Markets Soften into Closing Bell; Le Fly Enjoying Life in Cash

Stocks are softening in the final hour of trade. But energy related stocks are still up sharply, as WTI presses its gains to almost +5% for the day.

I’ve been sitting out the whole rally, 75% cash, 25% TLT, and loving life. The fucking stock market has been nothing less than an emotional albatross for me for nearly 20 years. While my gains are only 1% for the year, the peace of mind I’ve enjoyed during this time as been priceless.

Some of you are probably wondering “what the fuck has gotten into Le Fly?” I’m not entirely certain, to be honest. I’ve been doing the same thing for two decades, professionally managing money for others, being a slave to the market. I just, sort of, woke up one day and decided to do something different. My truest passion lies in the creation and maintenance of Exodus, as well as producing content for iBankCoin. The process of creation is mesmerizing to me, as opposed to the wheeling and dealing of trying to decapitate enemies in the market.

I’ll wait until markets flag oversold. I’ll buy back in when the easterly winds howl again, people strewn out, spread eagle. I am empirically confident in the Exodus algorithms and will enjoy the time, from now until then, walking the halls of iBC, gawking at the pictures, chuckling at the mistakes of the Third Estate being played out in real time.

As for the markets: they seem fine. I see no reason to worry just yet. Markets should do well until late April.

        I do not recall seeing the good doctor’s face before. This is like a chrysalis. Perhaps he was a butterfly all along!

    Fly, Are you completely sold on trading this day for the rest of your days? You don’t see yourself stepping back in the ring? Ever.? Are you officially retiring from stock picking?

      Clearly Dr. Fly smells smoke and until it clears the air, would rather not be an idiot and get burned by the furnace of hell that may be around the corner.

      Guilty until proven innocent appears to be his strategy if I’m not mistaken

    Hmmm. Looks like you’ve realized you can make more money as an entrepreneur than as a trader/ insulter-in-chief. Did Trump U. precipitate all this?

    RE: Exodus, I’m not seeing the value for me personally. Don’t want to be a dick, just being honest. I didn’t understand what it was and bought in to the hype. My bad, not Le Fly’s. I’m sure it adds a lot of value to the type of market participant that it’s built for.

    I stopped the trading and computer staring almost 2 years ago (after trading and investing since about 1982).
    Now I just see how the various indexes are doing (EM,SPY,NAS 100, Russell + a few of my own indicators) in early AM, place my intra day trade by 10:30, go about my day, and then close it out by 3:50 PM or keep it for the next day trade window @10:30 AM.
    I use the Rydex 2X funds and I imagine it would work great with the Exodus program.
    During the day I play tennis, golf, ride a bike, or whatever (going to start fishing) and can trade it by phone or computer.
