I’ll be around. 

I regret very much to announce that effective immediately, I will step down as an elite of the elite, a tabbed blogger at iBankCoin.com.  As everyone knows, iBankCoin.com is the only first tier stock blog on the internet.  Having a tab on this site is no joke, it is a highly desired privilege.  I was [...]

UPDATE: Bought (FXP: 90.86 +4.51%) [...]

Things are looking brighter in CMBS.  Market sentiment improved last week on the Lehman Brothers/UBS securitization.  The top AAAs traded at Swaps + 190 bps, 35 bps inside of Citigroup’s recent deal.  This could be a sign of sustained improvement, or it could be people going long to cover their short positions on the CMBX [...]

I sold all my (DUG: 33.53 -3.84%) today.  I’m done with that game.
I made some “Ragin Cajun special” call trades on (AMZN: 82.37 +0.29%) and (MELI: 30.33 -2.16%), for some real nice intraday gains.  I had no meetings today and was able to focus on the trades. 
I’m just plain sick of being a bear.  So [...]
