Something doesn’t feel right about this tape. Call me paranoid, but I get the sense someone is trying to trick me into wiping out my fucking account. Everyone is too giddy. Even my neighbor Steve is “back in the saddle,” playing Gordon Gekko from the “unluxury” of his bullshit cubicle.
I have many stocks on my watch list; and many of them look poised to break out. However, the voices in my head tell me to “stay away asshole and go eat a sandwich.”
I have numerous wins today, via American Vanguard Corp. [[AVD]] , National-Oilwell Varco, Inc. [[NOV]] , BE Aerospace, Inc. [[BEAV]] and other unnamed/hidden gems.
To be blunt, as opposed to just beating around the bush and lying to you, I have an urge to splurge in the inverse etf’s, specifically [[SRS]] , [[FXP]] and [[EEV]] . And, I would like to short the euro, via [[DRR]] .
The election is just one big ol’ gay distraction. It’s allowing people/traders to catch a breather. True. However, my guess, volatility will pick up big time, post election, effectively punching the mustaches off of a variety of milquetoast traders and stay at home moms, deservedly so.
At the present, I have more than 50% in cash. I am conflicted between taking down a quick long side trade, going to cash or throwing up some downside hedges. These questions, and more, shall be answered for me, prior to the sessions end.
Let me be clear: I am bullish on stocks until Thanksgiving. However, by no means am I interested in participating in a brief sell off, before the turkey day run up. In other words, I am trying to demonstrate my “space alien magician” skills, for all of you “low-enders” to see.
As you can see, the airlines are running hard. These bastards may have more upside. But, unfortunately, my DNA does not allow me to ever buy an airliner. So sorry.
Select healthcare stocks, like Almost Family, Inc. [[AFAM]] , Amedisys, Inc. [[AMED]] and Chemed Corporation [[CHE]] look decent. I would like to buy in, God willing, at lower levels. And, education stocks are running with their socks off. However, they are too extended. I am tempted to bottom fish in beaten up tech, like NetGear, Inc. [[NTGR]] or Corning Incorporated [[GLW]] ; but they just blow.
Typically, when I force trades, I lose money. So, barring something really cool happening, I might just roam around my office, in a red turban, while berating everyone who works for me.
