Ha, Ha, Ha, It’s All a Scam

Who gives a fuck anymore? You’re better off flying to Iceland and parachuting yourself into one of those volcanoes, than fucking around trying to short this market.

I blew out of my [[SRS]] position based solely upon an explicit OVERBOUGHT reading, kindly provided the The PPT aka my brain. On a similar note, I am tempted to go long some Chinese Burritos here, as many of them are being tagged with OVERSOLD readings, namely [[CAGC]] . Essentially, it’s stupid to bet against robots, yet here I am not throwing my money into the inferno. It’s not that I am getting hit in the market, as evidenced by my accounts being at all-time highs. I am simply missing out on gains that are rightfully mine.

Truth be told, a slew of metal stocks are still down, ahead of STLD’s numbers. In my opinion, as long as “Chinese plays,” like steel and industrials, stay down–this is a DO NOT BUY market. However, with that being said, I am pretty much done letting my 30% cash marinate in a dead money market account. So, if we get some follow through tomorrow, accompanied by green in the burritos space, I intend to reallocate my cash into a variety of names.

The market is never predictable.

    For the moment that was the dominant thought. There was a sense of extreme disappointment, as though I had found out I had been striving after something altogether without a substance. I couldn’t have been more disgusted if I had traveled all this way for the sole purpose of talking with Mr. [Fly]. Talking with… I flung one shoe overboard, and became aware that that was exactly what I had been looking forward to – a talk with [Fly]. I made the strange discovery that I had never imagined him as doing, you know, as discoursing. I didn’t say to myself, “Now I will never see him,” or “Now I will never shake him by the hand,” but, “Now I will never hear him.” The man presented himself as a voice. Not of course that I did not connect him with some sort of action. Hadn’t I been told in all the tones of jealousy and admiration that he had collected, bartered, swindled, or stolen more [wins] than all the other [traders] put together. That was not the point. The point was in his being a gifted creature, and that of all his gifts the one that stood out pre-eminently, that carried with it a sense of real presence, was his ability to talk, his words – the gift of expression, the bewildering, the illuminating, the most exalted, the most contemptible, the pulsating stream of light, the deceitful flow from [iBankCoin].

    There will be many intraday SPY bounces on the way down to dow 9k. Probably every damn lunch, just like we’ve seen for a year. XLB gave a great entry this morning. But, the bounces are getting weaker.

    However….

    GS in a lose/lose situation here for offering earning’s outlook. If its too positive, people won’t believe it.If its too negative, they sell anyway.

      This might not be a bounce on the way to 9K, it may be slap-chop city. Everyone’s been so trendy lately, enamored with the low volatility and strong trend on the way up, that we might not get any elevators OR escalators down, just a bunch of flying machetes.

    The only scam is that of the Nat Gas fuckery that takes place daily.

      Nat gas goes down because investors missed oil and then think they should buy NG. They have zero of the same factors. NG always goes down at this time of year, why wouldn’t it?

        I’m not referring to the fact that it “goes down”. I’m not that simple. I’m referencing the daily bipolarness with regard to price action. Whoever is behind the scenes controlling that market is ballin’ somethin’ fierce.

    Fucking amazing – momentum was getting a shit kicking and the buy program cavalry showed up. Even though, most of the leaders stayed in the red.

    After that much damage, I’m much happier to stay light and wait 2 or 3 days for confirmation before jumping back in.

    THE ROYAL SCAM

    And they wandered in
    From the city of St. John
    Without a dime
    Wearing coats that shined
    Both red and green
    Colors from their sunny island
    From their boats of iron
    They looked upon the promised land
    Where surely life was sweet
    On the rising tide
    To New York City
    Did they ride into the street

    See the glory
    Of the royal scam

    They are hounded down
    To the bottom of a bad town
    Amid the ruins
    Where they learn to fear
    An angry race of fallen kings
    Their dark companions
    While the memory of
    Their southern sky was clouded by
    A savage winter
    Every patron saint
    Hung on the wall, shared the room
    With twenty sinners

    See the glory
    Of the royal scam

    By the blackened wall
    He does it all
    He thinks he’s died and gone to heaven
    Now the tale is told
    By the old man back home
    He reads the letter
    How they are paid in gold
    Just to babble in the back room
    All night and waste their time
    And they wandered in
    From the city of St. John without a dime

    See the glory
    Of the royal scam

    Forget a few days, I did a scan and most of the charts look like shit – XLF looks like a great short for one.

    It’ll take while to set this up again.

    A few months back in 2009 you bought the Chinese Burritos and then sold them for losses, and said not to buy them. Now you may buy them…I hope you are out taking a late night ride and rethinking this idea.
