Splendor, Tenacity, Vigor and Well-Doing

Those are all of the words used to express my feelings about this tape. I sincerely hope you are capitalizing on this window of opportunity and cease using me as a contra-indicator. You figured after my VXX loss that when I went “all in” bullish, hell, the market was certain to plunge. When in reality, it was your own hubris that blinded you from the fact that I possess greater skills than you and my short-comings are nothing more than anomalies, flash in the pans. The longer term trend for The House of Fly is up, with honor and great repetition.

Closing out this post today, I am proud to be long CENX, EXK, REXX, AKS, CCJ, C, TEVA, even FORM (just to name a few).

    I am short most everything but somehow survived the week up…my goal is to remain short everything until i am proven correct. I will survive by selectively flippings dips to offset continued losses.

      Do not fear….here is the latest: Two additional indicators have become overbought. The short term outlook for the stock market has changed
      from bullish to neutral. Traders are advised to cash in profits ten minutes into today’s session.
      Five different indicators are now overbought. (1) Lipper has announced a net inflow of $8.0 billion into the
      equity mutual funds and equity ETF’s for the week through Wednesday. Net inflows of $7.0 billion or more
      are overbought. The net inflow of $8.0 billion is the largest weekly net inflow in more than a year.
      (2) Investors Intelligence has reported more than 50% bulls, 56.2% bulls, with 21.3% bears. The percentage of
      Investors Intelligence bulls has reached a three-year high. (3) AAII has also disclosed more than 50% bulls,
      53% bulls, and 23% bears. The AAII bullish percentage is the second-highest bullish percentage of the past
      two years. The AAII bearish percentage is the second-lowest level of bears in three years. (4) The reading for
      the CBOE equity put-call ratio has been low at less than .60 for nine consecutive sessions. Eight sessions in a
      row at a low level is overbought. The CBOE equity reading was .44 on Friday. (5) On Thursday an
      overbought uptick reading of +1048 had appeared at the close. It pointed to an interim top by today. About
      half the closing uptick readings of +1020 or more produce an interim top within the next two sessions, most
      often the following day.

        I will wait it out until i am right. I have no doubt that will occur within the next six weeks. After every deluge of good news comes at least a trickle of bad news. Maybe not until after xmas though.

        I like this one: “Traders are advised to cash in profits ten minutes into today’s session.”

        Appeared to be a good call… until it wasn’t. Basically the market opened above the previous Nov highs and re-traced to touch that level on the fucking dot. Then it took off.

        by the way its not like im outright bearish….however, the strength and duration of this move has caught me off guard. As far as Im concerned its too late to go outright long — so rather than just waiting in cash on the sidelines i scale down and see if i can catch some retracement before going long again. Probably better to just sit in cash but oh well…

    If anybody saw Bill Clinton as “President for a Day” today, in a joint press
    conference with Conceder-inChief Obama, they were rewarded.

    The Conceder left “to be with his wife”, while Clinton exhibited the mastery
    of policy detail and insight he is (rightfully) famous for.

    This shows why the Amendment that bars more than two Presidential terms
    is misguided, misplaced, and counterproductive.

    Clinton yet again showed why he is America’s BEST PRESIDENT EVER!

            During that time, they had a Repub pres, not Clinton any more, so they were totally in charge of everything— and we saw the results in the economic crisis. Anyone who is positively impressed with these results has dung for brains. Not that Clinton and the Dems didn’t screw most things up too. Both the Dems and Repubs are overall a disaster.

            I just get tired of hearing the same ole bs on message boards, as if the Repubs are angels (and as if they are the same as Libertarians, LOL) and as if the Dems devils. That’s usually from people who recite Fox News Glenn Beck propaganda because they can’t think for themselves. Get a clue, people. It’s propaganda. Big corporate Special Interests paid a fortune to cram it into your brain. There is a reason why Hitler loved the television. set

            http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1079415/Hitler-planned-Big-Brother-style-television-broadcast-Nazi-propaganda.html

            I’m not saying Rupert Merdoch or Glenn Beck are Hitler, just that TV is ideal for disseminating propaganda. It has worked on most folks I read messages from on the Internet. That’s for sure!

            Your point about propaganda reminds me of my first trip back to the States after moving overseas.

            I left the States in early 2003 so the US already had about a year and a half of post-9/11 fear under its belt. I didn’t return until 2005 so I was out of the loop for two years.

            When I got off the plane in the airport and was walking around there were these huge big screens placed throughout. On the screens was good old Dick Cheney rallying the troops and discussing how all these searches and other measures were for your own good. I understand the reasoning and don’t necessarily disagree; but it was the manner in which it was being presented that had me startled. I swear I thought I had stepped into a George Orwell novel, ‘cept this was real life. The fact they had Dick Cheney presenting the message was the strangest and scariest part.

            I literally stopped dead in my tracks for about a minute to take this all in. All the rest of the people were carrying on as if this were normal. Since I had not been subjected to the constant barrage of “The terrorists are everywhere and they are going to get you” for two years I guess I was not as jaded as everyone else.

            Beck’s latest propaganda is that 10% of Muslims are terrorists … What an idiot!

            According to Fareed Zakaria, there are 1.6 BILLION Muslims …. so according to Beck we have 157 Million terrorists spanning the globe … Guess that explains the Mayan prediction for 2012, right Beck?

            I think he meant that 10% support the agenda of the extremists, not that they are terrorists per se.

            That’s a lot more believable, given the lack of outcry in the Muhhamedenist community w. regard to various Islamic nutjobberies.

      I’m surprised that so many of you think that both parties are pro-US when you still have a private corporation controlling all of your money (bleeding you dry)! They call it the Federal Reserve. Ever hear of it? “Your party sucks” “No your party sucks”. The fact that none of them have had the balls to protect American interests from european bankers (Federal Reserve shareholders) shows just how much of a farce it is to poo-poo relatively minor policies (in light of the plank in your eye).

      Matthew 7:4-5. The Fed is your plank fools!

        Why should they protect American interests from European bankers? Or from the Chinese, the Saudis etc. Until we get campaign finance reform, the Congress folks and pres will have balls, just like they always have had– used only to defend their campaign donors’ interests. And campaign donors can keep their donations secret now, so the donors could be the Chinese or Saudi government, or the Iranian government for that matter, and no one would know. Until we search our communities for honest public-spirited folks who agreee to accept NO campaign contributions from big Special Interest Groups, and vote ONLY for them, we will continue to have a Congress and a pres that “dance with them that brought them.” They have plenty of balls, and gall. That is not the problem at all.

          I personally think that the gov’t should pay to host a their platforms on a side-by side website, with campaign donations from an individual or corporation capped at something reasonable. Like $3000 dollars.

        Hopefully the Giants approach playing D on Tavaris like they did with Vick.

        Favre has demonstrated his lack of common sense and discretion. He is indeed dead if he plays. The boy needs to hang up his spurs.

        Thing is, not sure which Giants team will take the field.

        The Metrodome is one loud place to play if you’re the visiting team and behind in the score.

    The gap between Copper (risk on) and Volatility (Risk off) has reached absolutely insane levels.

    Remember. These markets are highly correlated. The leadership stocks are still heavily tied to china’s progression. The commodity most sensitive to china;s health is still Copper (JJC). So , even if you are in a sector that doesn’t seem China related, you remain dependent on new highs in copper–by association.

    The only way the market can keep advancing is if Copper keeps rising, and Volatility keeps dropping. But pull up a daily or weekly chart of those two. Those that growing distance between them look sustainable?

    Fly, regarding where U should live: NC is indeed nice– Asheville is scenic, and Raleigh Durham has all the city stuff you might want. SC is pretty too. Florida and Louisiana are better for people who curse and speak frankly though. Parts of Florida are beautiful. New Orleans is below sea level so it floods But you can move across the Lake Ponchartrain from New Orleans, to Mandeville or Covington or the surrounding areas. They are on higher ground than New Orleans. Most fun people in the world live in New Orleans. Good restaurants of many different types there and across the lake from New Orleans too. Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, good music always. Super inexpensive to live. Not genteel Southern at all though. Very frank outspoken people– outspoken like NY but nicer people. But on average they do drink too much.

      You should move to the area across the lake from New Orleans, Fly. Believe me, New Orleans area idiots are more colorful and friendly than idiots in other places. Take a trip there and/or to Florida and see what you think– if you can stand the heat, which is another matter. The South is too hot for my tastes, so I moved to the Pacific Northwest. Great scenery, moderate temperature– only it rains all the time and you go for months without any sun. I guess no place is perfect.
