Merry Christmas

Well, I am pleased with my BROKEN ROBOT gift this pagan X-mas. How about you? Enjoy the rest of the day and be nice to your family, you miserable bastards.

Here is a great little site for the kiddies, if they are into tracking Santa.

Be well and enjoy the spiked egg nog.

    We’re not all bastids, you know.

    Jake, nice call on TBT.
    However, I think we pull back a bit,
    which I see as a buying opportunity,
    before commencing into orbit
    as shorting the long treasuries becomes the new FAD for 2010 and beyond.

    Yes, there will likely be a pullback. But the US treasuries will be breaking all robots and Italian donkeys in 2010.

    TBT will become “all the rage.”

    Tbt has limited upside in 2010. You inflation lovers may need to wait for 2011-2012 until it really pops.

      Perhaps you ought to look at a chart over the last month, where the 50% fib held the market back. A breakout is just a signal, just like a breakdown off a significant line. Hence, “hedging,” at significant lines rather than going “all in” one way or another.

      You have much to learn, Mssr. Le Sawdust.

        I know the technical signals but I’m a tape reader first plus I sell puts so I’m always hedged you moron.

          It’s ever-astounding to me the amount of two-bit douches that come to this site for no other reason than to play the annoying troll role.

          That astonishment redounds exponentially when said trolls have the balls to take umbrage when they’re called on their douchenesse.

          Merry Christmas to you, too, Chainsaw Troll. Please haunt another site in 2010.

            You must not know too many Noo Yawkahs. We’ve got nothing but love in our hearts, as rule.

            Suffering fools gladly, however, has never been a strong point.

            This may constitute some trouble for you going forward… But Merry Christmas anyhoo.

        Jake,

        I’m seeing that the long term down trend line has been broken also.

        However, what worries me is the divergence on the MACD.

    Fly,

    I just joined the PPT, but can’t find any of the Profunds etfs, which you said were included.

    Am I missing something?

    I was hoping to get a hybrid score for all of their sectors funds.

    Fly,

    I can’t be that dumb.. well maybe. But I’ve gone to the etf page and done the company search. I’m seeing proshares, but not profunds.

    Specifically, I’m looking for: bmpix, bkpix, bipix,cnpix,fnpix,hepix,inpix,wcpix,phpix,repix,smpix,tcpix,tepix, which are many of, but not all of the sector funds.

    If I’m missing these can you give me a clue as to where to look.

          Actually I’ve been doing okay with the mutes.

          However, if I can’t keep it up, I may get set up differently.

          But for now, I’m kind of liking the mutes.

        Okay,

        Guess I got the name wrong.

        CA had once referred to a question I had about Profunds by referring back to them as etfs and so I started using that term.

        In any case, I think I can look at the major underlying stocks, of which only three or four make up the biggest percent of the fund, see what they’re doing on your screener and proceed from there.

        Thanks.

    I bought some fish at Walmart tonight. I got home and read the label. The fucking fish was from China.
    What the fuck is wrong with this country?

      Dave,
      I have been doing this for years: READING LABELS before I buy anything.
      I only buy – for the most part – MADE IN THE USA as far as food.
      But you must know that fish can come from all over the world in frozen form.
      Not to get off track, but look at what is in your ingredients for bread – high fructose corn syrup –
      which is NOT GOOD FOR YOU.
      You wouldn’t think it would be in bread but it is.
      Try finding a loaf without it.

    Fly,

    I am very impressed by the open mind you kept this year. While other bloggers were talking about the market going to hell, you hung in there and many of your picks did pan out. I learned a few things myself by reading the free sections of your website and was able to get some good ideas. For example, the call you made on EQIX was astounding and despite guys like Jim Cramer downgrading the stock you stuck to your guns.

    Those who follow me on the web know that I am very discriminating when it comes to websites. I will use profanity in my blog to describe the actions of other bloggers. It is rare when I throw my support behind a website. However, I have thrown my support behind yours and later on today will be a part of the Plunge Protection Team.
