THE END IS NEAR

Men with hunched backs, smoking crooked cigars, declared victory today, by way of sucking the capitalization out of the market. Despite being wrong for 200 consecutive days, today is their day. Let them bask in the glory of dominion, over the hapless bulls and their stupid ideas of progress.

They declare: “In order to correct this superfluous economy, we must bring it to its knees.” Such brave men, from their PC trenches, hit sell buttons, while twittering about their excursions into “enemy” territory. “It is the Government that sucks dick,” they shout from shingled rooftops.

With large signs and fat bellies, they partake in “Tea Parties,” mainly to reacquire their country from the current assemblage of Stalinist yardbirds at the White House, in exchange for George Washington himself.

They will resurrect him from the dead, through diligent hocus-pocus, sufficiently saving this great nation from the horrors of Chinese prison factories.

Nevertheless, despite all of this, “Senor Tropicana” stepped in today. He did not step in too small or too big, but just right. He stepped into shit, then wiped his $450 Bruno Magli shoes all over your rugs. Today’s buys represented faith, not much more. I do believe there is another 1-2% of further downside. However, according to The PPT and recent history, today was a day to buy, not sell.

    These days the fly seems a bit perma-bull-ish. Like that beanie-ville trader/pumper. Either way. Some of us shorted this week to “bank coin” and used today’s sweetness to close out those positions. I agree though… the up-trend is still in tact, so I shorted almost every single bear leaning Direxion ETF I could grab and closed my Capital One short. Went long on the filthy (essentially bankrupt) bastards. Btw. Greatest. Blog. EVER!

      Congrats on doing what has made money on every minute pullback (that’s “my-newt”) since March. It works until it doesn’t, and shorting 3x ETFs is a fun way to get off if you like it rough.

    “Bruno Magli…” Just make sure there are no cuts on your hands, you were not on a plane to Chicago at the time of the buys, and there are not bloody fingerprints on the pacer and in one bloody glove outside Casa Fly.

        LOL. Your pulish ass-covering for him, while appreciated, might have some merit, had he not made a comment about “buying and selling 20 times over” another commenter on his blog just the other day.

        No, ole Timmay’s just the kind of first generation-out-of the-swamp classless redneck to come here and make just those comments about his “bankroll.”

          had he not made a comment about “buying and selling 20 times over” another commenter on his blog just the other day.

          Can you expand on that a little. What exactly did he say?

          It must be paper trading because Timmy has lost all his capital since the march rally.

          In any event nothing he says can be trusted as he’s too dishonest to have any credibility. It was only late last week when he dishonestly said that he’d made most of his losses back for the year in a market he’s been short that’s rallied 50%. Ummmm the market fell 2.2% for the week. Freaking liar.

          He’s starting a hedge fund you know…It’s based on technical analysis, he’s gonna short the market and make major league coin for only the wealthiest of those who can afford to chip in. It’s gonna be huge. We will plunge again and Timmy’s fund will be on the cover of Time.

            If by starting a hedge fund you mean painfully asking his readers to fill out a survey in which he probably found that each had a net worth somewhere south of 25k and then dropping the matter forever remembering that his blog is a magnet for the poor and unemployed/underemployed. Tim couldn’t manage his company properly or he wouldn’t have had to sell it for loose change and a job so who’s gonna trust him minding their money.

    It’s the jobs report, stupid. I forget which way the market is supposed to react now – real bad report still means up? or……bad report now means down? Everything down today but green mostly after hours. The SP500 has always pulled back from being about 20% above the 300 day moving average – there was one exception in the 1930s when it was over 60% above the avg. before pulling back.

    HFT, possible that a bad report generates a spike down, drawing in a lot of shorts. Then the market skyrockets under the assumption that this bad report was priced in by the market swoon of the last few days. Low volume Friday afternoon and the shorts could get squeezed badly.

    I think a positive note for the economy is that MBS (specifically the current 4.5 coupon) are near multi-month highs right now. With the housing credit expiring in November and rates potentially falling to new lows, the govt may extend the housing credit or step up MBS purchase programs (still ~$400B left in the Fed designated purchase amount). On top of increased pending home sales I think this may be a stronger possibility.

    I also love the shippers right now, specifically CNW. I mentioned DB Securities initiating coverage on the industry and YRCW got a new contract among other positive news. Check it.

    Did you see Japan’s unemployment downticked to 5.5% from record highs. Other stats regarding unemployment weren’t great but the downtick is positive nonetheless.

          I think “High unemployment” will remain a fact as long as we have the threat of increased costs of employment hanging over employers.

          I know I’m not looking to add anybody, and hell, I need to add somebody!

      AA earnings next week will set this markets direction, and tone, as usual.

      but, the banks have not moved in 3-4 months, that it the real hold up. HBAN for example has been in the 4 dollars range since May, and still there…..
