Empire of Dirt

I took egregious profits (15-20%) in both RFMD and FSYS this morning. At current levels, my cash position is north of 20% or more money than you can fathom.

What am I really doing here? I am shoveling shit back and forth, creating nothing, simply taking dust and building mountains with it. I am dealing with the rubble of an empire in ruin and profiting from it. Fuck it, someone has to do it so it might as well be me.

I am not feeling today’s tape. It has a certain feel of “Dykstra” to it. But, at the same time, I respect the rally enough to forgo any short selling expeditions. My strategy is to raise cash and buy dirt at a discount.

Some of my go-to names are GLW, OVTI, STAR, FTK, GME and ATHR. Additionally, I will buy energy names on this fucked up drop, starting with ERX, then ARD and SU.

    Fly, you are a cow in the cowherd. I can’t believe you think we will have a V shaped recovery. You truly are an idiot.

    Fly, you are a dumb ass. You’re also full of bullshit. I suggest you go take a dump to clear your head.

    Establishment cheerleader Bill Gross in his June 2009 IO just said:

    “Holders of dollars should diversify their own baskets before central banks and sovereign wealth funds ultimately do the same.”

    Everyone thinks we’re in a new bull market, which is exactly why we’re not in a new bull market.

    The masses are eagerly waiting to buy the dips of this “healthy” pull back, until it turns into egregious profit taking, then outright selling.

    The 200dma fakeout will not take.

    Chilling article. Al-Qaeda wants to smuggle anthrax into U.S. No planes. No planning. No conspiracy required. Just sprinkle 4 pounds on the White House lawn and kill 330,000 people.

    I’m so glad we’ve decided dunking their heads underwater is a bad thing.

    To Fly,

    Have you considered a persistent profit taking move ?.
    I mean, who ever is chasing the uptrend today buying at the dip could get burn fast.
    Commodities are way ahead of themselves, and the real market conditions have not improved that much, and tomorrow the worst fear could crystallize in the market again with more people without jobs.
    Bottom line, the last move to 950 (S&P) looks to me like suckers money, go ahead and chase it. I just don’t buy it.

    Dr. Woodshedder,

    Today was a pretty much an expected day no? Aren’t we suppose to be bouncing around back and forth between the 200EMA like the QQQQ’s did?

    200EMA is a 923 for SP500

    Wing-nuts like Great American Patriot have got to be the biggest set of unprincipled pussies on the planet. Everytime they read “scary” articles about anthrax and what not, they throw their whole value system out the window. All of a sudden these assholes are condoning torture on TV because we’re getting a taste of what we dish out as a country……maybe next we can debate slavery or women’s sufferage? Wing nuts are such pussies…..l2manup

    I’m not sure what we are supposed to be doing, but I sure hope my model has me cover my SPY short before we bounce from the 200 day.

    This is the reason to fallow prices first and forget about what you think. Take money managers like asset allocation.
    Most money managers are stupid fucks but if you have more money than the rest of the players it makes the stupid smart! Don’t ever forget that this is an Auction and fools with big money can rule at times. Sector rotation 101.
