I guess Meredith Whitney was right: don’t short banks into earnings, especially since they are being gifted money. It’s not a secret, my FAZ/SRS/SSG/SCO/FXP positions are being blow the fuck up, under a cloud of happiness and sheer joy—all thanks and praise to the King of the House of Saud.
At this stage, I just have to endure the needles in my eyeballs, until a brighter day of gloom and doom is upon us. With that in mind, I shall endeavor to take profits on the myriad of crap stocks populating my portfolios.
On a day like this, extreme melt up, we are unlikely to weaken and trade lower. My best guess, this fucker boot stomps the bears all the way to the closing bell. At the present, I am scouring the market for some swing longs and will execute a few in short order.
Bottom line: If you got caught short banks or anything else for that matter, only a miracle of disaster can save you now. The full wrath of men in pink leotards, “playing the bottom,” will make further inroads into your purse, if you’re not careful.
UPDATE: For the record, it’s rather odd to see the dollar up on a day like this. It goes against the laws of “fuck you, you’re dead” rallies.
UPDATE II: I sold out of [[GU]] at $2.40
