These fuckers (the banks) will not stop going down. They’re getting “clown stomped” on a daily basis, and no one seems to give a fiddle. Everyone is too busy bidding up coal and steel stocks to worry about the financial integrity of the fucking world.
Who cares, right?
Much to my chagrin, I have zero [[SKF]]. In addition, I have zero bank shorts, aside from [[FED]].
See, this is a perfect example, at my expense, of what happens when an investor tries to get “cute” and attempt to “milk Mother Market.” I hate the banks, yet I wanted to sell them at higher prices. Isn’t that nice?
Pure asshattery on my behalf.
To rectify the situation, I will be forced to sell short some small stupid regional bank, worth killing.
Coal stocks are up, yet again. My small position in [[BTU]] is responding nicely. However, other stocks like [[PCX]] and [[MEE]] are “homo hammering” the competition.
The general breadth of the market is weak. Taking a step back, I believe the market is 10-15% overvalued. Quite frankly, stocks have no fucking idea how badly they’re about to get beaten. Wait until municipalities try to balance their budgets. Just wait.
All municipalities peg their construction expenses to the CPI index, like the fucktards that they are. The only problem: raw material expenses, for concrete, steel and copper are through the roof—at least 3x what the CPI reading has been. As a result, construction projects will either grind to a halt or municipalities will have to make up the short fall—somehow.
In other news, [[CHL]] cannot hold up. It’s weak/stupid and wants to trade down.
On the other hand, the refiners were upgraded today. From the group, I like [[VLO]], [[TSO]] and [[HOC]].
NOTE: With natty [[UNG]] gapping higher today, look for the consumer to get claw hammered by their local utility, sometime soon.
