We’re Doomed

That’s it folks. We had a chance to take the initiative, but blew it. Blowing today’s opportunity is equal to not asking out that girl you liked in High School. Hell, you could have married her and had kids—lots of them. Instead, you’re just some schmuck watching the computer box, filling out eharmony questionnaires. Now we get to feel the wrath of assholes who profess a “15% correction is necessary.” It’s as good as done.

Following yesterday’s thumping, it was imperative for the market to punch higher today. Yet, at the end of the day, all we got was milquetoast.

Fuck green shoots and fuck all of the inventory corrections. The market has failed and will now resume getting APE RAPED, until old crickety men, like Warren Buffett, rescue the markets, via one-sided financing deals.

Oh well, it was nice playing pin the tail on the bearshitter. Now get ready for fire and black smoke.

    Why do I get the feeling you’re just trying to lure some bears in to be squeezed?

    The dollar fell out of bed today and there’s a good chance the Fed wants to talk nice about the economy. Keep the momentum going.

    If they can talk the dollar down some more, we could have a weak dollar / reflation recovery tomorrow.

    We shall see…

    It then tanked that AM and kept going down until they got lucky and were named to the DJIA.

    Here is an interesting listing of the 25 most dangerous neighborhoods in the USA.
    Not sure how accurate it is since only one neighborhood was named in NYC and FLY/Jake could probably rattle at least half a dozen in NYC.
    And nothing in LA?

    The #4 top worst (Baltimore, 21213): There’s only about 1-2 occupied properties on each block. Everything else is vacant and boarded up. I bought properties for $1,000-3,000 over there a few years ago.

    ok, let me list all the negatives and you bulls list your positives:
    – bad housing, no end in sight yet
    – bad employment, no end in sight yet
    – obvious market manipulation few minutes before the close just to bring it few points higher
    – low trading volume last several days/weeks
    – market going nowhere last several weeks
    – market rejected at 950 3 or 4 times in a row, that level being a significant tech level
    – large bond issuance volume coming every week and competing for cash with stocks
    – big big (3%) down day yesterday by all the major averages
    – low VIX levels
    – lots of green shoots talk
    – lots of talk of money on the sideline itching to enter
    Now bulls your turn…

    I’d love to see how they came up with those neighborhoods. Who knew there was anything dangerous in Orlando?

    I mean, what? Donald Duck on crack with a Saturday Night Special? Break-ins by Chip & Dale?

    Any list that leaves out East New York and Bed Stuy (both Crooklyn) is amateur hour, ovah heah.

    And since gentrification came through, there are parts of Staten Island more dangerous than 125th Street and Nicholas.

    Thanks for the link, Trader. I’m surprised to see a neighborhood in Cinci, as #1. Chances of becomming a victim in that area in a year, 1 in 4. Yikes!

    My town, Savannah, wasn’t listed, but if anyone comes here for a vacation, you need to stay in the tourist areas. It’s pretty bad in some of the gang controlled neighborhoods.

    My husband accidently drove into one and ended up in the middle of a shoot out, between the cops and some gang members. He was at a stop light and got boxed in, first he hit the floor of his pickup and then decided to try and get the heck out of there, so drove up onto the sidewalk and got out of there like a bat out of hell.

    He used to be a truck driver, and is a biker, used to some pretty tough stuff, but said he was absolutely rattled to the core.

    CA, You have a lot of guts even going in and looking at property there, from the sounds of it.

    re: dangerous neighborhoods

    Kansas City and Dallas being featured near the top was kind of surprising. Shocked that California neighborhoods were not featured anywhere. Compton anyone ? There cannot be a more dangerous place than Compton. Its so dangerous there they probably don’t have any stats because crimes go unreported and the police are too scared to go out there. There is a violent crime being committed in Compton every second of the day.

    Domestic equity mutual funds are about 2-3 weeks shy of breaking even for 2009 after Joe SixPack drewdown about 42 billion from the 3rd week of January thru March 9th. Joe also pulled about 20 Bln out of foreign equities. Joe has been pulling money back out of money market mutuals (gov/non-gov/tax free) since the 9th of March to fund a rate of inflow to domestic (and foreign) equity at the rate of about 5 Bln/week. This inflow has been nearly linear since 3/9.

    Does anyone actually think the MMs will allow Joe to get freaked out again? Flat is good enough for Joe.

    Would somebody explain to me how “window dressing” works? When ever I look at my mutual fund statements I am only interested in performance during the period, not what the holding are at the end of the period. How does buying strong stocks at the end of a quarter help your performance for that quarter?

    Wannano —

    Window dressing hurts your gains, not enhances them. Fund managers swap the quarter’s losers in the fund portfolio with quarter winners they did not invest in. This makes your statement look better because all the stocks in the fund (that are now in the fund) went up. What you don’t know is that your account has been losing money despite that your statement shows the fund went up. Now, how could that be? Hmmmm.

  50. When most of you and the dumb masses wake up to what’s been printed for DECADES about the Bilderberg Club and the CFR, then the economy might stand a fighting chance. Until then, the methodical destruction of the USA is underway, to lay the ground for a new structure — regional govt in the form the NAU (north american union), which will be ruled under the UN.

    Not rocket science boyz. Get with the program already. You know how many intelligent people have written detailed book about this agenda? And you know how much has been spent on disinformation programs designed to make you believe this is just a “conspiracy theory”? And see how well it has worked?

    Just saw a television commercial for an auction, next month, for brand new condos in Seattle. I’ve never seen a t.v. commercial for something like this before. Anyone else see anything like this where you are?

    I checked the website for the properties (below) and I know this area. About two blocks from the Seattle Center (a nice urban park space with the Space Needle) and a decent area, but I wouldn’t want to live their. It is on Mercer Street, which becomes a slow-crawl parking lot for a few hours each day at rush hour. There is a super market on the first floor of this property, which I’ve been to and I would guess opened for business sometime in the last 12 months. So that probably means the properties have been on the market/completed for at least the same time period. Looks like the minimum bids are 40% off from what they are “valued” at by the management company.

Obama is so dumb that he doesn’t even know the purpose of government which is not wasting money on crap like “Americorps” and giving grants to his personal political action brown shirt army, “Acorn”. Obama hates reform like the consumption tax because it takes away government power. Obama does not know the words, “cut government spending”. Obama is a community activist and a moron, that’s all.
