ParticipantEngage the stupids and profit off them. Hey I’ll admit I got burned some today, but then again I said I wasn’t greedy, so I sold off a lot of my shorts/puts yesterday.
My thought is to wait till this 1-2 week upswing has played out then load back up for the ride down. Each time being careful not to be too greedy.
My goal is to make money while others are losing it. Primarily as proof that I wasn’t crazy, but also because I’m probably going to end up losing my job and I’d better have a cash bulwark.

ParticipantEx-SD or someone needs to explain how Bernanke cutting the rate is going to help. Didn’t Japan go through this very same thing in the not too distant pass? I am surprised by the stocks today and sold some, even though ended up closing higher. I ended up breaking even from the downslide. The overall picture still doesn’t look good. Can’t imagine this recent rally b/c of rate cuts be anything that will be long-lasting.
OT- 7 arrests today 20 million in bait and switch scam in realtor mortgage fraud in L.A.

Now there’s a sensible bear. One whose paws have been burned in the past (I can sympathize, FWIW.)
As a short idea (or maybe another paw-scorching idea,) I think the much beloved “big cap industrials” will soon see an earnings squeeze, thanks to the actions of the Fed in providing a nice tailwind to the current inferno in PPI prices. That’s probably an idea for next quarter’s earnings, though.
