To be long this market in size is equal to speed chopping carrots with your balls on the table, one of my favorite things to do. Even though the long trade has been very consistent, it’s always a little unsettling to be so bullish, amidst such a tragic economic backdrop. Nevertheless, until the mood changes, men with large pipes and well stocked cabinets filled with aged scotch want this market to go up.
Starting off the am, I am greeted with “extreme green” in a variety of names. You do not need to be concerned with such names, for they are mine. What you need to focus on is the quality of your trades, not the quantity. As you readily know by now, “The Fly” partakes in only the highest end of trades, such trades that can only be discussed in the smokiest dark oak rooms, or here on this bullshit website.
I am a sucker for the internets! God bless Al Gore.
Thus far, I am feeling the vibes being disseminated from several of my positions. Again, the names of these companies are really none of your concern. If you want stock ideas, I gather there are plenty of [[FAZ]] and [[SRS]] rec’s taking place on twitter, right about now.
Rumor has it, inside of a certain—undisclosed— smoky dark oak room, men with large pipes, and glasses brimming with aged scotch, are conversing about the prospects of CGG Veritas (ADR) [[CGV]] , U.S. Global Investors, Inc. [[GROW]] , Wimm-Bill-Dann Foods OJSC (ADR) [[WBD]] and Mechel OAO (ADR) [[MTL]]. Don’t quote me on that.
Additionally, some people believe Sociedad Quimica y Minera (ADR) [[SQM]] , Vimpel-Communications (ADR) [[VIP]] , Cummins Inc. [[CMI]] , Corinthian Colleges, Inc. [[COCO]], W.W. Grainger, Inc. [[GWW]] and SandRidge Energy Inc. [[SD]] look “pretty awesome” too. Once again, I refuse to be quoted on “suchness,” as Mrs. Fly would say.
ZSTN is rocking higher….!
PKX looks better and much more distinguished. Your ZSTN is dressed in a hoody and sweat pants, while my PKX is decked out in a tuxedo, top hat and sword- cane.
CTRP is wearing a 3 piece suit, with a fine pocket watch. And, so you know, GMCR has a monocle on.
Please return my monocle. I can’t see a damn thing.
I like CHNR better for two reasons. One, it’s a commodity play and two, it sounds like “Chiner.” Which is seriously olde schoole (sic) “ghetto*.”

VIX 17 doesn’t sway your bullishness?
That may be true, but it’s ghetto as fuck.

Beat me to it
I’m throwing spoons in the trash compactor and filling the dishwasher with hand soap at work today while getting long some USG ahead of manufacturing data this week and housing starts next week. It has a 20% short position and 17% stake from Buffett.
I thought about buying some on this pullback today.
The weekly chart looks good, too.
It’s like 30 degrees here in Orlando…WTF!!!

Heat Pump keeps running and running and running….
Can’t be too bad, my kid is playing a practice round right now for another golf tournament starting tomorrow (Ocoee area).
Hey Trader,
I live in Ocoee too…I recently moved there!
Do you fish for bass or gators around the area? Also, where do you usually play golf?
It hit 22 deg here in Porter Texas
Out of HBAN at $4.30 (from $3.76).
I’d still bet it goes higher after earnings, but what can I say? Wanted cash.
Dang, regret this already. It’s going to $6, I’ll bet.
Might as well wait for the cup to fill for confirmation. You can never be wrong by taking cash in this environment.
Scotch is brimming here, although I’m missing the oak. Fly, you rule.
Out of POT for 28% gain in 5 weeks.
So this is what Cantor Fitzgerald TradeBots do in their off time. At first I thought it was a Goldman Sachs SexBot (I mean TradeBot) bit she is clearly anti semitic (click to play).

Sigh…just came back from court to appeal my speeding ticket…
$50 court fee + 20 hours community service…TWENTY HOURS!!!
God damn lawyer attorney friend said to plea “NO CONTEST”…I should have pleaded “NOT GUILTY” and lied my ass off like everybody.
How fast were you going to get 20 hours community service? 160? 180?

BTW, that video was “made” for $300 and Sam Raimi offered the director/creator a $30M movie deal.
lets see that 100 roll for GWW
shorting AA here. No way they beat numbers well enough to justify the huge move recently. Will cover later in the week after an easy 10-20%
