Updated Position (cute bubbly longs)

I'm working on related postings, including Lecture-IV now for Battle, so I'm merely going to spit-out the updated position here. There has been more than enough activity lately to lose track.

Market action has kept cute and cuddly since the gap-higher Wednesday. I've continued to scale further long since the post that morning.

Fortunately for me, I remain an idiot.

Total Position
: Currently 4.59-to-1 net-long, 110% invested
(into slight margin overnight; looking to resume under 100%

Asleep at the Whee-lo (money manager's pullback chamber choir)


Nothing warms me more than a market which moves only higher (seemingly), coincident to a chorus or warnings (daily) why we're going to pull-back - very very shortly; most certainly; since it makes such perfectly logical sense.

Sure sure sure - we have an election on Tuesday and the Fed's QE2 menu releasing Wednesday. We've run up ahead of these events and amply so. Any bum can tell you now we'll sell-off on the news.

So brilliant. May as well sleep-in a little longer.

Meanwhile you are just getting further and further from your benchmark as the market fails to cooperate. You're just too bright for such a ridiculous game, Mr. Manager. You buy your pullback, tough guy. You can even have my shares if you get one, I'm easy. You'll make your year still - there's going to be that year-end rally waiting there at lower levels - just to grace your ass! Christmas turkeys glazing, more full of shit than even you.

Yes yes, I know. Getting cheeky is dangerous sport. Fortunately I'm so old I get away with all kinds of murder. The trick is letting go of your thoughts, beliefs and words pretty much the minute you speak them. I don't even remember what I just said anyway. I could be net-short by the end of the day, I really don't care. Where's my sippy-cup?

At least though I have so many of these guys to tell me what I should be doing. Such peaches.

Kisses
