iBC Wins Again

Friday, July 3, 2009 at 2:54 am

iBC’s moral police officer, aka Woodshedder, is schooling you rookies about the Golden Cross. I strongly suggest you pay attention, else get nailed to it.

UPDATE: Mr. Denninger is losing a few screws, over at his glorified yahoo message board site, due to Woodshedder’s superior IQ and proficient swagger.

    your desperation for a bull story rears it’s ugly head again.

  2. Better wait for Wood’s research on a double crossover … could be that the 2nd negates the 1st !

  3. The Fly says:

    Everyone: fuck off.
    Thanks

  4. Hammy says:

    Did anyone catch the news about the largest Marine Corps assault since Vietnam that took place yesterday (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090703/ap_on_re_as/as_afghanistan)?

    • Yogi & Boo Boo says:

      Hammy, Made the NY Times on July 2. Slightly different spin. Looks like there’s still a lot of work to do. BTW, Thanks.

  5. The Fly says:

    Shit, I didn’t even read that Hammy. Thanks.

    By the way, thank you for your service.

  6. Woodshedder says:

    I heard it Hammy, on of all places, NPR.
    Seemed odd to me on several levels that it didn’t get more coverage.

  7. Hammy says:

    you’re welcome! my pleasure. enjoy your freedom to bank coin!

    • The Fly says:

      My brother in law is in the corp too. He just got home from a 5th tour, dating back to Gulf War 1.

      • Hammy says:

        you also mentioned a retired sergeant major as one of your clients.

        5 tours? i believe it, but that’s wild.

        I question the patriotism of any non-military mid-20s male who hears about a Marine or soldier coming back from their 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th deployment, and doesn’t feel a tinge of guilt. there’s a serious moral hazard taking place when so few serve so many– and many of those going on multiple deployments are the types who could do very well back home working a civilian job.

  8. Hammy says:

    yeah, it’s interesting how little coverage something like that gets. today i saw michael jackson’s voice coach on CNN but nothing about Marines

  9. The media is briefed after each element of an operation is complete due to security issues.

  10. DPeezy says:

    Woodshedder is a one-man army, venturing into enemy territory and sniping the fuck out of retards who argue over statistics.

    “Of course 2+2=4, but in this case the first 2 has undergone inflation from 1930, while the second 2 is downtrending from 3, so obviously in this case this is a ‘false’ summation and it will all equal out to 7 in the end.”

    LMFAO.

  11. Karma point +1 to DP.

    BTW, I just discovered that KD has opened registration to those with GMail accounts.

    Last time he wrote something that had me irritated enough to respond, I couldn’t get registered due to a lack of transparency in my email address (there was a not about no Yahoo! or Gmail accounts).

  12. LOL…

    Too New of a User

    The forum does not permit posting for new registered users until a period of time has passed in order to attempt to stop spam attacks.

    You can lift this restriction either through the passage of time or via making a donation to the forum. See the FAQ for details on donations.

    I love it - shake down new members who have no patience and need to have their instant gratification, gratified.

  13. ^^^ user message from KD’s forum imporium

  14. On the other hand, ZH is now accepting membership.

    I guess he is “rogue” because he does not work at GS.

  16. Juiceyfruit says:

    Kudos to the Sheddster taking on Denninger, with class.

    I am in the camp that says the golden cross ain’t nearly as golden without MA’s moving in same direction. So far, the point of that golden cross has cost any bulls who initiated trades on it. Probably the thing to do is wait till first intermediate term oversold reading after signal, before getting long.

    I like Karl & think he is incredibly knowledgeable/intelligent .. but often he is too shrill & carries the negative too far, for his or anyone’s good.

  17. Troy says:

    Good job on calling this guy out as he can prove to be dangerous if someone chooses to follow his advice, which is strange to say the least. To be honest im somewhat perplexed how people can’t see behind the facade of this guy and his strange ego.

    Also, does anyone get the sense that Denninger is the only one(or thereabouts) posting on his forum? I got the feeling (at least to me its quasi obvious) that he uses several different aliases to post on his forums to make it seem like there is always people talking about something. However the discussion is a clear set-up as you can tell by the time difference between posts, the rhetoric of the posts and the people doing the postings are always the same.

    • j says:

      Yea that’s true. It looks like he’s using all these sock puppets to agree with him as they all seem to share the same language.

      I never trusted him from the first day i saw a vid of Denninger. He’s too shifty for my liking and now he can’t even admit one little mistake the Shed has found.

      Shed’s a giant slayer as far as I’m concerned.

      One down and more to go.

  18. Troy says:

    Lastly, all the negative biased answers against you are the same guy, that weird Denninger dude. Don’t sweat it bcs that is his MO, very bizarre indeed. Makes you wonder the stability of that dude, freaking scary!

  19. I use the 10 day SMA, check whether the indices are above or below it. If there is a doubt, place your stops. I keep my TA simple.

    Golden Cross, Death Cross etc etc - come on!

  20. Cash-N-Guns says:

    Sempre Fi..Hoo-rah….godspeed to all seving overseas in harms way…(line cooks dont count).

  21. j says:

    Shed:

    Good job in skewering that Denninger.

    I notice he has attracted huge numbers of “the 30’s deflation” rabble over there.

    I can;’t stand dudes that won’t admit they are wrong and then start lying about it. Anyways Denninger has always head the shifty Madoff look about him like he’s hiding something. Not suggesting he’s dishonest or anything but he seems to share the same crooked eyes look that Bernie.

    Good the see a portly guy south of the Mason line showing some grey matter for a change.

  22. j says:

    oops

    …..Had that….

    …….that bernie had..

  23. Woodshedder says:

    Thanks for the show of support folks.

    As for Denninger creating new identities, who know. Last night was the first time I’ve ever visited his forums.

    I can say that it seems that everyone there is afraid to argue against him.

  24. gappingandyapping says:

    Holly shit Karl is dead fucking wrong and Wood is skooling the shit out of him. I know what its like when you are wrong and don’t want to admit it but in this case Karl is fucking wrong as hell. NOW I have the fucking answer to all of your technical questions:

    LET BRIAN SHANNON SETTLE THE ARGUMENT!

    I have mucho respect for this lazy man (not physically of course) and Brian is one of the best and strict technicians I have seen. Brian if you read this blog can you opine?

    Happy 4th homos and rock on Wood!

  25. Woodshedder says:

    Brian is very very good.

    However, I don’t know how much of a backtester he is.

  26. TraderCaddy says:

    Happy 4th of July to all.

  27. j says:

    Shed:

    Just so I get the story right, you saying that two ma’s crossed over on July 2 which may, operative word is may, suggest a bullish outcome for the S&P. Is that right? Which ones?

  28. No One says:

    Golden cross is just one signal. Don’t read into it too much in this case since there are many other conflicting messages. You also don’t have enough data to support. 30 trades isn’t much.

    Statistically, pre-4th of july should have been an up day with a “100%” probablity or so…… I’d be careful.

  29. Woodshedder says:

    Denninger just took his toys and went home. Poor baby. Tough arguing with adults.

    Here is what it says when I try to access the forum:
    Unauthorized Request

    You are receiving this message because you attempted to follow a link to a message that resides in an area of the forum only open to users with a specific user classification or privilege, and you either provided no user credentials or the credentials you provided lack the privileges required.

    Your request has been denied.

    Hmmm…does anyone else find this disturbing, from a man who tries to preach honesty, intellectual discourse, and transparency?

  30. Woodshedder says:

    j, 50 and 200 day.

    No one, why mix this with anything else? This is a pure technical signal. Can you go back for the rest of crosses and quantify the macro-economic environment that existed when the cross happened?

  31. Karl says:

    Bah.

    Mr. “Wood” thinks he can take one sentence out of a multi-page entry, removing it from its context, and then rant on about it, declaring “victory by repetition.”

    Uh, no. Have fun over here folks; in the real world we expect honest debates to take place within the context of the original comment being debated, which was the specific claim by Mr. Kneale that this “signal” was a valid indicator of a new bull market and the end of the recesson.

    Mr. Wood says “this is a pure technical signal”. No it isn’t in **in the context that Mr. Kneale used**, which was the entire original point. Only by making the false claim that I presented it as a **stand-alone technical indicator** does Mr. Wood have an argument to make - and when repeatedly confronted with this he has refused to answer to the debate point.

    First and last post here folks; if you want the original thread is now in “The Bar” over at Tickerforum, and Asimov started an analytical thread in Technical Analysis as well.

    • Rita says:

      Asimov? you mean one of your alter-egos perhaps? How bizarre that your reasoning and matter of speak is exact and uniform regardless if its spewed from “Asimov”,” Pika-something”, “Moonblahblah”, “ohm1000″ and on and on. Double speak can not be masked without intelligence. Happy Independence Day America.

  32. Well, if I may jump in here, being the Chart Addict and all, what was the ORIGINAL and EXACT reason/cause for such debate, RE: Golden Cross? I can clarify misunderstandings on the Golden Cross.

  33. Woodshedder says:

    The Chart Addict, it would be easy to point you to the thread, but Mr. Denninger deleted it!! lmao…

    Funny that as soon as it is deleted, someone (Karl) shows up here to defend him.

    Denninger is a fascist; you heard it here first!

  34. Golden cross says:

    You folks are arguing over insignificant details that benefit nobody without the proper fundamental background. One of you might be ‘technically’ right about the ‘definition’ of golden cross, but I assure you all if you follow this with your money, this golden cross will turn into golden showers for you. Now stop the idiocy and infantile arguments over utterly insignificant details.

  35. Woodshedder says:

    Lmao…Denninger, you’re a fraud and a joke.

    My research stands.

    Both my posts detail the argument, and they post Denninger’s exact words. Note here that he has failed to mention exactly what he wrote, and has now once again changed the debate.

    • Joe says:

      This was me and not Denninger and give it up with your deep craving for being right. its irelevant. Even if you are technicaly right about your insignificant detail you are arguing, it doesn’t increase your facility to COIN.
      Everyone with access to yahoo/finance has been masturbating at the prospect of this formation (golden cross) for months now. Read Peter Lee. I believe he is the best in explaining these patterns.

      happy 4th to all

    • j says:

      not to mention his Madoff-like shifty like eyes

  36. Woodshedder says:

    TCA, please, go over to his forums and find this area called “The Bar.”

    I cannot find it.

    Or since I am banned and have to “donate” to receive privileges (is that not the oddest thing? To have to pay to play with Denninger?) maybe I just cannot see it.

  37. Karl Denninger just created 2 new twitter accounts:

    @KarlDenninger
    @Karl_Denninger

    • Bozonian says:

      Bingo. What a scam Denninger, huh? Unsuspecting folks can get seriously harmed by that type of behaviour. He should be exposed more widely, someone is bound to get hurt by his disinformation and false propaganda.

  38. AI says:

    Signed up for his forum but I get a box that says enter my user name and pass code …cant get in weird

    • Woodshedder says:

      No, that’s by design. Welcome to the Denninger’s world where you have to pay to play, and the righteous are banned and deleted.

      • Woodshedder says:

        Even better, if you get banned, and get have to pay a donation to get un-banned, Denninger may keep your money, and still not un-ban you.

  42. j says:

    Not to put a finer point on it, but who the fuck is this Karl.

    He talks a big book about economics but seems to have been a computer engineering geek and seems to have no formal qualifications in economics at all.

    This is not to say people shouldn’t comment without quals, but he’s supposed to be some sort of economics guru making huge predictions that the US will have deflation and that that won’t be any inflation in 2009.

    That’s one prediction. He’s fucking wrong on that one .

    If we use CPI measure US year on year inflation is actually running at 2%

    IF we use the traditional money supply measure US broad ags and reserves in the banking system are running amok.

    Amazing what people will latch onto.

    Again, you don’t need quals in economics to speak about it, but he’s a big time doomsday pundit.

    These charlatans always role up at the right time. Boom or bust they’re always there.

    Fucking coward, shuts you down because he’s wrong.

  43. j says:

    Some of the predictions he made at the end of 2009 were pretty fucking evident they were going to happen and he calls these predictions.

    Who didn’t think GM and Chrysler weren’t going o go bust in late December?
    Who didn’t think the savings rate would rise in 2009?
    Who didn’t think some states wouldn’t get into financial trouble especially when Cal had already handed out IUS.

    Here take a look

    http://market-ticker.denninger.net/

    And he updates saying not one of his predictions has been proved wrong.

    Most of these weren’t predictions at all, they were in fact extensions of events carried over from 2008.

    Now the clown says he hasn’t got one prediction wrong.

    If people want to be bearish there are far more credible people to follow than this reprehensible jerk off that closes you down if he fucks up and lies about it. The charlatan.

  44. Goin'Fawr says:

    j and I don’t often agree, but:

    “If we use CPI measure US year on year inflation is actually running at 2%” is an exceptionally astute observation on his part.

    For the past fifteen years ( and longer) gov’ts worldwide have been carefully choosing their variables when it comes to calculating ‘flation. And without a doubt they have all been tailoring their statistics to minimize anything that indicates a high rate. So if the rate appears to go negative (deflation), it is probably just a matter of the level of bullshit we are being fed and told it’s ‘green shoots’.

    Cdn. Prairiedog, you care to weigh in on this?

  45. DEVILDOG says:

    Karl is correct. Fly, Wood and j are just fucking stupid cows. Greater Great Depression with massive deflation and socioeconomic and political conflict is just starting. 7 new “green shoots” banks seized yesterday, the 5th largest economy in the world issuing IOUs and continuing increases in unemployment are the real world facts. Fuck the BULLSHIT 2nd half ‘09 economic recovery lie. S&P 150 BY 2015. Deal with it.

  46. Woodshedder says:

    Devil, you have no idea what you are talking about. No one here is debating the economy.

    I have to say that you have been shown to be a quitter. We don’t take kindly round here to quitters.

  47. The Fly says:

    Indeud, a cowardly quitter he is.when the revolution starts, dd will be running for cover

  48. kim jong il says:

    ahhh…well….no, actually devildog and karl are quite correct.

  49. kim jong il says:

    in two weeks, when cally starts laying off huge numbers of teachers and LAW enforcement officers…and stops paying welfare, they will burn the state down. 250,000 well armed gang members in l.a. alone. when that happens, reality will hit fly, wood, j and whoever else like a sledgehammer to the forehead. maybe, just maybe you will wake up then. but who knows…you’ll probably still be saying to buy glw.

  50. Robb says:

    Karl Denninger must have been getting reamed by being short Gold, long T’s and Short the SM (this is his mantra). I think I would be miserable as him, especially since its obvious his forum is rigged and he is constantly chatting with himself. Pretty pathetic folks. Discolure, im shorting the shit out of this market as of two weeks ago, and Denninger can fix my software any day.

  51. The Fly says:

    Never trust a man who spells carl with a K.

  52. fubsy_cooter says:

    Fuck the golden cross. this market is doomed. I’d say the more valid marker is the 50 week MA which we bumped agaqinst at 958. It has repelled every advance in a bear, and supported every decline in a bull since 1998. If we break above 50 week MA back test and hold above it, I would have to get out my rally hat, but this is an obvioud bear market rally. The lows have not yet been seen. Woodshedder will cover if he’s betting long.

    Fubsy

  53. dave says:

    I don’t see the point in making market calls. It’s like talking to some batshit crazy chick who explodes when you say something wrong in their opinion and you’re clueless about it. You can’t argue with crazy.

    Trends come and go. What do you guys care anyway? You’re going to make money up or down.

    It’s financial Darwinism. IBC will prevail regardless.

    Good article. Also the embedded article about the overuse of medicine care below.

    http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2009/06/01/090601fa_fact_gawande?yrail

    My great uncle had triple bypass surgery at the age of 78. He never got out of bed again and languished in misery for 3 more years. His medical bills topped $1.5 million dollars. They would have been much greater if not for his son, who retired early, to take care of his father at home.

    This country is fucked based on healthcare alone.

    Stop being a freaking coward and do the right thing, Dog as your eager readership wants to know what you’re errr thinking these days.

    Man-up dog and do the right thing. This cowardly backdown is frankly disgusting.

    That is the sign of a dying forum. Trust me, I was twelve when google came to be, and have/still participate in many forums across the web. I have yet to come across such a fascist group of individuals in my life.

    Seriously! Even in our attempts at 4chan to spam KKK forums across the web, I have never seen such a fucked up run ‘forum’.
