Euro Rapery

The market is not fancy on seeing the Euro choke, while the Yen flourishes. There are all sorts of ominous cross currents that puts me in a box. On one hand, I have never seen The PPT spit out an OVERSOLD reading without a decent bounce transpiring shortly thereafter. On the other, this time is different.

I know it’s very cliche of me to say so. As Mrs. Fly would say “suchness is sooo overrated.”

While I do not know what the fuck that means, nor do I bother asking, it’s worth noting that there is a certain amount of genius built into statements that mean absolutely nothing. It takes a lot of skill to say nothing.

Back to the market.

I am getting RINO’d in this fucking RINO, deservedly so. What in the world am I doing buying low end chicoms, in the midst of a fucking meltdown. I deserve the losses, AND MORE. Furthermore, I am enjoying pivot kicks to the scrotum in GS, ATPG and GLDD as well. With VXX and FAZ barely up, my losses are outstripping my gains, making Le Fly a very unhappy space alien.

With credit default swaps widening across the board and the Euro diving, be very careful about taking on aggressive long only strategies. Trust me, I am much smarter than you, certified by IQ tests and have been banking coin in this market, ever since puberty.

Top picks: Short MET, long TNA

UPDATE: I sold out of my FAZ position @ $16.80. Respecting the Hybrid.

    I would guess somehow you are still winning even though you are losing?

    That Xerox add is really annoying. Taking over my screen is not a good selling point.

      My weekend scans produced more evening stars than Jake has four syllable words (to express his one syllable thoughts.) Insurers HCC and PFG were among them.

    suchness is a central concept in buddhism, and is of particular significance in zen buddhism expressing appreciation of the true nature of reality in any given moment.

    There are some scary murderholes out there today. Mortgage insurers, casino stocks, silver up 5% and copper down 2.5%, USG, and various tech names. A couple weeks ago MS said they were predicting downside resistance at S&P 1008 or close to it.
