For Whom the "WELLS" tolls ... have you seen my ass?



Have you seen my ass?  

BOTD could have used an "inner tube floaty" today ... 

 Wells Fargo (WFC),  who always finds GOD under $26, was the excuse Mr. Market needed to FUCK the SHORTS!

  Life was "too easy" on the SHORT side, and the "too much, too quick" rule showed us again why it's a RULE. 

We took "some" recent profits in ORCL, HRB, DECK, URBN, CAT, etc  .... but not enough, we lost our ASS today! 

MUST TAKE PROFITS in 2008. 

p.s.  POTP added more puts on IBM over $126 today ... we are confident IBM will disappoint and trade lower, thus starting the next downward leg for BIG TECH.     If/when IBM rallies prior to tomorrow's EARNINGS, we will buy more puts of power.   With our large CASH is KING position, we have money to risk, and SHORT IBM is our play.   
  
SHORT BUS:  holding puts on HRB, HBC, ORCL and adding to IBM

BOTD LONGs: HK, AGU, TGT .... and for some whacked out rally monkey reason , we bought RJF today.   RJF!!!???!  .... why?  we're not sure.  we just didn't want to be like everyone else and buy UYG.   Being like everyone else caused today's short killing rally.

BUY ON THE DIP said...

today's rally and yesterdays recovery has been slow and deadly.

it just ticks higher, ever so slowly.... no pops, no dips, just pain.

Any idea when hk will settle on the dip and come back up?

BUY ON THE DIP said...

energy, oil, natgas.....all are going lower. HK just goes with the sector.

but, have faith in floyd.

its not an earnings story, or a sector story.....its a valuation play. and a strategic assets play.

HK has land leases that are more valuable than the stock reflects. stick with it.

p.s. natgas will go higher and HK will outperform.

when you trade using options,

when you buy a put, when you sale the put how long do you have to wait till you can use that money again ,


also if a put at 5.00 then it goes to 0 the next day , then in 3 day it does back up to 5.00. do you still have that option or did you lose it when it went to 0. ?

3 days for the transaction to clear.
