Did I leave anything out?

It appears the market wants to go higher. There is no point in fighting it. However, I am not in the mood to buy stocks right now, so I won’t. If you must be nosy, I am deciding whether to vacation in Portugal, Spain, Italy or Australia. These are very important topics that much be broached at THE HOUSE OF FLY. All things to do with opulence and grotesque decadence are of interest to me. Feel free to offer advice, although it is not readily needed or required.

At the present, I am still in the same old shit, so there is nothing else to chat about.

SHUT THE FUCK UP

I just wanted to post that headline, in order to infuriate my ad vendor. He gets very upset when the site is littered with “foul language.” The good folks over at Coca Cola do not like to see “SHUT THE FUCK UP” on sites they advertise their “death beverage” on.

Having said that, I want to echo some of the things I penned in PPT today. Although I added to my FTK/WFR positions, I am very tentative about allocating my cash here. The way I see it, I’ve been blessed here, with recent gains that have wiped out losses from my worst trade in years (VXX). Now, if I was half way retarded, I’d take that for granted and press my luck with idiot Chinese stocks. But, I am smart enough to know when to fold my hand. At the present, the only lotto tickets on the books are BORN and CGA.

I will keep a very tight leash on my STI short, especially since financials looks strong today. Should it break $26, I am out.

Essentially, I am making truckloads of coin here, solely based on FTK. The position is a little overweight here, but I am comfortable with it.

Have you ever known something would happen, not based on inside info, but intuitively, and acted upon those instincts? Well, I do that all the time and I am good at it. FTK wants to trade above $3.03 for 20 days, in order to allow the company to force conversion on millions of warrants @ $1.21. When this happens, the company will receive millions of dollars, buttressing the balance sheet. Ultimately, this is a foregone conclusion. It doesn’t have to happen right away; but it will happen. Mark my words.

NOTE: Munis, especially Cali, are getting killed today. See PCK, MLN for details.

On Fire

FTK bumping up on $3, bitches.

In this video, “The Fly” lights on competition on fire.

Based Upon the Laws of Gravity

I added to my SCO position now.

As you were, small dick-burglars.

UPDATE: Based upon the laws of reverse gravity, I added to my WFR/FTK positions.

Rotto No More

Fuck the leprechauns. No one gives a shit about the drunken degenerates from Ireland. I feel it is my right and duty, as a half Irish American, to tell it like it is. They got drunk on their own stupidity, borrowing money like Americans and spending it like Brits.

It looks like the market is due to bounce here; but the market has changed. There is a more serious tone to this tape. The market has “an adult feeling” to it, whereby shit-faced chicom plays are decidedly out of favor. I sold the majority of my Chinese Lotto names on Friday. There is a lot of bullshit being flung around, regarding Chinese accounting fuckery, in a number of names. I much prefer to buy names that do not have that stigma, if you know what I mean.

Having said that, I like WFR, FTK, GMXR with a short oil via SCO here.

The Normalization of Rates?

If you’ve been reading this blog for the past week, you know I was on top of the muni collapse in California. As a matter of fact, similar pinless hand grenade action can be found in NY, Maryland, Illinois etc. Of course this is all following the lead of U.S. Treasuries, best represented by the share price of TLT.

However, let’s call a spade a spade here: rates were artificially low to begin with. What if the rising yields are simply a reaction to an improving economy? I mean, it’s fucking possible, right? Or are we stuck in some sort of endless murderhole, where the economy gets pillaged over and over again, until we all die. WTF.

Granted, rapidly rising rates at a time when the Fed is actively pursuing an artificial environment to reduce yields is counter-intuitive.  But then again, market forces are supposed to trump all of this government bullshit anyway, right? Is it possible that the Fed is spinning their wheels with QE2 and Wall Street is simply forecasting a better than expected economy 6 months out, via rising yields? As a consequence , commodity prices have been crashing too; but they had a terrific run.

After thinking about this situation all weekend, I just wanted to throw a few ideas out there, especially since every motherfucker with a keyboard seems to be hellbent on declaring the end of the world is near, yet again.

If recent history has taught us anything it is to watch out for the other hand, for the one in front of you is merely a diversion.

Going into tomorrow’s tape, I am 5% short, 50% cash and 45% long.

You Want the Truth?

Let’s see if you idiots can handle it.

Okay, Let’s Try This Again

UPDATED: This is a current chart.

That was The PPT range chart, prior to today’s bloodbath. As you can see, from the very extreme levels of 3.32, the market has been trading down. Typically, in past OVERBOUGHT cycles, we’d position inside of VXXcycles and FAZmobiles, while laughing it up, choking on pork chops along the way. However, since my recent decapitation in VXX, I am somewhat, shall we say, “apprehensive” about buying into such lemons. The easier, more reliable bet, in my estimation, is via crude.

Across the board, commodities are being flogged today. If this market is due to correct, 3-5% from here, oil will trade under $80. That’s why I am buying SCO.

In addition to that, I am shorting STI, based around the idea that banks may get the stuffing kicked out of them, sometime soon. Don’t forget who warned you about California munis first. Take a look at PCK. Thus far, it is down 10% for the month, worst since the 35% one month decline in 2008, when the fucking world was ending.

What does it all mean?

Well, a thinking man would surmise that Wall Street is telling THE BEARDED CLAM to go fuck an exhaust pipe. Yields are rising, dramatically, as QE2 commences. Also, Ireland will need a bailout soon, else their drunk asses are going out.

On the other hand, POMO, QE2, TURKEY, CHINA, INDIA, NO INFLATION etc may save us all from damnation, which is why I am going very easy on the shorts and still hold a good amount of longs. Let me just say this: I have never been as bullish as I am right now, regarding the prospects of FTK. I may need to hold it for another 3-6 months, in order to see my $3+ price target. Or, I maybe the waiting period might just be a few weeks. Either way, the underlying fundamentals are smoking hot now. Those are the type of names that you want to buy on dips. I’m not saying FTK is for you. However, I am saying, keep a nice list of stocks that you want to buy on dips and wait for the opportunity to buy them. If we are lucky, we get a small dip from here to Turkey day, then springboard into X-mas.

NOTE: The PPT‘s new Raw Commodity Index is down 4.6% today. Hello Ben, we need more inflation!

UPDATE: I bought 10,000 FTK @ $2.60 and 50,000 WFR @ $13.00.

UPDATE: I bought another 10,000 SCO and sold half of my BORN position.

IMPORTANT QUESTION: Why does Yahoo give heavily coveted news credentials to SeekingAlpha, in their finance section? Those stupid bastards from SA are publishing one short story tale after another, by short sellers, targeting thinly traded stocks, for personal profit. I call bullshit on them and Yahoo.

Fool Me Twice, Shame on Me

Fuck this fiesta, I am heading for a siesta. I am booking profits, losses and everything else in between.

I sold out of EJ, FORM, CAAS, HEAT, CFSG, SNIC and CRK.

It’s real fun being long those names during cocaine induced rallies. I imagine they would not be so cool should reality begin to sink in.

I am still holding the entirety of my FTK, CGA, GMXR, C, TEVA, WNR and WFR positions. My cash position is now 55%.

UPDATE: I bought 10,000 SCO
