Gentlemen, We Are Rich

Go buy your neighbors kid a bicycle and your co-worker a new pair of pants. The market has become a rogue ATM machine, where only $100,000 bills spit out.

As for me: my cash position is now north of of 35%, yet I am saddled with lots of low priced garbagio, very much so.

To sum up today’s rally, I leave you with a phrase: THE WOODSHEDDER BOTTOM.

Off to eat a steak made from gold.

    Thanks Mr. Fly.
    When am I going to get my bicycle?
    I would like mine with streamers on the handles and a Yankees baseball card in the spokes.
    My Dad says thanks also. He is busy watching Oprah now because he is still unemployed.
    Mom yelled at him the other day to get his ass off the couch and go find a good job like the one you have.

    Tonight’s OEW Summary:

    “Thus far, this uptrend has rallied 38% from the low at SPX 667. A similar event occurred in 1929, when the initial surge of that Primary B wave rallied 37%. However, that rally occurred over weeks, this one has taken two months. There are some interesting fibonacci relationships with this new count. Minor C = A at SPX 923, and Intermediate C = A at SPX 946. With the OEW 912 pivot being exceeded today the next resistive pivot is at 935. This is in the middle of both fibonacci relationships. The market is now about as overbought as it was during Intermediate wave A on the daily charts. The weekly’s display the most overbought condition since the bear market began. Also there are negative divergences on all lesser timeframes. In other markets, while we have been waiting for Gold to confirm an uptrend it’s companion Silver has already confirmed a new uptrend from its recent mid-April low.”

    “What are the chances the ADP number was way off on the low side?”

    What are the chances that all market movers worth their salt already know this, and don’t care?

    No haterade here. I just wish shorts would learn their lesson so we can just bury this infernal market once and for all. No bears on this site per-say, since a good 1/2 are paper traders without doubt. I direct your attention to a silly little CNN article.

    “The level of short interest, the number of shares sold short but not yet repurchased, for several of the stress-tested banks is higher now than it was before the credit markets collapsed last fall.

    Short interest in Bank of America as of mid-April, for example, is up nearly 50% since mid-September of last year. Short interest is also up sharply during the same time frame for Citigroup, KeyCorp, State Street (STT, Fortune 500) and American Express (AXP, Fortune 500).”

    I promise you, I am not a rocket scientist.

    Fear —

    The most interesting thing about that article is the near unanimity of the bearish comments following it.

    Would you consider those commenters to be retail?

    Moody’s cuts Weyerhaeuser debt to junk

    _________________________________

    This must mean the economy is golden and housing, according to the government is on a great comeback.

    no one needs lumber to build a house, and if the lumber makers are loosing their asses, don’t worry, according to the government, this should not be a problem.

    carry on.

    None of the 19 banks that underwent government stress tests are insolvent and the U.S. financial system is sound.

    http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aMpFF23Aud7o&refer=home

    The banks are all rising after hours and FAS holders are being rewarded handsomely.

    Devildog on the other hand has been sectioned under the mental health act.

    Thats all

    too much cash is way better than a short, but I have to admit to feeling 47 1/2-ish by trading off a wild party adventure in return for sleeping at night.

    still, if Fly says sanity will likely prevail in a few weeks, that’s soon enough… but it’s gonna take an actual catalyst somewhere; otherwise mother market will just keep tossin’ shorts on the barbie – “mmm… this one’s been marinating for 7 weeks now…”

    In other news, a lunatic dressed in his birthday suit was arrested outside Dallas after clocking 150mph in a Dodge Viper. Reports say on being arrested, the driver was yelling incoherently. We did catch a few words – ‘stress test’ ‘FAZ’ ‘$34 Billion’ ‘margin call’ ‘bankruptcy’

    Two things…

    One, I cannot believe you take that long to read something that brief. Startling, actually.

    Two, I don’t think you’re entire life thus far bills to a total of $625, and I’m valuing your humourous (sic) cock-eating excercise at a generous $450.

    Mr. Jake McGint

    Yes 15 minutes. I read that post twice, the 2nd time just to be sure I didn’t miss the punch line. In all, a fairly lame post despite your Perez Hiltonisque ‘Post of the Year’ stamp of approval.

    Interesting to note you value self fallatio at $450. I venture there are many websites that cater to this outlandish fetish. Perhaps a subscription would be in order. Just don’t let Mrs Gint find out. We don’t want any trouble in the Gint household now.

    And please don’t mention my cock ever again. Its creepy in a, Senator Larry Craig entering the bathroom stall next to you, sort of way.
