          Moe:

          Not for nothing but last time you were talking about banks you were telling us to sell GS at 55 and then 90 and later 105.

          Sorry but you’re the last person to be giving advice even if a broken clock is right twice a day.

            Yes I did get my ass kicked with my shorting of GS along its massive run up. But I was smart enough to cut my losses small along the way.

            I laugh at the job numbers. The White House and the Democrat media (that’s all the media) will pump up these numbers and of course the sheeple will take it hook line and sinker. What they won’t tell you is that those numbers don’t include people whose benefits have expired(of which there are many) or people who have given up on looking for work. Yes it’s an improved number but for the the proof in the pudding lies in the foreclosure numbers, the default numbers, the bankruptcy numbers and other credit based numbers. These people who are being foreclosed on, who are defaulting on their loans, who are going bankrupt, they will not be able to qualify for credit for a long time. The consumer relies on credit to live.

          Someone should shut a dictionary on your cock, preferably on the page for the word “your” and the definition of the contraction for “you’re.” This way, when you find yourself chronically masturbating in the local Chuck E. Cheese you will know what what the officer means when he slips a note under the door that reads, “You’re under arrest.”

    Shorting the banks here is dangerous out right, I would only consider using some crack inverses and then going long for a pair trade with high beta high short interest banks, as Fly mentioned Tier 1 is key to survival right now. On another bank note I really like AIB here.

    Didn’t the stress testing essentially make Tier1 capital redundant as a look through in judging bank health. I thought TCE is the new, new black dress.

    GS (who knew the unemployment report yesterday) is about to go negative.
    They are setting their tradebots to fade the open.

    SMH looks like crap at the open btw. BRCM,KLAC, NVLS,NSM,LRCX etc all negative now.

      TC:

      GS “knew” the number because the president basically leaked yesterday. (He said the figures a day ahead). he basically talked up the economy and say that the labor side would be starting to improve. That was the giveaway and I wish i had seen it before the market closed.

    Bought some more Boeing and shorted the Euro right here.

    The strength in the US dollar seems benign as the yen is copping it up the backside also.

    Fuck it all in… well not quite.

    lay your bets gents. The market isn’t higher because people don’t quite believe it.

    I gotta tell you guys. Dollar strength across the Yen and the Euro is fucking great for US asset markets. The two have to more or less stay in tandem.

    An across the board strength in the buck should be looked at as reasonably positive of US Assets and in fact for other market too.

    There’s always a currency theme in August and I think it’s across the board dollar strength that may be just starting. The effect is that it could propel global asset prices higher as the Euro slobs need a weaker Euro and the Japanese need a much weaker yen too.

    This would also put confidence back in US assets by foreigners.

    I’m loading up the truck with a long US position with a stop that won’t kill me if I’m wrong and will give me a chance to play the US dollar August theme.

    Looks like Fly was right (even though he was wrong) about STSA. The squeeze is on.

    I’m troubled however that SYNA is not moving. With 40% float short this should be screaming higher today.

    Just sold all of my ITB (homie etf) and DHI that I bought for my IRA months ago.
    Nice gain.
    Can’t see how higher rates are going to help the homies in what I believe will be a big time jobless recovery.
    The big $$ jobs are not coming back any time soon in this political and financial envionment.

      Don’t think any exists.
      How about a short on RTH (Retail Holders etf )?
      It should be available as it has plenty of volume (8mm) but beware WMT makes up 22% and HD about 13% with AMZN and TGT about 8% each.
