Enter Jackass

While I sit here, drinking 40 ounces of beer, eating 40 shrimp cocktails and enjoying another 40 point lift in the Dow, I find myself slightly enraged by the number “40.” Is it necessary for the puppet masters to be so candid in their obvious disdain for free markets, by way of performing daily 40 point triumphs? It’s like alien space invaders building pyramids or inventing Einstein.

Some of my stocks are lower today, namely POSCO (ADR) [[PKX]] and [[MWW]] . However, do not fear, General Cable Corporation [[BGC]] , Citigroup Inc. [[C]] and Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. [[BRCD]] are making up for their insolence. The good news is: Adobe Systems Incorporated [[ADBE]] has bottomed, as predicted yesterday, and can now trend higher with the rest of the little sheep. BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaa.

With my money, I might as well buy OEX calls, slightly out of the money, everyday, for as long as I live. Or, I can continue the path of most resistance, and do nothing. The mystery de Le Fly continues!

On a serious note, due to my delirium and hunger to do something “crazy,” I am considering buying more Flotek Industries, Inc. [[FTK]] , down at these levels. It’s been awhile since I bought the name—in earnest. However, with financing out of the way and the market a sure thing, it makes sense to buy the worst managed drilling parts company, who happens to be saddled with a massive short position, while the stock is stuck in the $1’s. Just thinking out loud, folks. Thinking.out.loud.

Good day.

      Nasdaq has had a trin at or below .5 for 6 days straight. Unless Geithner can get the fed to authorize negative trin readings—The nasdaq is about to get slammed within hours, or minutes from here.

      However, Timmy G is a 30th level “elven cleric”…….So anything is possible.

    Bullish “reverse head and shoulders” in TLT and FXY 60 min charts

    I think the yen’s death was greatly exaggerated. Japan still has so much to offer to the world.

    These bastards are once again trying to bankrupt me.

    The string of “good news” can’t continue unabated and unbroken forever. Something bad will happen before long, and when it does, a lot of motherfuckers are gonna take profits in a hurry.

    I’ll be there to profit from their profiting.

    LET IT BE KNOWN

    I am fully short from this point on. No fucking around.

    Mind you, im not a complete idiot, in that I’ve hedged all my egregious short positions with a little protection. But that aside, I am short and will stay short until either this fucker rolls over or my protection expires at end of May. At which time, i’ll reconsider.

        If this market runs up both into and after earnings with no selloff, on top of the gigantic run its already had, i will be absolutely blown away and shellshocked on a permanenent basis.

        I’m not looking for a 20% crash, not even a 10% correction, just the 3% – 5% profit taking that is more than due.

    40 a day keeps the shorts at bay.
    This f*ing melt up is really boring.
    My mostly long positions just aren’t going anywhere.
    I need either a BTFO or a BTFD* to wake me up.

    ok. so.

    The dow started the year at 10430.69 and closed yesterday at 10927.07 witch equals a 496.38 point gain ytd.

    There have been ~12 weeks this year so far.

    Where am i going with this?! WELL!!!!! (+2 for insanity)

    496.38 divided by 12 weeks = ~40!!!!!!

    Another shale deal:

    That adds CXG and ATLS since the APC shale deal and my post ^ … PETD should be next as they are the most needy of the bunch.

      Thanks T.
      I was just sipping some tea in PA, I set the mug down and just in time – my tea caught on fire.
      But seriously, I have heard of the ground-water becoming undrinkable. But I agree with you, there’s no stopping that train. Environmental issues will be pushed aside as the local, state & fed govmts go broke.
