Stocks Slide As Gartman Goes "Long Of One Unit Of The US Equity Market:"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

It just never, ever fails. From this morning's Gartman letter:

SHARE PRICES AROUND THE WORLD ARE STRONGER and the news from Scotland should serve to keep the global bull market intact for markets do indeed disdain confusion and the confusion over the UK’s future has been relieved. All things being otherwise equal, this is supportive of shares generally.

 

Stare then... do not merely look; stare!... at the chart of the S&P at the bottom left of p.1 and try if you will to see anything bearish in that chart.

 

 

The “channel” defining the trend is stunningly well defined; the lows have held time after time after time, and hoping to be as clinically honest as we can be, presently we are but in the middle of this upward sloping channel. Certainly it may end at any time and many have argued that it has time after time in the past, but the trend obtains; the bears are proven wrong and every time we move from bullish to neutral we pay a price for having done so. There is a lesson to be learned here; would that we had learned it.

 

Long of One Unit of the US equity market:

 

To make if official, we were buyers of “aluminium” yesterday, to align our recommendations with those equity positions we have in our retirement fund. We do not name individual equities in TGL, but everyone knows which company here in America we mean. As long as the lows made earlier this week hold we’ll be a buyer and try our best to remain long, with out-of-the-money calls sold against it as a yield enhancement.

In short: best $29.95 one could ever spend.

You know what you do with a guy who's constantly flip-flopping their plan every week?  You walk away from them.

It's one thing to trade in and out based on some plan or a general theme.  But when the plan itself is what changes every 10 minutes, you don't want to be that lost.  Ever.

Roger that. I think the basic idea is to buy what's underpriced and sell what's overpriced; but maybe I have that confused.

Stocks down, did some of those mealy mouth, little Wall Street cocksuckers not appreciate the gloating, in your face, fuck you, the Chinese trillionaires just gave them on CNBC!!!

LMFAO,

They haven't seen shit yet, when it comes to humble fucking pie, that crowd has in store for those WS motherfuckers!!! And guess what, I'm applauding them all the way to mass groups of Wall Street bankers and stock holders, jumping off building, I hope they enslave and impoverish the whole lot of them, and then if they make the mistake of crawling out into the Main Street of America, they'll be greeted with AR15 salutes, but otherwise buy away Boyz, bankrupt the whole fucking place!!

Gartman's clock is broken because he dropped it on his foot then he had to buy it.

How do you know it is right twice per day if it is digital with no working display?

The broken clock with no display is how Gartman learned that is it always good to be seen.

I have perhaps a stupid question here, but can someone explain to my why SPY says it is only down (0.15%) 31 cents to 200.57 when the previous close was 201.82? I guess I'm getting conflicting previous day close results as OptionsXpress says it was 201.82 while Yahoo says it was 200.88. Different places are quoting different values for SPY and it confused me to log in to see SPY simultaneously trading down from yesterday but showing the stock opened in the green:

Seekingalpha and marketwatch have it right.  Yahoo finance is wrong.  Yahoo puts up some oddball numbers sometimes.  Not sure why, but I've scratched my head over some of their charts, too.

I would agree if channels and trends where valid, but they are NOT. 

Rainbows and Unicorns. 

I would post a chart, but that would take all the fun out of it. 

2008 declines hardly a downturn compared to what this tape has built up energy for. Makes the dot com bubble look small.

should be really fun to trade.

Alcoa was a much better buy at $8 a year ago than ~$17 where Dennis went long.  Not to mention what looks like a double top.  I would say I'm surprised that he still has investors or subscribers (besides those looking to fade his every call), but human stupidity stopped surprising me long ago.

What a massive cheese ball.  He needs his tits ripped off.  

 

Who talks like that, he truly is the Shakespeare of the markets, OH THE IRONY:

"This life, which had been the tomb of his virtue and of his honour, is but a walking shadow; a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

"The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool"
