Can someone please eplain (or point me to a link that explains)
what the hell does PPT stand for???
Is this list good to go long, short, swing, what?
Is #1 better than #9?
what is the secret code to this shit
PPT is the premium service of iBC, soon to be launched.
The top 10 changes all the time. At the moment, those are the top 10 stocks, to go long, according to The PPT.
However, the service will include advice of myself and others. So, the ranking system is not the whole story, only part of it.
Not a black box. More like a guideline.
I’ll explain more in the coming days.
ok thanks
what do the letters PPT stand for?
It’s urban lore.
The Plunge Protection Team.
Fly:
No one knows what the fuck this PPT shit is all about. You’ve been too busy wow wowing it to explaining what the fuck it’s all about.
If some one asks a question you “fly” off the handle like a big mary with PMS.
Put someone on with a little patience will ya. You’re a horrendous marketer.
Stick to trading which is your core competency.
J–
Wtf are you babbling about?
__
Fly,
Figured as much, except that it could have been the Pussy Protection Team
J:
Go fuck a kangaroo. I am a master marketeer. Why else do you think this site is so popular?
I refuse to elaborate for a reason. Which is: it’s not ready yet.
So, in the meantime, let your imagination run wild and be sure to fuck that kangaroo.
Fly,
why isn’t something like FXP on this list, if I understood you to say you were buying it Monday?
Are you buying these stocks on the list yourself?
ETF’s are separate.
People who complain a lot could always have to pay an extra monthly surcharge.
Loop:
The PPT ranks every stock publicly traded. It is a guideline, not a get quick rich scheme.
In other words, it will short cut a lot of homework, but will not give you the whole picture.
I use it to identify sectors and indiv securities, searching for criteria that I deem important. After that, I do extensive research into names I like.
You should always dig around into your investments and not rely on one source of data.

Fly,
When is the PPT going to be launched? I thought it was in October. I have a stimulus check burning a hole in my pocket..
And BBY is out of flat screens.
FYI:
There are three scores [1(lowest)-5(highest)]
1. Technicals
2. Fundamentals
3. Hybrid
The hybrid score is most important, since it is a blend (not 50/50) of both technical and fundamental scores. It balances out the two.
Jeff:
Soon enough. I am a perfectionist.
Thanks for the info Fly.
FXP doesn’t even show up on the ETF list
Do you ever personally buy any of the stocks on the lists or just use them for trends?
I never see you talk about buying any of these stocks.
FXP gets a 2.40, due to Friday’s debacle.
I use it more surgically.
It breaks down stocks into over 200 sub sectors. I will identify the sectors I feel are worth investing in, then identify the strongest in those sectors for starters.
Pertaining the top 10:
At some point, I may start using the top 10 to make buys.
Before I start chasing performance, I want the market to stabilize. With The PPT service, I will make sure to inform you idiots not to chase performance in a bad tape.
It will be an analytic engine, better than any out there. And, it will be a newsletter from yours truly and other tabbed bloggers.
I appreciate perfection. Long PPT.
When is this list relevant…for Monday based on Friday’s trends?
It updates every hour. The list changes, based upon specific criteria, which you can see in the PPT vid (ad on top of page links to youtube vid).
The formula used is proprietary and has been backtested to show excellent results.
Think of it as an idea machine. Personally, it has cut down my research time dramatically.
Any chance of backing into MVIS pre-CES?
I hope the PPT says that if oil falls below $60 to sell everything, fast.
The “Hybrid Change” category displays the intraday change of the hybrid score.
So, if a stock breaks out, within our formulated criteria, it will rise dramatically in score, which in turn can be identifies in the Hybrid Change cat.
Sub Rosa is used to correlate equities with commodity movements, currency and treasuries.
PPT automatically punishes oil/gas stocks upon dips in commodity prices, which resets daily.
Jeff:
Maybe.
Sub Rosa? Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t she the lady that they made sit in the back of the subway?
Please explain.
Why isn’t it continually updated?
How to catch a falling star 57 minutes into it?
Some of these etfs are like lightning.
Fly: There was just a shooting outside my house. Launch the PPT soon, or I may not be around to see its glory.
I wish I was kidding about the shooting tbh
Last question:
Do you hedge because you need to have money in play all of the time? Would staying cash neutral be the same play for Jeff for Plumber?
I hedge for peace of mind.
Plus, it allows me to market time, without having an egregious amount of cash on the sidelines.
For example: On big gap downs, I can sell my inverses, cover shorts, then let longs run or vice versa.
Loop:
The database is HUGE. It take awhile to update it. Plus anyway, I am no fucking degenerate day trader. Plus anyway, that’s what human interaction is all about. I’ll still be here on iBC, letting you morons know when I am buying/selling. On The PPT, I will offer more specific strategies and continually list my top 10 holdings.
Can the Titans beat Chicago’s finest?
I like boca’s idea. The more you bitch and moan about The Fly, this site, the world, Obama, that itch on your balls, etc, the more you should get charged for the PPT. It’s like asshole/douchebag tax. And of course you’d get discounts for positive karma (provided they ever come back to this tab).

In other news, I just watched ‘Lethal Weapon’ (the first one) for the first time in ages…forgot what an awesome movie it is. Oh, Mel Gibson, how far you’ve fallen!
Several interesting comments were uttered here friday.
DD said: “The US economy is a fake POS and America is bankrupt along with its individual citizens”
That’s dead on, if hyperbolic, compared with generally accepted – yet badly flawed – market sentiment.

I’d be happy to pay for it, but i wanna know how it works first. Sure enough it’s beneath fly to explain it all to us.
Jake:
Like this for example.
The Fly Says:

Well why, he doesn’t bother to explain shit to his potential clients. Not a friggen thing.

Yea
I support a whiners tax. I’m not whining of course, I’m just pointing out Fly’s egregious lack of marketing skills. It could very well be a good product.
ppt stands for Prickly Penile Thoughts PPT
Fly – Make sure Plunge Protection Team isn’t something offensive in swahili!
1. When Gerber started selling baby food in Africa, they used the same packaging as in the US, with the beautiful baby on the label. Later they learned that in Africa, companies routinely put pictures on the label of what’s inside, since most people can’t read English.
2. When Parker Pen marketed a ballpoint pen in Mexico, its ads were supposed to have read, “It won’t leak in your pocket and embarrass you.” Instead, the company thought that the word “embarazar” (to impregnate) meant to embarrass, so the ad read: “It won’t leak in your pocket and make you pregnant
3. In Spain, when Coors Brewing Company put its slogan, “Turn it loose” into Spanish; it was read as “Suffer from diarrhea”.
4. When Braniff International Airways translated a slogan touting its upholstery, “Fly in leather”, it came out in Spanish as “Fly naked”.
5. When Pepsi started marketing its products in China a few years back, they translated their slogan, “Pepsi Brings You Back to Life” pretty literally. The slogan in Chinese really meant, “Pepsi Brings Your Ancestors Back from the Grave.”
“I like boca’s idea. The more you bitch and moan about The Fly, this site, the world, Obama, that itch on your balls, etc, the more you should get charged for the PPT. It’s like asshole/douchebag tax.”
So sorry DePeezy. You and boca must be charged the most egregious rates for the PPT because of your bitching.
(about the bitchers, which is clearly covered under “etc.”)
PPT is a liar
Nov. 9 (Bloomberg) — China announced a 4 trillion yuan ($586 billion) stimulus plan to spur expansion in the world’s fourth-largest economy, helping sustain global growth as the U.S., Europe and Japan teeter on the brink of recession.
The funds, equivalent to almost a fifth of China’s $3.3 trillion gross domestic product last year, will be used by the end of 2010, the Beijing-based State Council said today on its Web site. China will adopt a “pro-active fiscal policy” and pursue a “moderately loose” monetary policy, it said.
Fuck me, Really?
On an exchange rate basis the Chinese economy is about 3 trillion dollars.
That would be the equivalent of the US spending a $2.7 trillion stimulus package. that’s a petty big nut.
as importantly they’re going to expand monetary policy.
Commodity stocks are going higher.
Put that into your PPT and smoke it.
Dog I expect you to be shorting Chinese sensitive stocks from here on in.
J
This is going to take some time to make a meaningful impact. If you gave a “stimulus check” to a Chinese man he runs to the bank with it, you give that check to an American and he runs to BBY or MCD. Infrastructure builds will take time. With that being said, I expect a meaningful pop out of the Hang Seng this evening.

Yes I did!

Quit asking about The PPT.
If you are unable to understand the simplest things about investing or how stocks should be valued, I have no interest in selling it to you.
I refuse to deal with imbeciles. I do not want imbeciles to even look at my website, let alone subscribe to a service that I endorse.
NO SOUP FOR YOU JAKE!
OOPS, “J”!
late night.
The stimulus package is a sign of desperation, not strength.
I would not get too giddy if I were you.
“Sub Rosa” means “secret” in Latin, but I’m sure you retards knew that.
I think (and right now that’s all we got, guesswork) the China thing will be received as a reason to rally… 1-2 weeks max, then December and Jan will reverse from last year… Dec sells off, Jan another rally.
Fly,
“Sub Rosa is used to correlate equities with commodity movements, currency and treasuries.”
Love that.
“PPT automatically punishes oil/gas stocks upon dips in commodity prices, which resets daily.”
Do commodity prices conntinually reset in the database throughout the day as prices change or is it just one daily reset?
The GRZZX – Grizzly Fund – is up about 50% in the last few months. I believe the financial system is still on thin ice – that Lehman collapse nearly broke the thin ice.
The stimulus package is a sign of desperation, not strength.
Sure, but $600 bn of desperation can rip a lotta ballsack, before it’s spent.

Fly, you’re absolutely correct about China’s stimulus package. It will work just as well as our previous one worked along with our future ones. MANipulation around the world will fail. Mother nature has been so fucked with since Regan’s supply side elitist trickle down bullshit started that she is extremely pissed off and ready to explain the LAWS of NATURE in a very nasty way. I’m all for less research time and believe your PPT service sounds interesting and I’ve been following some of it’s picks. Does it incorporate the LoBV too? BTW, have you determined the monthly service fee yet? Only complaint I have about it is the name PPT. Personally, I’d prefer APPT…anti-PPT. I hate those fucking elitist parasites.
As the previously-noted Roubini 11/4 column states:
http://www.rgemonitor.com/roubini-monitor/254258/the_rising_risk_of_a_hard_landing_in_china_the_two_engines_of_global_growth__us_and_china__are_now_stalling
“the risk of a hard landing in China is sharply rising; a deceleration in the Chinese growth rate to 7% in 2009 – just a notch above a 6% hard landing – is highly likely and an even worse outcome cannot be ruled out at this point. The global economy is already headed towards a global recession as advanced economies are all in a recession and the U.S. contraction is now dramatically accelerating. The first engine of global growth – the U.S. on the consumption side – has now already shut down. The second engine of global growth – China on the production side – is also on its way to stalling. Thus, with the two main engines of global growth now in serious trouble a global hard landing is now almost a certainty. And a hard landing in China will have severe effects on growth in emerging market economies in Asia, Africa and Latin America as Chinese demand for raw materials and intermediate inputs has been a major source of economic growth for emerging markets and commodity exporters. The sharp recent fall in commodity prices and the near collapse of the Baltic Freight index are clear signals that Chinese and global demand for commodities and industrial inputs is sharply falling. Thus, global growth – at market prices – will be close to zero in Q3 of 2008, likely negative in Q4 of 2009 and well into negative territory in 2009. So brace yourself for an ugly and protracted global economic contraction in 2009.”

Oops. Sorry for the duplicate post.
At least we know why FXI was up 13% on Friday – the news of this China stimulus leaked early. Stocks are for asshats.
Isn’t China merely 5% of global GDP?
Who the hell would trade PPT picks….not even FLY apparently.
Most the stocks are so thinly traded. I mean, how hard is it to filter out minimum stock price, volume…basic shit?
After paper trading the PPT stocks given the last month….you would have lost big time. Obviously needs much more tweaking.
So many on this board cannot think for themselves and need a hand to hold on to….translation…you will never be a successful trader. Go back to your “normal” jobs until you have educated yourselves in your trading, translation… learned to lose your ass and live another day.
The PPT will sucker many “buy the top ten list” morons.
If life was that simple.
So Fly “upped his holdings” in FXP on Friday.
He already was losing his ass with it.
On Monday he will see what a “Triple Shitburger
FXP with Cheese” tastes like.
Does Fly want “flies with that”?
“I see bearish pennants”.
Load the truck if FXP goes to $55 – 60 and get rich.

Yes, it’s stock related, I think DECK is the symbol.
FXP could see 55-60 tomorrow morning if the asian markets receive the news warmly. wait a few days, will be a multi-day rally IMO.
It comes down to whats priced into this market:

DD,
The thing that cracks me up about you is you seem to be a big believer in mother nature and the order of thing – Elliot wave and such. What you apparently fail to recognize is mother nature is not always predictable and can throw an F5 tornado in your direction as well. Keep playing with fire and you will eventually get burned. This much is a fact. Although a little naive, you don’t strike me as dumb enough to contintue to ignore this reality. The sad truth is that I have never seen anyone who trades like you NOT blow themselves up over a 5-year period… but I am sure you are different.
Not sure why I care other than it is perhaps just too painful to watch.
I saw the China bailout post an hour ago. I think FXP is fucked in the interim and so am I as I believe diversification guarantees mediocrity. Really the move on Fri was retarded and much to my chagrin I think Monday will suck balls like a professional.
Anyone know if Proshares actively manages their ETFs? The move would indicate they do, as the Shanghai Composite is 31.6% of its all time and 52 week hi.
Thanks for the Ron Paul link. Smart fellow (.. almost too)

Fly,
Could you give the list of symbols that are highest ranked by PPT, with the ability to click, to find out what they are.
Thanks
Wrong:
Had you followed the PPT over the last month, you would have made buckets of coin, getting long oil and ag at the lows, like I did.
MOS, NOV and other plays all derived from PPT.
It is easy to pick the winners among the PPT stocks.
If you take all ten picks as recommended through the month, NOT just winners like NOV/MOS, you are out of luck. Of course to be fair, the entire market was a shit hole during this time frame but still…
Serious though, why the extreme low volume stocks? Should they not be weeded out. If this software is extreme filtering for best candidates among the stock universe, why jack with these type of plays? Playing devil’s advocate here. Not try to knock your efforts.
Who’s picking low volume stocks?
It is what it is.
I have filters up to weed out low volume stocks, but keep the threshold low. There is no rule anywhere that says: never buy low volume stocks.
Actually, often times, that is exactly where the hidden gems are.
So, just know, The PPT will not go without human advice. If a stock looks weak, I will cast it out. Think of it as a hybrid (machine/human) system.
Here is the present top 10:
1 DCM 4.1 4.8 4.42 25.93%
2 CPSI 4.15 4.5 4.31 0%
3 AFAM 4.35 3.85 4.12 10.16%
4 HPC 3.9 4 3.95 0%
5 CBST 4.15 3.6 3.9 7.44%
6 AAON 3.15 4.7 3.85 13.57%
7 ORH 2.7 5.1 3.79 3.84%
8 NTT 3.1 4.6 3.78 22.33%
9 EBS 4.15 3.3 3.77 25.67%
10 NFS 4.15 3.3 3.77 47.27%
11 INT 3.4 4.2 3.76 32.86%
Some of them trade less than 250k per day, but have seen volume spikes, giving them a bump to the top. If you hate low volume, we have screens that can easily filter it out. It’s a non-issue.
In other words, you can create your own top 10 or top 1,000 list, whatever you want. I keep my volume filter liberal, in order to see what the market is valuing.
Damn, now you got me interested.
What can I say, the word HYBRID gets me all excited and shit!
Btw, are the rest of you suprised on how cordial and polite the FLY has been of late? Weird huh? Let’s hope it’s not a trend. I happen to like the abrasive lashing of certain posters, it helps ground me has a calming effect on my trading. Guess I need to get our more huh?
Keep up the good work.
ok, now what, you need to heed your own advice.
Dog:
Let me guess, you think there’s going to be a crash.
Fly:
Take some heat at times. I was only kidding around.
DD,
I don’t trade in a way that puts my entire account at risk if a single “prediction” I made does not work out. As a matter of fact, I rarely trade on margin and have still managed to eek out a 31% gain this year with 6 figure account. Furthermore, my largest drawdown is 6.4%.
You admitted you were leverage more than 2:1 at one point a few weeks ago on a single trade. What advice was it exactly I should heed?
Agree Chinese stimulus will boost oil, fertilizer, coppper
Very leery of steel with the ongoing problems with GM & F- especially with MT running commercials claiming 1 out of every 4 cars is built with MT steel.
