Hubris Gets You Nowhere

“The Fly” is very humble, despite doing the “gorilla dance” for his internet spectators. If I was full of hubris, I would have positioned heavily short weeks ago and lost a great sum of money in the process. Many of you were balls to the wall long yesterday, based upon the theory of “free money” and unlimited gains.

NOTHING IN LIFE IS FREE. And nothing great is accomplished without pain and suffering. I remind you of this when you are hurting, so you can remember it in the future.

Enough of the lecturing. Here’s what I am doing.

I sold out of the 10,000 shares of EDZ, purchased at the close of trading yesterday. And, due to the severity of the pullback, I am now looking at some names that are OVERSOLD, flagged by The PPT. I am looking at high percentage plays only. I will likely refrain from buying anything today, due to the momentum of this sell off. However, it’s worth noting, I expect the market to rebound within 5 trading days. Oversold names worth perusing include CRS, FLS, ANF and HON. Within the upside ETF’s, TNA, UWM and QLD offer significant upside potential, on a bounce.

One thing that should remain constant is weakness in crude.  Look at the trannies and how fucked they are and think to yourself: “does oil belong at $80+?”

I think not.

Top picks: SCO, VXX

    I would say the PPT number is the New York Mets team batting average multiplied by Mike Pelfrey’s wins thus far.

    I shorted north of 1900 and reversed south of 1850
    I intend to get short again at a higher price

    Oil has every fundamental and technichal reason to be trading at 60 or below.

    But, if Iran clogs the Hormuz straight, oil goes up 30% overnight.

    Ive heard the pentagon is ordering millions of these units for deployment. But , the shipment might not make it there in time.

    And thus, civilization collapsed not with a whimper, but with a “BAAM!”

    Despite the market scaring the bejeebers out of the bulls today, I’ve started nibbling on a CREEpy stock.

    Call it the Costanza hubris trade.
