Buy the Fear

The little cubs are out in force today, pressing stocks lower to the tune of 1.3%. The little cubs, if I might be so bold, have small paws and dull teeth. I let these little living stuffed animals chew on my arm, out of sympathy, for I know they cannot hurt me. I throw raw pieces of meat around the office, daring the little cubs to come and get them; but they never show.

I declare: the days of fearing the bear are somewhat over, at least temporarily, as the drunken bulls shift their fiat currency from one piece of shit stock to the next. Much to the chagrin of the little cubs, there is nothing they can do to stop the tidal wave of reckless abandon. People are making money in stocks again and it is a dangerous task trying to stop a runaway locomotive.

As for me:

I have monstrous gains in ABK, thanks to Lord Jake and his puppet sock band. My biggest intra-day loser is TWI. But, I am still up following Friday’s melt up. And, my latest foray into RFMD has proven to be an accurate one, thus far.

Bottom line: If you are keen enough to catch the dips, do so, However, just know, the stock Gods have blessed this market, and in my opinion, it is going higher. At the moment, capital is flooding the banking sector, in order to fill egregious secondary offerrings. Once the offerings cease, BAD-BING, up we go.

UPDATE: I sold out of my ABK position, north of $1.88

    I bought more QQQQ’s here…watch how we had a HUGE rally right off a bounce on the 200EMA.

    QQQQ’s was positive near 1% while market was down 1%…interesting divergence;

    I am hedging myself however by buying June 35’s Puts…

    so i herd you liek mudkips

    fuck yeah, fly.

    bears can’t even do a -300 down day to make the bulls believe that the run is over. instead bulls can comfort themselves and say “profit taking!”, while loading up some more to screw the bears. (i will have to admit, the QQQQ breaking below 33.8 did make me watch the market closely for a little bit though)

    this rally is based on the china story, and they’ve got some really important numbers coming out in the next few days on the chinese consumer. looks like we may be in a holding pattern for that? if the numbers are good, we may follow the HSI and start recovering the sept/oct lehman breakdown, and then the bears will be really screwed. if the numbers look shitty, i’m prepared to unload everything at the drop of a hat irrespective of what QQQQ tells me.

    one thing i’m not sure about is how the treasuries market action is playing out, it’s seriously confusing me.

    Mike, I think the Cubes are playing crystal ball here, a couple of days ahead of everyone else, as it should be.

    My three SONS looks like it’s getting ready to smack their Uncle Charlie — an acknowledged bearshitter and paedophile (sic).

    Is that Bada bing or just “bad bing”?

    I’m wondering if you’re getting the Sopranos mood right here for the little cubs as they may not understand the terminology and then fall into Dante’s (inferno) 9th circle of hell which is where the treasonous and the falsifiers end up.

    ———

    Actually when I think about it the little cubs could end up in nearly all the circles of hell and damnation

    Here’s the list.

    VESTIBULEàNeutrals and Opportunists, indecisive, no real beliefs, those who don’t choose sides
    bullet CIRCLE #1–LIMBOà Virtuous Pagans and Unbaptized Babies
    bullet CIRCLE #2à Carnal and Lustful
    bullet CIRCLE #3à Gluttons
    bullet CIRCLE #4à Hoarders and Wasters
    bullet CIRCLE #5à Wrathful and Sullen or Slothful

    bullet CIRCLE #6à Heretics
    bullet CIRCLE #7.1à Violence Against Neighbors
    bullet CIRCLE #7.2à Violence Against Oneself (Forest of the Suicides)
    bullet CIRCLE #7.3.1à Violence Against God
    bullet CIRCLE #7.3.2à Violence Against Nature (Homosexuals)
    bullet CIRCLE #7.3.3à Violence Against Art (Users)
    bullet MALABOLGIA
    bullet CIRCLE #8.1à Pimps, Panderers, and Seducers
    bullet CIRCLE #8.2à Flatterers
    bullet CIRCLE #8.3à Simonists (Users if the Church)
    bullet CIRCLE #8.4à Fortunetellers and Soothsayers
    bullet CIRCLE #8.5à Grafters
    bullet CIRCLE #8.6à Hypocrites
    bullet CIRCLE #8.7à Thieves
    bullet CIRCLE #8.8à Evil Counselors and Deceivers
    bullet CIRCLE #8.9à Sowers of Discord/Scandal/Schism
    bullet CIRCLE #8.10à Falsifiers

    bullet CIRCLE #9.1–CAINAà Treacherous to Kindred
    bullet CIRCLE #9.2–ANTENORAà Treacherous to Country or Political Party
    bullet CIRCLE #9.3–TOLOMEAàTreacherous to Guests
    bullet CIRCLE #9.4–JUDECCAàTreacherous to Lords or Superiors
    bullet LOWEST LEVEL OF HELLàThe worst of those who betrayed their benefactors

    There’s even a place in the 10th circle for those that have betrayed the fly by going short.

    think about that fellas.

    Space shuttle launch @ 2:01.
    Gonna stick my head out the door to watch it as it breaks above the horizon.
    Pretty much no clouds so it should be a good one.
