America is Dead

Credit default swaps are blowing out everywhere. Pension funds and variable annuities are blown the fuck up. Life insurance firms are fixing to default. And, finally, our President is as dumb as a bag of rocks.

I thought Bush and his class of clowns were stupid; but Obama and his devious clan of tax cheats steal the show. These men have an agenda and will stop at nothing to apply it, even if it means fucking the market with sand paper bats.

You don’t raise taxes during a depression. These fuckers are committing the exact same errors, that were egregiously committed during the Great Depression.

Believe me, I want to believe in something better than the shit I see each and every day. But, how can I trade, with confidence, on the long side, knowing these assholes are going to raise taxes on dividends in 2009? WTF!

I have a handful of longs: ISRG, JRJC, TNA, UYM and CY. I have one short: REW. And, I am saddled with 70% cash, up 15% year to date. In other words, life is good for “The Fly,” despite these cock suckers trying to take me down.

With GE, GS, MET and MS in the tank, this market cannot rally. God willing, Bush’s PPT can reemerge and jack this fucker up, so that I can sell out of this bullshit TNA.

    Kansas Fed Prez points out the obvious:

    “We understandably would prefer not to “nationalize” these businesses, but in reacting as we are, we nevertheless are drifting into a situation where institutions are being nationalized piecemeal with no resolution of the crisis.”

    Hey Fly,

    So check this out.. I work at a major technology company (in NYC) – think routers & switches… anyway… I am in the elevator talking with an executive (yeah – I am a dumb shit tech sales specialist)… so, this “executive” (i.e. Mr. Moron) runs our MetLife team. So, I say “you know Met is in a shitload of trouble due to the CDS…. they might go the way of AIG”…

    Well, this bastard goes crazy on me… tells me how I am a fucking idiot… blah, blah….

    I do think Met is fucked. Now, I would like to short them in a very egregious way! lol… Is it ok with a short stop on the “buy to cover”?

    Listen I know we fuck around on this site and people talk their books but I just want to say something serious here and I don’t have time to put a full article on this in the PG.

    When people get desperate and start losing all of their income and have their budgets pegged to massive income they start doing very radical things. I am talking about Russia and the Middle East with regards to oil. As sure as I sit here right now I can tell you with a high degree of certainty that there will soon be some geopolitical conflict regarding oil. Oil is too cheap for these countries to survive and they MUST DO SOMETHING immediately else face a hostile takeover. I don’t care what you do but I would say take a couple minutes and think about this and consider taking a look at an oil ETF. Two of them are USO and DXO. If you want to hedge your position buy DUG but seriously take a look. My thoughts are there will be a major conflict in order to prop up the price soon. It has been too quiet lately and we have had draw downs the past 3 weeks. Now is the time to do it. Take it for what its worth, just my thoughts. Crude broker may opine on this.

    How the hell is oil sprinting up when the market is rolling over. The “new” Chinese stimulus plan was an outright lie and I highly doubt OPEC will get the same level of compliance if they cut production from here.

    from wiki:

    Credit Default Swaps were invented in 1997 by a team working for JPMorgan Chase[7][8][9]. They were designed to shift the risk of default to a third-party, and were therefore less punitive in terms of regulatory capital.[10]

    Credit Default Swaps became exempt from regulation with the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000, which was also responsible for the Enron loophole. U.S. Sen. Phil Gramm (R-TX) introduced the Act on behalf of financial industry lobbyists. The Modernization Act was rushed through Congress as a companion bill to the omnibus spending bill, the last day before the Christmas holiday. It by-passed the substantive policy committees in both the House and the Senate so that there were neither hearings nor opportunities for recorded committee votes

    The irony!!

    Why not cancel all CDS contracts effective immediately. CDS is another way for a dumbass investor to skip due diligence. ‘I’m going to go buy some GE bonds because GE is a safe company. I’m too lazy to do due diligence and I don’t really understand how GE operates so I’ll go buy some CDS on GE bonds just in case I am wrong’

    ya CAP , markethas no regulation for CDS. No exchange, no SHIT!! while I was still at the swaps industry last year, we have already raised this doubt. But, the money managers can care less about it. All they do is, jump into ABX CDS to catch a falling knife. Or, they sold protection to get some premium, and then find themselves missing underperforming the benchmark.

    To just respond, I mean oil is subject to extreme political risk and right now when people are backed into a corner they will do desperate things. I would NOT be short over any weekends or nights for that matter but there are chances to short morning gaps but you must be quick. I think the money is best put long and double long. But then again I have a 12.5 month time frame left on my thesis.

    Let’s try and maintain some perspective.

    Cigar,

    I hope your skill set is as advertised. It may come in handy when you are in the first round of layoffs for pissing off the higher pay scale types.

    On the flip side, sure would be great if you could trouser a couple hundred off a metlife short. That would likely finance your meager lifestyle for months.

    Bye bye.
