Early this morning, I sold out of my EEV position. As you already know, I added to both SWHC and RGR positions.
Look, I am trying to get long, without feeling a sense of misery about doing so. I can’t sit here, with a straight face, and buy AA or BAC and tell you “they are possible bounce plays.”
I’m done trying to catch idiotic bounces in shitty names. I am up for the year (12%), while everyone else is near death. I was up nearly 60% last year, while people in my industry got annihilated. I must be doing something right.
I am starting to see some real anecdotal evidence that the economy is in trouble, from a NYC perspective. Business owners that I know are unable to get loans, despite having millions in collateral. And, good people are being laid off.
By the way, in case you were unaware, the yen (FXY) is getting cremated today, which in turn is helping stocks. Call me a banana salesman if you must, but if it’s not gun related, I’m not buying stocks.
I have approximately 55% in cash and loathe the notion of being fully invested. As a matter of fact, I may never go “all in” again.
For fuck’s sake, old fuckers in wheeled chairs lost all of their retirement savings, investing through Bill Miller at LM. I’m over here, like a fucking Saint, doing the Lord’s work and for what?
I get to enjoy the pleasantries of DEVILDOG and other losers. The life of a Blog Father.
In short, I have many tricks up my sleeve, with regards to commercial Re. So you know, tonight, I will be posting an article, exclusive to PPT (fuck you it took time and money to build it), on the cre market and what names can—go—all-the—way.
