It’s 2007 All Over Again– NEW ALL TIME HIGHS

Yes, indeud, it is 2007 all over again. The only differences: this time around our banks are flush with cash, the housing market already cratered and is now in recovery and US corporations have record amounts of cash on their balance sheets. Valuations are cheap. You can re-read my article from the other day, or you can trust me enough to believe this market is going up until tax day.

During the perverted summer months, people like to partake in drug induced orgies, leaving little time to think, let alone invest, about stocks. When they’re finished, typically sometime in September, they make all sorts of erratic decisions, finally settling down in October through April.

Rinse and Repeat.

If I had cash available, I’d buy RAS and CBG–because both stocks are heading higher.

For now, I am forced to settle for a meager 2.4% return for the day–putting me within 2% of last week’s severe and thorough drubbing.

Short sellers: you’ve been dispatched.

    Van Cliburn

    Without his piano playing prowess we would be listening to instead Alla Pugachova instead of Rick Ross.

    Well I am Back from my Month Long Trip of Italy/Paris. It was AMAZING..Had a Papal Audience two days AFTER he announces he was going to quit. Have my Movimento Buttons after I joined the rally in Milan. Saw so many major pieces of art. Partied at Venice and Vieraggio Carnivals…Italians hate Germans btw. Euro has to become weaker, they are the largest global economic power and they are in trouble..plus China is going to cut cost…ciao.

      Since when did Europe knock the US off of the “largest economic power” podium? I must have missed that…

        In 2012, the EU’s economy produced $15.7 trillion, while the U.S. came in at $15.6 trillion..US is the number one Country…but EU all together beats us.

          It’s not about production, it’s about consumption. We consume 50% of the worlds goods.

            Depends what is being consumed. China is Biggest Copper consumer, etc. But, I am pointing out the decoupling theory…EU is going down, China is going down..both hurt by a weaker USD, Clams of the world have been throwing historical money at the problem and what I saw in Italy it is only gong to get worse…but I am a Bear.

    Keep your poise and don’t get too giddy. Bottom line is still capital preservation! EBIX up nicely today and look at FIRE, both mentioned by me last night. No position though, lol. DECK and SHLD up tomorrow. Nice run-up in SHLD but DECK is so bearish.

        I’m holding ELLI, it’s not a big position for me. My biggest positions are ETFs because they are less volatile than single stocks. The ideal time to sell ELLI was that big pop at the open the day after it reported. I sold my original position the next day for a small gain then bought it back on the dip last week. There’s a $34 price target by one analyst but you know how that goes. Let’s see how it behaves. What do you think? The one I want to tank is HLSS – I sold it and want it back but not at $22.

          What do I think? A stock that reports earnings & guidance upside but behaves badly is an avoid. Nonetheless may you have large profit if I’m wrong.

          Price targets are total bullshit. No one knows how far a stock can run or fall.

            Vertigo, Fly sold @ near the fucking bottom as I bought the day he sold, fucking #timestamped. Made some coin, and bought again! Stop being a kiss ass as Fly lost money and I haven’t yet on ELLI!

    Now all we need are the customers and we’ll be laughing.
