Oh Dear, the Drama…it’s Very Dramatic

The global markets are in a state of sheer panic now, thanks to the monstrous jobs report of +54k reported in the United Steaks of America last week. Investors, in between joy rides in their smart cars, have been forced to sell equities, based upon the premise that the “double dip recession” is all but a foregone conclusion(apparently, there is no statute of limitations on declaring a “double dip recession,” no matter how long it has been since the last recession). In the event next month’s jobs number are good (heaven forbid), the smart cars will stop again and everyone will pile back into equities, like a herd of jackasses running towards a mirage.

The people from the teevee have given up hope, declaring this market “toxic” thanks to that heinous and barbaric +54k jobs report.

Just yesterday, we had a decent rally going; but then all of a sudden, a monster of sorts appeared—frightening everyone out of the markets. As this monster ROARED and THUNDERED throughout Wall Street, investors sashayed in and out of stocks, like dogs chasing feathers attached to their tails. By the end of the day, most investors cowered under the beds or in their respective closets, sending the Dow lower for a 6th consecutive day.

Over in Europe, as you read this, they are fleeing from stocks, like little Greeks running from Turks. Indices are down more than 1%, effectively sending our futures lower. The sad and grotesque reality is: there is no future.

All in all, the stage is set for another day of hedonistic adventures, as the usual cast of actors and actresses make their way down to the NYSE. All of the tiny, itsy, bitsy day traders are ready to go “FAZzing” and most, if not all, have declared this market to be deader than reason and democracy inside of any middle eastern country of your choosing.

Lights…cameras…action!

    I love the bit about there being no statute of limitations on declaring a recession to be a “double-dip”…a very astute observation.

    My feeling is we are actually heading for a triple-dip-a-lip stagcession, as in reality all counting should have started with the dotcom boom and from that point forward everything, forevermore, should be considered connected.

      Doesn’t a double dip recession requires a recovery of some sort first? As in real recovery in employment and stocks in relationship to commodities rather than the dollar?

        You will not be able to stay home, brother.
        You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out.
        You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip,
        Skip out for beer during commercials,
        Because the revolution will not be televised!

    Apparently there is a build-a-burger group meeting near the deli between the lettuce and the cheese, to plan out financial destiny and all the Jekyll island shit. Hopefully we can get some fries with that.

    When Cassandra Whitney was on Squawk this morning, they were freely and recklessly referring to the “horrific” employment numbers. Maybe I missed something, but even in May it was POSITIVE 54k, right? I mean, the every day distortion of the economic data in an effort to fill the dead air by “explaining” why the market is acting in a certain way is unfounded speculation by folks who are barely qualified to work fast food at best and totally fucking knowingly fraudulent at worst.

    ‘we had a decent rally going”

    That “rally” was anemic at best. Fly, your bullish posts last week were 100% wrong (more if you were leveraged). Your PPT must stand for Pud Pulling Tool, because what you posted was pure jerking off. Your call was something I’d expect to here from a CGC, (cock gobbling charlatan), or worse, for a GUESSER. Instead of banking your coins, it looks like you’ve been flipping them. No go grind your own face in the dust. And all your minions, who gave me a thumbs down after I posted that I went long FAZ, well, they know where to look for that thumb.

      Baron, I would think you would be happier given how genius and how many great trades you post here all the time, according to yourself…your profits must be amazing.

      Your anger leads me to believe that you really don’t trade with real money at all…it’s just paper trading.

      You’re just a blog hogger looking for accolades and friends – I suggest a dog.
