Long Lasting Greatness

Some of you go on short term streaks of gaudy, yet ridiculous, coin banking endeavors. Some so called “legendary” money managers blog on the interwebs claiming to know all, yet offer nothing but capital losses when shit hits the meat grinder. Other talking faces go on the gogglebox and yap up a good spiel, but come up snake eyes when managing their assets in real life.

On the other hand, “The Fly” is in a constant state of victory. It humors him when some of you pigeon feeders say “oh shit, Fly is a dick. That’s a contrary indicator, bitch.”

It does not anger me to read such tomfoolery, since had you traded against me for the two plus years I’ve been schooling you fuckers, you’d be down like 100% on your money.

Hence the term: “it’s not who laughs first, but who gets to bankrupt the other,” applies so candidly.

By the way, commercial RE is in full fledged disaster mode here, enabling “Plutonium Petey” to bank even more coin in his greatly reduced [[SRS]] position. A special shout out to “Reggie” for nailing that General Growth Properties, Inc [[GGP]] short sale call.

In closing, I am in celebration mode here. I have frozen my activities to short covering and inverse etf sales only. Unlike previous cataclysmic drops, “The Fly” intend to nail this one, then go to cash, while the world burns around him.

NOTE: Doug Kass is just an idiot.

UPDATE: I bought 3,000 [[FXP]] @ $121.

    This is what I want to see. Selling into the afternoon and hopefully closing on the low.

    Fuck the Fed. The Fed is trying to fight the market. The market has shrugged off everything the Fed has done, and the smart play has been to fade the immediate response.

  24. The Prophet of the New Age

    Alas, Earth human, no resonance at all of reverence and gratitude can be found in your all too great mass of the current time, because the malignantly selfish Earth humanity still only finds value in material matters, while spiritual values are condemned as unworthy.

    With the religious believers, humility has taken the place of reverence, and pride and haughtiness are deemed wisdom.

    So the Earth human leads himself into error, believes in all sorts of evil things and empowers himself in self-exaltation.

    I know you don’t like cramer Fly but this is pretty funny…

    By Jim Cramer
    RealMoney.com Columnist
    10/7/2008 2:20 PM EDT

    If the SEC had a trick up its sleeve, it should extend the bank short-selling ban tomorrow and say, “Guys, we are going back to the uptick rule and until you have the software to set it up, you can’t short these.”

    Now, I am not a fan of the short ban at all. I think it is ludicrous. But this SEC has been so foolish as to be so excited about not having an uptick rule — they were positively joyous about it when they removed it — that I don’t think they are even ready for such a proposition.

    I do think, though, that the miserable action in the financials is only partly because of Bank of America (BAC – commentary – Cramer’s Take). When you consider what Tony Crescenzi says about the TAF and the importance of the CP facility, BAC should be balanced out.

    But I think people are just getting in shape for the return of the bank stock runs.

    I expect them to be hot and heavy even though we are ridiculously oversold.

    It will be a thing to behold.The bear unleashed: Jellystone National Bank Run!

    Be ready.

    Be very ready
