Okay, Can We Get Back to Financial Armageddon Again?

Who would have known the vampire that is Facebook would have sucked my YELP position dry, fucking the entirety of the social media sector? TELL ME, WHO WOULD FUCKING KNOW THIS INFORMATION (ask Chuck Bennett for the answer)? Back in the old days, when an industry leader came public, the halo effect would buoy shares of peers. Not today.

In this fucked up world, the exact opposite occurs. Instead of riding the coattails of an industry leader in its prime, your fucking stock triggers circuit breakers to the downside and gets halted for trading, like ZNGA.

God-fucking-damn it.

Cock sucker, motherfucker, shit, fuck, piss, dicks, hummus.

What am I going to do? Should I walk down the street and hit someone with a tennis racket, right in the nose? Or, maybe I should buy a few slices of hot, hot pizza and slap people with them?

You know, I’m actually tempted to sell out of my old man stocks and buy more EXK/AG/WNR. Without a doubt, that move will fuck me. I’ve saved myself so much money this year, more than you know, by doing nothing. So many times I felt like buying something, only to see it drown in large vats of vomit, shortly thereafter. I really want to buy precious metals here; therefore, you should sell them short.

That’s all.

I’m sick of talking about Facebook or listening to some fat slob talk about his emails regarding their allocations. I DON’T CARE.

Life could be worse. I wanted to really load up on MTW the other day, but opted for a midget sized position instead. Lo and behold, SHAZAAAM, that fucker is down 30% in a few days. No biggie. The Chinese don’t need cranes anymore.

YELP IS CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP, but also expensive as hell. You must understand there are valuations during times of duress and a totally different price when markets are booming. Everything is shit now; therefore, speculative stocks get to enjoy multiple compression. The trillion dollar question is: what are the fucking Greeks gonna do?

Fuck my life.

    Wait for the retest of two days back, and then you’re gold.

    No pun intended.

            I like the old style where the ‘tabbed’ bloggers were up top. The other stuff should follow below IMO.

            Agreed, the valuable and entertaining blog posts should be better separated from the news posts. I have been burned too many times by some catchy title only to click and realize it was a news post whoring out to some other site. – Especially those done by Cronkite- I actively avoid anything posted by him for this reason.

    “The trillion dollar question is: what are the fucking Greeks gonna do?”

    The prez has called an election. First polling suggests that the lunatic asylum called Greece are coming to their senses and the two major parties are looking like their getting more support.

    Don’t forget that 25% of the population didn’t vote. I’m sure they will take an interest this time around when the abyss of dropping out of the Euro is explained to them.

    It seems Europe is quite prepared to throw them to the wolves unless they shape up. It won’t be a case of Greece leaving the Euro , it will be them getting thrown out.

    I remember by the end of the movie “Haywire”, Michael Douglas, playing the Chief CIA, explained to Mallory Kane, the black op super-soldier that the “halo effect” is a very rare occurrence.

    I guess that was a subtle message which I took heed…

    The old “slow bleed” is in full effect.

    Remember, just because a stock has gone way way down, doesn’t mean it can’t hit the ground.

    401k’s IRA’s all getting fleeced again, while government employees retirement accounts getting bailed out by the taxpayer.

    Nothing like a fair and equitable economy for all.

    Dow 6500 within 12 months.

    Nymph Take..G8 is set to talk Oil Prices this weekend. IMHO Oil needs to come down if Obama wants to get re elected. 90.50 is key support. They can come out with language about releasing Strat Reserves…we will see..BTW, Po, Thank you on your take on the crack spread. The articles I am reading to learn Pipelines is all the material I can find on the Pipeline Crossroads of the World. I try and avoid other people’s analysis.

      Regarding Other People’s Analysis..I mean, I try and learn about a subject as best I can by books, yes articles..and then I try and think about it and how it effects everything. Then I throw out my ideas, as dumb as they can be, so the people that really know the subject can be my teachers by pointing out errors of my understanding (which I am greatful) for. After, I feel OK in understanding the subject, then I will read Wall Street/Seeking Alpha/etc on their takes..which many times they have even less understanding on. Po I see you as a Oil Expert.
