Holy shit I feel like capitulating today. Everything looks terrible, even The Facebook. Stocks are knifing lower, much more than marginal declines in the Dow and SPY. I am getting 5-8% declines in some of my fucking “China-centric” plays. Couple that with the fact that TLT is going to $200, as predicted, I feel incredibly horrible today.
Why do I feel terrible?
Go look at my 2012 predictions.
I’ve been sucked into this shit, likely caused by some chemical imbalance in my brain. The way stocks are trading today, we can fall 200-300 in a single session. We haven’t seen that type of splendor yet; but it’s coming. At the same time, I know when I can’t take it anymore, historically, the market is near a bottom. The PPT hasn’t flashed an OVERSOLD signal all fucking year. It’s just riding the market lower, calmly, with top hat in hand. But today’s trading action might be the tipping point.
I need to hold onto my positions, especially when they begin to melt my fucking face. As you can tell, I am trying to justify holding onto dog-shit.
Fuck the Facebook and fuck Margin Stanley. Fuck the economy, Europe and fuck Obama. I want to see everything burn and never to rebuilt again. I want the market in ashes, even if it wipes out my net worth, which is impossible since 70% of my money is in the bank. I suppose the banks could close and tell me to fish for soup at some government orphanage. Who knows what the market will bring?
One thing is for certain, and I am confident on this point, the market is going to rally when you least expect it. Many will be out of the market, hedged or light. Very few will capture the full move and it will be the biggest one day rally of the year.
Until then, enjoy the never-ending spiral lower.
