Guns and Cheap Drugs

Gun makers RGR and SWHC are on fire, as well as cheap drug stocks, like WPI, TEVA and MYL.

What does that mean?

Nothing. Absolutely nothing, aside from the fact that people have done lost their minds.

Expanding on this trade, it might make sense going long BGFV or CAB, due to insatiable demand for guns and survival gear—LMAO. However, I would not recommend buying BGFV ahead of earnings, due out tomorrow.

North of $8.40, I sold out of 3/4th’s of my RGR position and put the proceeds to cash. Right now, I am comfortable being short oil stocks, while holding onto some SWHC. Everything else is an ass.

    Guns are strictly controlled in Australia. You need to have a permit, attend classes and demonstrate that you have a safe with spot checks from the cops possible.

    No automatics or semi, no handguns.

    they changed the law in 97 when this idiot killed 33 people in a tourist trap in Tasmania.

    There may be no better explanation for today’s market trouble than the following paragraph:


    ABC News WASHINGTON – Vice President Joe Biden said Wednesday that the Obama administration’s stimulus program is designed to “drop-kick” the economy out of its deep recession, declaring he is determined to ensure the $787 billion “gets out the door quickly and wisely.”

    Holy fooks, Joe Fookin’ Biden in charge of nearly $800 bn in spending?

    I’m not exaggerating when I say that’s staggering.

    And frightening.

    I read somewhere recently that Obama will be pressured by the wingnuts to revoke the 2nd amendment.

    Failing that, then the author of the article wondered if he would create a huge tax or extreme regulatory burden on handguns that will make them either prohibitively expensive or a regulatory pain in the ass to purchase.

    If this is true, then the surge in demand may be as much about getting in front of increased taxes/regulation as it is about survivalists.

    Jake:

    Actually, from what I am hearing, silver is a better bet than gold right now. Gold still has a long way to run, but silver must really rise from here to catch up to normal historic silver/gold ratios.

    Nope Artist, in fact you had to turn them in. They bought them at a nominal price and that was it. They destroyed them after that and turned them into scrap. This included older semis and automatics. The gun culture here was as big as the US for hunting.

    They can get away with that shit here because there were no constitutional provisions.

    Actually, it was more like 25 silver coins for one gold coin. My point being that right now the ratio is like 69 silver coins to one gold. Silver has to rise significantly to rise to historic ratios.

    Why are you fuckers always talking about how the fucking gold coins won’t be able to be used at the end of times?

    It is a store of value until the next fiat system, (called the Amero), is put in place.

    Gold is a thing of the past in terms of a currency backing. IT WILL NEVER be introduced again as a gold standard , gold exchange standard or any shit like that.

    What we need is free banking and free currency issue with no central bank. Wanna set up a bank.. go ahead as it should be as easy as setting up a 711.

    The market will then decide what the proper level of leverage will be especially when lender of last resort is removed.

    My guess is that banks would operate with far less leverage. If people wanna sue gold as currency so be. My guess though is that currency would still be around.

    oh and no freaking central bank that causes this.

    This system would certainly remove the shit the Fed did which is maintain an easy interest rate policy.

    Bought some BAC at 4.52.

    Bought a little doll yen to add to my pos below 97.

    The weakness of the Yen in Asia today was palpable. Palpable!!!!!

    You could feel it through the screens. That drop in exports has fucked them really hard and the reality is that they never really cleaned up their fucking act from the 90’s. They really still have Zombie companies.

    That place is seriously fucked and they will have to turn the shit around to raise domestic consumption. Trouble is that their demographics are catching up to them now.

    They’re fucked and the only thing they can do is weaken the Yen. This shit is heading to 150 in 24 months.

    Imagine the scenario the US wakes up in 2010 and they are still in a freaking recession and can’t get out.

    Fly watch the Euro Yen cross as the Yen is actually weaker than the Euro at present. You may wanna swap over and ride the Japanese wave as they both fucked.

    Gold miners are the undiscovered opportunity to play this fucked up economy…think about them…majors have no debt…millions of oz’s in the ground…production costs tanked with oil tanking…ave cost per oz delivered is about $400/oz…do you really think gold will ever drop anywhere close to that price? O and dont forget the chindians all wanting to trade worthless Tbills for trinkets to put thru their noses and penises…take a look at how miners did the last depression, Homestake soared about 1600% and they were’nt the only one.

    Open question to the group:

    I just spoke to the CFO of a company I have a material interest in. He knows my name because I’ve sent him flaming “how can you fuck up a call that bad” type emails, and I currently own about 50k shares of his company’s stock.

    Perhaps I am reaching, but does the group have any thoughts on the following…

    Can any correlation be made between a company’s timing of earnings and results? Let’s say this company usually gives a 30 day advance notice of the release. This time no announcement of a date.

    During the call, the CFO was coy with me. He made it sound like they were compressing the earns release date, moving it forward with no notice, or planning some sort of pre-announcement.

    Can I make any inference from this?

    Thanks in advance,

    NOOBER

    Yea, but they had a gold standard/exchange standard in those days which meant gold had a monetary element to it and the government bought it off you at the fixed price. It doesn’t any more other than the gold bugs who think there is a huge conspiracy to keep the price of gold down by central banks. It’s bullshit. IT was a good ride though and still will be, but don’t be under any illusions.

    want to know why?

    I was always betting the Chinese would buy gold in exchange for their reserves as they don’t want the US to fuck them and 1/2 the value over the next decade by inflating away their holdings.

    Well they’re not, even though they have a small gold reserve compared to other big countries.

    They’re buying mining companies that have real value long term like Rio which is distressed. They are spending 20 billion to buy into Rio,. They are also buying another two mining companies here. So all told they have spent 25 Billion in Australia over the last few weeks.

    I will change my mind though if the Oz government doesn’t approve the deal.

    They just wanna get out of dollars.

    They may also buy US firms soon enough.

    Agreed. My silver to gold holdings ratio right now is about 2.5:1.

    Whenever you hear me say gold, think — in the best Monty Python sense — “all holders of precious metals in general.”
