It’s Tea Time!

I am very tempted to begin a crusade of sorts against the fuckers who buy oil and oil stocks, during economic collapse. I can undertake such measures in a variety of ways.

The straight forward approach is to sell short bloated rig makers, like NOV and RIG. Or, I can reinitiate my war versus XOM.

However, considering the risk at hand, delving into individual names, I will likely bet against the sector, by way of etf.

To bet against the commodity (oil), I might go with SCO or DTO.

And, as you well know, I shall bet against you inflation losers, via ERY or DUG.

Bottom line: Should oil trade back down to the low $40’s/high $30’s, I will be tea bagging the Texas tea baggers in their own kettle, if that makes any sense to you—God speed.

Update: Pardon me for interrupting this Tea Party, I just bought 2,000 FAZ @ $19.16.

Update II: I sold out of NSM, around $10.80. My only positions are FAZ and SRS. Funny how that happened.

    DUG is the play IMO.
    “Conoco Phillips (COP Quote – Cramer on COP – Stock Picks) upgraded at Goldman Sachs to Buy from Neutral based on valuation. Shares are down 23% this year, while domestic integrated oils are up 7%. The key catalyst for the stock is a recovery in oil prices during the second half of 2009. With shares having lagged peers during recent rally, the stock is now too cheap relative to peers and with respect to its assets. Price target lowered to $47 from $50.”

    I guess the analyst at GS don’t care about the large debt load that COP is carrying. Fuck GS and their bullshit analysts. remember the $200 oil call. total BS, their desk will probably short the name

    Jack Dryfus died according to the scroll on CNBC (have my sound muted so I can nap-waiting for Bay Hill on Golf Channel)).
    Is he Elaine’s (from Seinfeld) father or grandfather in real life?

    Bay Hill is a great prelude to the Masters. It’s even more enjoyable to watch them award a green jacket when you’re wining yours.

    Cash- My son has played a few tournaments in the past at Copperhead. Never had any good ones there but always did better at The Island course.
    I liked staying at the villas there.
    Goosen’s swing guy is the pro at Lake Nona in Orlando and started playing better a few years ago when he left Leadbetter (I think it was Leadbetter).

    Gonna try to get to Bay Hill on Sunday.

    Trader…Island i think is harder than Copperhead…both are nice. Goosen refused alot of kids autographs all weekend..not a classy move. Lehman was great.

    Didn’t know Goosen was a prick.
    I saw Lehman in Illinois a number of years ago when he came to speak to a bunch of juniors after he just lost the US Open. He flew out right afterwards to keep his commitment. A gentleman.
    I have lots of locker room stories (told to me by a couple of touring players) about some of these PGA guys. Mostly good but some are real assholes.
