Get Ready to Be Rich

Fuck all of you coffin lovers. Me and my boy Swan are going to make some money soon, on the long side.

Despite this economy being the laughing stock of the world, it’s still not the shitter, like  Russia and Europe, if you know what I mean. Quite simply, the rest of the world is deserving of a few hundred cluster bombs, dropped on their respective domes (you can use that phrase straight up or street slang, whichever you prefer).

While it’s true, President Obama is death to the markets, mainly because he is continuing and accelerating the bullshit policies of Bush. It’s also true that humans like to feel good about themselves, every so often. So, with the warm weather coming in and gas prices nice and cheap, we may be set up here for one fuck of a rally.

Either way, I will not invest more than 50% of my assets on the long side. Nonetheless, into a rally, you might want to bottom fish some cheap stocks, like PCR, ERTS, TTWO, CLF or fuck around with some levered etf’s UYM and TNA.

Believe me, I am tempted to buy 100,000 GE at these levels. However, their finance arm, GE Capital, is a fucking black box. I cannot put money into a black box.

For the most part, I want no part of the banks.

Other dice rolls include, but not exclusive to, UNH, HUM, FWLT, FLR, JNPR, WFR and ATHR.

UPDATE: Denninger is on fucking fire tonight.

    BOOM really is dirt cheap. They had a great call and report. Won the biggest contracts in company history, no let up in end markets. Paying down debt. I’m not sure if a hedge fund blew up and was forced to liquidate, or what, but this sell-off is unwarranted.

    I got in too early (and in front of the vicious sell-off) and can’t win more. But someone getting in at $5-6 is gonna have a double in 2 wks. That’s my thought, anyway.

    forex is signaling a slow rebound in commodities (or high yielding currencies like EUR,AUD,NOR) as weak bulls in commodities get panic from unusual plunges that are always bought.

    Fly:

    — Explosive Metalworking segment reports year-end backlog of $97 million
    — Multiple large contracts awarded from alternative energy, aluminum
    production & power generation sectors
    — Full-year operating cash flow increases 82% to $34.0 million versus
    2007
    — Corporate liquidity strengthened through a 32%, or $21.8 million,
    reduction in net debt
    — Preliminary full-year EPS reported at $1.91 versus $2.00 in fiscal
    2007

    Rick Santa, senior vice president and chief financial officer, said, “The cash generating capacity of DMC’s business model was clearly evident in 2008, when we reported operating cash flow of $34.0 million, an increase of 82% versus fiscal 2007. Our liquidity allowed us to reduce our net indebtedness at Dec. 31, 2008, to $46.3 million. This represents a reduction of $21.8 million, or 32%, versus the end of fiscal 2007. We are encouraged by the strength of our year-end balance sheet, which included cash and cash equivalents of $14.4 million. Moreover, we had no outstanding borrowings on roughly $35 million in available revolving credit facilities. Despite the current economic crisis, we expect to continue generating strong operating cash flow in fiscal 2009.

    Much as I ballyhooed 6500, I don’t think there is a whole lot of support there.

    If it’s going to bounce, it better bounce soon.

    I understand your “black-box” theory, but Can you honestly tell me, Buffet didnt swim in GE financial documents for DAYS before giving them a penny? I think the fact that buffet was willing to drop money into GE @ levels almost 4 times what they are now, would say that its a deal of a fucking life time.

    buffet’s shop probably did a decent job with their analysis. they just didn’t account for the fact that a huge chunk of the balance sheet was going to go away essentially overnight, triggering the credit watches and downgrades. if there was no threat of (and reason for) credit downgrades, we wouldn’t be sitting here right now.

    No rally in financials. The banks are going to zero. The Obama government has conspired with hedge funds to drive the banks under. Everything thing Obama and his admin have done since taking over is geared to driving banks under.

    Hedgies were huge Obama campaign donors. There reward will be becoming the new titans of the financial world. Drive all the Wall Street and major banks under. Then allow hedge funds to swoop in and acquire bank assets for pennies. Banks will be nationalized and then privatized under the control of hedge funds. This was the plan all along.

    Obama is practically encouraging people to default on their debt. Who will this hurt ? The banks ofcourse. People default in mass and the banks are done. I will continue to short banks. BAC WFC JPM GE are done.

    BTIM– is my speculative PICK OF THE WEEK! NOT for the faint hearted!

    Obama’s policy will encourage investment into stem cell companies, said Michael West, the founder and former chief executive of Geron Corp., the first company to use human embryonic stem cells after they were discovered in 1996.

    “As the entrepreneur who was out there trying to move the industry forward, the Bush policy massively impacted the willingness of investors to put up money,” West said in a telephone interview yesterday. “Many of us hope this will spawn the new era of regenerative medicine we’ve been waiting for all these years. What a sigh of relief.”

    West’s current company, Biotime Inc., based in Berkeley, California, is selling 88 cell lines carrying genetic diseases, including muscular dystrophy, Huntington’s disease and multiple sclerosis. The cells were created by a Chicago fertility center from embryos left over from in-vitro fertilization treatments.

    U.S. Senator Krudlow????!!!!! You gotta be kidding:

    “For instance, Larry Kudlow, a conservative economist who is considering a run for the United States Senate, is the co-host of an 11 a.m. news hour. Three CNBC employees, who insisted on anonymity to discuss internal deliberations, said that the role of opinion on the channel had been a subject of frequent discussion.”

    Warning: shameless smallcap pump attempt forthcoming! Fly, if you’re looking for good cash rich plays you should look at EDCI. They’ve closed on the sale of their US operations for $26mm in 4th Q which should leave them with a net cash position of roughly 68.7mm or $10.26/share. This assumes they were cash flow breakeven in the 4th quarter (traditionally a cash building quarter). They also have roughly $300mm in NOL’s. Dan Chapman, an activist hedge fund manager and the largest shareholder, just got himself appointed as CEO and has been cleaning house in the executive ranks. Plus, the company is currently in the market buying back the stock.
