THE PPT IS HERE!

Just so you know, I am wearing a tuxedo, top hat and holding a cane for the festivities. I hope you are dressed likewise.

I’ve been in the money management business for a long time. I’ve traded in the worst markets known to upright walking apes, and the best. I am a stock market junky, who spends more time reading research reports and mulling over equity data points on a weekly basis, than most investment professionals do in a year.

Anyone who reads my site knows the market belongs to “The Fly” aka Senor Tropicana, in a variety of ways—most obvious is my ability to book gains month in and month out— in a very “ho-hum, nothing to see here” sort of way, if I might be so bold as to say so. Investing comes easy to me. I offer no apologies.

Look, I can make this pitch page into some boring/lame excuse to subscribe to The PPT, giving you all sorts of pomp promises about the greatness of the product and my market hand. However, instead of doing that, just know this, I created The PPT, with the help of my IT guy, to further perfect my researching methods. I use it all day, everyday, prior to making investment decisions.

The PPT, all humor aside, saves me hours of time in research, cutting through all the bullshit, allowing me to isolate companies or etf’s worth investigating further. It is not the holy grail. However, it is, unequivocally, the best investment tool ever created, and by the way, has the blessings of all of the stock Gods.

In laymans terms, The PPT is an analytic engine that was created to grade stocks, based upon a variety of parameters—including both technical and fundamental data points. In addition, we’ve weaved in the price action of commodities (oil, gas, metals, agriculture), currencies (yen, dollar) and t-bills into our scores, all based upon historical correlating factors, and how they affect the share prices of the overall market and/or specific sectors. The system is not a slave to technical or fundamental analysis. It was designed to acknowledge both and, based upon my egregious experiences with other services, offers a much higher degree of market timing accuracy. And, let’s not forget, I created this damn thing. I am, without a doubt, much smarter than you. Indeed.

Finally, in addition to The PPT engine, I will provide direct assistance to subscribers, for no additional fee, which includes access to my top 10 positions, real time buys/sells, and custom screens worth perusing, on a nightly basis. It’s also worth noting, myself and other iBankCoin contributors will host a subscriber only blog and investment forum, all designed to enhance your “sub Fly” investment performance.

I hope you enjoy the product and make great use of it.

NOTE: Exclusive for PPT subscribers, I have a fairly in depth analysis up now, titled: “Betting Against Texas.”

    Congrats Sr. Fly, I really like the PPT. So far the stocks I traded from the PPT have made me money. It is an easy to use system with tabs to click on to locate ETFs, current buys and sells, your own testing screen, blogs, forums, charts, detailed analysis of each stock, watchlist of all the members. I have used Zachs and Marketclub in the past and this system is far better than those. Not to mention the most valuable asset is access to Sr. Fly’s brain on a daily basis!

    Come on guys….what are you waiting for.

    I don’t blow smoke up anyone’s ass, not even the Fly’s.

    It is incredible the amount of work Fly and Vincenzo have put into the PPT…and then to run the iBC blog on top…amazing amount of effort.

    Bottom line- the PPT is very well done. And the beauty of it is that it will only have more features added as time goes on.

    Perhaps the most impressive feature of the PPT, and something that the Fly hints at, is how much time it can save while screening for setups. It is very very fast.

    Citigroup Inc. is in talks with federal officials that could result in the U.S. government substantially expanding its ownership of the struggling bank, according to people familiar with the situation.

    While the discussions could fall apart, the government could wind up holding as much as 40% of Citigroup’s common stock. Bank executives hope the stake will be closer to 25%, these people said.

    Fly has only three levels to sign up for the PPT and ALL OF THEM are for MEN.

    He definitely has a bias towards his PPT being a ‘ gentlemen’s club’. All subscriber levels are treated equally.

    OOPS! until Fly changes it and makes a point of making each membership level noticed. Maybe you will get a gold star by the highest level, a silver by the middle and a bronze by the lowest….who knows.

    Thanks fly.

    Talking to a decent brokerage shop. I use them to tell me which way their clients are as they have a really good private client trading community.

    The broker told me that 85% of their customers that trade gold are long and as happy as a pig in shit. This is a fuck you market in the worst possible way. If these fuckers are long, they’ll get ape-raped.

    Fly, I dont quite understand the PPT’s rating on the ETFs. When you get time can you post some comments about how to use them? Both the ETF’s I have are ranked in the 2-1 area. Yet this pasts week one of them was sky high. I would like to understand entry and exit points better for these ETF’s. Guess I should have written this inside the PPT. But perhaps you can post something about it in the PPT so I can study it there and figure out what to do with these ETF’s.

    I’ll be damned, Senor Tropicana finally DID IT!

    The infamous PPT, now available for you and me, baby!

    This is a good time to consider economies of scale….

    If iBC could structure their PPT subscriptions, sort of like…say…AFF (Adult Friend Finder…which went from nothing to a cash f-king printing press)

    You might just get a lot more volume, via the perverted, “full-turbo pikers”

    Example:

    6 months: $17.14/month
    Billed at one installment of $102.84

    5 months $18.37/month
    Billed at one installment of $91.85

    4 months $19.59/month
    Billed at one installment of $78.36

    3 months $20.82
    Billed at one installment of $62.46

    2 months $22.04/month
    Billed at one installment of $44.08

    1 month $23.27/month
    Billed at one installment of $23.27

    Then again, I could be completely wrong!

  80. I have been reading the fly’s posts for a couple of weeks now. He is entertaining and yes sometimes he makes the right call’s, sometimes not. Hard to know how much money he makes or looses. I hate Cramer, but slam him all you want he has at least a real portfolio (down for second year). Same for other subscriptions such as Bespoke.

    Can i see a track record of George “The fly”? Without it he can just be a paper trader.

    CA,
    Don’t think I haven’t thought about it. Up until a few months ago, I just viewed a day job as being a good hedge against a bad run. However, my joint merged with another joint and heads are about to start rolling. So now I’m just treading water to see if I survive until bonuses get paid and/or what kind of severance I get.

    You’re absolutely right about the advantages of being able to focus 100%. But it’s tough to leave a base salary and a bloomberg terminal nearby, even if I hate my job. (I’m a fucking i-banker).

    j-daddy – I read the first paragraph and thought you were an i-b almost immediately.

    When many of my friends got laid off in the past few months on WS, I told them that’s great. I said WS is going to dead for the next 2,3,5 years. There’s going to heavy regulation, massive changes in the industry, gov’t control, less bonuses and perks, scrutiny all over the damn place on every fucking thing, even the status of being an i-banker/trader/analyst is seen as pariah-like. You will get little respect. This ship is definitely sinking.

    This is your opportunity to start a business of your own instead of rely on others to feed you. I’m sure you have enough capital to maintain your lifestyle, so it’s worth a shot. I started my first business when I was 21, and I am proud to call it my own. Food for thought.

    Freaking Wall Street is miserable at the moment. One of my buddies that used to work for me was laid off at an I-bank. He was a producer making 20 million a year for the firm as a sales/ trader in FX. Others are worried they’ll get the chop and the bonuses are pitiful.

    It’s really ugly.

    I suggest you don’t jump ship yet if you’re not ready to take the risk and milk the salary bonus comp until the end.

    Don’t listen to chart addict as he doesn’t have any freaking idea. How the fuck do you make a go of it in a small business just starting up now when the economy is taking it up the back side>

    CA,
    Couldn’t agree more. I’ve been warning all my colleagues that we’re all doomed since early 2007 when I dumped all my equities and went short in size. I’ve been looking at this year’s bonus, which I may not even get, as the last ever. Even if I don’t get bounced in the next wave of cuts, the whole place will slip beneath the wave of de facto nationalization by the end of the year. Apply a little simple analysis to my place’s balance sheet and assume even a moderate level of default in a lot of their paper and it’s completely insolvent.
    Believe me, I’m looking forward to fending for myself completely. A lot of you guys seem to thrive under those circumstances, and I’d like to think I would too. Thanks.

    j-daddy, don’t listen to your son, j.

    You can be successful in trading regardless of what the economy is doing. Your profits depend on how well you trade in the markets. In fact, anyone who trades should think of trading as a business venture. Trading is one of the very few businesses that, if operated correctly, defies any direct negative effect from a recession.

    I run a nice sized hedge fund in DC. I am 100% unaffected by the recession, and frankly, I could give a fuck if it gets worse.

    Even though the payment page is on PayPal, you should be able to pay without using your PayPal account. If you have a credit/debit card that isn’t already tied to a PayPal account, AND an email address that isn’t tied to a PayPal account, you should be able to pay that way.

    Let me know if this helps.

    Thanks I finally got on. Had to change numerous things on my inactive Patypal account.

    Question.

    I’m looking at BHP now. Your stuff indicates is a buy.

    The tech breakdown is to sell though.

    Why would the Hybrid score rate it a buy?

    I also looked at it’s history.

    A day ago it had it as a sell but it changed quite dramatically overnight. What would cause that?

    J:

    PPT questions in the PPT forum.

    The price of basic material stocks are affected by many things, including the actual material prices itself.

    If the stock chops around, the scores chop too. The PPT wants to be bullish on BHP and will do so, providing there is some stability in the name.

    This market looks fucked again. The tax cheat is busy with accountant at the IRS today so he doesn’t have enough time to announce a $45 billion down shift from preferred to common until Wednesday.

    Talked with a fellow in the know.. yea really tuned in…. and he told me that there’s 6 months supply of raw materials such as ore etc. in china at the moment.

    there’s no way i can check this out, but if it’s true is falls in line with Fly’s oil view I think.

    GE to ZERO…

    Hey, so if the government bails out GE…does that mean those CNBC fuckers (Dennis Kneale, Meatballs Gasparino) will not receive bonuses?

    Oh man, I would pay good money to see that…

    “you don’t really understand the difference between a business and a speculative operation which is what we do.”

    j, speculation is my business. I’m a short-term technical trader, what would you call that?

    It’s speculating.It’s your occupation, and you’re self employed by you’re not selling or making shit to sell to someone else. The only productive thing you and I are doing is offering markets deeper liquidity.

    In economics if anything has a positive rate of return (legal , not selling dope) it is a worthwhile endeavor. However don’t get carried away and tell me its a business.

    The Euro is fucked… Couldn’t hold to any gains from last Friday or today’s Asia.

    the Euro is the next pound. In fact perversely one could buy Stg against the Euro.

    PPT just helped me find a Buy!! I just bought NFLX@ 35.85 the fundies are great and the technicals were the only sell signal @ 2.31.

    I recognized the technical pullback as a buy opportunity and jumped on it.

    NFLX:

    PPT Recommendation: buy
    Hybrid Score
    Hybrid Score 3.15

    Whether you trade in a retail account or manage money for others, trading should be treated as a business. If it is not, then it’s simply a hobby to you.

    Henry, you never shouldve sold SWHC. Look at that diablo. Igniting away like a furious beast.

    My target continues to be 3.50.

    Chart A — I don’t think you guys are in disagreement, it’s just that J is being a bit more formal in his definitions of a “business” — ie, an operating company saleable in the open market. Strictly speaking, you could sell your skills for “X” millions, and likely “per year” but would have a hard time selling “Johnny C’s Trading Shoppe” UNLESS (and this is important) you were selling the training side of things (regular repeatable income is saleable).

    Also, if you had a book of managed assets, you could sell that as well, but probably not at much of a premium to book.

    Fly — congrats on getting this baby to the finish line at long last.

    Aside — I spent the greater part of this weekend helping my oldest son with his country report for school… take a guess which country he self-selected with no input from either parent?

    I am sick of hear’n you whin’n wall streeters bemoan’n your lost bakshish!! hey shut the fuck up, you guys have ruined the world financial system and you still want a bonus for your yelling at customers on the phone to buy buy buy feeding them bogus numbers and coercing them into a sale!!! fuck you all!
    You think a structural engineer, architect, physician or anyone else in this society that actually does something productive for society gets some huge bonus when he works on a multi-dollar project, no he gets his salary and maybe a little at Xmas.
    Growup you stupid glorified used car salesmen!!! go get a real job!!
