I have been closely following Doug Kass, a Street.com commentator who is red hot today for his gutty rally call. Jim Cramer is kissing his ass all day, and other small potatoes at Realmoney follow. But the truth is, Doug Kass called a rally on Feb 17Th, 10 days ago and 10% above the current price. He used the phrase "longest I have been in almost three years". Since then, he has been saying "having been net short for several years - I am now all in long" at Twitter. On Feb 27Th, he said "s and p futures hitting sell stop levels now ", a follower asked if he referred the general market or his own position, he did not answer. He disappeared for several more days until his prediction finally becomes correct today.
After 10 down days, 1 up day is normal; after 180 pts dive, a 33 pts bounce is expected. Why suddenly he is the hero? He would be a hero if the market gains back where it stood on Feb 17Th, he would be even a bigger hero if the market keeps rally afterwards. But certainly not right now, 1st correctness after 10 consecutive wrongness. It shows how pathetic and ignorance the financial professionals are at Thestreet.com. Bash them, I say!
