OMG INFLATION!!

Look at how inflation, as represented by the CRB index, is gripping America. OMG.

In other news, the euro got “tivo’d” today, as angry gorillas sold short into the bell. Separately, the [[VXX]] is trading near “flash crash” highs, despite being 600 points away from the bottom. For the day, as of 3:52pm, I am up 0.6%, led by gains in [[VXX]] . With my cash, as always, I am waiting for an opportunity to buy your margin liquidations.

EXPECT FUCKERY to occur, both tonight and tomorrow. And, always remember, “The Fly” wins all the time, eventually, much to your chagrin. What can I say? I’m just one of those lucky guys, who ends up with the hot chick, fast car and “zeroes like fuck” in his checking/brokerage accounts.

      Looks like the lagging M1 chart at shadowstats.com —
      http://www.shadowstats.com/alternate_data/money-supply-charts

      We had a lot of inflation/USD dilution, then the bailouts, then deflation, and to come – more inflation.

      The reverse-engineered M3 is a little easier to follow. The Fed removed this one from public view because it’s too easy to see the manipulation.

    BULLSHIT AS The CRB Futures Price Index has been adjusted on a regular basis in order to maintain its relevance. SO the chart is useless unless you skew it.

      For someone who puts all his stock on gold you should be better informed and know that gold is not a commodity but straight up money OF LAST RESORT. Gold is not rallying b/c there’s inflation in the pipeline but b/c the participants fear of an outright COLLAPSE in fiat currencies/these days Euro.
      I dispise you as a human being but I am aware that you have kids so I would advise you to get out of this gold business for a while. If not convinced, look at chart of gold of 2008/09 during somewhat similar circumstances as now and you will get the idea.

      Than again, I could be wrong and we indeed get a currency collapse and you’d be right, but I doubt it. In fact, I am perplexed that gold is holding so well at a time when it should really be selling off…deflationary cycle (austerity plans across the board, globaly) and rising US$.

        You should perhaps explain how a currency collapse and inflation are not, in this day and age, tantamount to the same thing. If you can manage that, your argument would hold more sway over me.

        Historically speaking, gold / silver performs well in both inflationary and deflationary environments. You should be more focused on silver, IMO, It performs better than gold.

      I’m trying to figure out why banning something that is normally illegal is construed as “not good”.

      If we come out with a policy to ban murder, does that mean everyone grabs a piece and starts to light up fools?

        Ah — the international perspective. Perhaps you could inform some of the parochial monkey dicks on this site how the rest of the world views this development. Maybe a subscription to the Economist should be mandatory before posting here.

    The decline in the euro is alarming, not because of the exchange rate, but the vote of no confidence post bailout.

    Like i said, the bailout has already failed

    If you were trading the steels as I said last night, you would have been up 7% on X, 7% on AKS, and 5% on SLX from yesterdays lows to today’s high before the sell off today. My call was for a 5% gain in said names. Fuck Off Alvari.

    TA, I agree, I was shocked to see Fly get into FAZ…couldn’t post at work, but I did notice that move.

    Then again, I can’t believe you keep trying to nibble to the long side…give up the fight, get short!

    Fly, I do give kudos on the VXX trade…If only it offered options…think of the arb play between the stock, the options, and the VIX calls…in the end it probably wouldn’t be worth it.

    Up 0.2% today…stupid meetings made me miss the turn in the market and I watched the rest of it unfold.

    What are the odds I get a third day in a row of 15 minutes up then move down? This feels like one of those times where the market will open down 300 tomorrow and there will be no chance to get in. I hope I’m wrong and will jump in at the open if given the chance.

    It will be interesting to see how HPQ does against an otherwise negative tape. There’s no way one stock is going to reverse this trend…or will it?
