Casting Call Arrives: 1999 Party Continues Unabated

RobotTrader's picture




 

Yet another rotation engineered by some Chop House upgrade of the semiconductors, which sent some of the chip stocks into Outer Space.  Investors never sell, they just switch from one Keno Table to another, sell one group, and reinvest in another.  All part of the coordinated effort to keep the party going.

By the way, anyone here ever date an aspiring actress in Los Angeles?  It's pure hell.  When they are not working, they are despondent and borderline psycho.  Bank account drained while the credit card bills get racked up by continuous weekly manicures, pedicures, Botox injections, hair coloring, clothes shopping, etc.

Unless they are spirited enough to leave their crummy 1-bedroom La Cienega apartment built in the 1940's and fly to Vegas each weekend to be a high end escort, or drive down to Newport Beach to be a waitress at the Gulfstream or something.

But then, out of the blue, they will get a "casting call", and suddenly life is good.

That's what happened today with the semiconductor upgrade, as many of these stocks were in a slump but they suddenly went wild....

 

 

Meanwhile, "investors" were taking profits in oil stocks and jamming the proceeds into various junker plays, like near-bankrupt companies such as Sunrise Assisted Living, up 45% today...

Hey, even the skanks like Jeri Ryan get a casting call once in awhile.

 

Here's an example of some of the games being played.

TQNT gets nailed last week, no doubt this chart looks like a failure...

But shortly thereafter, a "strategic upgrade" rebounds this stock....

All designed to keep most fund managers bewildered and befuddled...

Goldman has thrown a great party, but they are underwater on the derivatives trade.

The market is still at the party, but everyone is expecting the fire alarm to go off sometime soon. But, the party is so much fun, that despite knowing the building will burn down, people keep eating, drinking an having fun. Besides, where else can you see maria bartoromo and the other cnbc girls dance like naked whores?

But, when the alarm hits, and the people head towards the exits, look out. Many will lose all they have as they are stampeded heading towards the door.

Neophyte to ZH here.

So wouldn't it be safe to short any medium quality stock or is that even to risky, to wit Countrywide, WM, etc.

So Robo, if Jeri and Jack stayed together, and kept using the cages and whips, he could've won the Illinois seat and Barack would've had to find another route to the Nobel one point four mil...

If we're doing 1999 all over again does that mean this time I actually get to go to that playboy party in Panama City with that model instead of having to drive my mom around while her car was in the shop?

That would be awesome.

Robo...great post as usual.  Wondering if you saw this yesterday? It is about how a price collapse for Latvian hookers and the number of extramarital affairs in the  U.K. are both good indicators for their respective underlying economies. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601039&sid=aSRh7Cf2DTrU   I think I recall something about selling the DAX when the 20 DMA price for for a blowjob in Riga falls below the 50 DMA that you short the DAX.   Maybe a new Case-Schiller type of index will be in the offing?

Biggest bubble in history. Anything learned from 2008. Nope, absolutely nothing.
