Fly Buys: CHGS, FUQI, FEED

Going with my lotto theme, I bought 10,000 CHGS and 15,000 FUQI at these levels.

UPDATE: I bought 50,000 FEED

Disclosure: Playing Chinese lottery is bad for your health and has been known to cause brain damage in old adults.

Imagine your favorite chocolate was wrapped around a ticking time bomb. Then imagine yourself taking quick licks from said bomb, because it tastes so damn good. Then imagine said bomb detonating your face off. This market is a ticking chocolate bomb. Have a lick.

Speaking of which, I am looking forward to today’s Chinese lottery drawing, as I am long a handful of gambles: CDII, XING, CHGS, JST and HEAT. Actually, now that I just wrote that, I am obligated to sell several of them.

iBC is starting a new division, with regards to RFID chip implantation. Instead of having to login to your PPT, PDS, Bleier service, we will send a “certified” iBC surgeon to your house, who will “painlessly” implant an RFID chip into your neck, for easy access to global iBC services. Don’t worry about sending us your address; we already know where you live.

In closing, I look forward to yet another day of mindless dart throwing activities. This run will be complete when FTK gaps up to $4. Actually, with all of the crap going higher, FTK is well deserving of a nice lift-off. The company is performing superbly, aside from moribund stock price action.

Top picks: Lotto, MWW

UPDATE: I sold out of XING @ $2.20

UPDATE II: I sold out of JST, $13.60+

In one of the classic episodes of “Higgleytown Heroes”, the gang meets The Pumpkin Monster, who ends up terrorizing all of the little suckers until the end. Naturally,  by the end, The Pumpkin Monster turns good. For years, I would tell my youngest son “be good or the Pumpkin Pie Guy will get you.” This chagrined him a great deal, even to this very day.

As I sit here, eating grotesque amounts of pumpkin pie, I realize that I am “The Pumpkin Pie Guy” of the internets. If you mess with my domain, I will eat, mind you, your livers and kick your face down a sewer drain. And, just to up the level of drama up another notch, I will NEVER turn good, not even at the end–EVER!

Fellow bloggers of the internet:

Consider yourself under “extreme attack” from now until Halloween. “The Fly” aka “The Pumpkin Pie Guy” will initiate great catastrophes upon your person, none of which can be defended against or avoided. The stock market is only a sidebar to my blogging dominance. What we are doing here (Fly, PPG, HORATIO, Tropicana, Petey etc.) is creating an environment where all other bloggers feel inadequate, as they cannot compete with a person such as myself.

As the market “lotteries” higher, always remember, “The Pumpkin Pie Guy” is out to get you, so you better behave.

Classic Krull, once again.

It’s funny when Schmuck Schumer gets all bent out of shape, talking about how the Chinese are manipulating their currency. It’s like a rapist calling a prostitute a deviant.

The United States is purposely devaluing its dollar, at a minimum by its policies. However, the cynic in me believes there is something more to this decline. The entire program of the Fed is aimed directly at destroying the wealth of its citizenry, while relieving the debt burden of the government. Try traveling to Europe, then get back to me and say “the decline in the dollar does not interest me.”

Like the old Brits, it’s only a matter of time before the US loses reserve status. But don’t expect that to happen right away.

What you should expect, right away, is much higher commodity prices, especially those that trade on a global scale. The reason why natural gas blows is because we have lots of it. It is mainly a US story. Take a look at any other commodity, sans zinc, and there is reason to laugh and cry. Cotton at 140 year highs? Really?

Go flog yourself Mr. O’bama.

It’s gonna be a real treat to see the soon to be elected republicans break all of their promises, over the next few years. As always, one party will blame the other for lack of productivity and corrupt policies will go unchanged. I’m not really bellyaching, since my life is good. Plus anyway, the corruption of the US government is terrible; but we have a pretty big military, which is a nice sidebar. Until some sort of Eden appears, with a monstrous military, I am staying here, in this dumbass country, with you idiots.

Doing a 180 from this morning’s missive, I stepped in and bought MWW for two (pick two) reasons:

1. Prime takeover candidate.

2. The Hotjobs numbers at YHOO weren’t half bad.

3. MWW is priced for calamity.

In the event the jobs market improves, even marginally, MWW goes to $17. Months ago I posted a chart of MWW and compared it to the unemployment rate. Can you say lockstep?

Separately, for my personal account, I bought some CHGS, at $1.84, fully accepting the possibility of stark losses in the not so distant future. It’s a 10k lotto play and I am game. Until the market starts going down again, I like JST, FTK, MWW, MERU and other crap. If we start downticking,  SPG, MELI and AEM is where my money is short.

UPDATE: In the spirit of lotto, I bought 5,000 CDII @ $1.66. Let the games begin!

UPDATE II: I bought 5,000 XING @ $1.80

In light of the tremendous recovery in the US jobs market, I bought 30,000 MWW, at these levels.

UPDATE: I bought 5,000 CHGS, for Chinese lotto purposes, at $1.84.

Disclaimer: Costanza trade.

I am really, really heated right now, due to the surge in shares of SHZ. In my quest to win Chinese Lotto, I had conducted about an hour of research on SHZ, like last week when the stock was $1.13. Seeing it at $3.20 in pre-market trading is equal to having the winning lotto numbers at home, sans ticket.

Here are my notes inside of The PPT

On a separate note, seeing shares of AMLN get obliterated this morning, thanks to the FDA, reminds me why I avoid biotech stocks like the plague. They are nothing more than pinless hand grenades waiting to blow arms off.

Thus far, pre-market, stocks look poised to bounce at the open. People know longer trade this market, only computers. So, having said that, do not expect the market to adhere to any semblance of reason. Doubling down on my “having said that” demeanor, I am a seller into any rally, due to the novelty of it all. I am interested in stocks trading down, all the time, no matter what Bill “The Jackass” Miller says on the teevee.

Deeply embedded in one of the worst trades of my career (VXX), I am reminded of how cyclical this business is, with regards to “getting the market.” I’ve been through so many hot/cold streaks. It no longer affects my confidence. The important take away: no matter how bad/good you are trading, the trend always changes. If you are enjoying yourself now, nailing the market, remember the times you were retarded, running down Wall Street with your head tilted sideways, panicked over margin liquidations.

See folks, life is all about redemption. Some of us are really good when dealing with adversity, others fold like the NY Mets coming down the stretch.

As for me, well, I will not trade the opening tick or anything before 10am. Too much noise, not enough substance.

This is an exercise of futility, so bear  with me (pun intended!).

Let’s imagine for a moment the stock market starts to slope down on the “other side of the mountain.” Pursuing that train of thought, I have taken the liberties to educate you about the lessons of 2008 and other past market melt-downs.

Hedge funds and institutions, for the most part, ride the same group of stocks, up and down. There is a certain criteria that must be met, prior to buying a security, stemming from basic price points, market caps to PE multiples. Every institution has its own set of standards. What’s important to acknowledge, through easy to find reportable data, is what they are buying. Once you know what they are buying, ironically, you will also know what they will be selling in the future. Remember when FCX and NOV were nosediving into the ground, during the credit crisis? That had nothing to do with fundies, but hedge fund liquidations.

Now, if you are going to short any of the names mentioned in this post, do so with caution, for they are heavily sponsored by Wall Street’s greatest money gatherers. The criteria was simple: find stocks, via The PPT, that have been accumulated by institutions, over the past month, add in some performance data, minimum market cap and forward multiple information and voila: I found myself a nice list of idiot stocks to gun after.

Naturally, once the Fed starts pumping more miracle money into the market, I might need to purge this list from my mind. But, for now, I reminisce about the times when stocks adhered to the basic principals of fundamental analysis.

Here is “The Funnel” aka “hot money magnets”

(note: for PPT users, here is the actual screen)

AAPL, GFI, GG, QCOM, SAP, EC, ECA, V, MON, PAAS, SCCO, GOOG, BID, SKS, AVB, GOLD, ROK, BXP, FRT, KO, APC and NKE.

Get in the funnel.

With the Pimco, Blackrock and the NY Fed suing BAC, the floodgates have been breached. This should open up the banks to massive lawsuits, worldwide, for selling fraudulent MBS. Again, it’s not about the home owner, who gets a stay of execution. It’s about the mortgage process not being legal, which essentially opens up a legal loophole for institutions to be “made whole” on their MBS investments. It’s not a matter of being “nit-pickers.” These institutions have no choice, whatsoever, than to sue the banks, as it is their fiduciary responsibility.

Now we know why the banks were sitting out the rally. Smart/insider traders knew about this news and positioned accordingly.

How will this affect the market?

Again, it’s only my opinion, but this lends to the idea of a pause or sell off, following such a big run. Investors will want to digest the news, evaluate the potential damage to the banks, and book profits, ahead of the elections.

What type of downside action are we looking for?

I am looking for total destruction of this entire move higher, bringing the Dow down to about 10,000, or a smidge lower. I make such predictions with a big grin on my face and pistol in my pocket.

Finally, I sold out of a bunch of rentals today; but still hold other “stuff.” I am not quick to jump in the bear cave , following a 200 point decline. Ideally, I can sell out of more longs, on a reflex bounce tomorrow morning.

UPDATE: I sold short SPG.

With sincere hopes of black smoke and bustling metal, rummaging throughout Wall Street, I sold out of PWRD, AMKR, CSIQ and BRCD, in order to reduce my long exposure. It has long been a personal dream of mine to see the stock exchange punched out with a steroid induced robot punch to the scrotum. Looking at today’s tape, it looks like a good starting point. Keep in mind, little girls, I am not overzealous in my pursuits of happiness, with a touch over 25% of assets in VXX, short AEM, short MELI. However, with the right sort of “pin-less” hand grenade action, I will be shorting many more stocks in the not-so-distant future.

Into weakness, I will pare back my longs, due to the outside chance that we have jumped into the crevasse.

NOTE: I added to VXX
