Waiting For a Spark

I know you Tea Party players want to stop spending in order to “get our fiscal house in order.” Generally, you fuckers are idiots and know very little about the current situation we are in. Without EXCESSIVE government spending, the middle class in America will be offered “the black flag,” where they will enjoy the luxuries of the welfare system. It’s too early in the recovery cycle to pull back on government stimulus. The only reason why the republicans are bitching and moaning about spending is because the democrats are in power. When Bush was chilling in the White House, those elephant fuckers were sucking the treasury dry.

Much to my chagrin, I’m afraid Prezident O’bama will campaign during tonight’s State of the Union speech. That man hardly governs. All he does is campaign, mainly because he is a weak leader and doesn’t know how to do anything. Fucking shocker. With populist mumbo-jumbo on the front burner, Wall Street will drop napalm on the 401k’s of the average, blue collar dipshit collecting trash for a living, by way of tanking this market until the O’bama administration says “mercy.”

Say mercy Prezident O’bama, say mercy. Don’t even think about shouting out “freedom.”

At any rate, regardless of politics, this market is nearing extreme oversold levels and will bounce soon. Write the down and trade accordingly.

All we need is a spark.

    It’s us that will be asking for mercy. Via the United Nation’s Agenda 21, which is backed by 190+ countries already. We’ll be begging for our socialist/fascist/plutocractic “green job” when the economy has been intentionally destroyed beneath our feet.

    Agenda 21 spreads it tentacles from Governments, to federal and local authorities, and right down to community groups (see the Agenda 21 local planning guide at http://www.crossroad.to/text/articles/la21_198.html ). Chapter 28 of Agenda 21 specifically calls for each community to formulate its own Local Agenda 21: ”Each local authority should enter into a dialogue with its citizens, local organizations, and private enterprises to formulate ‘a Local Agenda 21.’ Through consultation and consensus-building, local authorities would learn from citizens and from local, civic, community, business and industrial organizations and acquire the information needed for formulating the best strategies.” – Agenda 21, Chapter 28, sec 1.3

        Who says I can’t do both, such as in being multi-talented? Most traders sit around on their ass all day long. Why can’t they also read and research a bit? As a former investigative journalist, it’s my other hobby.

    But I was looking forward to voting democrats out in November.

    So true. Republicans rule like a football team. They see the goal even if its not best for the country, and always back the quarterback(President) if hes on our team. Try to tackle the other qaurterback and possibly injure him(Democratic President)
    As for Democrats, they have no balls. They dont know how to stick together. Fucking pathetic. If you believe voting republican is going to bring around “change” in November, then your just like the democrats voting in Obama last november. Your just on the other side this time drinking the kool aid. Its not more of change. Its the SAME. All politicians are the same. They promise you all this rap, then when they get into office, they are confronted with the reality of the situation, and all that change you hoped for is gone.

    Waaahhh, cry me a river if you actually think your vote counts. LOL.

    I agree with you 100% Fly. Especially w/Obama. Every time I see him talk on the tevee he sounds as if he’s still running for Prez. I have these hi-tech tin cans connected to said tevee via hi-tech string that relay anything I say to whomever is on that channel (quite extraordinary!) and when “The O Show” (no not Oprah…although similar) is on, I announce egregiously “Dood, you ARE Prez….don’t try to sell your hype anymore AND start getting shit dun son.”

      Obama is not only president of the US, but (illegally) the chair of the UN Security Council. Maybe he’s running for president of the European Union, now that the EU has a permanent president (now held by Belgian Prime Minister Herman Van Rompuy).

    Geithner is about to get a haircut by congress. I love how these asshole politicians claim stupidity. As though they had no idea how fucked this country is. Yes, this country is fucked. And AIG is where all of the shit paper lies. All this shit paper cannot be allowed out of AIG or else the entire ponzi scheme that is America crumbles. There was no coverup, even though these idiots claim there was. It was clear what was happening from Day 1. Geithner is clearly highly medicated. Looks funny to see him trying to hold it together.

    Nice post. Don’t know about the “spark” though, this sell-off seems to run deeper than just Obama. There is much more behind it.

    >>…this market is nearing extreme oversold levels…<<

    Nah, the last couple of days worked a lot of that off… How about we take a relatively quick (within three to four months) trip down to the upper 900s on the S&P (15x Q4 ’09 run-rate earnings, because 2010 won’t be any better than run-rate Q4 was), then go back to the ’70s with a long, slow, multi-year grind down in the face of continually disappointing earnings and the paydown of the debt overhang, until finally, no one gives a flying fuck about stocks, and then they can start to go up again, say, around 2014 or so?

    I just want you to know, Fly, that when that happens I will still be here to read your hilarious blog posts (and you certainly will have plenty of time to write them).

    Anybody seriously think Geithner is getting canned? Intrade has him at 40%, its a good spread… I can see him Obama throwing him under the bus and getting Summers to sub him.

    What a fucking liar…who seriously think he wasn’t in any way not in participation with AIG? Kind of reminds me of the Clemens testimony.

    Never mind the market… look at the gold/silver ratio. It’s at insane levels — currently ($1092.60/$16.60) or 65.82 x !

    With historical ratios between 40 and 50x, that’s just nuts. Backing up the truck, I may end up with 16 tonnes (sic) — so be it.

    so the fly is only bullish if the govt continues to spend EXCESSIVELY? that doesn’t sound like an investment thesis…this recession is far from over, the spending has yet to work, let it take it’s course…bring the pain, americans are overdebted, materialistic, financially ignorant…if they didnt take profits in this rally and put it in savings, then they are in for some pain…look at the X, CAT numbers, home numbers and thats WITH stimulus/spending…cheers and still a fan…big al

      Agreed! Financially ignorant is right. Why don’t we teach financial classes in high school??? The average high school student doesn’t even know how to balance a check book. Sad indeed.

      Government stimulus has never worked in the long term plain and simple.

      Fly you are wrong, but I still love your blog and your insight

    Geither acts like the world would have ended if AIG would have gone under. Would McDonalds have stoped selling hamburgers? Would Microsoft stopped making software? Would Exxon stopped selling gas?

    Hell NO!! things would have become much more difficult yes, but that was what was needed. A total wash out of the shit in the system. Now what we have is a kicking of the can down the road for younger people to carry the burden in the future
