The “new economy” is well on its way to replace the old bullshit one. No longer do we need asshole brick and mortar companies. To live free, all we need is a good LCD teevee and a fucking smartphone.

Aside from the face punching I received in my Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [[AMD]] gamble, I had a blissful day, with gains in just about everything, sans the bitch of a whore Flotek Industries, Inc. [[FTK]] .

Much to my surprise, numbers out of homebuilder, NVR, Inc. [[NVR]] were amazing. Can it be? Dare I say it?

I will not!

At any rate, while EVERY Tom, Dick and Harry waits for a market pullback, I continue to put my balls on the guillotine, via a large technology weighting. It’s amazing, frankly, no matter how well the market performs, some people ALWAYS highlight the negatives. These idiots always tell tales of “resistance,” whether it be on a 200 day, 50 day or 10 minute moving average basis. It’s easy to find and accentuate the negatives, masked through “technical analysis,” but hard to stick to a thesis with discipline and passion.The reality: people who use technical analysis are simply using a so-called “scientific method” to express their market bias. As a result, no two technicians interpret the market the same.

The purpose of my daily bashing of chart chompers is not to embarrass or belittle anyone, but to raise awareness to another form of investing, that entails the use of your fucking brain. Don’t become a lazy worshiper of idols and false profits. Investing is not about following the herd in and out of trades, but, instead, thinking independently using a thesis or a gameplan.

For now, my bias will remain to the upside, until the mood changes or the shadows near my favorite urinal tell me to sell.

NOTE: For the first time in internet history, “The Fly” accepted an online interview. Check it out.

    Le Fly,

    How many of these “LCD teevee and a fucking smartphone” are manufactured in the US.

    How much employment will come from these “new” technologies of the future.

    We need more than that my fine friend, it’s a good start but the “new” economy will need lots of jobs, you hear me, jobs!

    That’s my “stick to a thesis” and it doesn’t look good…Who is going to buy all these gadgets and stock without income?

    Come back to reality.

    If NVR is indicative of a sector wide surprise in the offing, might other housing/building suppliers (TOL, BXC, HD, LOW) be cheap heading into earnings? Seems like it happens that sectors out of favor get beaten down so much they end up being the best bargains out there.

    I think you said you were following me buying at 6.50

    I said then that they were a good takeout target. BMY is buying them for $16. Now that’s something to shout about.

            The daily (14) RSI is 73 but weekly is only 68 this could run

        downgrades, upgrades, doesn’t mean shit today either…. everything going up
        I do plan however to keep lots of powder dry for the fall as I predict once this run up has peaked, the market will reverse enough to put in some shorts.

    Honestly people , this is a fucking melt up.

    Don’t trust what those idiot analysts tell you that we’re going to stop here or there or that fair value is here or whatever. It’s a fucking melt up primarily because the recession isn’t that bad, Obama’s momentum to fuck things up has been slowed and most importantly, the Fed spigots are absolutely gaping open… wider than a downtown hooker.

    As far as global liquidity goes the world is literally awash in oceans of liquidity and as things appear to be improving the liquidity will accelerate the upside potential. There really is no knowing where this shit ends up as we have never had so much liquidity thrown at a problem, both in the US and around the world.

    I wouldn’t for second be arrogant enough to even say where this ends. However I will say this is the start and only the start of the mirror image of what we saw in the crash. Liquidity tightening up, recession hitting and the credit market crashing. In that sense things got worse as the Fed was really late in understanding the true situation and the dangers it posed.

    The reason I say this is the mirror image is because again the Fed will be late to the party and taking away the punch bowl for fear of what could happen. So we could see continued thawing of the credit markets, the oceans of liquidity hanging around, the economy improving and the stock markets and assets markets rocketing driven by easy money. in fact the easiest money we have ever seen.

    j – It sure feels like a melt up. I’ll keep posting those silly downside targets until we stop going up. I really don’t want to jinx my P/L. 🙂

    Seriously though, if we got back to 11,000 Dow or ~1,150 on the S&P we would zero out the meltdown and be flat. It doesn’t seem like super scary upside framed that way.
