Stuck in the Funnel

Let’s just burn it all down, shall we? The Nasdaq strength will not be able to negate the absolute fuckery taking place in the broader markets. Thanks to a variety of issues, the market is knifing lower. Some people say it’s due to “dollar strength” or “Bernanke is going to jail soon” sentiment. However, I am in the camp that believes Joe Terranova has jinxed the market for good.

All of the bullish commentary, coming from Joe, has resulted in great disdain for equities, sending stocks down the sewer pipe into large vats of feces.

We’re doomed again, gentlemen. Today’s early optimism has morphed into an outright “fuck you, you’re dead” rout. I was wrong for siding with the mentally ill, believing in a never ending rally, due to “green shoots” and golden shit.

Unfortunately, I must deal with the consequences of my stupidity, via capital losses. Just so you know, I’ve gone “suicide Joe” on this market, not giving a fuck about intra-day warning shots. I am hell-bent on seeing my positions trade higher and refuse to concede to the obvious signs of pending doom. For those with greater flexibility, you might want to heed my warnings, prior to entering new positions.

    Most disturbing action indeed for those of us who are “mentally ill” and overly long.

    Fly, glad to be on the same page. Next one week if bulls don’t get their act together with the excuse of quarter dressing, then that would be another nail in an already plentily nailed coffin. If Fed or GS desks don’t intervene, we are heading for abyss in the final hour.

    Yeah, Joe T. looks like a nervous virgin in a maximum security facility in Columbia. He must have went long a ton after his bold BTU long call and has been begging and pluggin his long side ever since.

    thanks for nothing Joe!

    I can’t sell short any more than I am here and I don’t feel like selling my longs since most are rocketing today. I think I will sit here with my faz, qid and srs coupled with my sonc, aib, drys, gme, wprt, ung, dxo and some others. If I was to go short something I would lean on CMG or CAKE.

    Fly, You are giving me whiplash the last few days. Thanks, it has been hilarious to keep up with your change in moods. I think if I could figure out how to do a moving average of your daily/hourly mood, we just might have a solid indicator for the market. Just not sure yet if it would be a direct or contrarian indicator. I’ll have to work on that indicator and get back to ya.

    This market is making me crazy. Up, down, up, down, up. I feel like a bunny with a carrot dangling in front of me, only every time I get a nibble the damn thing gets snapped away from me. How many nibbles does it take to eat a whole carrot anyway? Was up 5.5% at one point today. Now a mere 2.6%.

    So, I’ve decided to hijack the Fly’s dynamite car and drive it full speed into the sun. My balls told my brain to move my finger and click the mouse. My brain protested, but was overwhelmed. Sold 2000 DNDN (a portion) at $24.26 and bought 13,191 more AZK between $3.65 and $3.69. That bastard was at $3.97 at one point today before the Fly jinxed it. Now have north of 35,000 shares.

    Kids, don’t try this at home, and never without a crash helmet. This could end messy.

    @Outdoorsman: I didn’t hedge either today, just sat there watching the carrot being jinked feebly back up to 900, waiting for a WTF-pattern that never happened.

    (Betrayed by my baser reflexes again. When will I ever learn? It was a carrot that lured me onto Wall Street in the first place. Why do I love carrots anyway? There isn’t much meat on them. They’re kinda dry, too… but I love ’em! I love ’em! I love ’em! I love ’em! LUNCHTIME!)

    Now that their Casa Berardi mine is rehabbed, in production, and cranking out the gold bars, AZK has significant cash flow. They were on track to extinguish all mine development debt in the near term, and the substantial money they raised in their recent equity offering makes that a given. They have very experienced management, good prospective exploration properties, and are operating in Canada (a safe and resource development friendly place). My take is that, in addition to aggressively pursuing organic growth, that they are positioning themselves to buy a weakened development stage miner. I should do excellent with this company as long as the floor doesn’t collapse on the price of gold. One of the majors might even swallow them up.

    DNDN was good to me this year, but will probably bump around here for the next few months. My only fear is that they will announce a US partnership for Provenge before I manage to get back in. Still holding a lot of shares.

    Furious. Livid. What an outrageous charge.

    Did Rep. Daryl Issa (R., Calif.) have any idea what can happen to business when he makes such charges, charges that every one of my sources believes to be totally untrue? This is what passes as the right thing to do? This is the Federal Reserve for heaven’s sake.

    You can’t just accuse a Fed chairman of a shakedown. You don’t just go on TV and make a charge. Does he have any idea about how hard Ben Bernanke has worked? And he throws a bomb on this?

    Heck, you want to look into something, look into how wrong everyone was about Lehman and how the law would have let them save it without a problem. Look into the TARP bait and switch. Look into how AIG (AIG) turned into what looks to be a criminal enterprise.

    But to look into Bernanke allegedly pressuring a CEO into doing something he wanted to do — buy Merrill Lynch?

    A totally outrageous charge.

    I am sick to my stomach about this, just sick about it. We should all be sick about this. How can Bernanke clear his name now? What can he do? How can this be turned back?

    I can’t think of a way.

    When I first heard the charge, I thought it laughable given the circumstances.

    Now I want to cry.

    The one guy — the one guy who has saved us.

    Thanks Daryl; thanks for nothing.

    At the time of publication, Cramer had no positions in the stocks mentioned.

    Read what you said earlier today. You suggested people/you should become more NASDAC focused. We took your advice 🙂 and now your telling us to go back to being Dow focused again.

    Make up your mind here willya. The NASDAC actually did okish today, dude.

    Notes from the day “We have too much democracy” -Jim Cramer & and oil will go to $65 if we keep saying it will. The only thing that saved the bears is a small pop in the dollar.

    Too bad earning just aren’t going to be bad enough for the bears to get that super pullback they want.

    we are officially in a “no wind” zone of the ocean. we will sit here floating around eating salted cod and crackers waiting for a wind coming from any direction to get our sails back up and move us “somewhere” but which way no one knows…… and no one knows when a wind will come.

    we could go up from here or it could be all over for awhile and we drizzle down, down down, little bits at a time until you realize that 15.00 dollar stock you bought long is back to 6.00….o-shit….. then 5.00, then 3.00.

    the only difference is going to be next time there will be no bounce back….. what we just experienced was a great unstoppable market that went from 5000 to 14000 in no time….on the way down the first time people across the country who all had jobs started to see the first lay-offs….now, this second time we already have faced 10 million lay-offs and if we tank again, the lay-offs will be double that. see, if the market goes back to 7500 or 6500 like people are predicting then this second drop will be far worse than the first time. small companies are already at the edge, any less business will put them over the edge. I just had supper in a Mexican restaurant up town and it is in a brand new strip center built around 2006 that is very nice and all stucco and it contained 5 seperate sections for 5 different businesses. It was fully occupied, now, tonight, all is gone but the mexican joint, empty, “space available” signs. weird…..
