You Guys Are Cool

You are the very definition of awesomeness.

I am sure you are reading this lowly blog with leather jackets (that’s right, more than one) on, collar up, while riding on a motorcycle studded with skulls and spikes. Your bank accounts are in the deep nine digits and you have access to an illegal harem.

You are well versed in 20 languages; people call you “The fucking Pope.”

And, you grace “The Fly,” as well as other tabbed bloggers of iBC, with accurate market wizardry and enable all others, pedestrians if you will, to feed off your marvelous ideas. I am sure if you chose to take up the game of boxing, your record would be 50-0, with 51 kills (referee), prior to retirement.

For your kindness and willingness to deal with my humble background and resources, I say “thank you.”

In others news, Bank of America is about to get its “nationalization game on,” if you know what I mean.

    Someone says “you have to check this site out”. At first, reading the posts is a fun thing to do once in awhile. Of course, you ignore the comment section, because who has time for that.

    But hen you one day you find that a post is so good, you scroll down in hopes of more. Thats when you find out that the people here are way more interesting than those on twoplustwo.

    Thoughts for tomorrow:

    Tomorrow brings a new beginning the obstacles and obstructions give way and a difficult state of mind can be cleared. Get rid of the old things you have been holding, free yourself from carrying that tension. Movement involves danger yet movement that is timely will lead you out of danger.

    Tuesday, February 3, 2009 Posted by Atilla M. Demiray
    The second wave of crash is well underway

    I call it terminal move which should take SPX below 600 soon. I suggest everyone to be careful in the second half of this week. A few month ago, I said C and BAC will be near $2. BAC will crater below $5 on gigantic volume tomorrow. But more important ones are the coming FUBARs. I expect JPM WFC and BK to share the same destiny. This will continue until there is almost no bank left in USA. Perhaps one or two private banks together with a government controlled bank.
    Also time has come for a 4-sigma move in FTSE due to the reasons I explained couple of months ago. And believe or not, the coming blood bath in commercial real estate here will make the collapse of investment banks look like a minor event.
    *************

    Wednesday, February 4, 2009Not a day trade. We will close the week below 780 according to Atilla before a possible crash in option expiration week.

    *****************
    This is the scariest thing I have heard yet….even more scary than Devil Dog.

If you were in front of me I would throw acid dipped tortillas at your raisin looking mug and, fart on your head squeazed between my staples chair and my ass, all the while I would be sipping single malt scotch, which was purchased with the coin that fell out of your pocket after the bus rolls over you that I just through you and your Vegas lobby lizard under…”

    “Someone put a $3 Million bet on WFC $15 March puts today”

    What do you think that means? Really? IT closed at 17.45 today. Man if JPM goes down the toilet I am toast…my business,my loans, personal accounts and stuff are with JPM. Aside from this Fidelity money I day trade with.

    Don’t you have anything to say? The world is screwed and all you do is pick at each other. Some of us will survive; but just the lucky ones. Some trades are thoughtful and others are just short randomness. But there is nothing wrong with identifying short random sequences. So, focus… let’s talk about shit that will help us make money and perhaps survive.

    CSCO could also find the largest oil reserve under their corporate HQ and John Chambers would say the world was ending. Funny how Cramer used to just annihilate Chambo, then he changed his tune to loving CSCO, and then recently he decided that tech is nonsense (despite the enormous cash position of CSCO). Moral of the story? Fuck you Cramer.
