Recipe for Green

Yen down, Euro up, Treasuries down, oil up and BP tame equals a higher stock market.

For client accounts, I closed flat, as my newly formed VXX position negated my long directional bets. However, in my personal accounts, which are far more aggressive, I made stellar gains, as I reversed my FAZ position and went long TNA. Additionally, I bought a sizable position in STI, for personal gain only.

All in all, today was a solid rebound day. It’s also worth noting, The PPT called it again. However, despite today’s run, I am 20% hedged in VXX.

Good day to all of you.

        Tim Knight used to post his results. Then the loser barely made money during the epic collapse he waited for all his life, then got absolutely poleaxed as the market ripped the “world is ending crowd” a new asshole going the other way. Since then, he pulled his results from his page, and turned it into a guest blog thing, where a bunch of permatards stroke each other while refusing to consider the other side of the trade. Plus he’s an arrogant ass to boot. Fuck off, Tim.

    Thought this was interesting.
    Some hedge fund guy bought all of Europe’s cocoa supply, took delivery, and put it in a warehouse.
    So I figured that if there was a cocoa etf (or etn) that it must be on fire.
    Guess I was wrong and shows strange some of these commodity etfs (or etns ) are these days.

          Everything is connected and the F/X market is the big dog with global equities it’s tail that they wag….Loonie and RBA minutes tonight could either boost the risk on plays or spook all those that are trying to take eur/usd up to 1.3100. Market likes to retest to build strenght if it wants to take our resistance….in many cases.

    Fly, I have been thinking about the Matrix Metaphore all day on your other blog. As one that is soooo out of it, I realize that I have to learn to tap into it ala Trinity or Neo….really hard to make that cross cuz I keep wanting everyone to wake up and see the Matrix for what it is…..great metaphore….and I must realize that they don’t see it and never will…., it really makes total sense.

    If the market sells off in the morning but climbs back to rally by the close then I will have some faith in its ability to get some mojo back in the short term.

    Give me fifty points a day for awhile followed by a big push after the euro stress test.

    Both earnings and outlooks are not bad… The market is just confused at the moment (happens all the time)

      the price of stocks will decline due to lack of interest…when futures trading becomes easily accessible by the masses in the 4th quarter

    There is no doubt that oil is going to go up and it will stay going up until there is another alternative or demand drops by about 20% worldwide. I don’t anticipate either of those happening barring something on the order of commercially viable fusion or an event of apocalyptic and Biblical proportion…..Therefore……oil is going up. The line about bringing 5MM barrels on line each year from new sources just to keep things flat pretty much tells the whole story.

    Hyperinflation…your joking right?

    Credit expansion is over, household balance sheet repair is in process. Interest rates are on the floor, consumers do not want to borrow, even if banks wanted to the lend their is no one to lend to.

    How do you get h-inflation without credit expansion/ consumer spending growth

      The Federal Reserve is more than willing to accept cash for treasuries. They rein in credit vis a vis GSE and MBS purchases to push rates lower, in addition to providing interest on excess reserves. They are contracting credit, look at money supply.

      The problems in Europe remain in my opinion as countries with strong balance sheets go to austerity and in effect tighten the grip on weak export-centric Euro currency based countries. As the Euro appreciates the weak exporters will face difficulties as a result of a centralized monetary policy independent from fiscal authoritative measures.

      I think we could see some decoupling of correlation trades as a result of the yuan de-pegging from the dollar. That would give an explanation of UST up, Euro up, and USD down. From what I’ve read, they will continue to track the Euro. On top of downgrading the US credit risk by their bullshit credit rating agency, what are they fucking thinking? We pose a greater credit risk compared to Europe? Thinking back to the Geithner G-20 party and news headline pressure we put on China at that time concerning currency manipulation, they should be viewed as compliant with our wishes of trade equality.

      The conclusion is thus, repatriation of inflation and a possible balance of US trade as a result of lower valued currency (on a longer timeline).
