You didn’t think I could forget about today or this week and get drunk like the rest of you losers, did you? I have nothing to celebrate.
I am not going to give opinions in this post. Instead, I will offer up some statistical facts, for your perusal, and to confuse you a little bit.
Man, the dollar sucks. It’s getting fucking killed right? Over the past two weeks it’s down 4.21%. Whoa, holy fucknuts. Wait a second, year to date it’s only down a whopping 0.48%. Hmmm.
Next.
Gold is this years winner, up 18.05%. Hey, do you want to know the only asset class that is outperforming gold, aside from silver (+26%)? How about TLT? BINGO. Correct. TLT is up 18.38%, ytd.
Copper? Nah, only up 5.5%.
Financials? Up 1.88%
Oil? I mean, with the dollar tanking to the tune of 0.48% this year, oil must be up huge. Nope. Down 14.99%, which is leagues better than natty—down more than 36%.
How about SPY? Well, it’s up 9.4% over the past month, the biggest gain in 71 years. However, for the year, I’m afraid it’s barely up 4%.
Material stocks? +3.9%.
Do you get my drift?
We might spring board higher and close out the year with spectacular gains or reverse lower and clown rape everyone, including David Tepper (if I see you at Short Hills mall, you’re catching a pizza slice to the mustache). But it’s important to take a step back sometimes, block out the noise, and see what is really working here. It’s easy to get caught up in emotionally charged, catalyst driven markets. But, if you take a look at things from a longer time frame, the true trend crystallizes. Is money really fleeing the dollar because of inflation fears? If that was the case, wouldn’t it be down more, ytd? Gold is awesome, but so is LQD, JNK and TLT.
Investors have been chasing yield. Maybe that will change. Perhaps the economy will rebound and banks will soar 50% from here. However, we already had the monster run in 2009. That was the easy money, just like 2003. To me, I view 2010 like 2004, the year after the big rally. During 2004 and 2005, we pretty much traded flat, as the market consolidated its gains. Looking at the year to date stats, and blocking out the last two weeks, that’s exactly what we have been doing.
Just a little late night perspective for you dick sucking ball jugglers.

Obviously, the Fly has been flown to Guantanimo for excessive interrogations and torture and an imposter has assumed the throne.
Go fuck a dog.
I stand corrected.
Some of us are drinking and working.
All great points…
Couldn’t you also view it as though the risk assets have been turned on for the second half of the year and perhaps it’s only getting started? I mean its been a parabolic second half thus far and we are up 4%??? I could see us talking 12 – 15% gains by year end with the whole recovery/QE2 scenario.
of course. But then again you are only assuming that is the case. More often than not, following big month rallies, we retrace.
It’s easy to forecast what might happen in two months. Hell, look at my 2010 predictions and tell me they are not space alien accurate
http://ibankcoin.com/flyblog/category/predictions-for-2010/
I am simply stating facts.
I do expect some type of pullback… maybe take s&p down -2 ytd again sometime in oct only setting up for the mother of all rallies15% or so from there by year end.
Your predictions were quite accurate
The markets rarely go down in Nov. If it is going to pullback, it will be on Oct.
they said September is bad for stocks, too. i bet the farm Sep would suck, too.
however, this is on track to be the best September in 71 years.
$#!T
and they rarely go up in September, too
I am beginning to believe seasonality means absolutely jack shit. It worked great in May and June but otherwise has been craptacular.

Fly … what about the Presidential cycle? We just bottomed in July (?) and they last more than a few months, no?
Well done sir.

Not sure. Find me some data.
Silver. YESSSS!!! I bought a shitload of it a year and a half ago.
Fly, your attitude has changed recently. I liked it a lot more when you were clown raping everyone etc with the aggressive talk. It is much more suited for a trader like oneself. I am looking forward to this in the future. I find myself net short over the weekend and yet I still think the market is going higher in next two weeks. Go figure. Have a good weekend Fly and I can’t wait for your excessive lovely remarks.
No intended sarcasm in the above. Just my tipsy self unwilling to review grammar remarks. Do you plan any time soon to put up some companies to go under/get demolished ? Thanks
Humility is never a bad thing.
I like FLY better when he is cocky and overly aggressive. As far as I am concerned… provided he is up for the year no humility is needed
Aggressive? Lol tough to be aggresive when you are bear in a bull market.

From Investopedia:
“Historically the stock market typically tops out during the first year of a new presidents term before bottoming in year two. During Obama’s current term, the stock market topped out in April and the 52-week low was set in July. If the cycle works as it typically has in the past, the low will be set in 2010 and the average rally from that low to the high of the following year (2011) would be approximately 50%.”
the market bottomed july 1 at SPX 1011 … He predicted 944 in May and missed it by 67 pts … pretty good work. If he’s right now, we rally into Jan 2011 to almost 1300.
Teahouse:
He also said that the market could bottom in either July or October in a Presidential Cycle. I would not rule out a 20% correction in Oct to 950. we’ll see
Fly … forget about macros (you taught me that) and consider a bull market cycle that is at it’s most powerful point coinciding with the presidential cycle … technically driven or helped along by gov’t fuckery but happening and not just here but globally … don’t miss a reply of the 09′ run especially another 50% because fundamentals haven’t confirmed yet.

This post is all about price action. No fundies
I think the markets are now convinced that we will have a ZIRP environment “forever” (with the market defining “forever” as at least a year) and that the economy is muddling along just enough (1% to 1.5% growth) to allow 12-month forward corporate earnings to at least remain right where they currently are (say, $81 to $83 on a run-rate basis on the SPX), and thus– due to ZIRP– the market may now allow some multiple expansion. As an example, 15x $83 would bring the SPX to 1245, and 16x would bring it to 1328. “Normally”, of course, this would be nonsensical bullshit, as you don’t get multiple expansion in a flat-earnings environment with substantial risk to the downside, but yield-chasing ZIRP victims don’t “normally” exist, either.
The downside risk, of course, is that earnings don’t just flatten out here, but actually retrench. This could happen if GDP dips negative, or if earnings start declining due to margin compression because a declining dollar raises input prices while the slow economy doesn’t any sell-through pricing power.
I now see the upside risk (which is due to artificial, bullshit, future-of-America-destroying ZIRP) equally balanced with the downside risk (at least for now; eventually, the downside may win, but if the dollar is wrecked and it only wins in “real” terms, anyone short the market will get killed anyway, because the market is priced nominally).
In light of this, I covered all of my shorts right after the close yesterday in order to preserve my YTD gains (+19.8%), and am now sitting on DUSA and a lot of cash. Believe me, in light of how fucked up our economy currently is, it PAINS me not to be short here (especially with the market short-term overbought) but I’m just no longer convinced that “being short” has my requisite 2:1 probability advantage over being long.
The market is now free to crash.
fundies?
Looking at domestic stats doesn’t provide the rational for a bull market. Developed nations have short and long term problems economically but the emerging nations are providing the global growth to support our industrial complex and their component suppliers.
So while multinationals are improving and spreading the wealth (slowly) the market continues to climb the wall of worry. The returns on stocks can and will be superior to bonds and anecdotal evidence suggests managers are slowly moving out of bonds into stocks.
When banks succumb to an improving business climate and want/need better returns they will loosen their purse strings and the velocity of money will explode.
CapEx demand by natural resource based countries and rising standards of living by those buying their wares will put more and more pressure on the need/demand for more electrical power, agricultural products and housing in those nations which in turn will fuel our domestic suppliers.
The market has a time machine just as The Fly does and anticipates well ahead of fundamental statistics … wait for confirmation and be late to the party if you will.
Our manufacturing base is mean and lean and any meaningful growth will provide a surge in profits like we’ve never witnessed before … think nifty fifties when you bought GM when the PE was 60 and sold it when the PE was 3.
2004 was the 2nd year of a 6 year (credit) bull market. We just had one of the best September’s ever for credit with new issuance getting gobbled up. There isn’t enough yield out there for pension funds/endowments to make their 8%/yr to fund liabilities. Perhaps that is why the underlying bonds don’t flinch anymore when the idiot hedge funds start pushing CDS’s wider. In theory, it should be like put/call parity but its not. How can CDS’s blow out on US gov’t debt buy yieldsdrop? The markets have become fucked up casinos where momentum (macro) rules. The best risk/reward is only possible if you run billions and can take advantge of the arb between the fucked up CDS market and credit/equity mkts. And while I’m at it, yes, deflation will ultimately prevail, but how many folks went out of biz running money betting on the housing colapse in 2006? We are too early on in a new credit cycle for deflation to stick. Period. Fly is still the best mkt timer I’ve seen and its ok to miss a zig or zag. I’ve been impressed with how little money Fly actually risked/lost expressing his opinion. But the rules/trend has changed, how quickly can we figure out the new game…I know i haven’t (yet).
Dear Mr. Fly,
Honestly, I was going the same way as you (trading) on the market short reversal.
Your open opinions, (although slightly off timed) will be vindicated, my dear Fly friend.

ahhhhhhhh…..You forgot someone, look at the Shanghai Comp for this year. Let me get this right, China is why we are doing so well. Funny they led the way in 2008 and 2009….so why should we think it should be different?
You know China Govt has been like gossipy little girls on how they are going to have a new Property tax come out before Oct 1 holiday….again, they are trying to slow things down, while US thinks everything will go faster….totally doesn’t make sense to me at all?
Totally make sense to me.
I guess you are right…reading back articles the SRB of China messed around with the Copper suplies in 2004, 2005, 2007,2008, 2009…you know what totally amused me, I saw an ad at Reuters looking for a person in China to investigate the SRB secret stockpiles, China keeps it a State Secret…I feel like Zero Hedge with my tin hat, but I am really amazed that everyone believes that China is actually using all the copper it is importing and that Global Growth is so strong…..and only getting stronger…2004 rally had SRB in buying…in 2005 I was reading about a “rouge” trader shorting copper in the LME and many argued he was an agent of china govt cuz they were going in to sell it some of it’s supply….
sorry about the typos above…you know I never proof read….BUT OMG, today I was going to reread that Reuters Ad, I posted the link in my trading diary on the 25th, BUT it was taken down http://jobs.thomsonreuters.com/find.job?job=error.404 …sooooo tin hat stuff.

Not sure I’d go that far, but there are definately some inconsistencies in the official story. Lobby explosion, white smoke from the base before 747 (thermite), massively overheated rubble, 3rd building collapse, the fact that in 2001 fighter jets turned 67 aircraft out of their airspace, then on Sept 11, over 30 fighter jets (every single one of them) were all sent on 18 separate “training missions” instead of protecting the pentagon… Those are the high-lights of the “inconsistencies” as I’ve seen them.

Money never sleeps was very good. Good acting. Gecko i think wanted to finish with showing a humanistic side to himself, and be loved, not just admired by the want to be’s. Lets face it, if were losing any money here, it’s probably because we made a greedy decision that put us there. My loses have come with no one to blame but myself. I may lose, but will win again..the important thing for me is that if i lose, i have to come back better than i was before to win. However many times that may take. “quiters never win, and winners never quit” we just keep getting stronger.
Nice summary Dr. Fly. I’d love a trending market (up or down) to finish out the year with a grand slam. Hitting singles and doubles with the PPT hasn’t been so bad though. A couple of strikeouts lately, but it not so bad when the score is 40 to 4 (or 3). I’ll take that win any day.
I’m looking forward to the PPT enhancements.
The Fed has been printing up tons of dollars, trying to get the economy moving. But people and companies have just locked the $ up in their vaults. There is no circulation. Once the money comes out and people start spending and investing the circulation will begin. Then velocity will be like a big stone rolling down a muddy hill. The inflation is easy to theorize. But it ain’t happening yet.
The circulation is in the Treasuries, which they are buying, hence the great TLT move.

Fly said: “How about SPY? Well, it’s up 9.4% over the past month, the biggest gain in 71 years.”
Not to question you, but here are the percent returns of a few months:
October 74 – 16.3
January 75 – 12.3
January 76 – 11.8
This was preceded by a 33% decline and followed a 10% decline over the next year.
August 82 – 11.6
October 82 – 11.04
This was preceded by a 33% decline and followed by another 30% rally over the next 5 months
January 87 – 13.1
This was 2 months before the 87 crash
March 2000 – 9.7
This marked to top of the market.
—
In my opinion, our situation is most comparable to the early 70s in which the market will be flat/down over the course of the next year.
—-
I should note that this month does mark the largest gain, currently 100 points since that March 2000 top (120 pts).
i have made an error. ten months before the 87 crash, not two.
And that great September, 71 years ago, was the month Hitler invaded Poland.

I’m guessing the usd pivots here mid week. Not forgetting the negative corr w spx is a strong but imperfect approx .75
If we look at spx Chart weekly from 07: the top part of wedge with points at Oct 07, Apr ‘2010, and now. Bottom part pf wedge begins march ’09. We are at the apex of a multiyear drama being played out this month. We are due for the mother of all brerakouts.

JNK +54%.
Gold +46%.
Silver +80%.
Dollar -10% (in June it was breakeven).
Non-seasonally adjusted CPI-U using 1982 as par is +2.6% since March 2009. YTD CPI-U is +0.75%.
Real hmmm
That is ridiculous. The market was too cheap back then
True, but that was when a major monetary policy change took place when you look at the market on a continuous timeline. You can place your starting point anywhere to assess returns on a relative perspective but it’s merely a construct of the flow of capital based upon momentum or value given a specific event or relegated market participant performance metric like a calendar date such as January 1, XXXX.
I’m just saying it’s interesting that TLT has changed little on an absolute basis while riskier assets have flourished and inflation has been tepid.

Hey FLY,
You don’t really believe that Shia LeDouche turned $20,000 into $650,000…..that would be 3,150% and in what like less than a year……….I’m calling his statement about that some kind of PR marketing hype to get people excited about the movie. Or he meant he turned $20,000 into $650…..LOL
I mean really is some guy that never traded before going to come in right out of the gate and out-perform such a Distinguished Gentleman as yourself that has managed to produce somewhere in the neighborhood of 300% on your riskier personal endevor portfolio and he is claiming over 3,000%……….Like I said I call Bullshit on that one!

thanks for that descriptive visual ….Ouch!
i agree with Fly’s assessment of the movie…Stone was close but missed a chance for crazy greatness here ala “JFK.” I think this is because of the plot’s fixation on Gekko’s relationship w/ his barely-stable haggus of a daughter. The entire world has gone soft. Sigh. And what about the crazy old guy Bankster making those whistling noises? WTF was that about. Another thing I don’t get – without being a plot spoiler – is Gekko’s behavior in the last half our or so of the movie. Just this side of a Deus Ex Machina. Overall not a bad flick but a bit to much glitz and not quite enough bite..
We did get to see a lot of CNBC-personality cameos. Meh.

Finally, in general, I thought that the movie needed more face time with Gordon Gecko, as his character really made the first Wall Street what it was.

A nice woody for Bullish and the longs then prepare to put on your bear suit early 2012.
I’m excited.
One thing is for sure, the world is full of critics.
Just saw WS2 and thought it was solid, but it reflects the current state of cinema these days; nobody can write a totally unique story anymore. I don’t need a history lesson of the financial crisis, rather I think they should have built more of a story around Bretton and the oil craze, not the other bullshit. Pretty decent movie overall, but lacked the cleverness and wit of the first. Loved the throwbacks to the first one and parallels to reality throughout. Bird whistling guy fucking ruled too.
Anyone else notice how horrible every movie preview was prior to the feature too? Christ, short the studios.
Fuck all that noise though. Tonight, Shelby County’s own Kenny Powers is BACK!!!! (That’s right Fly, 4. Insane.)
Blind leading the the blind lmao all of you bearshiters are fucked. Prepare to be demolished this week because I said so.
OK. If you say so.
Prepare to be axed and thrown into a wood chipper.
