The Buy List

I’ve had a lot of time to think about my asset allocation. For the moment, I will overweight on the long side, at least until May. There is no way I enter the summer long equities.

Most likely, I will keep a good 10-20% in cash. I intend to make some pretty bold moves, which will be refreshing, especially since I’ve been acting like a big pussy.

Once gain, target shorts are ACC, WRI, MAC (2 points higher), HME , PACW and RIG. As far as etf’s are concerned, I will take a stab at FAZ in the teens and SRS in the 40’s.

I had a dream DUG went to $18. Therefore, I shall endeavor to buy it at $18.

On the long side, people think the recession is over, no shit. That is why semi’s are spiking. I will entertain these delusions via a long NSM position.

I like construction firm PCR and mining play BUCY.

In tech I like LOGI, NTGR, JNPR and CHL. In finance, I like AMG. And in health care, I like Ci. If forced to play oil, I’d buy GMXR, for a squeeze. And, in retail, I like GES.

Oh, don’t forget the fucking railroads, via GWR.

    Yo Fly,

    You use stops? A broker friend told me ppl who use stops reveal their hand and let brokers wipe through them to collect fees. Curious about your thoughts and none from the the rest of the douches that get into fights here like fags on the school yard.

  5. Fly, one of your PPT top ten is DNA which is done – bought out. Sometimes things like municipal bond funds appear in the top PPT 10 list. The big movers today were the RBS preferreds which popped 30 to 50%. I am being converted to committing more funds here too. Asia showing green right now. I was trading in my dreams the other nite too but I don’t remember much about it.

    The one CRE that is going to zero is ACC. The fact that they bought 75% of their properties 2006-2008 at inflated prices AND have huge debt due in the next 3 years makes it the one (one of many) in my world.

    Talked to a few of my friends who are retail brokers. They said they have been getting a lot of calls from clients who want ot buy into this rally. This tells me that most of this has been retail buyers coming in once the short covering starts the momentum. The crowd is forming. The fools are getting sucked in and the big money will soon drop the hammer.

    DUG at $18 eh?
    I was thinking of snatching up a little under $20. If oil surges high enough we might see DUG at 18. I’ll probably still buy under $20, but it will be interesting to watch what occurs. If I see it at $18, I’ll buy deep (for me), and hope no crazy geopolitics or natural disasters sabotage my nearly certain resultant gains.

    Generational-
    The bulltard crowd is forming. Mutual Funds are trying to pick winners for their quarterly statements hence the run in NASDAQ since it turned pos. for the year. All rallies are lead by short covering. Just like this one. When crowds form I will always be on the other side waiting for the big money to cut some balls off.
    A lot more job cuts announced this week, even Google is cutting. The new lows are coming soon. S&P 575

    I didn’t buy yet. I will make a list for next week on the weekend. Markets tend to trash on Fridays and Mondays. Remember this is only a primary trend subject to fuck up at any time also could go up like a rocket for no good reason. FLY may not use stops but he hedges and trades the right amounts for the conditions. If you are new to trading IE less than 5 years use stops. The FLY is a seasoned PRO with a great feel for the market.

    We are extremely lucky there is so much fear, panic and irrational behaviour in the market…how so? The German Finance Minister fucked the EUR by 300bps (may have changed since I last looked) with comments about its viability…little risk of the USD not being the world reserve currency for now even though it is a mess…the day the USD is no longer the world’s reserve currency it’ll be sphincter ripping time…

    He’s worried about Greece, ET. the freaking greeks could very well default by next winter. The place is truly fucked up.. the reds are out on the street and the government is in a panic and borrowing like crazy trying to holding things together. Meanwhile the Germans don’t want to bail the shit hole out.

    Europe’s problem is that it wages market is very inflexible and it needs a big devaluation through monetary easing however the ECB acts as like it can’t see the wood for the trees.

    I think opportunity is rising to short China again…what do I mean? They are stockpiling commodities like mad, but commodities traders and other “smart market participants” appear to be reading the demand signals all wrong. China in a very short period of time stockpiled a months worth of oil and they are currently buying copper, which I think is stockpiling rather than demand for production (I know call me captain obvious)…I know this is no great epiphany, but it is worth noting as at some point they won’t buy more…

    Yes I hate Goldman. Mostly because of the bullshit ties they have in the government, and also their failure to be truthful and open with their CDS exposure. Being made whole on their CDS with AIG ( taxpayer money) pisses me off. If you and I bought an insurance contract and the contract writer went belly up we would never get paid

    Goldman and its club completely manipulate the markets through lobbying and political bullshit
