The Used: The Taste of Ink
Closing Comments
Even though I made a big fuss over MVIS, I still lost money this week, down 0.47%. Across the board, my longs went down (except for GME) and my shorts went up. I fucking hate that more than anything else, aside from watching Maria Bartiromo interview someone important.
As for today's trading, it was a win for the bulls. Despite the decline in the broader indices, momentum stocks were blinking green all day, as the sub 100 IQ'ers rolled up their sleeves to buy more fucking RACK.
Even though the SMH closed down, many Semiconductor stocks were on fire. For example: IRSN, INTT, TXCC, NETL, PLAY, LSCC, SIRF, COHU, IBIS, ACTG, SMTL, SIRF, CMOS and QSND were all up more than 3%. Furthermore, extensive gains were found in the oil patch, as violence continues to threaten supply. Within the oil sector, GGR keeps popping up on my daily screens.
Bottom line: If this is the worst the bears can do, they are in for a serious beatdown-- sometime very soon.

Quick Alert: Tiny Search Engine Stocks on Fire
Apparently, the speculators are piling into 3rd tier search engine stocks. I know MAMA is set to launch a new engine for video-- and LOOK impressed with numbers. But, come on, please, these companies suck some serious wind.
Anyway, the following piece of crap search engine stocks are on fire:
MAMA +19.5%
LOOK +16.6%
MIVA +7.8%
SINA+4.9%
REDF+ 4.8%
SIFY +3.3%
And, here are some other search engine stocks that are not on fire:
ANSW, QPSA, TOMO, LOCM (formerly INCX) and IIJI
NOTE: It's not a traditional search engine, but Traffic.com (TRFC) looks pretty good and has cool technology. I can see it being implemented in navigation and GPS systems.

Sector Spotlight: Semiconductors
First off, our Governments data collection department, specifically for employment data, should be replaced with a fucking robot that spits out random numbers and drinks beer all day-- like Bender from Futurama.
The numbers were great, but entirely unreliable. Therefore, I am not happy, at all, with the data.
As for today's trading:
I get the hunch a lot of people feel betrayed by the incompetence of the Gov't, with regards to the employment data. Furthermore, the market is a little top heavy up at these levels and will probably sell off.
As for the Semi's:
So far, they are holding up very well. We are seeing early gains in MRVL, ISIL, WFR, TRID etc. However, most of the gains are tiny and could easily swing the other way, should we get a bad ISM number.
UPDATE: The ISM numbers were better than expected. Perhaps the new rumor will be of rate hikes, not cuts.
The following Semi's have mojo:
IRSN +12.6%
INTT+ 8.1%
ISIL +3.8%
SIMO +3.6%
QI +3.5%
COHU +3.5%
VTSS +3.5%

Benny Goodman: Moonglow (Live)
Closing Comments
Unless today's benign down day was some sort of evil, clever ploy by the bears, to get more bulls on the markets carpet, they missed out on a great opportunity to take control.
However, if tomorrow's economic data is really bad, they (bears) may get another opportunity to steam roll the happy-go-lucky dip buyer.
Bottom line: Today was a big win for the bulls and for select tech stocks like EBAY, and select Retail stocks like GES. If the sellers cannot take advantage soon, I will be forced to cover my new shorts for losses. Fuckers.
NOTE: After the close WFMI reported an ugly number and forcast. What does that mean? The consumer prefers to buy fucking iPods, instead of fresh, organic, high quality produce?

The Bears are P*****S
Today is the day the bears need to take control. So far, they are exhibiting little backbone, by letting the bulls run up the techies.
Frankly, stocks like SIRF, BRCM, GRMN and VCLK should not be going up as much as they are today. It is the cowardice of the sellers, coupled with the IQ-less of our money managers that is leading to a barely down day-- when it should be down triple digits.
Also, it's worth noting the Trannies are on the chopping block today.
My advice is simple:
Lock in gains or start hedging.

Position Updates: MVIS
Considering the stock is up 25% today, I thought an update would be appropriate.
Basically, the company announced they linked up with a major Asian OEM, in order to mass produce product. So, one would think, MVIS may be on the verge of landing a major contract with a cell phone manufacturer or automobile company, like MOT or F.
In my opinion, $2.50 is still very cheap, considering they have a portfolio of disruptive technologies that may impact everyday life in America and abroad.
However, before I get ahead of myself, let's wait until tonight's earnings announcement to get a better picture of how the company is progressing.
UPDATE: It's now up 42%! Where is that guy who was mocking me now?

Sector Spotlight: Retail
In my opinion, the weaker-than-expected productivity data is terrible news for the bulls. Basically, if corporations are no longer able to squeeze their employees, the next step to increase profits will be job cuts. When corporations start firing people, watch out. The consumer will get poleaxed.
However, considering how "assholish" the dip buyers are, I wouldn't be surprised to see him/her buy on the bad news. Frankly, that's what asshole dip buyers do-- it's their main function.
With my money, I am going to sell to him/her and bulk up on some trading shorts, like BRCM or any struggling retailer.
As for the Retailers:
It really is a tale of two cities. On one end, companies like GES, CTRN and ZUMZ are on fire. On the other, companies like CHS, FRED and WMT have as much foot traffic as a Florida Marlin baseball game.
In short, if the economy slows the Retailers have to do worse-than-expected. Furthermore, with all the hype and overvaluation in the sector, I feel they may be ripe for a good drubbing, or two.
NOTE: MVIS looks damn good today. Earnings or lack of are being reported after today's close.

Local H: Bound For The Floor
Closing Comments
Many of you probably think I am out of my fucking mind. For the last week or so, I have been uber bullish and have been buying as many high multiple tech stocks I could muster-- even an airline stock. Then, towards the end of trading today, I fucking bailed on many positions and went short SIRF.
My reasoning is simple:
I don't want to be the last bull at the party, ever. I am not stupid. I see the market declining and perhaps a change in sentiment, so I reacted. If I were to just sit and watch my positions decline, then I would never outperform.
In short, I am at my best when I react to a shifting market, instead of riding it out.
So, for now, I will continue to hold the majority of my long positions and add a few shorts to the mix "just in case."
Frankly, I thought today's dip was different from the others, as the asshole dip buyer was absent from the action.
My current bear watch list includes:
MNST, SIRF, ATHR, RACK, CROX, LRCX, SLAB, ANAD, CCJ and TSCM.

Look Out for the Dip Buyers
A few week's ago, I wanted every dip buyer on a pike. However, now that I am naked long, I am rooting for those fuckers to start throwing their money around, like drunken aristocrats at a Sotheby's auction.
If the market finds support here and trades up, the bears will feel dejected and likely cover their piddly positions. My money is on the bulls, obviously.
For now, the momentum is still in the bull court. Moreover, I have noticed nice trading action in the following stocks:
ENTU, FLWS, ZNH, LMRA, MVIS, EGHT, TWPG, MA, BKC, BSI, FMX, EXP, HYDL, OII, ZEUS, RTI, AG, MDV, CI, PLAY, ASTSF, GFX, IVAC, RACK, PAY, ATNI, BTM, TMB, ISE, ICE, DIVX and NNDS.
NOTE: Bob Pisani should do his "market topping" schtick in a fucking bear costume.

Sector Spotlight: Gold
Even though the indices are barely down, I don't like how the markets are trading, so far. There is a lot of red in techville (GRMN) and green in Gold.
Today's weakness is fairly broad and has the markings of an ugly day. For now, I have no real hedges, except for a very minor position in MZZ-- but will consider opening one or two short positions "just in case."
Also, it's worth noting the Gold sector catching fire, while the broader indices weaken. That tells me, someone is interested in flight to quality. Not a good sign for the markets.
NOTE: Aside from Gold, there is strength in all the metals.

Sector Spotlight: Biotech
Today's market looks tired. I anticipate a minor sell off, sometime soon, in order to consolidate recent gains. Plus, every fucker with a podium and an audience is trying to talk the market down. Therefore, I feel the sellers may try to capitalize on the current negative sentiment.
However, if the market does sell off, it will be temporary and an opportunity to add to positions.
Thanks to MRK ripping themselves off, buying RNAI (102% premium), the Biotech sector is abuzz. Frankly, I hate small Biotech. More often than not, they are nothing more than a loaded dice roll, which comes up snake eyes 90% of the time. For example: Look at the action in AVNR today.
However, I do know some people who make a terrific living, gaming the complicated world of Biotech. In my opinion, it makes sense to invest in established names, like: DNA, GILD or CEPH, opposed to the smaller ones.

Because of the leg down in oil, I feel the major indices will enjoy another leg up. While CNBC, spearheaded by Bob Pisani, tries to talk the market down-- it is making new highs.
Considering the strength of earnings, coupled with high short interest ratio's, stocks can continue to go higher-- as everyone piles in ahead of the holiday shopping season.
Bottom line: If possible, try to avoid the earnings diceroll and catch this rising tide by buying established companies, such as ORCL, BBY, DOX etc.
As for me:
I have not been this bullish in years. Not much more to say, except Bob Pisani is a dumb fucker.

Sector Spotlight: Drugs
The elections are right around the corner and it looks as if the Dems will punish the GOP. If so, there is a strong possibility that stem cell research will become "legal" again. Furthermore, companies like HAL, GD, MO and co. will likely live in the doghouse, indefinitely.
Frankly, a Democrat Congress will likely be very benign, considering they will have to "behave" -- in order to run a candidate for the Whitehouse in 2008. For now, I feel taxes will remain low and the market will not be hurt by a Dem takeover.
The real question is: What sectors will do the best under Democratic leadership?
Under the Clinton years, excluding the fucking technology banana's, Drug stocks outperformed. This time around, I feel traditional Drug stocks may underperform, mainly because of the high cost of prescription drugs and the prospect of Chuck Schumer putting his boot on big pharma's neck. Instead, I believe Biotech and Generic drug stocks will flourish under the Dems.
Beaten up stocks like BRL, TEVA, WPI, PRX, MYL may bounce. And, Stem Cell plays like STEM, CCEL, ASTM, GERN, VIAC, ACTC may become momentum plays.
