One of Those Days

We got Vince ‘the bottom caller’ Farrell on CNBC doing what he does best: call bottoms. We got oil down 2 bucks, based upon the good news of death to global growth. At the same time, bank stocks are running with their socks off, thanks to the death of global growth. And, on top of that, we have a Fed meeting today.

My positions are being manhandled by odious market participants who, for some reason, enjoy the prospect of massive dilution and pending insolvency.

That’s neither here or there.

Putting my bias aside, the retailers are prime to high five higher here. Some of my old favorites include: J. Crew Group, Inc. [[JCG]] , Coach, Inc. [[COH]] and Barnes & Noble, Inc. Barnes & Noble, Inc. [[BKS]] .

In addition, food and beverage names should benefit, including Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. [[CMG]] , Hansen Natural Corporation [[HANS]] , PepsiCo, Inc. [[PEP]] and Einstein Noah Restaurant Group, Inc. [[BAGL]] . And, of course, ethanol producers VeraSun Energy Corporation [[VSE]] and Aventine Renewable Energy Holdings, Inc. [[AVR]] , should benefit off the death of corn.

Me, I’m one of those stubborn type. I’d rather drink a gallon of spoiled milk, than fuck around long Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. [[LEH]] .

Nonetheless, you do not need to be as hard headed as I am.

Instead, catch a few trades, drink a beer and throw firecrackers at your neighbors.

I’ll be here, with my face painted blue, waiting for an opportunity to get revenge.

    Not that I know of.

    MVIS is a December CES story.

    Einstein bagels suck. If they sold that crap in NYC I am sure they would blow out their windows.

    But it’s the input cost of flour that has squeezed margins. Now that flour is in the graveyard, BAGL can live again.

    The complete destruction of commodities/materials is positive for stocks? Doesn’t it imply global economic activity is slowing, putting earnings at risk?

    I’d rather get my hair cut by a pork eating, drunken, Icelandic jew than bid stocks higher now.

    What’s the risk getting short LEH here before the FED announcement? It’s looking like a bearish wedge is setting up on it.

    Shorting IWM (Russell etf) for a scalp or two.
    Update- IWM is dead but if the market corrects intraday here IWM etf is the one to daytrade short.

    There is an eerie quiet here. Are we all crestfallen, defeated by the antics of the bearded rat and lying Hank. I do not see this 280 points staying on the tape. I also do not see lvs and mgm maintaining these pumps of nine percent. Not even tomorrow. I do not hold positions in the overnight anymore. Like Sedacca said, who know what kind of shit is going to be pulled we we get up. I am paraphrasing of course. Nevertheless. I will decide withing fifty minutes.
