Inflation is the Markets Tourniquet

Say what you want about valuations. Inflation will kill this market faster than a flamboyantly gay goat in a conservative Iranian goat village.

Hey assholes, oil is at $112. Natty is above $10. Price inflation of rice is causing riots in Egypt.

It’s the end of times friend. And there you are buying stocks because of a fucking “technical breakout.”

Sometimes, extraordinary events demand that you get your fucking heads out of the text books and look around.

Is it really that bad?

Answer: Ask Bernanke.

Now, if you believe the greatest credit meltdown in 100 years warrants a modest 5% decline, year to date, you deserve to work for me, tending to my garden and cleaning my patio—instead of managing money in the market.

I do not fear the market going up. I have 100% conviction in my position that I am willing to endure painful short term losses, in return for bountiful long term gains.

Right now, with my money, I like short [[FED]], short [[DSL]], short [[WM]], short [[LEH]], short [[MS]] and short [[MON]]—just for fun.

Oh, and with Cramer mucking up his picks on a daily basis, I am uber confident that [[TSCM]] will trade significantly to the downside.

When the market was knifing lower 200-300 points daily, it scared people. Newspaper men started to write stories; and people from the government became opportunistic. So, the bears changed the approach.

Death by a thousand cuts, instead of the “sword of gay death.”

Notice, all of the “party stocks,” like [[AAPL]], [[RIMM]] and [[GME]], remain chockfull, while other stuff falls by the wayside, namely the bastards from [[LEH]].

If any of you leeches have been reading my poetry for more than 6 months, you know “The Fly” was always bullish. Gee, he’d run outside, following consumption of 4 cans of Monster Energy soda, and kick old men down stairs, or idle manholes—just to celebrate his long positions.

He was the “perma-bull” variety, until everything changed.

What changed?

It is a very long story and I do not care to bore you with the details. Just know, the stench from Wall Street, with all of its greed and folly became too much for “The Fly” aka Senor Tropicana. He read of massive errors being made at trading desks, coupled with “homo-hammered” retail sales.

He saw how stupid the internet trading community was, with all of their disgusting charts and loathsome market commentary.

So, he made a market call. One that was meant to last the entire year of 2008, not a few measly months.

The call was and is, as you know, to bet against the coked out guy on CNBC, talking gibberish. To bet against former Forbes magazine editors, who like to see equities trade higher, even in their nightmares.

In short, fuck stocks for all of 2008. “The Fly” will win, because God designed him that way.

Top pick: Short [[LEH]]

Death to the trannies!

May all trucking companies and truck drivers be hit with egregious revenue loss and “fuckfaced” speed bumps.

God willing, of course.

You’ve been warned.

More on this later.

In markets like this, it hurts to use cognitive thinking. Instead, you’re better off taking a large club (mouse) and start beating (buying) down stocks, in order to store them in your cave (portfolio).

With my money, I’m just throwing good money into a fucking “inferno of fun,” by shorting stocks.

With all of the bad news, the market barely budged. Fucking hilarious.

All day, banana eating cavemen were just storing basic material stocks in their fucking caves, pushing up the prices of filthy coal and ag stocks.

I must say, the appetite for risk is abundant. However, keep in mind, investors always take toss ups, prior to a swift deballing. When the frothiness is apparent, most of the time, it’s time to sell short.

In closing, “The Fly” booked mild gains today, on the backs of [[WM]], [[SRS]] and [[SKF]]. Maybe over the next week or so, those fucking bastards in the [[SMN]] will start bending to my will.

Top Pick: [[SSG]]

Trade accordingly.

I bought 2,000 [[SRS]] @ $90.08, 1,000 [[SKF]] @ $104.80 and 2,000 [[SMN]] @ $33.45.

Disclaimer: If you buy the above stocks because of this post, your only daughter will grow up to idolize Maria Bartiromo. And, you may lose money.

I know many of you have been stuck in the go-go days of 2000. Nonetheless, it’s good to have you back here, in the present, in the midst of a fantastic recession.

As you know, the Fed is concerned about the recession, via their minutes.

Forget about a 2nd half recovery. It’s not happening. Right now, with the market massively extended, I’m warning you, take profits now, else lose a few limbs during earnings season.

See, when the economy slows down, companies warn of earnings deterioration. Right now, the market IS NOT pricing that in.

Ahead of numbers, I prefer to be flat or short the market, as the slowdown takes hold of EPS estimates.

I understand your fucking charts say “buy without fear.” Moreover, I encourage you to do so. This way, I can use your legs and arms to fuel my cash machine.
