Fly Buy: VXX

I bought 20,000 VXX, sub $27.60.

Disclaimer: If you buy VXX because of this post, the BP oil gusher will lead to the eventual end of the world as you know it. And, you may lose money.

    I’m with you baby. Bought 10000 TZA as a hedge. We have butted up against resistance repeatedly.

        Oh, OK…I was talking about how great I think Fly was in his blog yesterday and I thought he stopped by. I always have to ask if I see a name close to one I know.

    Fly that audio regarding the earth fractured and oil armageddon is riveting.

    Everyone should take a listen to that.

    One thing I know for sure… AAPL is selling alot of freaking iPhone 4’s.

    It is impossible to order online – site keeps crashing
    Can’t call them – they are not accepting calls due to extremely high volume.

      Yes, that’s correct, the best time to hedge is after all hell breaks loose and everyone is bidding up “safety” securities and your positions are down 4% across the board…

    For the last week, oil has been strongly surprising to the upside. Commodity currencies are breaking out from double bottoms (AUD NZD). CRB as well, add a few softs like sugar and mix it with gold. This could be an inflection point where reflation comes back. And the strongest reflation theme has been the spx. Never against hedging, but too early… it seems.

    All am saying is there could be some follow thru.

      Dude, please change your Gravatar ASAP! That is grotesque.
      This is coming from a zombie fresh out of the graveyard.

      The Fly is God.

            Well… he probably realizes it is all in good humor… I have actually been reading his blog for some time and find it superb but he doesn’t need my reassurance.

    Too many unknowns in tonight’s presidential speech. It’s going to be very hard to rally into close. We’ll have a hard time closing +100 or greater. He could say anything. This realization should hit longs during the last hour panic.

      Agreed…expecting a firm kick-ass tone from the Prez as he vents outrage against BP for pHukin up the GoM, but it’s all just grandstanding to get back some of the public support he’s lost. Shouldn’t do much to help rally.
