The Japanese are one crazy people, offering to buy 20% of the shit coming out of Europe. As spreads blow out in Belgium, Japan is offering to buy 20% of Euro-land bond offerings, which is amazing considering they are levered 200% debt to GDP. It’s like the news accepts absurdities for reality and does not question the logic. But then again, it doesn’t really matter now, does it?
The beastly monsters who are shorting this market, frankly, have no idea what they are getting into. For example: let’s take a peak at the automobile industry, shall we?
One could speculate that the financial crisis was the best thing that happened to Detroit. It’s not a coincidence that F is at new recent highs and all of the automobile parts markers are soaring to new highs. Several years ago these fuckers were dying, even though they were selling 15-16 million cars per annum. Now, they are selling 11 million and making a mint. They fired all of the losers and slashed capacity. I believe GM is operating at 60% capacity, compared to just 3 years ago. The industry adjusted and is ripe to make absurd amounts of coin during this up-cycle. I made 15% on my AXL trade in about 3 days and it ran another 10% after without me. On any pullback, auto related stocks are a buy, especially parts makers.
Solar stocks are a buy too, presciently pointed out by Ragin’ Cajun. The sector is so beaten down, many of these stocks can run 25-50% from here and still be considered “value propositions,” providing oil keeps chugging higher. It is my belief, oil will eclipse $100 and run to $120, before collapsing.
Everything is a trade. You just need to get your timing down, you dumb, grotesque, goat fucker.
Top picks: PWER, SOHU
