Riding to the Sun

It’s been a painful two weeks. My losses are many; but my spirit is just fine. Retrospect is the vision of degenerate losers. However, if I could do it again, I would have take a drive in the FAZmobile and chowed down (lion king) on extinct mammals, like many of you. Instead, I’ve been jailed inside a belief system that has made me lots of money. In the big scheme of things, it’s just a few weeks, right?

But look at the carnage in the banks, trannies and tech. It is gruesome, almost as ugly as Jim Cramer wearing a dress and high heels.

Nevertheless, I am a contrarian at heart, but survivalist from the beginning. I sold out of LOGI. It was a non-essential name, tossed in there for novelty. I booked another 10% loss.

Like I said, the losses can pile up to the moon, for I know, one day, I will be right. Granted, the Dow Jones Industrial Average might be trading at 33, or even lower. But I will get my bounce. I can see it now. Me just sitting there, with no more than $15 left in the market, elated to finally see my prophecies come to fruition. By that time, most of you will be dead or paralyzed, from the civil war part 2. But it would be a sight to see, indeud.

For the day, I bled out some more, about 1%. Being that I was up 1.5% yesterday, hell, I am up from yesterday.

Into the close, for my personal, I added to an earlier purchase of TNA. The way I figure, what better way to express myself than through the fuckery of a 3x super-retardo upside ETF?

There isn’t any.

    I just realized that when Bernanke said “no inflation” he meant “know inflation”. Apparently he knows very well what inflation is and what causes it

      or maybe he was expressing his outlook going forward on what he was planning? Most likely he’s just a liar with a good poker face (minus his lip twitch every time he’s nervous)

        Bernanke is making it obvous that he, and the financial companies he represents and is associated with, are solving this “temporary” inflation problem for us. He said it’s temporary for a reason. He certainly had no cheery news yesterday for commods, or even for stocks. But he’s got the CFTC raising margins on various commodities and lowering them on stocks and bonds.

        Obviously he intends to crash commodities. Look how quickly he and his friends did this to silver already. And he wants people to buy stocks and bonds– although the commodity crash may crash stocks too. But he and his friends will crash commodities a lot lower than they crash stocks, and they won’t allow them to bounce, once they allow stocks to bounce.

        No wonder OPEC won’t increase production. Once the Nank crashes erl, they sure don’t want to have such a glut of it that they have to sell it for $10 a barrel. They, the CFTC, and the Nank all know that the high erl is due to speculation right now. People are not using more oil in this economy. No chance.

          Worked in Flint for a year during law school. It was unbelievably gangster. I mean, old caddies and impalas cruised up and down the street like a rap video. It wasn’t dangerous downtown, necessarily, but there was this constant feeling like I’m about to find myself in the middle of a shootout over whose rims were spinning longer.

      I think the root cause of the next US civil war will be slavery once again. This time will not be slavery of African Americans, but slavery of the 80 percent of the population that is in poverty and servitude to the rich.

        Seriously social studies types pushing the old Bourgeouisie/Proletariet, it’s getting old.

        There are 20% of this country who fall into the Have Not category.

        That leaves about 80% who are in some form of Have. Some Have more than others, but really I’d hardly call them desperate or angry.

        So 20% disgruntled against 80% mostly content.

        Yeah sounds like grounds for a real Earth shattering war.

        More like a slaughter.

      The bad news: Net losses (capital gains – capital losses) are limited to $3,000 per year offsetting your ordinary income.
      The good news: You can carry forward your remaining losses in future years.

        Does the law, rule, reg. or bul. treat the loss the same for long term AND short term “roll-over” losses? My recollection is only short term net losses… . A test of memory and current affairs.

          Yes, whether short or long term, the loss is limited to $3k/year. Both do carry over though.

    Possibly the best way to play oil here is PBR

    It benefits most from the collapse of opec than almost anyone

    Canadian Oil stocks too elevated. And can’t trust Russia/Mexico not to bully or nationalize their Oil.So,only play left is PBR Brazil. It has probably made its lows for the year, if not the next 5 years.

    Many republicans,like Trump, claimed an OPEC break up would make oil cheaper.But fact it happened under Obama now makes it negative? WTF

    This oil spike will give yet another spike to the republican numbers. Obama might as well take all that monorail money, and buy some new golf carts. Because he is going to be spending alot of time hiding there until 2012. Wouldn’t be surprised if he only does one or two press conferences for the rest of his term. Has to start typing those one termer memoirs.

      don’t bet on it … they will release oil from the strategic reserve and lower rates on excess reserves at the Fed to help the consumer and small businesses.

        Tapping into our strategic reserves, with so much risk of overseas war?

        The republicans will eat him alive on that issue. There is no reason to be tapping those reserves with oil at 100.

        Oil above 130, would be a bit understandable.

        ROFL.

        Are you serious? Release from the strategic reserves? To bring earl prices down?

        Holy shit, that’s the best laugh I’ve had all day.

        You may be a Bamer cheerleader to the odd extreme, and I may think the guy is an absolute economic menace, but let me tell you this: He is not THAT stupid.

    While the market attempts my murder for the sins of calling bounces with space alien intelligence, my rules permit me to survive to tomorrow before I dump some positions like a Euro-model-trash-slut. Based on private, but not “insider”, analytics, tomorrow should gust in with cash and close up.

    Oil won’t be as easy to crash as silver, but I’m sure the Bernank and the CFTC will give it a try– to try to make inflation “temporary” as the Bernank says it is. Lower oil wouldn’t hurt Bernank’s employee either– the pres. — who, like all presidents, serves at the pleasure of the Federal Reserve and TBTF banks at all times.

    USA is sitting on top of a hellava lot of oil…You think we’re really going to go “alternative”(Sorry T Boone) before the boys cash in on it? Are the boys going to finally tap into the USA motherload and only take $75 a barrel? Gee, I don’t know, if I had all that oil, I think I would disrupt every oil producing nation in the world and roll out my product as the only game in town.
