Dilutive, Heart Wrenching, Secondaries Are Bullish for Stocks

BAC is raising 13 fucking billion dollars. Do you know the balls it takes to do that kind of secondary, at these depressed levels? You need to stop looking at these capital raises, as you might have two years ago. The fact that they are able to raise PRIVATE CAPITAL speaks volumes.

The capital raises are saving the franchises.

The banks are taking their medicine and will be rewarded for it later. Personally, I have no interest in playing the banks, out of pure principal. But, I do not suggest being short.

In the event the economy turns the worm for the better this summer, your short only book will resemble the impact center of Nagasaki, circa 1945.

    my opinion is that the MMs knew that if market tanked before these offerings were to happen we may have a very low recovery which would not be good

    The irrepressible Denninger re: BAC secondary dumpage on sheep investors by wolves at the top of the investment ponzi scheme/scam food chain @ GS etal.

    http://market-ticker.denninger.net/archives/1051-WHERE-ARE-THE-DAMN-COPS-BAC.html

    From this chart it is clear that “someone” (or a handful of someones) knew of this offering before the market closed.

    The volume that started showing up at 2:00 PM – to the downside – was VERY significant and the selling picked up bigtime going into the bell.

    This sort of information leak and trading on it before it is disclosed is illegal.

  21. The Japanese GDP has decreased nearly 30% in the last 2 qtrs. and Howard Davidowitz says the increase of the USA federal debt to 14 trillion or approximately our GDP will result in a Japan style malaise. Obama is bailing out the UAW by giving them GM and Chrysler – reminds me of the UK and their former auto industry. That SOB Obama says the USA is using 25% of the world’s resources with just 5 % of the population. Obama should move to Cuba where he will be happy – one of the lower per capita energy use places.

    dave –

    PBGC may be underfunded right now, but it’s not in danger of a catastrophic event as the article suggests. the unions made darn sure that the chrysler pensions were funded without PBGC. we can expect the same for GM. the unions have a vice grip on this administration, and it’s clear that their demands go above those of senior secured debt holders, for example. a damn shame, of course, but it’s the way things are right now.

    I am long 5100 shares of BAC at 10.70. For me this is a very big position since its my personal money. I am starting to get very very bullish at this point but will hold my QID and SRS positions since they are fairly new. I don’t think there is much to say really about the banks, they are screaming buys here. If diluting the fuck out of a name does not cause it to go down nothing will. I mean fuck even GM was up today after pretty much announcing they are going bankrupt. I guess bankrupt shares are worth something these days. Commercial Realestate Bonds are getting bid up like a hooker with all her teeth, I am talking they are going from 8% and 9% yields to fucking 1% and shit, that’s confidence and this paper is horribly rated. Its amazing the confidence all of these names are exuding. Now I don’t pretend to know what will happen but I know I am done fighting the tape and will buy hand over fist in the banks, they have some sort of government put which is keeping them elevated. Off to beg and get in line to open a bank account at the shittiest bank around, all the good ones are not accepting new business since they have too much already.

    I don’t think the stock price signal is bullish or anything like that. I just think all this shit has been baked into the price.

    I’ve been looking to get long on banks for the long run. Currently I am decided between WFC, BAC and MS – but I think I’m leaning towards MS. They took a ton of write offs Q1, got all their shit out there and off their books all at once instead of letting it bleed out each quarter. I’m looking to get long MS under $30

    I’ve been watching them, yea they took a hit, however it may look like they have imperiled their earning power. They’re a fucking I-bank for fucksake and didn’t take much risk last quater because they have tamed that side of the business down hoping to make money on customer spread. Won’t work as that line in low margin shit.

    they need to get back into risk taking or they’re fucked. their short term, market related risk is too low. GS ate them for breakfast last quarter.

    Fly, like “private equity” has a fucking choice. If these secondaries aren’t supported, most of wall street will not be getting bonuses, again, due to the collapse of the banks. In fact, if these secondaries aren’t supported, wall street risks having Obama come after them with threats of IRS investigations and SEC subpoenas, or worse, an angry mob of pitchforkers.

    There is no choice but for GS, BAC, JMP, et. al. to support each other as if one goes down, they all will.

    It is all a big shell game, financed by the American taxpayer, and it shows that we are still very close to the cliff’s edge.

    Agreed upon all, Senor Fly.

    But I have to speculate if maybe both DOW 10k and Devildog’s “new lows July” could not play out, in this market…
    This a whole new beast, to some extent.. it’s more like the European markets than any former American one… much more shady gov’t activity and more volatile…
    And considering this rally will likely melt down much faster… I just wonder if both 1100 and 600 are potential targets before year’s end. We all must agree that the year has been a wild ride thus far.
    Just idle speculation

    Fly, I understand, re: cheap money, and you are probably right.

    However, there is lots of data that shows that the sectors with the highest short interest, the sectors with the highest beta, the sectors with the poorest quality stocks, were the ones that rallied the most.

    High short interest, high beta, and poor quality stocks rallying is a short squeeze.

    I have not seen data showing a broad asset allocation, but if it was, I would bet it was spread among the crappiest of stocks.

    Leaked Bilderberg meeting topics…

    http://www.prisonplanet.com/leaked-agenda-bilderberg-group-plans-economic-depression.html

    ——

    According to Estulin’s sources, which have been proven highly accurate in the past, Bilderberg is divided on whether to put into motion, “Either a prolonged, agonizing depression that dooms the world to decades of stagnation, decline and poverty … or an intense-but-shorter depression that paves the way for a new sustainable economic world order, with less sovereignty but more efficiency.”

    The information takes on added weight when one considers the fact that Estulin’s previous economic forecasts, which were based on leaks from the same sources, have proven deadly accurate. Estulin correctly predicted the housing crash and the 2008 financial meltdown as a result of what his sources inside Bilderberg told him the elite were planning based on what was said at their 2006 meeting in Canada and the 2007 conference in Turkey.

    Details of the economic agenda were contained in a pre-meeting booklet being handed out to Bilderberg members. On a more specific note, Estulin warns that Bilderberg are fostering a false picture of economic recovery, suckering investors into ploughing their money back into the stock market again only to later unleash another massive downturn which will create “massive losses and searing financial pain in the months ahead,” according to a Canada Free Press report.

    According to Estulin, Bilderberg is assuming that U.S. unemployment figures will reach around 14% by the end of the year, almost doubling the current official figure of 8.1 per cent.

    —-

    According to Estulin’s sources, here are a few of the talking points and concerns for this year’s meeting:

    The future of the US dollar and US economy: The plan is for the Bilderberg Group players, through their allies in Washington and Wall Street to continue to deceive millions of savers and investors who believe the hype about the supposed up-turn in the economy. They are about to be set up for massive losses and searing financial pain in the months ahead. The bank “stress tests” now being conducted by Washington are little more than a shameless hoax: Based on the irrational assumption that the economy won’t get as bad as it already is!
    US unemployment: Solutions and assumptions (Stated as such in the pre-meeting booklet sent out to attendees.)
    Bilderberg is quietly assuming that US unemployment numbers will hover around 14% by the end of this year, far higher than the official numbers released by the US government.
    Depression or a prolonged stagnation? (Stated as such in the pre-meeting booklet sent out to attendees.) Bilderberg is looking at two options: Either a prolonged, agonizing depression that dooms the world to decades of stagnation, decline, and poverty … or an intense-but-shorter depression that paves the way for a new sustainable economic world order, with less sovereignty but more efficiency.
    There will be a final push for the enactment of Lisbon Treaty, pending on Irish voting YES on the treaty in Sept or October. One of their concerns is addressing and neutralizing the anti-Lisbon treaty movement called “Libertas” led by Declan Ganley. One of the Bilderberger planned moves is to use a whispering campaign in the US media suggested that Ganley is being funded by arms dealers in the US linked to the US military.

Fly’s ambivalance towards what is the world’s greatest crime on humanity, just so he can make a buck, is a perfect depiction of why we face the consequences that are coming sooner than anyone realizes.

    However, there is lots of data that shows that the sectors with the highest short interest, the sectors with the highest beta, the sectors with the poorest quality stocks, were the ones that rallied the most.

    High short interest, high beta, and poor quality stocks rallying is a short squeeze.

    I have not seen data showing a broad asset allocation, but if it was, I would bet it was spread among the crappiest of stocks.

    Shed, why does that surprise you though. the stocks that had the end-of-times-play rallied hard as people scrambled realizing the second coming could still be a long ways off.

    Macke took it up the ass Monday morning when he held SKF and SDS over the weekend. He hasnt been right since then. I have read his ramblings on Minyanville.I fully believe it is some type of minor breakdown {red bull coffee} more so than coke . Who in their right mind could go on tv and sound bullish every night. Macke is on the way of Dylan Rattigan.Outing GS on national tv ,his days are numbered . He is the only one except Art Cashion to watch on CNBC. Did anyone see Art Cashion on Monday say that most of the buying was comming from one overseas account…priceless.I agree with FLY trade price not what you know

    BRCM is consolidating below a horizontal S/R line that goes back to 2005. If it can get above and hold 22.80, a run to 30 is likely. A failure at this line and it is a short.

    Good old GLW.. I rode that stock from 8 to 21 a few years back. Good times.. Looks like there is a lot of supply around the 15/15.50 area on it right now. It might take a few days to work throught it. Above 16 it rolls to 20.

    Macke makes sense, I mean look at GM. The shit is bankrupt. I know a shitload of people there and its done for yet Fritz comes out and says shit is good. Go back to GME Fritz and deal with the Europeans. Yet here we have people bidding up GM like mad. Don’t fucking tell me those are arbs either, I know one of the biggest GM arbs and he said it isn’t true. Seriously the shit is all one big charade right now. People don’t understand what is going on at all. Look suppliers are GM are going to get pap smeared soon. They have deep credit lines that will be wiped out hard. You guys don’t know how deep they run. I am talking granddaddy roots. You are going to see a massive aftershock when it happens, at first it will be a trickle until people realize how deeply it runs. But keep hitting the bid, you know a bankrupt share is backed by the government now, you can trade it in to the government for a free car, just call Obama he will take away your worries.

    Not kidding about the bullish signs for Aussie and Canada. If the Fed keeps low rates throughout next year as it looks increasingly likely, the Japanese and the Euro have QE, these two (Aussie and Cad) currencies could literally fly as people look for safer waters diversifying away from the US. Even New Zealand will w=do well and be part of this group… Well of course New Zealand will do better than the rest seeing my former trading assistant and Ex FX trader is now the Prime Minister. It’s like Fly’s Vincenzo becoming Prez.

    These higher moves in these two currencies are indicating that global liquidity is making a come back fast. Don’t be short stocks.

    By the way I wanted to add some comments that I learned on my tech discussion yesterday with the biggest IT reseller in the business.

    “Sales are very slow but did uptick some in the past 6 weeks. People are soon going to be buying about 3/4 of the servers they used to buy because of the ability of the new Nehalem processor which will allow 8 to 12 cores per die. We expect July to be the hottest time for sales but people are very nervous right now. IBM should be a big beneficiary of the move to virtualized infrastructure with EMC SANs. People are looking to downsize their foot print with new more efficient servers. We expect volume to decrease but margins to increase with this move. But overall the quotas are not being met at all around here.”

    Nehalem is Intel’s new proc by the way.
