The markets are ripping into the close, as investors view a big GOP win as a net positive for stocks. In particular, oil and retail stocks should do well, if the Bush tax cuts are extended. Plus, as you all know, the GOP is a BIG fan of fossil fuels, to hell with you and your wind turbines.
I’m looking at the shares of BORN and find myself dumbfounded for not buying it this morning (it was on my list). Chuck Bennett is iBankCoin’s foremost expert on all things Chinese and liquor. Needless to say, he is a big fan of BORN‘s products.
If the election disappoints, the bottom will drop out tomorrow. A disappointment would equate to a large democratic win, by way of modest GOP victory. Get it? If the market shocks to the downside, there is no better ETF than VXX. As you know, I own it from a much higher price point; but remain long if only to quench my romantic sentimental values.
Into the bell, I am 75% long, 10% cash and 15% VXX (on the decline). My top holdings are not really serious, more like rentals. Longer term, I like FTK, FORM, CHNG (shout out to RC) and TEVA. Over the short run, I think HEAT, FUQI, SNIC, PWAV and other garbagio stocks can run. To be clear, I want nothing more than to see the auto-buyers get punished under a gripping and bone shattering decline. However, I cannot fight the bad fight alone. There needs to be a tipping point in the news flow that will stymie this rally. All we get is POMO this QE2 that, with little substance in between. I am without doubt that many momentum stocks are now in fatalistic bubbles and will hurt many, many unsuspecting investors. My long bias will remain as long as the irrational behavior persists.
NOTE: If you notice on the upper right hand side of the site, we have a live streaming CNBC stream. If available, I will stream a live FOX NEWS feed later, as FOX is the only NEWZ worth watching. God bless tea and parties too.
