CORRECTION: Bill Miller Made 48% in Q2

Fuck off and find the news story yourself. What do I look like, some sort of news fetcher?

I am making a point here, people from the internets.

If Bill Miller, retarded money manager from Legg Mason, can bounce back to the tune of 48% in Q2, so can anyone, even armless chimps. I know many of you are down and feel like shooting yourselves in the face with an old howitzers. However, you must keep faith and remember, if Bill Miller and his palsy brain (famous for doubling down in Freddie Mac common just prior to its demise) can boss up to the tune of 48%, penguins can pick up guns and shoot walking pigs and you too can regain all of your lost coin or get your share of the BILLIONS being made on the internet, either or.

You’re welcome for the late night pick-me-up.

    Let’s see, he loses 60%+ last year…

    For fun, lets say he started with 100 bucks, and now has 40.

    He uses the 40 he has left and he gains 48%.

    So now he has roughly 60 bucks.

    Bill Miller is still down 40% from his high. That is one helluva a high water mark!

      It’s worse than that, he’s dead Jim.
      ok – not quite. But…

      48% is 2nd qtr only.
      Looks like 26% ytd – still damn good w/SPX holduhs in the red.

      Consider the terms: Lynch, Miller, genius, quitter, loser, hero, image.

    couple late night things….

    Citigroup on:

    Semi’s: 2Q09 upside is already factored into shares, But:
    Most likely still to beat 2Q09: INTC, IDTI, ALTR, NVDA, CY.
    we see modest upside to 3Q09 consensus estimates off higher 2Q results… However, its effect is unlikely to break stocks out of their trading range, given the noticeable earnings momentum already
    evident across the group. Most likely still to raise 3Q09: AMD, NVDA, IDTI, INTC.
    ..we reiterate our view that chip industry revenue forecasts have upside for
    the next 1-3 years, leaving us LT positive on the sector. ..we anticipate a shift away from the “beta”
    trade, toward higher quality names. Top ideas: NVDA, QCOM, INTC.

    CTSH:Target price change, Estimate change, Re-iterate strong call, –reits Buy, raises target to $34

    CME: Remains our top pick. CME is the exchange most leveraged
    to a financial/capital mkts recovery and should benefit from higher volumes.
    We would use any weakness in the stock around softer summer volumes or ELX
    to build long positions. Target $375

    AA: Maintaining Buy/ High Risk rating. In addition, we see the company undervalued relative to its longer-term sustainable earnings power of $1.13/sh. When Alcoa reports earnings after market close on Wednesday,
    we expect the company to post a loss of $0.36/sh compared to the consensus loss estimate of $0.37/sh. Sequentially, losses should narrow compared to the loss of $0.59/sh in 1Q.

    UBS upgrades CTL to Buy, Reits Buy on PCS, says pullback is overdone…

    Also proof that you can bounce back from an investment disaster,
    but not necessarily from a plastic surgery disaster.

    Fly,

    I dont know what you’re talking about but Miller’s Legg Mason Value Trust is up about 10% this year and 48% from its bottom in March.

    You must be looking at his second quarter numbers or something. Miller is a high beta retard. Nothing more.

    You must be referring to his opp fund. This piece of crap fund is down 70% from its peak and off 55% over the last 5 years. Granted, its up 26% this year (not 48), but he still sucks a huge cock.

    Even a dried up turd bounces when it falls off a cliff….

    Has he really bounced back or is it a numerical illusion?

    Assume he’s long at 14,000. He loses 52% of that, which leaves him with 6,700. He makes 48% and that takes him to 9,900. he’s still down 30% from the highs. In short Bill Miller is still an asshat… However that was never in dispute judging from Fly’s excellent commentary, who’s really suggesting that if an idiot like Miller can still make money so can pretty much everyone else with the possible exception of Devildog.

    RE:” Obama is gay fucking goat herder…he should be working in a field in southern Afghanistan…fucking shitweasel socialist…Joe Biden is 95% martini, 5 BS.”

    Obamanodyne: doing all the same things the last administration did, but getting shit for it from both sides. Does that mean the Dems and the Reps are essentially just one party? If so: ‘one-party state”, now where have I heard of that before?

    America: Socialism for the wealthy. Hell, it seems to me if Obama was an real, bonifide ‘Socialist’ instead of merely a corporate schill, like 99.999999% of all the politicians in your polyarchy, y’ all might be better off.

    some technical trading notes out there, take ’em for what their worth, thought i’d post ’em:

    Technical Analysis story about GOOG: Bearish pattern in progress:
    There is an active bearish, inverted, cup and handle pattern on the daily chart. The $400 area is the first downside objective for the pattern. On a breakdown below the $400 area, the next downside objective for the pattern would be to the $370 area. Support levels to watch as potential downside objectives are at $399.82, $392.74, $386.00, $378.12, $372.36. Resistance is at $403.01.

    Goldman Sachs: Bearish pattern in progress
    There is a double top in progress on the daily chart at the $150 area. First downside is to the $137 area. A move back above $150 would void the pattern. Support levels to watch as potential downside objectives are at $144.50, $141.56, $138.97, $136.79. Resistance is at $147.37. The stock is the fourth largest component by weight in the Financial Select Sector (XLF).

    Stocks are down and the dollar is only very marginally stronger from Asian and Euro trading. Also the Yen has hardly budged and the Euro/Yen is a little higher than yesterday.

    So correlation isn’t 1:1 at least for the day. 🙂

    If Bill Miller made 48% in Q2 then I would be betting against him in Q3. He’s long what ? A bunch of financial stocks. Time to short FAS to zero.

    BEHOLD. Market breaking down here. S&P 875 the all important level. Once we break below its off to the races for the bears.

    TOP REASONS TO LIVE IN ALBERTA (That’s in Canada, for all you ‘mericuns)
    1. Big rock between you and B.C.
    2. Ottawa who?
    3. Tax is 5% instead of the approximately 200% it is for the rest of the country.
    4. You can exploit almost any natural resource you can think of.
    5. You live in the only province that could actually afford to be its own country.
    6. The Americans below you are all in anti-government militia groups.
    7. Alberta advantage: “gasoline’ is more expensive then anywhere else.

    Let’s face it: Canadians are a rare breed.
