Broken Clock Trading

This is getting redundant already. Pardon my emphatic demeanor. I am unable to cede my position, just so that Mother Market can swoop in and slice my balls off with her switchblade. You know damn well, if I sold VXX/TZA and bought XXV/TNA, I’d lose my limbs in the GREAT CRASH OF 2010.

At this point, I am just being stubborn, sustaining myself by eating my own liver. We are up about 9% in 9 days on the Nasdaq. For the love of dead dogs and infectious diseases, the market will bow to my demands, one way or another. Just know this, the longer it defies me the greater the pain will be for many of you later. Yes, it’s true, I am envious of not partaking in such low end gambits. However, I warm myself with the blood of those I have killed during previous mortal combat engagements.

I bought more VXX/TZA today, as it is my right to do so. Having sold the majority of my longs, for the first time since April, my bias is net short.

I fucking hate this market and want it to die in a pig-pen, filled with zombie goats, and umm, pigs.

Off to blow up a few Japanese eateries.

    Lets be honest….the market is 5 points from breaking through yuge resistance at 1130. Is there anyone at this point who thinks that is not going to happen?

    This is a done deal. They will probably run it to 1150 and then face some resistance.

    Fuckers.

      How about this scenario

      Jobs report is Bullish. Combined with yen intervention, that could give the dollar VERY strong support here.

      That would be fairly damaging to EEM and XLB. They’d have serious trouble making further upside.

      Not so fast … the trend is bullish but it is time for a contraction before we make the serious move higher. Here’s the OEW daily recap to put you at ease:

      > We have labeled the SPX hourly chart (link below) as Minute wave one at SPX 1105, Minute wave ii at SPX 1091, Minute wave iii at SPX 1127 and Minute wave iv at SPX 1115 this morning. This suggests the market should make another high, at or above SPX 1127, to complete five Minute waves up from that 1041 low. These five waves should only complete Minor wave 1 of Intermediate wave three for this uptrend. Review Intermediate wave one on the hourly chart to get an idea of how the waves of this type of structure unfold. After this new high is hit we may get the largest pullback since this rally began. Thus far the largest pullback has only been 14 points. With the SPX now in the 1120’s the OEW pivot at 1090 again becomes the major focus for any pullbacks during the uptrend. <

          We could test the 1090 pivot before an extended move up … we are just about done completing the 5 minor waves up in this leg and after a pullback (1090?) we will have 5 intermediate waves up followed by a pullback, then 5 major waves up …. get it?

            not really, but we seem to agree.

            I think the pullback we get is a la 7/16. in a word, bear trap.

            but we’ll see.

            crystal ballin’ (as oppose to regular ballin’) I say we pullback 30-50 points, then make a measured move to 1200 area.

            That’s assuming we break this range, which according the the rule of three, we should.

            can’t wait to find out though.

    This market is determined to make EVERYONE lose. Similar to the team-killing griefer in your favourite FPS game, Mother Market runs about with sacks of live grenades with pins pulled, drenched in jet fuel and smoking Philip Morris, all the while delivering brass-knuckled punches to the scroti of unsuspecting teammates. The only ways to win are:
    A.) DO NOT PLAY
    B.) Have a plutonium-powered time machine and balls of depleted uranium

    If you don’t have B, you’d best do A.

    Regardless of the close or what happens tomorrow Really Nice scalp off the lows with TZA and VXX today.

    Never a bad idea to short at resistance even if you are wrong to me at least .
    I’ll do it at every wide range top or bottom range long or short with tight stops say .22%-.50% above resistance or below support they don’t always hit but when they do it makes them all worth while .

    Usually when around I Put on day trades too with em most the time and try to compensate stop price and entry price with fast trades at times works good most times and others not great lol , but keep losses small and admit I’m wrong quick then move on to the next one and so on and so forth . Would not recommend it to most people though this way .

    Good luck to all with trades

    “We are not drowning in a deep sea of vomit, no, not yet! As a matter of fact, rest assured, we are near the end of the recent market sell off and will soon spring board higher. Once this occurs, sentiment will change and people will become stupidly bullish again, just in time for my most appropriate departure from equities.”

      he was 100% correct, before he became 100% wrong. This one is going to hurt. This market does not sell down anymore. 9% in 9 days begets another 9% in 9 days. Believe me, I wish he was right, but the longer this goes on, the more it is hurting. I am about to give up, which will be the time to short most likely.

    I’m going to buy TZA and VXX, since your Disclaimer says ” If you buy the above stocks because of this post, your only son will become an avid Tea Party organizer.” Since the guy who pays tea party organizers is the CEO of the second largest privately held company by revenue in the United States, and the 3rd richest person in the U.S. after Gates and Buffett, my son would be then be able to support his parents in the fine style that they would like to become accustomed to. I know, it’s the Devil’s money , since the Tea Partiers don’t make any sense at all; they are pissed off but have no actual ideas, But with all the money we’ll be rollin’ in, maybe we’ll contribute to some political organization that actually has a few constructive ideas to solve national problems.

      So George Soros backs MoveOn-dot-org. So what? Somebody’s grandfather worked with Stalin, so what? Bush’s Grandfather worked with Nazi’s– so what? Soros is a financial terrorist, willing to bring down the Bank of England or a poor country like Malaysia for financial gain.

        Actually, it was Soros who worked for the Nazi’s — and yes, even though he’s a Jew.

        Google it, no shit. 60 minutes even did a piece on it.

        As for the no-brain numbnutz who thinks the Tea Party folks “have no ideas” you need a serious deep immersion civics lesson on the basic tenets of this country.

        For one thing it’s not based on “Solving national problems” — it’s based on individuals being left alone and government being too small to bother them. I think you’ll find “national problems” are solved a shitload of a lot more efficiently that way.

    >>At this point, I am just being stubborn, sustaining myself by eating my own liver.<<

    Look at the little megaphone pattern on the daily SPY chart. This market is done within a day or two, and it will go down a lot faster than it went up. The only reason it hasn't gone down already (and stayed down) is because everyone with a macro-analytical brain in his head knows that's exactly what it SHOULD do, and thus is positioned accordingly. Nevertheless, when the earnings disappointments arrive en masse (and they will), nothing will be able to hold up this market.

    Debt Summit is near…

    The fuckery overseas with the Banks was a test model to rate impact of debt forgiveness/ restructuring…listen for “no big deal” meeting of Country heads disguised as some kind of environmental or group ‘think tank’ to assess over all condition of Trade agreements in general.
    A Timer has been set to measure the Yen/ Japanese Market boost….A “Trillion more” was released to public as a gauge to measure negative impact as well and adjustments will be made.
    A plan is in the works, the details will be hammered out inside that meeting place….trade deals will replace “we owe U’s”…preferred status…duties lifted…doors opened…barriers down… in lieu of…etc.

    This will occur while most of you are holding shorts to the bottom…. (weekend most likely)

    an announcement will be made World wide with Country heads standing side by side smiling like shit swallowing monkeys..

    There are 2 times to work on your calves a week
    1. On Legs Day

    SQUAT like your an oil derrick…GO HEAVY
    Leg press next… GO SUPER HEAVY at the end of each press extend for calves
    Do goodmornings at the end of your leg set…stretch

    2. Every other day

    You cannot over work forearms and calves
    Do some cardio 30 min
    Then put on some Kid Rock find a calve press machine and get to work
    the key is to load up the weight and hold the peak of the press and decline…you must rip the muscle apart
