The Fly Strikes Back/ Time to Execute Two

The bitch (Mother Market) tried to knock me out on Thursday. However, yet again, “The Fly” rose up with a full head of anger and dispatched her into an idle sewer pipe.

I banked some coin today, which, incidentally, feels a lot better than losing coin.

I have a meeting to attend, so this is my final post for the trading day. I leave you under favorable conditions, long [[GNK]], [[RFMD]], [[TER]], [[AMKR]], [[OVTI]], [[CIEN[], [[STAR]], [[LDK]], [[PKD]], [[ODP]], [[FEED]] even [[CROX]]!

For the love of pencil sharpeners and skinny fingers, I am long the biggest pieces of offal and loving it.

My only hedges include: [[FXP]], [[SCO]] and short [[ACC]].

In short, “The Fly” wins again, even though it appeared he was about to get kicked into a garbage truck.

As an aside, in order to celebrate my great victories, I am going to execute two prospective bloggers, via democratic proxy. Thank you and be well.

WHO WILL DIE NEXT!?

Vote for the TWO candidates who are least deserving of an iBC blog.

    Its just fucking amazing how shit has gone from the end of the world to massive upside coming. I guess depressions end like that but hey its all a fucking facade anyway engineered to get you the fuckfaces money. I mean look at TARP, they straight up car jacked a brotha of his money and then turn around and reported fucking magnificent exuberant stupendous record profits. Are you fucking kidding me? We have another 3 trillion in the pipeline for fuckers making record profits? How can you possibly short that scenario. Anyway fuck it, I am done typing on this magical keyboard, I am jumping on my magic carpet and riding home to my magic kingdom where I will brush my unicorns and prepare my magic sword fish steaks topped with whale oil. Its magically delicious.

    Screw the banks, and the shippers. The BDI is in the toilet, and the tanker storage cantango is winding down. Ask Japan how their export business is going, or China. Sure, you might get the asians to part with some coin for a new bust duster, but it isn’t going to be enough to do diddly for employment, or lending, going forward.

    OEW Daily Summary:

    “After the three day weekend the SPX pulled back into support at the 848 pivot. Holding support it rallied to new highs for the uptrend heading into the close. In the last half hour the SPX ran into the first fibo resistance level at 863 (Int. C = 0.50 Int. A) noted this weekend. As long as the SPX does not revisit todays lows (845) it appears this third wave should continue higher.”

    Last thanks to RC (for the ad) and Watcher for the endorsements. I am afraid I will be a polarizing figure, and so perhaps “too hot” for some in this crowd.

    That said, I will endeavor to put a “sample post” up in the PeeG tonight, although it strikes me any such postings only invite the scimitar of certain head lopping.

    Don’t worry about the globe.

    I wasn’t speaking of your home town paper, per se– although I’m sure they’re one purveryor that will be wringing their hands, collectively– but of the “global press,” which seems to have swallowed whole the misguided idea that responding to any violence with properly applied force will somehow cause a never ending spiral of increased violence.

    Of course, if this were the case, no wars would ever end, which is historically farcical.

    Well jake, regardless, they were selling on strength, which is hardly bullish.

    Well, any other day, I’d agree with you. However, before a secondary is issued the lead bookrunner themselves will be shorting the issue — heavily — in order to accomodate the market making that must take place when that much new stock is brought to the market place.

    Do you see how it might be different than any “regular” trading day for GS?

    In the case of this issue, which is 5mm shares at something like $125- $128 per share… $7.7 mm of negative outflow is only about 6100 shares equivalent of that five million coming tomorrow.

    Do you see how little that is? That’s why I’d actually posit that that small an amount indicates that there’s a lot of demand out there for GS, whether we like it or not.

    I’ve been hearing stuff like this is the bottom not the top for the financials. Sorry, I don’t buy it.

    Remember that maxim about the market staying insane longer than one can stay solvent, and be careful!

    I love that Obama said nothing about the incident prior to the bad guys being wasted. Perfect! Give the military on the scene the leeway that they need and then butt the fuck out!

    How nice it is to no longer have a president blustering for domestic political considerations at the expense of our guys on the ground. Pandering to the Rush crowd from the safety of his armchair; only to watch the bad guys go free in the end.
