Check Out My Pipe

Correct me if I am wrong, wasn’t I just talking shit about being wrong, yet right. In an odd twist of fuckery, today I am right, yet wrong, if you know what I mean.

Let this be a lesson (of sorts) to me and people like me: Mother Market doesn’t give a shit about your time machine or ABRACADABRA ways. Just when you think you have it all figured out, BAM, the rug is pulled from your feet and you are beaten to a pulp with a titanium pipe.

The retail numbers were bad; therefore, the market—finally—has an excuse to rip the lips off of the bulls, especially the morons who like penny stocks (no offense to myself of course).

I haven’t figured out a definitive course of action yet. I do have a 35% cash position and a small tolerance for loser stocks. I may just cut losses—go to cash—then proceed to plan a new course of action. Or, I may decide to do nothing—go eat a sandwich—and wait for tomorrow.

Look, the market is permitted to decline by 10%, after a run up. You, as an idiot online guy, need to come to grips with losing money, with full intentions of making it back later. Or, if you are the insecure type, sell now, then do a bunch of stupid trades later.

Either way, the market is going to tax some of your gains. That’s just how this here game works.

    “Pipedream” that penny stocks would go up forever despite the PPT’s sell recommendations on (virtually) all of them and on the market as a whole?

    So far CNBC has spent a bunch of time this AM about INTC and EU.
    Not sure what they said because my sound is turned down.
    But, the market doesn’t care and I am sure INTC isn’t worried about debt laden AMD.
    Check the market reaction with INTC.
    Big yawn.

    It’s a corncob pipe since Fly is now growing corn next to his crop circles.
    Since he can’t grow grass might as well harvest a cash (legal) crop.

    definitely confirmed head&shoulders move downward over the past two weeks in QQQQ, sustained break below 33.80s, and XLF close to their 11.50 support. now we just need us to decline another 150 pts on the dow for the bulls to go fuckit and lock in profits.

    if this is indeed nothing more than a huge bulltrap, it’s going to be mad interesting to see what will happen to commodities & treasuries in the month ahead.

    I am happy at the moment with my PnL up .4+%. I have outsized gains in my HME short, FAZ and QID. DXO is not murder slapping me either. I do not plan on making too many moves today other than buying a little of Fly’s CUZ to hedge my HME short. Why CUZ, cuz I’m a mutha fuckin crip homie, G’s up Ho’s down.

    875 will bounce us back to 900 overhead which could provide an exit point or entry if you have balls. Personally I am kicking that murder hole FTK to the curb since I have enough energy exposure.

    Here’s a nice trend indicator for yaz, so you know when the market flips over (officially)…

    Use a relative slope (of price) crossover on the following market indicator: % of stocks 1 channel below the 40-day MA. This indicator gives the reverse of the trend, so you have to read it backward, but it gives a cleaner signal than % of stocks 1 channel **above**.

    That’s how you know for sure when the trend flips over, within a couple of days of the exact turning point.

    Free gold nuggets for everyone… BTW, this indicator clearly shows we’re in a downtrend for the next few weeks.

    Speaking of cluttering up and bowel movements, it sounds like WTF might not be getting enough fiber in his diet. Or are you just jealous of my gains? What’s up your ass may I ask?
    I can be annoying & certainly when you’re losing money… Are you losing big today WTF?
    You just cant seem to ignore me cause your leaning the wrong way. I’m quite flattered by your attention.

    FUCK YOU!

    Anyone older than 16yrs old who uses Twitter is a fucking tool bag. It is just a TOOL for the sheep to follow the stupid celebrities.

    Twitter is yet another reason why China will soon bitch slap the U.S.

    My YUM is shitting the bed today but I shall hold it and eat a baked potato for I see $36 in the near future.

    To Henry the Metamucil Fool,
    Jealous of your gains? WTF?! What gains? You admitted that you’re down 5%! You really are a fool. Now go eat some Exlax or whatever is needed for you to become regular. When you have something of substance to offer I’ll be all ears, otherwise please leave us all out of your daily gastrointestinal trials and tribulations. Thank you.
