ATTENTION INTERNET: This is a Retard Market

Lots of cross-currents, especially in the currencies. This is a real hard market to gauge, which is why you should keep it light. If you have some sweet gains, off of the lows, take some off the table and chill out for awhile. Although I am adding to some positions today, I still have a decent amount of cash on the books. Plus anyway, I’m fucking nuts, with a 30% YTD gain, while you are just some guy reading my blog, poor and destitute.

At any rate, I have several pressing matters to attend to today. So, unfortunately, this will be my final post of the day. I am looking for the market to keep its gains, mainly because of the euro/yen situation.
However, I’ve been tricked before by this cocksucker of a market. The bottom line is this: trust nothing but the gains in your portfolio. You need to book them constantly. Hit and move, young boy, hit and move.

UPDATE: I sold out [[TYH]], in order to “respect the hybrid.”

      Damn, it sure did. Wonder what happened there. The rest of the market is still way up. My BP is doing quite well. As expected, the topkill procedure is going to fix the problem. I still believe they could have done this a month ago, but didn’t want to because it means the well is now worthless. They wanted to save their investment by now killing the tap, instead, they ended up wasting a month fucking around with other unproven ideas and created a catastrophe that will be talked about for a generation.

    NEW ORLEANS — Marine scientists have discovered a massive new plume of what they believe to be oil deep beneath the Gulf of Mexico, stretching 22 miles from the leaking wellhead northeast toward Mobile Bay, Alabama.

    The discovery by researchers on the University of South Florida College of Marine Science’s Weatherbird II vessel is the second significant undersea plume recorded since the Deepwater Horizon exploded on April 20.

    The thick plume was detected just beneath the surface down to about 3,300 feet, and is more than 6 miles wide, said David Hollander, associate professor of chemical oceanography at the school.

    Hollander said the team detected the thickest amount of hydrocarbons, likely from the oil spewing from the blown out well, at about 1,300 feet in the same spot on two separate days this week.

    The discovery was important, he said, because it confirmed that the substance found in the water was not naturally occurring and that the plume was at its highest concentration in deeper waters. The researchers will use further testing to determine whether the hydrocarbons they found are the result of dispersants or the emulsification of oil as it traveled away from the well.

    The first such plume detected by scientists stretched from the well southwest toward the open sea, but this new undersea oil cloud is headed miles inland into shallower waters where many fish and other species reproduce.

    The researchers say they are worried these undersea plumes may are the result of the unprecedented use of chemical dispersants to break up the oil a mile undersea at the site of the leak.

    Hollander said the oil they detected has dissolved into the water, and is no longer visible, leading to fears from researchers that the toxicity from the oil and dispersants could pose a big danger to fish larvae and filter feeders such as sperm whales.

    “There are two elements to it,” Hollander said. “The plume reaching waters on the continental shelf could have a toxic effect on fish larvae, and we also may see a long term response as it cascades up the food web.”

    Not sure if anyone else noticed but FAS is screaming higher. So glad I bought it at 21 the other day, just after I sold FAZ. I love triple exposure.

    Good luck to all.

    Protect your ass-ets.

    In this market, you can probably trade large caps quite well just keying off the Euro/Yen cross, and then going flat by the bell.

    Tomorrow is a whole ‘nother day….

    PKX will roll. China is talking about cutting rebates on Chinese steel producers which will effectively allow the Japanese and Korean steel producers to undercut the Chinese exporters and increase sales.

    CAGC, which I picked up this morning, and RDN kicked ass today.
