Happy 4th of July; America is Dead

The airlines, autos, banks and the retailers are all going under. Ironically, the fucking farmers are doing swell. Remember back in the 80’s, when those fuckers were as poor as cow shit? They even threw concerts (Farm Aid) for those assholes. Farmers were just walking away from their crops and moving to the ‘big city,’ like the fucking rubes they are.

I bet loads of those assholes took up executive positions at Bear Stearns.

Oh the irony.

I’m getting my face kicked in, long [[RIG]], [[ARD]], [[FTK]] and [[PCZ]] here. Thinking fast, trying to stem the bleeding, I bought a block of [[DUG]]. Ultimately, the oil names will rebound and hit new highs. However, we are in ‘fuck mode’ right now.

Get your guns and sharp blades ready. Soon enough, assholes with tow trucks will roll up to your house and jack you for your grub, via towing away your bullshit refrigerator, right out of your house.

Just know, “The Fly” sees shit in slow motion. I can see the hits coming, before they happen. Right now, I’m into all sorts of short positions, mostly for the fun of it.

After all, I am up nearly 55% year to date and I don’t need more money. However, it’s worth noting, I do want new money.

They really need to fire everyone on CNBC. If I were in charge, I’d replace them with comedians, like Chris Rock and Robin Williams.

Finally, I made a lot of moves today. Go reference my ‘Fly Buys/Sells’ for a detailed look. In short, I want to be a net buyer of energy stocks on this dip, while greedily hedged with DUG. Also, I want revenge against the devil, via long [[SMN]]. And, I have a variety of bank stocks that should be at zero. Therefore, I am short.

Also, I covered most of my [[HRB]] short. It’s too fucking lame.

Holy Shit Update: Go check [[NVDA]]. Go long [[SSG]] off of this disaster. Apparently, NVDA has a packaging issue. Off the top of my head, [[AMKR]] is into that type of shit. Short them too.

    The last bastion of hope for the bulls … Energy Stocks. Oh, but I assure you, The Bears are eventually going to rip the head of this sector off too!

    Warning to inferior permaidiots, this is no place for you to get cute.

    Let the skull fuckings proceed!

    BTW, At this time, I would just like to thank my cranium for a spectacular day. I will reward myself with a spectacular weekend! I will be heading off to Las Vegas tomorrow to visit friends, play a round of golf and skull fuck a pit boss or two. Ta-Ta!

    Repost : someone had the temerity to start buying shit and making new posts after I worte a brief compendium of things as they stand.

    Darn it Jakey, I thought you were gonna do a limit order at 14.40, as of yesterday. When I saw the 15 today, I thought you were like a rabbit’s foot on a key chain.

    aside.. I had postulated that Martay would destroy this bank just like he did Downey. Seems he is not intrested though.

    Big Mike, you seem like a considered gentleman and I defer to your judgement on DUG, as well as coal and steel. Going to open up a little short feeler on the trio and see what happens tomorrow.

    last aside.. calvino is still furious about the pump job the BOJ ran on the chf and eur. filthy douchebags.

    just one more aside.. LVS may or may not go into receivership.. ditto mgm. if wynn thinks it’s like a teflon duck, step on it and see if it quacks.

    Everything is being set up perfectly for Monday. Tomorrow we see further downside action perhaps even a 300 point loss on the Dow. The markets in Asia and Europe will take a HUGE dump on Friday while the US markets remain closed. Futures will collapse. Further downside in Europe and Asia on Monday. 1000 point down open for the Dow on Monday. That will be the bottom.

    CALVINO, Speaking of LVS it wasn’t too long ago when those fuckers on Fast Money were pumping it. It was trading for $100 and all they could talk about was Macau and expansion and growth etc etc. This POS trades at the most ridiculous PE ratio yet nobody cares. Stupid fuckers ! I actually owned this in the 70s rode it to the around 120 kicked my self in the rear when I saw it continue upwards to near 150. Now I am laughing. Too bad I didn’t short it though.

    After all, I am up nearly 55% year to date and I don’t need more money. However, it’s worth noting, I do want new money.

    FYI, this line of reasoning cracks me up almost as much as “Listen to me very quietly.”

    I don’t know why.

    They really need to fire everyone on CNBC. If I were in charge, I’d replace them with comedians, like Chris Rock and Robin Williams.

    I thought they’d put that plan into action years ago. Don’t Last Gasparino and Cramer do the Comedy Shoppe circuit?

    Also, I covered most of my (HRB: 21.88 +1.44%) short. It’s too fucking lame.

    2. Are you being escorted out to the back alley to be mercilessly beaten with large burlap sacks of coins? If not, why not?

    Listen to me now when I say that the resurrected and transfigured Jesus Christ Himself touched Whitney Houston’s vocal chords as He knit her together in her mother’s womb.

    That anthem video must be from the 80’s when she was in her prime.

    “And the rockets red glare…” Do you realize what is involved to sing that he way she did? The control? The intonation? The embrasure? The lung capacity? The abdomen? The elegant yet ferocious attack?

    Do people even wave flags anymore? Do people even sing like that anymore?

    Thanks for posting that.

    Ben — good questions.

    Actually, none of my egregious shorting wins ever see the inside of a bank. I have my brokerage accounts (neither of which are bank affiliated, btw) bring out packets of large unmarked bills in suitcases every evening.

    I then throw said suitcases in the back of an egregious SUV, and drive down to “Bob’s Cattle & Coin,” where I immediately exchange the worthless fiat paper for both silver bars and gold coins of various mint offerings, as well as several hundred head of cattle, which I dispatch to various ranches across the country for future beeve slaughter.

    Anything left over I put into the corn silo.

    Whitney Houston’s performance at the 1991 Super Bowl when the US was battling the first Gulf War. Her performance was lip-synched, but was released as a single and sold about 750,000 copies.

    or, question 6
    http://www.cbc.ca/cgi-bin/quiz/quiz.cgi?quiz=arts_sports

    In 1991, singer Whitney Houston’s “Star Spangled Banner” at Super Bowl XXV won rave reviews until it was discovered that it was pre-recorded and she had been lip-synching. Despite all the flak, her version of the national anthem became one of her biggest hits.

    So, when does GS begin to act like a financial company?

    And, a related question, when does Mugabe get eaten by his own people?

    Consider these two items (I’m not confident enough in the source to call them facts):
    –“Civil servants mostly get paid through direct deposits into bank accounts, which limit withdrawals to 25 billion Zimbabwe dollars a day.”
    –“A loaf of bread costs 30 billion Zimbabwean dollars.”

    I think everyone should open up multiple brokerage accounts and use those brokerage accounts to short those brokerage accounts just to piss them off.
    I once tried to short microsoft, and IE kept closing. Then I tried to open up firefox and all these windows errors messages popped up. Then I tried to short it, and it said “fatal error”, so I tried to distract the computer by doing a disk defrag, but it said “windows shutting down”.
    Then I used my mac that never works and ever since I shorted MSFT, it’s worked just fine.
    Conspiracy? I think so.

    “They really need to fire everyone on CNBC.”

    The only cnbc “host” with a show that’s ever made anyone a dime is Howie Mandel.

    Even that evil cocksucker Murdoch can’t figure out how to put a decent business show on the sucktastic blowjob-fest that is Faux News.

    Opportunity for instant hit “FlyCast” web show. Both MiniMe Cramer’s special ed audience and/plus non-short bus riders, too, would “tune-in.” Fun for the whole family.

    I have helped far less talented “personalities” win ratings on the teevee with far dodgier content, “The Fly.”

    Boomer, when you open a margin account, you are becoming an equity partner of the brokerage. You get paid off after the creditors. People do not read the gobblydigook, however it is in the agreement.
