Asshole Tape

CNBC is reporting the Fed will announce a record reduction in their balance sheet today, anywhere between 200-400 billion dollars. In my opinion, this firms up the deflation story and should punch oil, if I may be so bold, in the scrotum.

However, seeing how many banks pole vaulted above resistance levels, I have very little interest in adding to any shorts. As a matter of fact, I have greatly reduced my shorts, specifically in EEV and REW.

As of right now, my largest bear bets are in DUG, ERY and, unfortunately, SRS.

Despite hating the SRS action, I will ride it out.

On the long side, I added to my FXI position and initiated a position in MT. The text book says these gains should hold.

But who knows?

Go ahead, act like you knew this would happen and say “Gee Fly, I am hoping for you to get your mojo back.”

You fucking idiots. Being successful in the market is not about nailing every trade, every day. For me, it is a game of attrition, where I steadily plot my next move, much to the chagrin of others. There will be lost battles and many hits along the way.

However, when it’s all said and done, “The Fly” aka HORATIO CLAWHAMMER wins the war, every fucking time. You can bank on that.

UPDATE: I bought 5,000 BUCY @ $17.13

    Privately, something close to desperation is starting to develop inside government. After watching the slide in bank shares on Friday, one cabinet minister did not altogether joke when he said: “The banks are fucked, we’re fucked, the country’s fucked.”

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/jan/19/economy-banking

    “The banks are fucked, we’re fucked, the country’s fucked.”

    Also, are you forgetting that i sold out of many inverses and added to longs today?

    I fucking sold out of ALL OF MY INVERSES near their peaks you idiot. I was 100% cash. I legged into shorts. I did not lose any money on longs.

    And, finally, I came into today with 45% short, 35% cash.

    Moreover, during today’s tape, if you bothered to look, I added to longs, while selling more inverses.

    You fuckers just like to talk shit.
