  1. You do know you are the man of the year in a village full of morons right?

    “He reportedly also has strong ties with Iranian oil companies from which he continues to benefit from the rising brent.”

    I’m not an expert on Iran sanctions, but are you sure what you were doing was legal?

    Shake Shak is obviously an overhyped stock. I don't know about shorting the Mexican McDonalds.

  4. I appreciate your concern but we are trying to get in ahead of the curve--- yes, you are correct about rates etc but the markets are anticipatory mechanicisms. Buy/sell rumours and do the opposite once it becomes fact.

    By the time folks are competing for available credit at unreasonable rates it will be too late to profit from shorts and the bull will have started once again. Peace. Surf

  5. Except most of your views displayed the worst possible market timing skills. I mean it's embarrassing to have a way lower than 50% hit rate even with months and sometimes even years of hind sight. Nobody held you to your recommendation a day later but if even at any give point in time within a year or even more your recommendations still look like shit then maybe you should consider a different career. Even a free of charge paper poster existence at ET then becomes a questionable use of your time.

    astute words nursebee. Like yourself I think we are in the early to mid stages of a big bull. QE has only just begun in Europe. There are still plenty of people around who are willing to short and that is a sure sign that we are going up up up baby.

    Does speaking of oneself in third person (like the title of the thread) lend weight to one's credibility? MS does that a lot. Additionally, he likes to use the plural pronoun we in a lot of calls. "We see this doing that..."

    What is the point of that, exactly?

    The editorial "we" seems the most appropriate.

  10. Thank you, Ditch. Those without a firm grip on the english language seem to run rampant on this site lately.
