Thanks to more rumor milling at CNBC, the market is going down again. Actually, as I write this, it is nosediving.
The volatility in SRS is nuts, going from down 70 cents to up $3, in a matter of minutes. Frankly, I have no idea where the market will end up today. Hence, I have both longs and shorts.
However, one this is reliable: Chinese Fuckery.
With the market down nearly 2%, Chinese stocks should not be up, but they are. As you know, aside from a little selling yesterday (25% of my position), FXI is a rather large position of mine.
For me, best case scenario, the market swims in blood, all the while FXI, resiliently, trades up. Also, at the same time, oil, commercial RE knife lower.
Thus far, everything is going according to plan. I am getting dinged on some “global growth plays,” namely TS, MT and BUCY. But, I anticipated weakness in those names, in a bad tape.
At the moment, both CHL and FXI are up, due to Chinese fuckery. Finally I get to profit from such egregious rice throwing activities.
NOTE: With regards to the “bad bank” idea: there is no fucking way Obama is going to pay a 100% premium for toxic assets. Listening to his rhetoric, he sounds more apt to zero out shareholder equity, before bailing out those banking gangsters. We shall see.
