Can you please stop pretending you know what’s going on? Wait, let me rephrase that, since some of you are really dense. Can you shut the fuck up already?

One month ago, everyone was predicting the end of the Euro as we know it. The dollar was charging higher and the market was sucking horse balls. There was a record short position in the Euro and the funeral arrangements for the EU was being coordinated. Then, something odd happened. Holy fuck, a short squeeze! People got fucked inside of their smart cars, short Euro, amidst a historic run in the bullshit currency. As a result, the dollar has declined by about 10% and the market has increased the same amount.

Hmm, that’s interesting, isn’t it?

It’s all bullshit people. Just as the Euro was dead in the water last month, as we speak, the same people are making funeral arrangements for the dollar. Pleasssssssssee, shut the fuck up. Thank you.

There have been some very interesting cross-currents, especially in oil, yen and gold. However, for the most part, the run on the dollar is all related with risk being “back on.” It’s as simple as that; go ask your local European banker for confirmation. Now, if you want me to believe, after a 1,000 point rally, the market has a lot of room to run, you are kidding yourself—for I do not believe in anything, especially sustainable trends. We are in the final month of the summer. Most big traders are on vacation and the junior guys are coked out of their fucking faces, acting all retarded and shit. It is my belief, as I am entitled to have opinions, the market will pullback in September. Actually, this is quite funny, me having to beg your pardon to voice an opinion.

Also, it’s important to note a point I’ve made here 10,000 times: I am not short stocks. Although I may bitch about how overvalued they are, I have more longs than my singular downside hedge, VXX, almost by a factor of 2. There is a big difference between airing an opinion and taking action. I hope some of you will continue to offer counsel and subsequently fuck a bag of fresh clams.

“The Fly” does things with panache. He is making a list and will be sure to eat everyone’s livers, before the summer ends.

    I find it curious that the fly’s whereabouts could not be accounted for, when an unknown individual tossed a lit firecracker on Ahmadinejad’s lawn

    Definitely a factor in this FX Dollar rally. It is all starting to make sense now. Starting WW3 is a small price to pay, for winning an argument with Jake.

          You can find it in your dairy aisle – right next to the Cheezus of Nazareth.

            LOL. “Cheez-its of Nazereth?’

            Reminds me of my Dad, who eschewed profanity during Giant games by substituting “Cheese and Crackahs!” for the more blasphemous epithet.

    Fly – I believe the problem is a matter of reading comprehension. Maybe Jeremy can change the spam protection from a mathematical problem to a reading comprehension problem. I’m sure that would weed out at least a few of the pretenders.

      It has been going up since May. If you recall, the market was bad from May to June. The odd part is no pullback since then.

      Why?

    How to eat human liver.
    Cut the liver into strips and put in the pan with some oil.

    Cook about 4-5 minutes.
    Slice a couple of onions and throw it in after the liver has turned slightly brown.
    Add a couple of minced fresh garlic cloves,a tad soy sauce, 2 tsp. sherry and 1 tsp. sugar
    Cover and simmer on low for 10 minutes.

    Correuct, the double top in the dollar in mid June of this year at right around the price it had topped at both the end of November, 2008 and the first week of March 2009 has nothing to do with the current rally in the markets.

    It’s all just a silly coincidence! Ben Bernanke hasn’t engineered this entire bullshit recovery at all, it’s been based purely on fundamentals!

    (/sarcasm)

    Serious now:

    Yes, “risk is back” on, because the fucking dollar carry trade is back on.

    How about you designate one of your PREMIUM Bloggers (or one that SHOULD BE) to rant about currency on a somewhat timely fashion..??????

    Possibly if someone WAS paying attention they would have seen the YEN go for strength before the actual market started tanking…earlier…like a day before.

    Its those little DETAILS that pay off sometimes

    Fly,
    I’ve said this before, you have the best bloggers to back you up on any financial website.
    You all provide a unique perspective on the markets.
    Can’t ask for more than that.
