Do Not Fear the Inevitable

The winds of recovery are behind the sails of the market, despite absurd GDP statistics. The days of lock limit down S&P futures are gone, at least for now.

Should we sell off into the close, I accept the loss as a mere way station to the path of gloriously greedy profits. We are stuck in the amber of range bound thinking, where investors on both ends of the spectrum are tentative about pressing their respective bets.

With my money, I am on strike, not selling, nor buying. I have my positions, along with a 10% cash reserve, and will now lie in the bed that I created.

The market is not about being right on every trade. In my case, I am not investing; but instead, I am creating art. The things that I am doing are all sponsored and approved by the Grand Recursive Order of the Knights of the Lambda Calculus, along with support from all of the stock Gods.

Any present or future market losses shall be viewed upon as generous handicaps, for your favor, in order to give ample opportunity to play catch up.

In all seriousness, considering all of God awful horrendous news, such as a WORLDWIDE PANDEMIC, CHRYSLER BK and GOVERNMENT SPONSORED FRAUD, I believe the market is taking the news flow in stride.

Bottom line: Long and strong.

NOTE: I have shit to do. Therefore, this is my final market hours post.

    Whoa? No videos?

    I have a feeling this Monday we are having the next leg up on this rally…I fear this “stress test” bullshit will prove to be A LIE (our banking system is sound), therefore creating a huge short squeeze.

    Turnaround Friday ahead. Being flat at the end of the day eliminates worry. This is not a market to bet large in either direction.

    take care and best wishes to all.

    If you’re a portfolio manager, and you have 92% of the portfolio concentrated in a single stock, and that stock is down 75% in a single day, will you soon be making a living mowing lawns?

    I tell you guys, you rag on Devildog all the time, but you have to give him credit for the call he made 10 times back when the S&P was 690 and 700 that it would go to 874,

    here we are at 874 exactly and have been basically for a week and cannot break thru. In fact as I write this the S&P is 872.70

    If no one else does, Devil I give you credit for the call.

    carry on.

    It seems the “fly” is now doubting himself.
    and is left wondering…..

    {will now lie in the bed that I created)

    running away from it does lessen the pain…. but it doesn’t solve the problem. we are heading downhill from here. put your ski goggles on.

  37. I finished up in the red by approximately the amount I was down in a purchase of some TNA. I changed my bid upwards on that purchase – almost always happens that the original bid was best. Taiwan is closed tomorrow but it will continue to rally next week.

    “UAW bitches go drink sour milk and have a pork chop…they are on sale.”

    I’d suggest everyone boycott American car companies
    (I can’t, cause I’d never buy one to begin with). Those “bitches” deserve some hurt along with Obama and his thugs for the continued rape of the american tax payer! F all those MFer’s.

    BTW – The Fly is one funny sad sack! I’m going to short the market here and now and leave this sad country.

    So the consensus is the American people trust this administration to make everything all right . Is that it?
    I missed the market today as I was at the State Capitol doing political stuff. I sure don’t trust those guys. Walking around in a daze muttering “what are we going to do without Kathleen?” Pitiful really!

    Classic asshattery in legal form

    “‘US may recover little of $4 bln Chrysler loan-source…Among the stakeholders that will make sacrifices is the U.S. government,’ said the official after Chrysler filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in New York”

    I hope you fuckos are happy with your trades, banking serious coins on this dope news!

    Happy trading, because this government is out to fuck you later.

    Better than insider info;
    Diners report seeing Virgin Mary in food griddle
    CALEXICO, Calif. (AP) – The hottest thing on the griddle at the Las Palmas restaurant these days isn’t the food—it’s the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe that a cook says she saw on the griddle.
    Restaurant manager Brenda Martinez says more than 100 people have flocked to the small town of Calexico on the California-Mexico border to gaze at the likeness of the Virgin Mary since it was discovered as the griddle was being cleaned.
    Among the awe-struck was a group of masked Mexican wrestlers who arrived Thursday for an exhibition at a nearby swap meet.
    One, known as Mr. Tempest, says: “This is amazing. It’s a true miracle.”
    Since the discovery, the griddle has been taken out of service and placed in a shrine in a storage room.

    Any thoughts on the dirty swine spreading this weekend? BCRX has settled a bit and looks like its about to squeeze higher. Chicago has numerous school closings already but nothing confirmed yet. Should hit the news this weekend.
