wndysrf Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 AMAT touched off a jam job in the AfterMarket last night, but as usual, as Michael Splinter showed up on CrapVision in today?s PreMarket, the stock was promptly torched for 4% before the usual Repomen HeatMappers ramped it into the close. But the hot news of today was not AMAT. Attention spans among the HedgeHogs rarely last more than half a day. The hot news today was the upcoming Victoria?s Secret Fashion Show, as described on the front page of The Wall Struck Journal, the leading publication among the speculators, which by automatic association, are also obsessed with sex. Tonight, this year?s show will take place at the New York State Armory in Manhattan, limited to just 630 participants, ?who will get to spend 18 minutes with 26 women preening in 62 barely-there outfits, with an after party session to be able to rub elbows with famous mannequins such as Naomi Campbell, Tyra Banks, and Heidi Klum.? "In the business world, Limited Brands (LTD) has done its best to whip up a frenzy for its sexy franchise. During the 2000 show in Cannes, several Wall Street anal cysts were invited. Lately, a few life-size cutouts of Victoria?s Secret models have turned up in anal cysts? offices." At one benefit auction last year, the most sought after item bid were a dozen tickets to the Vikki Secret show, which went for $560,000. One of the winning bidders was David Gibson, a New York hedge fund manager. He said that ?the jealousy was massive? amongst his friends. This year?s tickets, which went for more than $12,000 a piece, were picked up by Donald Trump, Carson Daly, Denzel Washington, and Sean P. Diddy Combs, as well as a hand picked group of socialites, based on ?who?s current, who?s on shows like Letterman, who?s in town, and which celebrities people want to see.? So imagine this picture: 24-year old HedgeFund Gamers, sitting at their desks, staring at the full size cutout of Heidi Klum, receiving secret phone calls from the Matrix-sponsored floor traders, giving them a heads up of the upcoming Repo Blast and subsequent Futures Jam in the SOX pit. Speaking of sex, remember earlier this year when all the auto manufacturers were touting their easy financing, 0%, 0 down, no payments, etc. giveaways?? Remember the Mitsubishi TV commercials, showing 20-something partygoers piled inside of a brand new Eclipse, high on the latest designer drugs, driving through tunnels, within a hairsbreadth of pulling over and having an orgy? Mitsubishi offered the most aggressive financing incentives, and according to Tuesday?s Wall Struck Journal, Mitsubishi?s credit arm has been getting hammered with repos and defaults from these 20-year old partiers who bought these cars with no intention of ever making any payments. Mitsubishi immediately ended the incentives, and has now changed its advertising to highlight ?vehicle features? instead of giveaway promotions. ?????????. In the meantime, the market action continues to be extraordinary. The U.S. Peso remains in a virtual freefall, yet there is an unrelenting demand for U.S. Financial Exotica, whether it be tech stocks, mortgage paper, consumer loans, or T-Bones. Cabal Forces continued to slam gold and silver via short selling, but panicked hedgers were waiting with buy orders on every dip. Its amazing to witness the nerve of the Bullion Bankers who are shorting in front of the Great Inflation Train, the day after a historic breakout. The CRB Index stormed to a new high today, led by rice, pork, palladium, cocoa, and a dramatic reversal in the energy futures. From today?s Wall Struck Journal: ?China?s soaring demand for U.S. crops is fueling a big price rally that is sending a jolt through the American farm economy. The USDA expects China to import a record 808 million bushels of soybeans over the next year. China is devouring U.S. soybeans at a time when U.S. farmers are harvesting their smallest crop in 8 years, and heavy rains and flooding across China?s northern plains caused extensive damage to farm fields. Michael Swanson, an agricultural economist at Wells Fargo said he expects retail food prices to climb up to 4% in 2004.? It?s developing into the Perfect Storm for short sellers in the commodity markets. Record supply shortages, on top of record money printing and liquidity. Watching crude and natural gas futures very carefully, as any big move in this sector is likely to send the CRB parabolic. The Wheelbarrow Economy is now in full force, yet The Matrix continues to publish bogus CPI data and the Fed says ?there is no inflation? to limit the amount of CPI-indexed payouts from the government. Yet another Grand Fraud of Colossal Proportions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machinehead Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 The CRB Index stormed to a new high today, led by rice, pork, palladium, cocoa, and a dramatic reversal in the energy futures. Watching crude and natural gas futures very carefully, as any big move in this sector is likely to send the CRB parabolic. The CRB is less than 3.5% below 263.80, its 1996 high. Beyond that, it would be into 13-year high territory. We could start talking about a secular rally in commodity prices, or a secular bear market in the dollar if you prefer. Crude oil closed at $31.90 / bbl, just short of the $32 breakout level. As Metamucil pointed out in IDS, crude has an inverse H&S pattern going, which could mean a quick run to $40 once it breaks past $32. Price leads the news, and it's easy to imagine several ways that $40 crude oil can happen. Not so nice for folks driving 3-ton monster trucks and SUVs though. Maybe not for the stock market either, which is more like a Coppertone Brown 1969 Chysler "beached whale" station wagon with a blown headgasket, making 105 mph on the I-15 eastbound outta Barstow. Las Vegas or bust! Bwa ha ha ha ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 Looks like all The Boys got the memo to jump into the drug sector today. Wal-Mart's numbers sent a massive shock wave through the system today. Anybody else been watching the action on S these past few weeks. What in the hell is holding that thing up? Has anybody on this board, or anybody you know, walked into to a Sears store and spent any money in the past year? They sold off their only money making venture, their credit card division, and from my perspective, I don't think anyone would notice if they simply closed their stores and went away. How is it that this stock is being gamed with the same furvor as SNDK? Who placed an order for $12 million worth of this stuff this afternoon at 2:45 at a 52 week high, on the same day that WMT is getting crushed? The Matrix must have had a cow this afternoon when some secretary at Dell hit the wrong button and released Dell's numbers during todays trading. This totally screws up the "script" for tomorrow. Now their going to have to come with some other extraordinary BS to feed to the sheeple before the bell in order to stay on schedule for DOW 10,000.

NYMEX crude ends up on fund buys after dip on data Bend over Cali.... Over 32 per bbl.. and ULR (unleaded regular) will flip over the 2 dollar zone, across the nation..again. $40 could it put up there near 3.00. Wowza... Steve McQueen will need to ride the bus.

Hypertiger Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 Mark it is not that there is no "debt" inflation...it's that there is not enough...That is the official position of the people in charge of the FED... They know full well that if debt inflation stops the system will collapse... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
