Burn Them At Their Altar

Being an avid short seller for more than a year, I can tell you they (the shorts) have sweaty palms right now. They’re waiting this out and hope to cover their shorts at better prices, sometime later today.

However, many of these grotesque men have deformed faces with wretched looking hands and noses that resemble clothing hooks. They’re ideologues, who worship at the altar of death. For the most part, these people are social failures, who are more interested in the machinations of Captain Kirk, than the anatomy of a woman.

Sorry if you construe this rant as a knife twisting assault on your person. Naturally, it is, but that’s besides the point. “The Fly” enjoys shoveling dirt on the graves of idiots, prior to dancing (running man, cabbage patch) on them.

Into this celebration of survival, I will not sell anything. As a matter of fact, I added to my [[UYG]] and National-Oilwell Varco, Inc. [[NOV]] positions, while initiating new ones in [[M]] , The Procter & Gamble Company [[PG]] , Smith International, Inc. [[SII]] , NTT DoCoMo, Inc. (ADR) [[DCM]] , PG&E Corporation [[PCG]] , United States Steel Corporation [[X]] , Commercial Metals Company [[CMC]] and Pfizer Inc. [[PFE]] .

My best guess, today will be an epic short squeeze for the ages. The SEC lifted the ban on shorts, late last week, effectively trapping a bunch of hideous grumblers today. With the grace of the stock Gods favour [sic], we shall burn these harebrained offal eaters where they lay.

    “while initiating new ones in (M: 10.58 +6.65%)”

    Does this mean the Thanksgiving Day Parade is still on?

    If we pop over $SPX ~ 965 it will be over for the shorts. Many people are still short the futures imo, you can just see them getting squeezed like an orange.

    Ahhh shit. I was off. Way off. Well I had to make some lifestyle adjustments to accommodate my heavy losses from my fucktarded short selling. Anyways, here’s a pic of me at my new house – my old one got reposed. I’ll get back to you guys once I get my bathroom dug in.

    If only the AP wrote copy like that. We’d have a country where the men were men, the shorts were clown-raped, and the treasury was full of banked (rather than newly minted) coin. Genius of the first order, 5 stars.

    God bless America (which consists of ibc, and some other bullshit red and blue states)

    FLY, so what global news is going to propel the market higher over the coming days? Hmmm, I’m calling bullshit- too many overly optimistic, permabull CNBC watching morons running head long into the market and calling the bottom.

    Use the Dennis Kneale oscillator – the gayer he looks & dumber he sounds, the more probable a new bear market low is about to happen.

    He looks very, very gay today. He also sounds fucking retarded. get out now…

    Goddammit, I’ve never been this long in my life coming into today, yet I’m not showing anything for my troubles. Why? Because I’m long candian stocks and the market is closed for bullshit Thanksgiving. This thought has been bothering me all weekend. And since Canadian investors act often in a way that makes no sense, they’ll probably come in tomorrow selling so I will probably be lucky if I enjoy half of today’s gain.

    I hope you’re all enjoying your fucking turkey.

    Next you all will be doing the same thing to short sellers that they did in Salem to accused witches.

    This rally sounds about the same sort of rationality now that I think about it. There is no reason to rally off this other than to sell out of everything that dropped in your portfolio last week.

    Enjoy the volatility while it lasts. When the air goes out of this particular balloon there will be an ugly drop – as I said before regarding 1929 – there was a volatility spike in the 2Q and THEN the October crash.

    If this is another 1929 – then I can’t wait to see your posts in about six months.

    Fly,

    I’m afraid we have some slow times ahead of us though… after that carnage and now historic rip, we’re due for some consolidation.

    Could be a good time for a vacation soon. November should be dead.

    Question for the experienced traders:

    If we saw margin clerks bitchslapping the longs last week, are we going to see the opposite on a day like today.

    Are the margin clerks going to force the shorts to cover?

    jig – my experience is that when you try to “make back losses” you are acting from desperation and will make worse mistakes. do not gamble. you will be deballed. i have learned from past mistakes.

    especially true if you don’t know the diff between their and there.

    good luck

    Fly. I think you should get yourself checked out for Bi-polar disorder. You do fit this market well. Enjoy your day and prepare yourself for” doomsday fly” to return very soon.
    We are closed in canuckistan but open for business tommorrow. Of course we could you any charity coming our way. Our dollar is in the toilet, all because the world still thinks america rocks. Sad, so Sad. How about a Canada- Japan alliance to pick over the carcass of yankee industry?

    Housing in Alberta, BC and Saskatewan are all headed into the toilet, too. Canada is just on the edge of a major housing correction.

    Like the “slow” cousin, Canada is three years behind the US in terms of a housing crash.

    Canadian banks are going to get fucked.

    You’re kidding, right?

    Just checking…

    I don’t know how it is in the US, but in Canada, Thanksgiving is a goofy holiday. I don’t know anyone who “gives thanks”, just a bunch of people who use it as an excuse to see each other (many family members only do it by obligation) and eat turkey together.
