Asshat of the Week Award: Tim Seymour

Wednesday, November 12, 2008 at 1:27 am

Tim Seymour, Asshat

Watching a replay of tonight’s Fast Money, I discovered a man well deserving of the Asshat Trophy. The “King of Russian Equities,” proclaimer of all cheap things in Asia, Tim Seymour, disclosed he was long my enemy, [[FXI]] , in a most egregious fashion, if I might be so bold as to say so.

First of all, the name “Tim” gets no points with “The Fly.” In the 32 Godly years being alive, I have yet to meet a man/woman named “Tim” that was not deserving of an “apple pie sandwich” to the face.

Anyway, Tim, from Seygem Asset Management, was rambling on about how much those Chinese bastards are liars (I am paraphrasing), while acting in a very “cocaine-ish” type of manner, if you know what I mean. Tim said many great things about how gay the Chinese market/economy is and was, much to my delight. I’ll have you know, “The Fly” was warming up to this Tim guy, while wolfing down junk food.

However, in an odd twist of Chinese fuckery, something that cannot be explained using the laws of modern science and/or reason, he (Tim) then proceeded to disclose (in a very deliberate slow motion sort of way) it might be “worth a shot” (again paraphrasing) getting long China in huge gay ways (paraphrasing, yet again), down at these ‘tard levels. Then some little breaking news flash thingy raced under his name, disclosing he was, in fact, long [[FXI]] .

(Gasp for air)

I stopped eating my potato chips. Suddenly, I became enraged with the joy of knowing that sometime soon, I would relish in the opportunity of destroying this man named “Tim,” with all of my frantic/over caffeinated might and superior intelligence quotient, without ever having to meet him—which is mildly “chagrinful.”

See, young lads, I shall buy [[FXP]] (the opposite of FXI) until the “white flag of certain surrender “is perched upon his ass backwards Russian automobile. I shall rub it in, mind you, until Mr. Tim shaves his full head of hair off, due to extreme shame.

There shall be no quarter given to this man, even if he happens to legally change his forename to something other than “Tim;” he shall receive the ever ominous, yet risible, black flag.

So Sorry.

Oh, and he also gets an Asshat of the Week Award.

Congrats.

    I feel the same way about people who are long GS.

  2. cramer says:

    Booyah? fuckno , I didn’t win… I tried so hard, reccomending steel right before it rocketed higher.
    DAMN IT!

  3. norcal says:

    Another Fly “classic” post!! Didn’t that dude also say go long FMCN at the very end of the show? Very gay, indeed.

  4. DPeezy says:

    A classicly awesome way to kick off iBC Year #2.
    Mr. Seymour sounds like he will be a fast riser in the League of Asshats.

  5. Gwar says:

    He looks like Timothy McVeigh

  6. Tiny Tim says:

    You make me cry inside, Fly.

  7. Scully says:

    Okay, classic Fly.

    But, Tiny Tim is a P/T asshat. The KING is Guy Adami and the Chairwoman running her husband’s monies CROX HF. Adami has been wrong 98% of the time — PUBLICALLY – since October 2007. One is a coke-head one is a lush they are both hucksters. But, Cramer is worse.

    OBTW, bought 27.3K shares of GNW @ 1.12. The considerable proceeds from which will be donated to a 4% FDIC-insured MM in my name.

  8. Steph says:

    Thank you, I hate that guy. Whenever there’s a real interesting discussion and I’m trying to figure out if I should, say, start buying back into Arch Coal, he chimes in with the merits of going long the Hungarian stock ETF vs shorting Uruguayan bonds. STFU.

    I prefer when they trot out cakeface Joe Terranova as a replacement instead of him.

  9. Scully says:

    The Agassis lived once a quarter in Tiburon (my WC town) when this was filmed. They’ve since sold and took a bath on neither GNW (I suspect) nor NCal R.E. (I know).

    We should begin the quest for true energy independence by drilling for oil in Tim Seymour’s hair.

  11. j says:

    I watched the segments, fly. He’s an idiot but hardly qualifies for the asshat award. In fact he’s pretty ineffectual.

    Ant should win this weeks award.

  12. Anton Cigur says:

    Still winning friends, hey, j? Just checked in and see you’ve made an ass of yourself again. Kind of built into that worm farm that is your DNA. Please keep posting. You are hilarious, tho unintentionally so.

    Thanks, again, for leaving our country.

    Come on Ant, lighten up. I’m just kidding. You’re a very nice internet person and I’m sorry if I ever upset you.

  16. boca says:

    I can really get behind this Asshat award. He’s had some of the worst picks over the last year: VIP, TTM or any of the EWZ components anyone?

    Then if anyone asks a question about what happened (for some reason he’s rarely questioned about these godawful suggestions) he falls back on the old explanation of “well, there’s still a secular growth story here” meaning if you wait ten to fifteen years you might see some growth. He hardly ever recommends a sell of any of his prior picks.

    Macke and Santelli are the ones who really know what is happening in the economy.

  17. j says:

    Boca

    these guys are idiots. they’re not traders or money managers so they know shit. Get real Santelli plays the part of Mr. Big time trader by standing in the floor of the exchange. He knows shit.

  18. boca says:

    Most people on this site would probably disagree with you, J, Macke and Santelli are highly regarded by many.

    Have a good day.

  19. j says:

    Yea Boca and most people at this site are idiots like Fly continues to remind them, so I’m not surprised you would think that.

  20. Damon says:

    WOW.

    This whole seemingly sudden and desperate AMEX deal sure unfolded rather fast.

    So..it was like: “er, we just realized we need cash like really, really bad…..um, like yesterday even”

    Honestly, I got an e-mail yesterday from AMEX saying that my card’s interest is going up a few points, and my credit line is being lowered.

    This is even though I rarely EVER use the cards, run less than a 20% account balance (versus my limit) and ALWAYS pay well above any minimums, way ahead of the due date.

    I always thought AMEX ran a f-cking tight ship. I guess not, since they are acting like GM, only being more “proactive”.

    Godspeed, American Express. Your Platinum business card got me laid more times over the years than I really care to recall!

  21. Yogi & Boo Boo says:

    j- STFU… I nominate j for the asshat of 2008 award.

  22. Juice says:

    I agree with Tim asshat Seymour. FXI is a good play here.

    FXP is at the same levels it was at in June while the Chinese markets are 50% lower. FXP is no longer a hold. If you’re nimble, like The Fly, you can trade it to the long side but The Chinese implosion Part I, has already happened. Part 2 will not happen till spring. Their markets have bottomed. Shanghai has broken its downtrend & will lead Hong Kong, kicking and screaming, to the upside.

    FXP is now a short on any move to 100.

  23. Juice says:

    Footage of The Fly handling the 2008 market.

  24. Woodshedder says:

    Actually, FXP is TWICE the opposite of FXI. Appropriate due to the level of Tim’s asshattishness.

  25. 4fl3x says:

    Tim is an Asshat because he should have shorted FXP instead of going long FXI.

  26. canuck visionary says:

    j shut up aleady and you are the biggest retard of the many retards on this site.

  27. j says:

    No Canuck, you are. In fact your retardation is oppressive.

  28. Mr Ranger says:

    I second Yogi and Boo Boo’s nomination of j as 2008 Asshat of the year award, but I am forced to co-nominate Donny and DEVILDOG as well.

  29. j says:

    admit it guys (3 of you so far), you’re all just a little upset that I reaffirmed fly’s impression that the site is soaked with idiocy at times. I know it’s hard to accept, but the truth always hurts.

    Now instead of just demanding i get an asshat here’s what you need to do. It’s no good asking that i get one. You also have to do the hard yards like fly and explain why.

    has my economics been wrong? No. Has my trading been bad ideas? No not really.

    So explain, you 3 dolts.

  30. The Fly says:

    It’s not this site that is soaked with idiocy, but the world.

    Juice:

    You are wrong about FXP, as it is a proxy to be short LFC, CHL and PTR—all going significantly lower. Time will prove you wrong.

    NOTE: No one insults Boca on this site, else they’ll get their mustache punched off.

  31. The Fly says:

    BIG BBY Warning:

    The co reports that falling consumer spending, driven by the recent turmoil in the financial mkts and other macro economic factors, has resulted in lower-than-expected revenue for the consumer electronics retailer. The uncertainty regarding future consumer spending has limited the co’s ability to project revenue for the critical holiday shopping season and the balance of the fiscal year. Given both the change in economic environment and the significance of the holiday shopping season to the co’s annual earnings, Best Buy is lowering its guidance for the fiscal year and widening its range for potential revenue and earnings. BBY sees FY09 EPS of $2.30-2.90 vs $3.02 First Call consensus; sees revs of $43.7-45.5 bln vs $46.23 bln First Call consensus… Based on data the co sees for the consumer electronics industry, Best Buy believes it gained mkt share in most of its product categories during Sept and Oct… The co’s total comparable store sales declined by ~7.6% for fiscal Oct, following a modest comparable store sales decline for fiscal Sept. As significant changes in the consumer environment and competitive landscape make it very difficult to project revenue trends, the co is providing a wider range of guidance. Specifically, the co anticipates that comparable store sales for the four months remaining in fiscal 2009 (Nov ‘08 through Feb ‘09) could decline by 5-15%, resulting in an annual comparable store sales decline of 1-8%. The stronger U.S. dollar also is expected to result in lower revenue and profits from the co’s intl segment than previously expected… In reaction to changes in the marketplace, the co is proactively working with its vendors to adjust both its inventory levels and its near-term working capital position. “In light of the downturn in consumer spending, we have made several adjustments to our working capital position, most notably an increase to our U.S. borrowing capacity. We now plan to finish the fiscal third quarter with inventory levels, short-term borrowings and accounts payable higher than previously projected. These increases are the result of the rapid downturn in consumer spending. However, we expect year-over-year domestic inventory to be flat by fiscal year end.” The co’s new, $150 mln committed U.S. credit facility provides additional working capital flexibility to address both mkt conditions and potential opportunities. This new credit facility, which expires on Dec 17, was undertaken partly in response to the bankruptcy of one of the participants in Best Buy’s existing $2.5 bln revolving line of credit.

    Some big names in there, I just started building a position in STX and it’s already hurting :(

  33. j says:

    why does she get a free pass, Fly. She’s been rude to me and started the cat fights.

  34. The Fly says:

    That’s because you’re an idiot. STX. Come on.

  35. The Fly says:

    J:

    Maybe you deserve it. Ever consider that?

    Boca is as sweet as key lime pie. I’m hungry now.

    Off for breakfast. Hot hot coffee pending.

  36. 4fl3x says:

    Master Fly, please go back to bed and get up on the other side.

  37. DM says:

    Fly,
    I just wanted to know how you FUCK yourself in the near future… Fuck YOU!!!

  38. Ward and June Cleaver says:

    Yes, leave Boca alone. She reminds us of Mary Ellen Rogers.

  39. Paradigm Shift says:

    Closed all shorts yesterday – very little meat left on that bone.

    I am buying on weakness starting today with the opening dive.

    Fuck the Fast Money Team – they have no edge – they just talk about whatever the flavor of the day happens to be, which adds absolutely no value.

  40. j says:

    hey fly:

    I deserve it:

    Fly,
    I just wanted to know how you FUCK yourself in the near future… Fuck YOU!!!

    You’re serious, right?

  41. Rookie Trader says:

    FXP for next 120days. To 105 to 81 to 188 after that go to Best Buy and buy a bargin.

  45. boca says:

    Wow, thanks guys, and especially thank you to Fly. Yes, I have a very dark sarcastic sense of humor (which I’m sorry if you’ve misinterpreted), but I’m like a marshmallow inside.

    J, I barely speak to you and had asked you twice before to leave me alone. Your sense of perspective is probably skewed in your own favor, I understand that. I’ve watched you try to pick fights with many people here, including me and my friends, including telling people that boca “makes things worse here”. I never even protested that one because it’s so obviously false.

    However, I get the sense you might want to look in your own mirror. There used to often be a sense of camaraderie here that you seem to enjoy dampening.

    I’m sorry if my account isn’t very big, but I’ve made no bones about my desire to be here solely to learn and have freely shared any knowledge I have from my business, especially about publicly traded online sales sites. Well, I’m tying this whole thing up with a big red shiny bow, dropping it down a deep hole, and tamping the dirt down over it with one of Alpha’s shovels.

    Cheers J.

  46. boca says:

    Steph at first I didn’t like Macke, but after a while I realized he was the only one with enough guts to tell the audience when NOT to buy something. That’s a rare commodity amongst all the investment guys paraded day after day on CNBC.

    Are the oil services done or are they setting up for a good buy soon

    From RIGZONE

    “Drillers plan to erect 180 new offshore rigs over the next three years — adding to the current total of 640 — spanning the globe from the Vietnamese coast and the Caspian Sea to the Gulf of Mexico and Brazil. Every new offshore drilling operation requires an average of 200 workers, some offshore and some onshore.

    It will take more than the recent drop in oil prices to $65 or $75 a barrel to derail these rig projects, companies say, even if the price downturn since the summer has led to postponements elsewhere, such as in oil sands and refineries. Oil development projects “take an average of 10 years to complete and operate for more than 30 years,” said Susan Houghton, a human-resources official at Chevron Corp. “In 2008, we hired approximately 6,000 new employees and will continue that rate in 2009,” she said.

  55. Donny says:

    CRUDE = $57.48

    DUG is gonna break out soon. The fucking oil complex can’t deal with OIL dropping like this.

  56. Ward and June Cleaver says:

    What about our BEAV?

  57. j says:

    Knock it off Boca.

    i stir around, don’t mean anything rude in terms of what I say. Possibly comes off a little rough at times. People are good. so let the socks down a little.

    The only dude i have had an issue with is the Dog when the lights are red and he’s not firmly locked in his kennel.

    I can’t ever recall ever saying you make things worse.

    is morgan stan better than GS in your book? Why?

    He told me he covered it all at the same time he sold his SDS long position

    Fly = 0

    On the open early in the game.

  62. gappingandyapping says:

    Fly great call HK! Note: I am now long egregious amounts of FXP as well.

  63. Juice says:

    there will be a fierce one day (only) rally by tomorrow

    you buy today … imo

    FXP down off this carnage … if it ain’t working in this open ….

    J

    Not sure if Morgan is actually better than GS. They have to deal with the same things that GS has to deal with in becoming a bank holding company. No more big leverage for prop trading. Again if you look at the earings of GS a lot of it comes from prop trading using leverage. Not so much for Morgan. Also, Morgan has a big brokerage force that had been doing quite well bringing in top brokers from other places like Merrill and UBS. The brokerage force was one of the only divisions that actually earned money ( a good bit at that) for Morgan the past few quarters. Last year or so they finally fully integrated the DEan Witter and Morgan systems which had been a real clusterfuck. all this being said I know a few traders on the Morgan desk and they have been very nervous lately. Mack and his team are really, really ready for the TARP to start buying the toxic shit on their books and until that is done you will probably see people trying to knock it down

    Potential Buy Signals?

    Looking at daily SPZ8 and NDZ8 through DeMark indicator lens, we are on TD-Sequential countdown 12 of 13 for both, with 13 buy signals potentially registering as early as tomorrow.

    Unlike setup, countdown does not require consecutive bars. To register 13s tomorrow we will need tomorrow’s low to be below the low of countdown bar 8 (11/6 = 897 for SP; 11/5 = 1297 for ND) and the close to be below the close two bars earlier, so tomorrow close would need to be below 1223 NDZ and 893 SPZ. If we do not, then we will have to wait and compare Monday’s bar to Thursday’s, and so on until the 13 registers. This is basis pit session.

    Of course, these are only the daily charts. 13s typically accompany price exhaustion and result in reactions within the next 12 subsequent bars. On weekly, monthly and quarterly the situation remains far more dire.

    There is an unperfected 9 buy setup on the weekly chart for SPX cash, but not a 13 buy signal.

    The monthly is only on bar 6 of a potential 9 that would eventually require exceeding the low that is established this month and/or next month for perfection next year.

    And the quarterly is only on bar 4 of a potential 9.

    It is understandable to wonder how on earth quarterly charts could reliably reveal anything about supply and demand, so check out the quarterly INDU chart from 1929 to 1945.

    Position in SRS

    More pains in the REITs

    On the heels of the implosion of General Growth Properties (GGP), this morning Prologis (PLD) slashed its dividend in half, canned its CEO and halted all new development. No great shocker I suppose given that NONE can get financing for ANYTHING in the real estate space.

    As far our rollercoaster ride on the UltraShort Real Estate (SRS) gyrator, the November 220 calls above $6 look like a decent covered sale against any unencumbered longer dated calls. While keeping a long bias in the underlying SRS, not taking advantage of 200% volatilities would be simply foolish.

    Thanks Jake…. okay

    thanks Moe.

    I’ve been thinking of pulling the trigger on MS but see it down every day so not too keen as yet. Strange how a little bit of time moves things around like this. Freaking GS was the ants pants a few weeks ago and now look at it.

    Don’t think it can survive as it just a huge wholesale operation with little retail and will bleed people over time as they head off to other jobs etc.

    MS is interesting if only because it has a retail operation and it could turn itself into a successful bank over time, perhaps into something really different.

    I’m not sure if leverage is that important for MS in terms of making money as their are fewer players these days with the consolidation and spreads could move out a little.

    I call bullshit on Armageddon.

  81. T MOE says:

    I’m glad I went short the financials when Fly said he had been buying UYG. I went short GS ( few months now), MBI, MCO, AXP, COF ( all last week) just to name a few. I will cover a few soon and will be busy counting my serious coin next week with the wife on the big island in Hawaii while you dumbfuck bulls HOPE for a rally.

    And big ups to Devildog for his call on going short AAPL after the run up after their earnings

  82. j says:

    Fuck it bought some morgan stanley down here…. for a really long term account.

    Al you dudes shorting china need your brains checked. the fucking thing is down 70 odd%.

  83. DEVILDOG says:

    fly, why has it taken you this long to figure out that Tim is always trying to get people to buy stocks he is selling? I have shorted many of his stocks after the 3 day stupid cow herd routine and made a lot of money. BTW, still long 2000 FXP @ $65 and holding for $197.

  84. j is an Asshat Because says:

    Top Ten Reason why j is an Asshat:

    10. His handle, “j”, is a very gay, lower cased curved letter of the alphabet.

    9. The market has gone straight down for several days after he authoritatively posted several times in a single day about an imminent meltup.

    8. He posts more frequently than Mr. EB.

    7. His tongue is green.

    6. He makes his boyfriend pull his finger before passing gas.

    5. He lashes out at the one called “boca”, who is always respectful and congenial, even to asshats like the one called “j”.

    4. He calls all market professionals “idiots”.

    3. He is a charter member of “Hair Club for Men”.

    2. He thinks because he once had a “back office” job doing accounting or fixing trade breaks, he’s a market savant.

    And the number one reason why the one called “j” is an asshat:

    2 year alert

    While the ‘on the run 2 year note’ trades at 1.20% or so, many ‘off the runs’ now are trading with a zero handle.

    This is not good in my opinion.

    It is the market’s way of telling us that risks are as high as ever.

    As far as the credit market goes, all I can say is ‘what credit market’? Not much is trading, and judging by what I expect for hedge fund liquidations, bonds will begin to trade, but not at pretty levels.

    Merrill chief sees severe global slowdown

    By Greg Farrell in New York

    Published: November 11 2008 14:42 | Last updated: November 11 2008 20:06

    The global economy is entering a slowdown of epic prop­ortions comparable with the period after the 1929 crash, John Thain, chairman and chief executive of Merrill Lynch, warned on Tuesday.

    Speaking at the company’s annual banking and financial services conference, Mr Thain said while he was cautiously optimistic about the future of the financial services industry, he lacked optimism about the near-term prospects of the US economy and global markets.
