Casino Time!

If Obama buddies up with Castro, I guess [[CUBA]] will run higher. Other than that, I would bet certain airlines will benefit from direct travel to Cuba.

The market will not be denied. Seriosuly, asshole, quit fighting the trend. Believe me, it took staggerring losses on my end to help me see the light, which is: the world isn’t ending any longer. Somehow, someway, we are going to survive. As a result, stocks can be bought, with a certain amount of discipline of course.

As you know, I’ve been diving into pools of [[GNK]] (largest position) and [[RFMD]]. I like the shippers, because they are late stage plays. Meaning: if the economies of the world rebound, the shippers will benefit over a long period of time, not just today. With a substantial increase in the Dry Bulk Shipping Index, a stock like [[GNK]] or [[TBSI]] can appreciate, significantly, over a long period of time.

In addition, I am long 10,000 [[FEED]], from $2.35. This play was a pure PPT play. A lot of people got onboard and banked some coin. For the record, I am holding out for higher prices.

Finally, into this rally, I like [[LDK]], [[PKD]], [[AMKR]], [[STAR]], [[OVTI]] and [[CIEN]]. At the present, my only hedges are long [[FXP]], [[SCO]], [[SSG]] and short [[ACC]]. I sold out of all of my [[SRS]] and [[FAZ]], allowing a very dark chapter in the life of Senor Tropicana to be closed.

Casino update Buy: Long 10,000 [[ODP]] @ $1.87.

    SRS had to rip the lips off of everyone who looked at a chart and said, “It’s low here, and has rebounded every time.” I am going to buy it in the 29’s and then go to sleep like rip van winkle.

    Every rally since mid 2007 has lasted around 6 weeks. We are in the 6th week of this rally. I would be very cautious. The market moving higher from here rapidly is extremely bearish NOT bullish. Bullish would be a 7-10% pullback and some consolidation prior to a move up. A continued move of this magnitude added to the fact the economy is still weak and earnings as a whole are going to be fairly poor is a bad sign. What goes up comes down eventually.

    I think the best way to play FAS/FAZ would be to short equidollar positions in both and let the well-documented “leveraged ETF price erosion” make the money.

    I think all here should realize that the situation right now is unlike any we have seen ever before. There is nothing to compare it to.

    I can see although thru total fuckery the DOW going straight to 10,000 without any resistance. Hedge funds are back in. and the government will absolutely keep on making speaches about how well everyhing is going. lies or not, they will keep this powerhouse rally going.

    You can take past market situations and charts and pitch them out the fucking window, that shit means nothing today. This is a whole new fucking ballgame going on here. The banks should have dropped back 3 weeks ago if “normal” market ups and downs were at play, but here we are in the 6th week of straight up. How many days can we see banks go up 10%, 15%, 25%, 35% everyday?

    I mean this in my 9 years of trading has never happened day after day. I mean FITB is now 4.50 and it was just 1.01 a few weeks ago that’s 450% in 6 weeks….I mean $100,000.00 investment just 6 weeks ago is now $450,000.00 (6 WEEKS PEOPLE!!!!!!)

    even GM actually filing for bankruptcy will not stop this train. They have played it down and are smoothing everyone over for it everyday by slowly hinting to the fact. so when the day comes, it will be no big deal. The market will in fact if all fuckery is on the table, go UP on that day…..why not, everyday I am already bewildered at the market going up with no reason at all.

    I mean just thursday FITB and BAC ended up 35% each, now today is the very next trading day and they are up 15 to 25% again? 2 days up 50%, 50% the few days before that, up 50% again a few days before that, 50% a few days before that….this is insane, yet here we are, fucking again, going up, and only one bank has reported….I expect the DOW to go up 1000 more points by next week

    Whatever, they’ve been mothballing and scrapping ships by the hundreds. Still long from SPX 734, but not for much longer. Banks, energy, going lower imo.

    i have traded and watched CUBA from time to time. The underlying holdings are not what you’d expect…it does these 20% spikes and then drifts lower.

    Need some opinions…

    The government postponed the stress test results until the end of the month. I read somewhere that they didn’t want to release the results during earnings, cause they didn’t want to interupt or distort the market in any way.

    Would this mean the results are good or bad?

  25. Cuba really doesn’t care as long as it’s getting tourist dollars. In fact, the Cuban government has already given three U.S. airlines (Continental Airlines, United Airlines, and US Airways) rights to fly directly from Cuba to most major American cities.

    Fly – you will be back to those leveraged bets because you ARE that degenerate OTB guy you are always talking about. You just can’t keep your greed in check.

    reminds me of those weird currency spikes (for a few weeks) before they really drop. its not natural.

    volumes dropping

    large amount of money on the sidelines. I guess its forced buying?

    shipping probably is on a floor now. at least it can go up. I like this thinking.
