Naturally, CNBC is for Asshats

If you are confused over the current direction of the market, join the party, hosted by yours truly. Drinks and appetizers WILL NOT be served. Just a few short weeks ago, or maybe a month (I forget), the market was fun. I was skipping through green fields, with knitted sweaters wrapped around my shoulders and cigars hanging out of my mouth.

Today, I am shivering in a wet alley, with a dirty old burlap jacket velcro’d to my back and a crack pipe hanging out of my pocket. Life is grim, especially when you make all sorts of fucked up moves. Now, in all fairness, my recent flurry of buys, specifically in Corning Incorporated [[GLW]] , OmniVision Technologies, Inc. [[OVTI]] and Ciena Corporation [[CIEN]] , have not been all that bad. It’s the other shit that’s killing me, namely [[ERX]] and Flotek Industries, Inc. [[FTK]] . You do not need a “calculator brain” to know that holding onto losers is ALWAYS a bad idea. I broke all sorts of rules, holding through the carnage. As much as I preach, I did not heed my own warnings. For that, I am awarding myself a commemorative Asshat of the Week Award.

For the most part, I am still bullish on select tech names, despite what the tape is saying. I’ve been at this long enough to know the tape is always wrong, or often behind the curve.

As for Dennis Kneel [sic]:

First, I want to bury the ridiculous hatchet between Karl (boy do I hate the K in Carl) and iBC. He and Woodshedder can go debate “the ancient secrets of the Golden Cross” on 60 minutes. To be honest, I don’t give a fuck.

[youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKJerbbbuT8 616 500]

This Dennis character is besmirching those who blog from the comforts of anonymity. Look here, dickhead, some people don’t want their faces covered in make-up. Some people do not want the lights shining on their faces. Some people have important things to say and require anonymity to do so. If you think anonymity is bad, lobby Congress to restrict anonymity at the polls. Let’s get rid of whisteblowers and informants too. Who the fuck needs them anyway?

After all, life is all about being transparent, except of course when you are cheating on your wife or dancing around your taxes.

You get my point.

Some people require privacy and do not want to be bothered by others. Instead of lashing out at the tiny little internet, Dennis should take a look in the mirror and try to recall all of the stupid shit he said on national television, such as: “I bet you this market closes up today.” By far, CNBC is the worst offender of manipulating stocks, in all of the media—combined. How many times did Gasparinio or Faber or Cramer jerk stocks higher, as a result of bad reporting?

Tell me Dennis, are you feeling lucky, punk?

    The bottom will come when the Kneale, Gasparino, Cramer and co. are dragged out of the CNBC studios and hung from meat hooks with piano strings.

    I rather like Denninger. Says it how it is. No sugar coating all the BS.

    Funny how the market stages these dramatic end of day rallies and then proceeds to move lower the following day. Same shit was happening in February during the decline. Shake you out of your shorts and proceed to drop the market lower. I am staying short here and will stay that way unless we close above S&P 900.

    everyone here please boycott CNBC like I did 2 months ago….I have not put my TV on that vomit puddle CNBC once since then. I only see those stupid fucks from CNBC on posted snipets like the one above….If everyone would switch to Bloomberg, CNBC will wither on the vine with less and less viewers and hopefully go bankrupt soon…..

    Bury the hatchet in “Special K’s” misshapen skull.

    Fuck with Wood, in an altogether cowardly way, no less, and feel the steel.

    Since when does “The Fly” favour “peace in our time?”

      Here’s the thing though Anton, Karl is still a dick for the way he’s treated Shed. FFS how do you get into an argument about a crossing cock and balls formation I dunno know but they did. He then shuts Shed off when he was being a gentleman all though the argument. So Karl is a hypocritical dick as far as I’m concerned. He wags a finger at the silly gay dude on CNBC (who’s in tears because people think he’s an idiot), but in a way Derringer(sic) is sorta doing the same thing. He wrote a scathing little piece attacking the Shedster the other day that was totally dishonest. He’s really no better that that used dildo at CNBC.

      I like Shed, I think he behaved like a gentleman and Derringer was a pric. Shed of course needs to lose a little weight around the girth, but of course everyone has issues and that’s the only criticism I can level at Shed. On the other hand Derringer seems to be wearing a weasel on top of his scone and therefore can’t be taken seriously about economics.

          Fact check on Karl. I believe you would be incorrect about the “not making a dime comment.”

          This little flame war is unnecessary. Gotta give Karl some dues, the guy does know his shit more than 95% of the IBankers, MBAs, CFAs and traders I have known. (please refrain from cheap shot due to that comment, I can see your squirrel brain ticking)

            If he had had a legitimate point, he would have debated Woody like a man. And he wouldn’t have erased the thread once Woody bested him.

            And while you’re “fact-checking,” check the work Shedder’s done on this site for years. Unlike your hero, he is open about his methodology and his results.

            Now get Special K’s nuts out of your mouth, squirrel-brained sycophant.

            Or don’t.

            It’s not a “cheap shot” if it’s true.

    What happened to FBN? Do people watch that? The chicks are 10x hotter and they lean a little more conservative which I believe is good for business. I’ve also noticed they don’t hype shit as much. CNBC shouldn’t even be an issue here.
