Take it Like a Man

Fuck running away from losses. Stand there, like a fucking man (even if you are a woman), and take the hits. It’s one fucking day, you ADD addled, ritalin taking homo—no offense to gay guys of course. Look for GDP estimates to come tumbling down, due to obvious signs of hitting a wall. Because of this factoid, the markets will get raped in September. However, that does not mean we cannot “feed the troll” before Wall Street’s veterans get back from their summer vacations. Take advantage of the stupid junior trading robots at Goldman, while you can. Those junior robots are stupid and have 1/5th of the microprocessors of their superior senior robot overlords.

Having said that, like my personal idol, George Bush, I am “going it alone,” long biased into a fucking weekend. ROFL. Ask me if I am scared; I fucking dare you.

As the clowns on CNBC monger around, like little peasants in Thai rice fields, “The Fly” is poolside, sipping on a cold glass of gasoline. Look, I got money to burn, motherfucker. Let rates collapse and foreclosures spike; I will only get richer.

As for this tape: it is bounded by the laws of mathematics to trade higher, before trading lower. Losses are expected and acceptable. Set backs are part and parcel of being an investor/trader. Do not fear the loss, embrace it. Hug it like it was your favorite stuffed animal, strapped with lit dynamite sticks. If you are scared, hedge your portfolios. I’ve been telling you to do that for months, ever since we entered the meat grinder. The fact that the markets are still above 10,000 is a fucking blessing, considering how low yields are. The upside, the silver lining if you will of rates being so low, is room for upside. Should bonds get hit, money will come flooding into equities, like a fucking Tsunami high on twenty eight balls of cocaine. If that shit doesn’t happen, well then, we’re fucked.

Happy trading.

      I would imagine the chatter goes along the lines like this:
      Israel: Oy Vey Mr. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Are you mishugina? Stop the nonsense and we will send you some of the finest Gefilte Fish and Brisket you ever tasted.
      Iran: Benjamin Netanyahu, May I call you Ben? Throw in some borscht and we will stop the enrichment. And will you tell that Obama guy to STFU
      Israel: Agreed on Obama and the food is on the way by way of IDF planes.
      Iran: One more thing Ben. I would like to open a strip bar in Jerusalem called Persian Delights.
      Israel: 50-50 split Mahmoud. Deal

Worst scenario, well, I’ll sit the next 1-1.5 months out, waiting for a return to these levels, minus the 5-10% 3x decay penalty.

    That’s the game, just accept it and embrace it – otherwise go get a nice 9-5 job with a 3h daily commute and a steady paycheck.

    I am also up like 9 out of the last 10 days. This type of market suits me perfectly. So impatient i take profits and reverse quickly, and that is working here.

    I am holding my long positions unless we close below 1060. Than I might get affeared.

    And i sold my VXX…..that’s not working like it was.

    Go to businessinsider blog and actually look at the Philly charts – all but a couple current & future indicators are lower now than they were in mid-09 at the worst of the recession. The pathetic little 72-hour beaten-down sold-off “tradeable” bounce ended lunchtime last tuesday and was pure mirage. Why again should we be above 940-ish?

    Judging from the last thread I bet most of you fucking faggots have never had a loaded gun pointed at your forehead or have been succumbed to execution style handgun submission. You losers have no idea what fear is. I would put a cigarette out on most of your faces, but thankfully because I do not smoke, I would hold your mouth open and envelop your lungs with moths.

          As for “having a gun stuck in my face,” why in the world would that change my mind about the legal ownership of firearms?

          You’d prefer only the dirtbags be armed?

            I have no problem with legal ownership, it’s just the barrier of entry is incredibly low and unfortunately people think they are cowboys and find a need to assert superficial power for little money and psychopathic quenching. If I owned a gun I certainly would not carry it around with me in a city and be compelled to shoot someone if threatened. There’s not much you can do with a wallet and a bunch of cards now these days so it’s easier just to comply. It’s annoying to hear people say that they buy guns with the intent to carry them around to protect themselves when they clearly cannot fathom the thoughts one goes through when threatened and the risk/rewards surrounding the decisions one must make in that situation.

            And yet, you are obviating the fact that the presence of “packing” individuals tends to give the true sociopathic predator element pause.

            Ghandi-like, I will tolerate the “cowboy element” that so rankles you for that bit of free social insurance.

            I admit that I was “scared shitless” about three years ago when my wife and I went to watch our son play a college golf tournament at Reynolds Plantation (Greensboro,GA area).
            We leave the side door of the motel about 6:30 AM and as I get ready to shut the door (one of those you open with your key card) I look up and there were about a half dozen cops with weapons drawn yelling at us to get out of the way and to “get down get down.”
            So we hit the dirt and I look up and there were about a dozen more county and State troopers rushing the place.
            We heard a shot or two and then about five minutes later they are hauling out a young thug who robbed a Zaxbys chicken place next door.
            I think I was more scared because I was defenseless and didn’t have any control over the situation

    FWIW, I started this tread in my Peanut Gallery Article on Breadth…this is latest…”I am still fine tuning it but so far (when I do my math correct) it has been working pretty good….it’s my Nymph take of Breadth…….I calculate S (Support) and R (Resistance) levels for NYSE Advance- Decline and NYSE Advance Volume – Decline Volume…..this was my anlysis last night based on closing data….”OK I am keeping this up…….for today, Thursday…..August 19, 2010 Analysis..OK we went thru support today nicely and tomorrow we have either a retest of that support or a continued freefall. TRIN is up to 2.85 and ISEE is 72…the TRIN is not super super high and ISEE is not super super low so we still have some gas in the tank if we want to continue the downtrend. For tomorrow Support Levels, Advance – Decline Volume = S1 -100,000,000 (VERY IMPORTANT ONE) S2 -400,000,000 S2-750,000,000 For Resistance it just needs to have a positive number, R2 1,000,000,000……….For Advance – Decline = S1 -2840 R1 340…………….So for tomorrow, because the Advance – Decline has alot more room to the downside and Advance – Decline Volume has such a key Support level so close, I would assume we test that support and if we can take on S1 on Adv/Decline Volume we can continue our downtrend nicely.”

    ‘Madam’ Nancy Pelosi’s Brothel

    The real ‘Madam’ in Washington DeCeased wants to investigate law-abiding citizens who oppose the Ground Zero mosque!
    This is Pelosi’s way to muddy the waters and draw attention away from her Marxist comrades with their criminal bent.
    But what she really wants to divert attention away from is the wide-open sex brothel she’s been protecting in her San Francisco district!
    Think I’m kidding? Just Google “Madam Nancy Pelosi’s brothel district” which is in the latest version of “Imam Bloomberg’s Sharia Mosque.”
    Nancy reminds us of an Egyptian travel poster: SEE NILE! But there’s actually nothing wrong with her appearance that a 10-point earthquake couldn’t fix!
