FRANCE IS NEXT!

Don’t look now but French 10 year yields are blowing out today, +6% to 3.4%. When they break 3.5%, people will discuss. I don’t know what is going on, just reporting the small nuances that is the stock market.

I sold out of NFLX to raise cash. I am now about 22% cash and intend to raise more.

Gold and silver are being liquidated. It is always a painful and arduous trade. But, more often than not, buying the dips turns out to be profitable.

I am not buying here and sense a lot of weakness, sans the trannies.

Bottom line: we’re not out of the hot water and stocks should be viewed with a skeptical eye.

UPDATE: I bought ERY.

    France is like the strongest country in the EU. If France falls, so does Europe. I don’t buy it.

    Fuck Europe, fuck Greece, fuck Italy, and fuck France. I’m in the USA and I buy and sell stock in the USA. Europe can die for all I care. The USA will not fall with it more than a couple of percent.

      I think the Germans, Swedes, Luxembourgians, Denmarkasites (sic), Norwegians and a number of other countries might take umbrage at your depiction of the Maginots being “the strongest” country in the EU.

      They are the strongest of the Mediterranean bon vivants, perhaps.

        no country in the EU that doesn’t run a trade surplus can survive, and the path of forcing austerity on trade deficit nations is so economically destructive that a mild recession is the absolute best case, and not a very likely case. Severe recession is likely in Italy, Spain, and any country that has a trade deficit which is forced into austerity.

        It is the worst monetary system of all time, and austerity is the worst possible (and in fact, EXACTLY the wrong) idea.

        They are doing everything wrong, as if their goal is to destroy themselves.. and…

        Force political union. You are witnessing a German invasion of Europe, for the 3rd time in the last 100 years. This time they decided to not use guns.

    Fly: What’s your cost basis on EXK? I’m looking at starting a position in it today (down ~4%) but wondering if I should hold out for lower.

    Fly, about NFLX you wrote “Should next quarters earnings show subscription growth, we will look back on this time as an unbelievable opportunity to own one of the great internet franchises.”

    Still believe that?

      You see the latest rumor? That he was pimping little kids?

      I say give everyone the benefit of the doubt, but if that schit is true… drawing and quartering would be too slow and too kind.

    I already bailed on my CSCO. I may have been nuts for getting in at all, but better out with a little gain than out with an afternoon destroyer on the books.
