Breaking Your BAC

This rally wasn’t supposed to happen. But the magicians from Wall Street, as well as other avenues of excess worldwide, have juiced up the shares of BAC–turning it into a weapon against the bear-minded trouble makers.

The rally in heavily shorted names continues, to the benefit and delight of those long DECK and LULU. Also, as the rolly-polies get out of bed and into sweat-suits, shares of fitness names are soaring. From WTW, to NTRI, to MED to DIET to BC–all mean and green.

I remind myself, upon witnessing this action, it is all phantasm. Every once in awhile we get a real glimpse behind the curtain and it is not pretty. Eventually, the cosmetics will wear off and the curtain will come down. At that point, the majority of you will turn to salt and crumble in fear at the specter that is the markets problems.

Until then, rejoice in the gilded decadence that is momentum. Behold the gold plated and ruby encrusted news flow and sop up the consommé that is emanating from the brow of staggered short sellers.

    Could be all the good news out of the US auto industry. Rumor has it that Obama is going to announce a trillion dollar mortgage refinancing program in the coming weeks. Bears better go back into hibernation OR ELSE.

    Does the world not know about New Year resolutions? Diet and exercise is big for about a week or two.

    Goldman published an aggregate list of European debt maturities for the year, by month. $1 trillion across the system, with a huge front end demand – January through April look real ugly, especially with regards to the worst countries.

    You lot jonesing over price action have fun; but beware that one day you don’t just wake up and discover someone stole your skin right off your frame.

      isnt that what LTRO is for? unlimited $ up to 3 year term? Also Fed can add foreign sovereign debt to the balance sheet – its within their mandate. so, if push came to shove the printing presses go and Fed owns the bonds.

    Might the prop equity desk at the vampire squid right around 11am Eastern have gotten its overdue preview of tomorrow’s employment report?

          Never listen to Joe Analheist. PTs screw everyone over, at some point in time they screwed me over the railing of a boat.

    Fly, are you watching TLT? It’s back to the 50-day which has been support since roughly March of 2011. Just saying.
