LEVERED UP, INTO THE BELL

I went on margin for the first time in ages, leveraging up to buy as many blocks of WNC as I could possibly muster. I know their sales are explosive. Let’s see how the street likes them.

I also added to my ELLI position, doubling down on the name –post brutal sell off. It is my only loser, at the present. I am swimming in a sea of green. I emerge (you come, I emerge) from the water looking like a sea monster from the lagoon, strewn with seaweed and Heineken beer bottles. I am making so much money right now, my face is numb and my right hand is slapping people in the face, all on its own.

Back in the old days, I’d slap my trader/servants with hot slices of pizza. Now that I work from home, my wife slaps me with debit card transactions. There is a certain sadness to my existence. Nevertheless, don’t feel sorry for the guy with the machine gun and money to raise a militia.

“The Fly” dominated today’s tape, walking about the office, plotting to kick over the tombstones of his enemies. I made 3.10% for the day, led by NAV, VHC and WNC. I’m +10% for the year. I’m “gorilla arming” my banana into the weekend to come (absolutely no masturbation).

At the time of this post, I was 106% long.

Full Icahn-Ackman truly epic battle

With today’s move, my gains are nearing +10% for the year.

Yet another stellar January for Senor Tropicana.

I added to my WETF position.

Cash position is now at 0%.

Netflix is hurrying back to $300, its rightful and lawful price given to it from the Gods of cinema. Apple is finished and semiconductors, like KLAC, QLGC, LSCC and RMBS, are all the rage.

OSK reported an outrageously good number, once again helping the prospects for trucking stocks. NAV is my favorite in the space, not because of the fundamentals, but because of the potential upside. I consider it to be a powerball ticket.

Bill Ackman is getting the business again, with shares of HLF trending up. It seems all of the high profile shorts, like GMCR, CMG, are ripping to the upside. Dare I say, it’s folly to disclose a short position to the world, unless you’re planning to cover your short right away. I don’t think it’s tactful or gentlemanly to hold these press conferences, highlighting reasons why XYZ is going to zero. These short sellers have it coming to them, AND MORE.

I’m fully invested, with less than 5% in cash. I am up 0.8% for the day and +7% for the year.

The Yen is getting wrecked today and SNE is up nicely off an upgrade. WETF and HMC are my favorite Japanese plays.

Finally, I like the look of OVTI here, as well as MOS. I want to position into Ag before the planting season, which is less than a month away. This is the season for Ag. Don’t expect Ag stocks to trend higher all year long. But you should expect them to keep going up now.

I am thinking about buying HLF based solely upon this video. This battleground stock is bound to get very ugly and someone is going to lose very badly.

One of many reasons why Icahn wants to rip Ackman’s head off.

He is a contorted pervert.

And here is olde school Icahn.

Who would you put your money on?

I own a small portion of Apple, just like every gentleman north of the Bentley Subglacial Trench. I don’t let the small amount of shares change who I am as a person, a human being, breathing and bleeding, just like the rest of you. Although I am somewhat ashamed to be a part of the Tim Cook atrocity (TCA), I am broadly diversified amongst numerous stocks that serve me in varying ways, mainly to make me money.

Precious metals are dead.

Japan is alive. Transports are alive. Selective tech is working, as well as banks, brokerages and asset managers. Homebuilders and construction material stocks are working. And let’s not forget the never ending powerball taking place inside of the biotech sector. There are a hundred different ways to skin this cat. Do not fixate on Apple, a company being dismantled from the top down by one vile man.

Embrace the new bull market, froth with excess and certitude. Something really big is about to happen. A new gilded era is upon us. I hope you’re masculine enough to man the front lines. Perhaps, if you’re not feeling up to it, you can ask your wife or girlfriend to man it for you?

I started a new position in WNC and added to FBHS.

Disclaimer: If you buy the above stocks because of this post, you will be fired tomorrow. And, you may lose money.

Please stop with the ever so coy Tranny/Transvestite references. It’s getting a bit old.

Anything that moves is going higher.

Trucking stocks are leading the session higher. Notable movers include KNX, ABFS, CNW, YRCW and WERN. Truck stocks like SWFT, NAV and PCAR are defying gravity. And of course the railroads are ripping higher, with movers in GBX, ARII and TRN.

I was eyeballing ABFS at $8 and of course missed out.

You ponder, are any of them still cheap and if so which ones?

Excellent question. Let’s run the sector through The PPT screener together, shall we?

First let’s look at Trucking.

Clearly there is a correlation between growth and share performance. Without having the luxury of news or research in front of me, it looks like QLTY is impaired somehow. That could either mean there is a great buying opportunity or the company is truly idiotic.  The safe bets are JBHT, FWRD and LSTR. If you want to take on more risk, I’d go with ABFS or QLTY.

First let me say I own a lot of NAV, so I am biased. The company is impaired and going through a transition, so the stock is on sale. As a matter of fact, the stock could triple in price and still be cheaper than most names on that list. The best all around plays, however, are WNC, OSK and SWFT. But SWFT is already up hugely today.

And now for the rails.

Once again, growth equates to superior share performance. Both ARII and RAIL are still cheap, and GBX is the cheapest, using traditional standards. The most levered company is TRN and CSX is the laggard. WAB seems to meet in the middle on most metrics and is likely your safest bet.

Keep in mind, this is quick research, using only data and figures to make assumptions. If you want to dig deeper, read some research notes and listen to at least two quarterly conference calls.

Down 1.38% for the day.
