Scared Yet?

Ooh, U.S. employers slashed jobs, sending the unemployment rate up to 9.5%. Are we about to form the ever ominous “W” formation, with regards to the markets and the economy? Stay tuned friendly folks of the internet; we shall find out soon.

If I was to tell you “there was no surprise in today’s weaker than expected jobs numbers,” you’d call me a “market apologist” and “permabull” (an internet favorite), so I will refrain from doing so. What’s important to note today is my face being ripped off by rabid clowns, completely unexpectedly, due to my long bias. For the day, I am “enjoying” steep declines in [[ERX]] , GameStop Corp. [[GME]] , OmniVision Technologies, Inc. [[OVTI]] and Corning Incorporated [[GLW]] —just to name a few. The pendulum of death swings in both directions. Much to my chagrin, it is now stuck in my cranium.

Despite today’s drubbing, I’m not going to throw gasoline on the grill, by shorting stocks here, after a 170 decline. The fact of the matter is, stocks have responded very well to sell offs, in recent months. Therefore, I will tough this one out, like all of the others, unless of course the shadows near my favorite urinal tell me to hedge my positions. Last I checked, the shadows were just sort of standing there, doing nothing.

UPDATE (PPT only): THIRD LARGEST HYBRID DECLINE EVER (statistical data on previous dips of this sort)

    I believe we may get another down day on Monday before screaming higher and ripping the testicles off the bears.

    I was just thinking about the urinal shadows last night. Wondering what they were up to, and all.

    mrkcbill feels more comfortable using a bidet instead of a urinal.

    There’s just too many bulls out there who will be looking at this as a pullback buying opportunity.

    What the fuck are your shadows doing hanging out in the men’s bathroom, no offense to homosexual shadows, of course. Shadows don’t know how to use Craigslist? I mean come on, even Senators know how to do that.

    Stocks were tired, and they took a little nap. Flat Man – you may want to lock in your profits today, the sheep entrails I examined this morning told me to sell my tza at 11% gain and buy URE instead.

    Be careful betting against the fly. It can be done, but doing so should always prompt a conviction check on your position.

    Captain Anarchy, I hear that. However, I think J6P part time trader will come home from work tonight, see the big down day, put in sell at open orders for Monday and, voila, we’ll see a massive gap down at the open. So, I want to get that, then reverse and buy URE.
