You know damn well the market is set to make a decisive move, significantly lower or higher, soon. I must say, as much as I would like to see us reflate like a motherfucker, it looks like we’re about to enter “vaporlock” mode, if there is such a thing.

We have no leadership on Wall Street. None of our executives have the balls to go to Congress and say “Assholes, you need us to finance your bullshit.” Because of this vacuum of leadership, stocks are subject to all sorts of fuckery.

Nonetheless, I am TRYING to give the long side another whirl here, via long GLW/WNR. However, in all fairness, my WNR position is more of a hedge against my big DUG/ERY positions, if anything.

I am still short ESS and FRT and will initiate new cre shorts soon. I was waiting for a bounce, prior to doing so. However, much to my chagrin, it does not look like the market has the stones to go up.

With my money, I like short oil, short commercial Re, long refiners and lots of cash.

    Group think into a Friday can cause one to lose their testes.

    I can’t say which way we will go but I can say we are horribly oversold here, even with that shitbag Obama at the helm dishing out 750 Billion dollar lollipops at will. Whichever way we go there is bound to be fucking trickery at every corner. If the market dips tomorrow morning hard I am buying as we will probably finish 1000 750 points higher. Sharpen your bayonets.

    By the way WHAT THE FUCK IS SIGNIFICANT ABOUT 750? Is this all the capacity these printing presses have at this time? What is it? Why not just fucking print 800Billion or 1Trillion. Now I know 1Trillion scares people but fuck what are we used car salesmen?

    You fucking people disgust me. Fuck you all and down with gold. Off to get “Eh Rab Money” via oil.

    Starting to remind me of early June 2002 when the late May rallies out of the bear failed and we had weeks of declines until a waterfall decline about the third week of July and a mid afternoon sharp rally began on a Thursday that ended the losses.

    Ah yes. Vaporlock.

    The last time I heard that term was about 20 years ago with my 74 Triumph TR-6. The damned fuel line went from the rear tank, under the frame, up the left side of the engine OVER the head and then split to the 2 carbs. When I drove it more than 20 minutes the fuel line sitting on the head would heat up and create vapor lock, vaporizing the gas before hitting the carbs. I would sputter, buck, and shimmy, piss and moan, and finally shutter to a stop. After lifting the hood and looking at it for 30 minutes, it would start right up again because everything cooled down…..only to enter vapor lock mode once again. Took me a while to figure out what the hell was going on, moved the line to the right side and fixed it.

    But enough about that car. Typical British sports car. Much preferred to be looked at rather than actually driven.

    Great call with SWHC, Broker. Now that was a nice ride. No vapor lock there.

    Long FAZ and SRS over here. Trading FAZ and riding SRS, that is.

I sold some SDP @ $54 for some nice gains today and immediately bought 5000 more shares of DZZ @ 21.27. I also bought a token amount 328 shares of MON @ $77.11.

    The Artist,

    I gave it a good thought on SWHC this morning (about holding into Monday nubers).
    But given my bearish thesis on the markets (DOW to 6000), I couldnt fathom a scenario in which SWHC could reasonably hit $5 — especially given the spectacular run it just had. $4 is also the 200-day MA on SWHC.

    I could be wrong, but I’m happy with my gains. Sold half at 3.70 and half at $4.

    Jake,

    I have also become a believer of gold.

    Frankly, I thought the inflation trade would take longer to play out given the deflationary depression the world is in. I also figured the big boys would run the bond bubble a while longer. They didnt. These are curious times we’re in.

    With Europe quickly hitting the shitter, gold’s appeal as an alternative central bank reserve currency is gaining serious traction.

    I just hate buying gold up here. I’d LOVE to see gold below $850. If we dip below that number, I’ll be buying with both hands.

    If not, I’ll just have to miss out.

    Junk,

    I want to do it 2 ways.

    First, I want to buy Canadian Maple Leaves. I also want to do it outside the US to avoid high capital gains taxes on bullion. If you do it in Canada, you avoid taxation all together because they dont report to the US IRS.

    Second, I’ll buy the GLD and manage that. Sure, the cap gains are there and there’s sketch factor regarding ETF’s, but it’s liquid and easy to get in and out of.

    The Maple Leaves will be for the long-term (ie, Mad Max/Mayan Calendar future that’s coming). There’s precedent for government seizure of gold (1933 with FDR), so you want to avoid purchasing and holding gold in the US.

    Those are my tips.

    Good point (about your comment on guns to protect gold).

    There’s a biblical reference on stealing to feed your family and if you get caught you pay back 7x. I’ll ask my wife. She’s a walking concordance…

    Dave,

    No need to steal, man. You can always move out to California and form a gypsy community — you know, life off the land, and all.

    “It’s in Proverbs, stupid.”

    I need to look up some verses on “submissive wives.”

    Prov 6

    30Men do not despise a thief if he steals
    To satisfy himself when he is hungry;
    31But when he is found, he must (AL)repay sevenfold;
    He must give all the substance of his house.
