Milk the Farmer

It’s about time someone took a fucking shovel to the head of the U.S. farmer. Those lazy fuckers have been living fat off the land, for  too long. As you know, historically, farmers are known to be poor. I say, let them be poor, yet again.

Godly ways to profit from this is to sell short the ag names, specifically POT, DE, CF, MON, MOS and AG.

Basically, “The Fly” is watching corn and shit. I’ve dispatched my voodoo physician to “bring hell and donuts” to the people who are long grain (donuts are for their arteries).

No need to beat the same drum over and over, but I will. I’m long VSE, AVR and BIOF.

FTK rebounded late in the day, as “non-fucktards” realized that Sidoti’s downgrade was erroneous.

Solar stocks met their maker today. I agree with RC: sell short FSLR, under $270.

All of the assholes on CNBC are crying “America’s Oil Crisis.” Let me tell you, this is nothing. Wait until fuckers find out there is no more oil, and that shit “super spikes” to $2,000 per barrel. Then what?

“The Death of America”?

All I know, being long PCZ, ARD, FTK, NOV, RIG, LEI, CLNE and PZE will make me loads of money, eventually.

Finally, I believe yesterday’s FXP closing price was erroneous. It gapped up $1 in the final minutes of trade. My guess, early this morning, the powers that be adjusted the price of FXP to reflect the value of its components. Long story short: CHL, LFC and PTR look like shit. I anticipate some upside in FXP, shortly.

NOTE: Moody’s disclosure that credit ratings were inaccurate due to some “coding error” is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. MCO is a short, no doubt.

    We will never see $2,000 barrel oil, cause we will invade another Middle Eastern country and take their oil; and I think its an excellent idea!

    All kidding aside, read the Michal W. Masters Testimony about Index speculation,; you can argue all the price discovery theory that speculators provide, but his argument on the bubble thats forming is indeed quite interesting.

    I’m calling a fucking top; oil is getting too much attention…and it ain’t like there’s a shortage of supplies like in the fucking 70’s.

    Farmers are so wealthy now that they fired Willie Nelson from Farm Aid and brought in Steve Forbes and Warren Buffet and they just sit up on the stage and read out financial reports.

    Peak oil is a scam, just like DeBeers.

    Regarding oil, I’m wondering what’s going to give in China.

    As I understand it (and I’m relying totally on other sources here), China’s government sets the price at which the integrated Chinese oils can sell gasoline.

    Last I read, the government gasoline price level wasn’t unreasonably low versus the price of oil, but it would be unreasonably low now if it hasn’t gone up.

    Assuming that the above is still accurate (if it ever was), there will be a lot of pressure building on the oil companies. Either they bleed a lot of cash that they would otherwise be using to seek out new supplies to match growing demand, or the government raises gasoline prices substantially and creates a lot of grumbling at a time when China is trying to pretty itself up for the Olympics.

    Anyone read anything about how China and India are being affected by oil prices?

    My wife’s uncle has a great situation.

    He has a huge chicken house for raising laying hens. They come in on a truck as “peeps” and stay in his chicken house until they are old enough to start laying, at which point the hens are loaded back onto trucks for transport to the egg farm.

    Last I talked to him about how the business works, he told me that he doesn’t pay for the feed. If that still holds, his input prices haven’t gone up much. What has gone up is the value of all the chicken crap he collects. He composts it and uses it on his fields to fertilize his corn crops.

  27. Bill Clinton

    True story… Senator Hillary Clinton was invited to address a major gathering of The American Indian nation recently in upper New York State. She spoke for almost an hour on her future plans for increasing every Native
    American’s present standard of living, should she one day become the first female President. She referred to her
    career as a New York Senator, how she had signed ‘YES’, for every Indian issue that came to her desk for approval. Although the Senator was vague on the details of her plan, she seemed most enthusiastic about her future ideas for helping her ‘red sisters and brothers’. At the conclusion of her speech, the Tribes presented the Senator with a plaque inscribed with her new Indian name – Walking Eagle. The proud Senator then departed in her motorcade, waving to the crowds. A news reporter later inquired of the group of chiefs of how they had come to select the new name given to the Senator. They explained that Walking Eagle is the name given to a bird so full of shit, it can no longer fly.

    You have to be fucking kidding me. My local fucking Thai place has decided to raise fucking prices on me by a fucking $1 for fuel surcharge and then they fucking stopped taking credit cards because of the cost. This fucking enrages me and I feel like arresting them for this act of “stealing”. This is getting out of control.

    On another note: Devildog you got ripped off if you paid 127 SMN.

    Okay, I have to say “nice job” on the “Milk the farmers” John Deere logo knockoff on the cover, Jeremy.

    But ‘splain to me, Loosey — why didn’t you just do a riff on the actual logo?

    Isn’t it harder to find a randome picture of a yellow deer siloheuette (which is what I think you did there) than just taking this, and putting the iBC logo on it?

    You’re not worried about copywrite law, are you?

    And some even older than that that were not very similar.

    Peak oil is a fact. Will it happen in the next 20 years? Maybe not, but it will. Fly is right, there are shortages on a global scale. Just always remember this, the sun will in fact turn into a red giant one day, swallow up the earth and the Dow will go to 0.00.

    Crude, yeah peak oil is true, but everyone on wallstreet knows it… What they do not know is how long it will last, and thus fear and speculation drives up price like the peaks tommorrow. oil companies got sort of a ogopoly, but I don’t blame them, If I had a source of income that I had to ship away to sell when oil prices climb, hell, I’d sit on it and demand top dollar for it too.
    I don’t think oil shortage is as bad, and in my opinion, the demand of oil will not be enough to compensate at much higher prices. There’s some serious fundimental resistance somewhere between $135 and $140, because refineries can’t buy it at those prices the only way it could go up past that, is if they didn’t give a shit about refineries, and launched prices to apeal to only the elite. This could happen if every oil company “went on strike” and refused to supply people with oil. Oil would then go up to Fly’s target of $400 “designer oil” or more and then “scabs” would start providing and crash goes the oil anyways.

    Meanwhile there’s the largest find in Brazil in over 30 years, and the Bakken is estimated at billions of barrels compared to a previous estimate of under a hundred million (in ’95).

    oil in 10 years, I’d like to think there’s a solution involving algee, they’ve been able to do it, just not effeciently in mass quantitites.. if not it will go higher until it doesn’t exist.
    But oil in the next 3? I think the low price of oil will surprise many of you modern day “dot commers”

    Allow me to introduce to you “irrational exhuberance”
    “it’s only up from here” – some quote right before 1929
    “Land is limited, and people will always want a home!” – some quote before real estate bubble pop
    “Banks are always safe investments” -some asshat I’m sure.
    “The internet changes everything, and eventually everyone in the world will use it!” – pre tech/dot bomb bubble
    “Soon every country will want oil, and there will always be a demand, the peak of production is here!”

    When everyone including politicians talk about oil companies, you know there’s a strong likelihood of a major retracement.
    Hey I understand why you wouldn’t want to sell, but at least consider buying some protective OTM puts at least so if it does crash, you save your Ass(ets).

    The earth will run dry of oil around 2055. Pemex, the Mexican National Oil Company peaked at 3 mill/day 3 years ago. They are down to 2.8 million today and they estimate that in 10 years, it will be 2 mill/day.
