Without Honour

[youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gJtIss7xso&feature=related 450 300]

This country is without honour. Therefore, its underlying stock market, where men high on cocaine do business daily, operates without dignity and a moral compass. It is, mind you, without virtue.

Today, investors circle jerked around the merger of two losers: [[PHM]] and [[CTX]], as if it means anything. And, people went long low quality trash, rather swimmingly, all day long.

As you know, “The Fly” is long his share of bullshit names, such as [[PKD]], [[LDK]], [[AMKR]] amongst others. Naturally, into the bell commercial Re stocks enjoyed a “WTF moment,” sending SRS reeling. I am fucking sick and tired of the asshole hell ride this etf is on.

Fly moves of note: sold out [[ISIL]], [[WRI]]. Bought LDK, PKD, FAZ, ERX, AMKR and [[TER]].

    I think he was trying to suck his cock versus a bow. Possibly a Sinclair smile moment.

    Any fucking way fuck those homos, I want to talk about the manipulation in CRE at the end of the day. Look I fucking laid into some HME at 32.50 today only to see it shit the bed a dollar then miraculously at the end of the day finish higher. What the fuck is that about. Also what the fuck was that major opening gap in ACC? This shit has issues, whoever the market marker is on these names needs to have his recent college graduate balls removed. Fucking egregious.

    Pete, regardless of whether you are a pussy or not:

    The “Kingdom of Saudi Arabia” is a false colonial construct in the first place. It’s about 80 years old, and the clown in the toga– the one Obama is arse-kissing– is the grandson of the one bedouin chief who was able to unite a group of peripatetic tribes under the banner of medieval militant Wahabbism.

    Saying you “respect Islam” (even when it’s clear you do not) is one thing. That’s diplomacy.

    Going out of your way to bow and scrape before hard pipin’ Wahabbists who take to weakness like wolves to crippled lambs is, on the other hand, idiocy.

    And to Slim with the distillery above — if you think the projection of American strength in the ME is of “trivial” consequence to your “spawn,” you must have fallen asleep after the Yalta Conference.

    Anyone remember the olympics in barcelona a while back? The US Team made a point of not dipping the flag as they passed Spain’s royal reviewing stand, the reason being that the American people do not bow to royalty. I agree that in some social situations it is polite for a gentleman to bow, but this was an official state visit where Obama was representing the American people. I don’t think any American president should bow to any monarch when operating in that capacity. Leave the curtsy for a private meeting.
    And no, this doesn’t matter all that much, but it’s just one more reason this guy just doesn’t have it all dialed-in. Like the Fly said, he’s a kid in a paper hat trying to pilot a battleship, or words to that effect.

    To Gappy, Anton, Fly and anyone else picking up the molten rod of SRS these days:

    You’ve seen what the gov’t is doing. They are now extending TALC-um powder unto even the shitty insurance companies.

    Who buys real estate?

    You also saw what the Treasury is doing with the CRE clowns… offering to extend them 3 to 5 year loans.

    The gummint, no matter how dumb, or misguided, will always have its way in the short term.

    Why not wait and let the fakestorm pass, and then take a swing at their skulls?

    President’s working group on markets. A mind-boggling push between 2:30 and close. It’s got all their fingerprints. Looks like they’re moving on from trying to manipulate the banks’ stocks directly. Maybe someone finally got bright to the 88 trillion in OTC derivatives JPmorgan is holding. Since the derivatives magnify the original losses, better to stem the bleeding at its source.

    That’s just my conspiracy theory. Anyone know of a way to look at the historical action in the order books?

    I’m at about BE with this POS. If the fear of God and holding thru Easter weekend doesn’t cause this thing to rise from the dead in a seasonal miracle tomorrow, I’m O-U-T.

    There is no making sense of this market, from my humble POV. There is no, no, NO effing way we should be up where we be at. It would make more sense for the gov’t to give every Americano $10 million in “walking around money” to “stimulate” the market back to life, grand mall seizure at the mall style.

    OEW Update: Market going higher once 830 taken out!

    “The recent action in the market appears to be taking too long to maintain the current count. So we have upgraded the rally from SPX 780 to 846/843 to a Minor wave 1, and the recent action Minor wave 2. This suggests that the market should soon venture into Minor wave 3 of Intermediate wave C. SPX 815 has been acting as decent support during this pullback. Once the SPX gets over 830 it should be on its way.”

    Looking for 870 and possibly 910 to complete this intial leg up … see what happens (still egregiously long with WTF hedges FAZ & SRS).

    HALTOM CITY, Texas—A woman called 911 to report she didn’t get as much shrimp as she wanted in her fried rice at a Texas restaurant.

    Haltom City police on Tuesday released the taped emergency call, in which the customer is heard telling the dispatcher, “to get a police officer up here, what has to happen?”

    The customer also says: “He didn’t even put extra shrimp in there.”

    The upset customer had left the Fort Worth-area restaurant when an officer arrived Monday afternoon.

    Restaurant workers say the woman had been denied a refund after leaving with her order, then returning to complain.

    Cook June Lee says nothing was wrong with the meal, and that “some customers are happy. Some are not.”

    My (admittedly) unqualified prediction:
    SRS trading above $80 within six weeks. I’ve said before – that molten rod will temper itself on bull tonsils by way of colons. It’s going to be a spit-roast, and those who hang on will not lack for tzatziki or soft pitas.

    Here is my proof – nitwads over at CNBC think this is a pullback and you should buy in for the rest of the “bottom” recovery.

I almost hate cre as much as these bitches, almost. The manipulation in cre is sickening however I believe shorts will eventually be enriched when this asshattery resides and staggering losses kick in. Reading through many 10ks over the weekend I can assure you companies are shitting themselves.

    Speaking of “dipping our flag to Spanish royalty…”

    From today’s Wall Street Journal Editorial Section:

    The State Department Just Doesnt’ Get It

    Judge Baltasar Garzón, an ambitious Spanish jurist, last month ordered prosecutors to investigate six men who served in the Bush Administration on criminal charges related to “torture.” None of the prospective defendants are accused of torturing or ordering the torture of anyone — only of arguing for legal positions of which Judge Garzón disapproves. He asserts that the principle of “universal jurisdiction” gives him the authority to try U.S. officials for alleged violations of international law.

    At a State Department briefing last week, a reporter asked Gordon Duguid, the acting deputy department spokesman, for the Obama Administration’s position. His reply: “I’m not aware of any contact with the Spanish Foreign Ministry on this. It’s a matter in the Spanish courts, as I’m given to understand. I don’t have a comment for you on it at this time. The Obama Administration’s position on the matters that are under discussion, I think are quite clear.”

    This is about as unclear a response as one can imagine. Far from being a mere “matter in the Spanish courts,” Judge Garzón’s action is an assault on American sovereignty and the integrity of the U.S. legal system. And while some in the Obama Administration may be tempted to cheer him on for partisan reasons, they risk helping to set a precedent that could easily come back to hurt them.

    While President Obama has politically repudiated many of his predecessor’s antiterror policies, his Justice Department has stood by many Bush legal arguments in national security cases. If former officials can be investigated — and, at least in theory, indicted, arrested and tried — on Judge Garzón’s say-so, what is to stop him or some other freelancing foreign judge from one day putting current officials in the dock for reaching supposedly faulty legal conclusions?

    Even if the principle of national sovereignty leaves Mr. Obama and his appointees cold, the imperative of self-preservation ought to concentrate their minds and make clear that Judge Garzón’s meddling in American policy is unacceptable.

    Funny.

    GS takes a dive in an up-market today, after flying high in a major down-market yesterday.

    MOS has super-terrible earnings, then runs up the day after selling off.

    We have a serious disconnect in all phases of market realities here.

    Finally, the great Obama master, BOWED down, to the oil sheik…and it is recorded forever on tape that way.

    Let’s face the truth….he bowed…he is obviously impressed with the uber muslim power-base.

    This is simply, because he is a MUSLIM first, an atheist second, and a “christian” third.

    After all, to run for prez in this country, you must be a Christian.

    Only then can you get elected…..and THEN you can fly around in the ultra deluxe pimp-mobile…

    Those that wish him ill will…and constantly offer nothing here on this blog but derisive, devisive (if not outright racist) comments…need to turn-off Limbaugh and Hannity…and do some serious self-examination !

    I’ll welcome ridicule of Obama’s support for Summers and Geitner trying to prop up the market. On the foreign policy side – fair game, people are bound to disagree. But let’s leave the nutwing conspiracy theories and vague accusations of being alternately a socialist/jihadist/domestic-terrorist-lover/bilderberg group pawn/etc/etc to the goldbugs.

    As John Stewart recently put it… You lost. It’s SUPPOSED to taste like a shit taco. (Trust me for eight years that’s what we’ve had to deal with). Criticism is the lifeblood of democracy. But get a grip on reality – he’s not coming for your guns or plotting the one world currency. He’s trying to repair our influence and prestige abroad. I’m waiting to see the results, but if he can deliver then who gives a shit. If he can’t deliver then have at him. It’s been, what, 10 weeks?

    @Lazy Man – That wasn’t exactly what I was looking for, but has plenty of merits all its own. I’ll be sure to look over it. Might even help my predictions to be somewhat less unqualified. Stranger things have happened.
