Readying to Cover

This is it for “The Fly.”

I have little desire to suck the blood from asshole dip buyers any longer. The market has crashed into a titanium wall for about the 100th time now. I sense it is time to cover my shorts, go to cash, and go eat a sandwich. If the market crashes even further, disturbing the lower depths of hells floorboards, I am prepared, as a man and a tax paying citizen of this bullshit country, to miss out on such said events.

For the record, my longs have been lit aflame this afternoon, amidst stupidity on a grand scale. However, my short positions, particularly in oil, have made up for any deficits and more, putting my year to date returns upward of 17%.

Just so you know, my short positions include: DUG, ERY, REW, SDP, CPT, ESS, FRT and a little DRR.

As for my longs: I have not sold any of them, despite their “knifeward” action.

More on this later.

    PRISON TO THE FAST MONEY COCKSUCKERS!!!

    Come on…they said “something brewing” in Mosaic, only to have the stock fall 14% the next day.

    Those assholes were probably unloading their position.

    Nice Idiot Wave prediction for today. Well advertised patterns tend to fail. The day isn’t over yet who knows we might be up by 300 before the day is done.

    Usually, whoever is making money shorting knows when the turns are going to be since they’ve been in the market and are more in tune to turns whereas someone who’s out probably hasn’t followed it as closely. Forget about someone who’s long and is losing, they can’t see anything clearly. I’m going to start tipping into FAS a little bit here and look for a few other oversold names. Hope you’re right FLY.

    I am selling all but a small amount of DUG/ERY.

    Eventually, DUG prints $50. But, there will be short squeezes along the way.

    At least we got the fucking internet from the last recession.

    What did we get this for this one….stock in AIG,C,…and a bunch of old Jet Ski’s and Houses in Detroit and Baltimore. Brobama needs to text Barbara Streisand and find out what to do.

    THE TODD,

    Send your email, I will trade my PPT username and password
    for the Gartman Letter. Heck, I’ll throw in a 2 year on thestreet.com Money Silver for free (Dougie Kass egregious bullish calls on the biggest market meltdown since the 40s).

    12:30 pm
    12:30 Keefe, Bruyette & Woods on Monday upgraded JPMorgan Chase to outperform from market perform, expecting the bank to outperform its peers because of the momentum in its franchise, the strength of its balance sheet and more manageable capital needs.

    The firm also said that if the unemployment rate stays below 10 percent, JPMorgan was unlikely to need additional capital. If the rate rises above that, however, the bank would need to raise $6 billion, KBW said, an amount it said was manageable, representing 7 percent of its market capitalization.

    hahhahaa… any takers?

    For the record, until we see a VIX in the 70’s, this market does not deserve to be covered.

    I continue to hold my shorts.

    I will cover, however, 1500 XOM at $65, given that it was my initial target when I got short in the high 70s, low 80s. At $60, I will cover my remaining 1500 and close XOM entirely.

    DUG I will close at 34, as it was my projected measured move. Everything else in my short portfolio (CPKI, AAPL, NTRS, etc etc) stays.

    anyone who has given Jim “asshat of the year” Cramer’s The Street.com money and blogs on THIS blog is a traiter and must have his nuts removed and served back to him in a garlic and gravy sauce. (of course that would almost be an insult to garlic and gravy)

    On second thought, anyone who has given Jim “the dumbest retard jerkoff B-rated actor assclown pompous homo” Cramer any money for “stock market advice” should be tied to a pole and excuted at once for shear stupidity.

    any other suggestions as to what to do with these people, chime in.
