We’re Not Scared

It’s 3:20 pm and I am no longer intrigued by today’s market. So, without trepidation, I bid you farewell.

Before I go, let’s review The House of Fly, shall we?

20% cash, 11% [[VXX]] and 69% equities

Core positions:

Flotek Industries, Inc. [[FTK]] Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. [[GS]] ICICI Bank Limited (ADR) [[IBN]] POSCO (ADR) [[PKX]] [[CBD]] Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd (ADR) [[TEVA]] Sociedad Quimica y Minera (ADR) [[SQM]] [[MWW]] SandRidge Energy Inc. [[SD]] [[VXX]] Citigroup Inc. [[C]] Southwestern Energy Company [[SWN]] Johnson Controls, Inc. [[JCI]] Jarden Corporation [[JAH]] Fuel Systems Solutions, Inc. [[FSYS]] The AES Corporation [[AES]] Eastman Chemical Company [[EMN]] [[CGA]] GMX Resources Inc. [[GMXR]] Cytec Industries Inc. [[CYT]] Cameron International Corporation [[CAM]] Trico Marine Services Inc [[TRMA]]

As you can see, it’s a mixed bag, with bitter sweet action in Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. [[GS]] , only because I like the fact that it is going lower, so that I could buy more. But, it does suck losing 10% in a day. But, my intra-day Trico Marine Services Inc [[TRMA]] and Cameron International Corporation [[CAM]] purchases have more than cut my Goldman losses in half, as far as daily profit and losses are concerned. Essentially, “The Fly” is winning, even though it appears he is losing in the most horrendous of fashions. To answer your question pal, I am not selling anything today.

Off to do something rich.

NOTE: Remember to tune in this weekend, for another fun filled episode of Cartoon Fly. This week, “The Fly” hires a new rep, Sunday 8pm.

      I added to GS too and now I have 50% of the position in GS that I innitally wanted to. I have to say that the fact tht there was no strength/bounce today in the share price makes me a little nervous. Does jailing the french cocksucker have any effect in GS’s ability to make money? No! Fuck, even the CEO could go to jail and GS would still be intact. So, why is the selloff so relentless? Is there something I am not seeing?
      Come Monday, I will decide to get out entirely or continue to build the position to where I originaly wanted . Today’s tape was disapointing and the weakness is pointing to the fact that there might be something yet to appear!

      Fuck all of you and have a great weekend!

    According to “ran squawk” newswire, the US may open up the strategic petroleum reserve. This could give further lift to the market next week.
    Also–Im Seeing many potential bull flags in many sectors here (on 30 min charts) — $IYR $XLF $IYT $XLB $EEM $IBB $MOO $FXB $FXA .

    This is giving me more motivation to NOT be short into monday

      The overall damage was limited to only a bit over 1%, so we’re only talking about a flesh wound, but the point is “they’s principalities involved, smoke”….that’s all i’m sayin’.

      Also, I just like to occasionally be irate. It numbs the pain.

      Anyway, I’m buying more GS Monday. I hope it goes lower at the open, I really do. Actually, I’m buying it up into my wife’s IRA account. I don’t have the patience to hold it long enough to profit, but if i just stick it in her account i’ll probably forget about it.

      She is gonna be pissed — no way she will see the logic of me buying some company that’s being roundly trashed at every news break and who’s share price is plummeting day by day. Should make for decent entertainment.

      I don’t have a time machine yet, so I tend to look at the charts. I won’t describe specifically what I’m looking at because I know your opinion of TA and it will just sound silly. I just can’t look at a daily or weekly chart of GS and think that it’s a good buy right now; these huge sell-offs on huge volume seems like more of initiation down move rather than a panic/blip to be bought. We just closed on a monthly and YTD low for GS with the market starting to soften and the VIX spiking. This just seems like the kind of move that I would rather be buying on the way back up than averaging down on.

    “The sectors that brought us to the ridiculous highs are getting sold off. The financial sector now faces a choice between offering a sacrificial lamb or becoming a regulated utility. We hope it opts for the first (we have a few candidates in mind), as the latter will likely lead to the prompt realization that we never really emerged from the great depression v2. Goldman once again reminded everyone today who is still in charge. As for tech, say good bye to the stimulus wave. In fact, Q1 GDP will be merely the next point on a declining curve. Unless a new stimulus is instituted promptly, this is now the middle of the W. The same for the artificial and one-time bounce in GDP as we have been saying since April of 2009. The bears, for the first time in 13 months are finally smelling blood. And we have a weekend chock full of catalysts,number one and two being the Greek bailout and the resultant civil war, and Lloyd Blankfein on Charlie Rose, digging himself into an even deeper hole. The best damage control for the squid right now is silence. Pity that stooping to the level of the morts has always been the mollusc’s weakest side, and soon to be its undoing. Also add to that the Bund short-end screaming tighter, and the surge in the dollar, as in the sudden and dramatic evaporation of all carry trades, and you have set the stage for the Lehman unwind. Next week will be fun. Next week will be fun. “

    Let me count the multitudes of fuckery I’ve experienced this week, mostly today.

    First, let it be known that i sold my 12,000 shares of Dendreon at $35, when my oft-pronounced strategy was to HOLD UNTIL AT LEAST MAY 1ST. What the fuck is wrong with me.

    Second, my mean reversion ES auto-trading system decided to deliver blow after blow after blow upon my person while i was out playing golf this afternoon. What the fuck happened to BUY THE GOD DAMN DIPS?

    And last, my first tranche of Goldman Sachs has delivered what can only be considered an immediately body blow.

    I’m sure they and the people who are clients for your firm wouldn’t want to know that this is how you spend your time pretending you are StockGod.

    On daily it looks like it’s been consolidating for weeks and now about to breakout from the upper range with heavy volume.

    Earnings can give it the momentum.
