One Last Thing About Anonymity

I don’t want to pound this issue into the ground, since Denni Kneel [sic] is just whoring for eyeballs (note: despite Kneel [sic] mentioning iBC on his show, the site did not get a traffic bump. In other words, more people read iBankCoin than watch his experiment in live idiocy).

I am going to put the matter of anonymity to bed, right now.

If CNBC, specifically Charlie Gasparino and David Faber, fesses up and discloses the identities of all of their egregious sources (you know, the ones who give them all of their market moving hot tips), I will reveal my identity, alongside everyone on this site (providing they agree). Additionally, I am sure many anonymous bloggers will do the same.

Furthermore, since transparency is so important to the pig-masters on the teevee, I propose they (CNBC) cease using sources that wish to remain anonymous. You know, let it all hang out—fuck it. Lead by example, great make-up God’s from the teevee, and we (simple bloggers) will follow you into an era of unbridled transparency.

    Great idea, Fly.

    Yep, I’m in. You can reveal my identity if those CNBC meatball’s reveal their anon sources.

    I bet Denni won’t got go for that though.

        journalists go to jail rather than reveal their sources – don’t hold your breath..gasparino has NO JOB if he gives it away- ie his sources…he won’t and neither would you if you were him.

    Fly –

    This is not worth your concern. He wants to mention us – great. I guarantee you, no one is taking investment advice from Dennis Kneale. This site makes people money. CNBC reports coked-out rumours [sic] and manipulates markets. They are playing it up – Dennis vs. Blogo-Goliath. We all get it, a pretty little fool can come out on TV and defend his cred. It’s all part of the game.

    Utterly insane. He actually asked Denninger if bloggers “manipulate the markets”. Hypocrisy at its finest. Yeah, we manipulate whatever you CNBC shits don’t, you’re spot on, Dennis.

    Once again, this site actually contains measures of reality and investment advice. Yo,u Fly, are a God, and these made-up clowns are the true evildoers.

            Well, this entire enterprise sails under the banner of “iBankCoin,” j,
            with the PG being just another self-mocking hipster sub-group.

            But I’m sure Fly would give you your own tab if you blogged often enough
            on the subject to warrant it. Nobody else is talking about currency trading
            or its correlation the equity and bond markets.

    Scum

    Why would they be lying? How do you know?

    Unless you can back that up with some solid evidence they are lying then it’s frankly a very stupid unhelpful comment that goes in the “GS is robbing me, because they’re manipulating the the markets and I lost money” type of comment. In other words, stupid, unsophisticated and sorta bigoted.

    The large banks with good investment banking operations possibly had a top quarter. in fact because of the red hot markets it could be the best quarter in ages in that sector. Writeoffs? Of course there will be write-offs, Dumphy. In fact they will be horrible with BofA writing off around 7 billion alone in one part of the book. meanwhile margin income will be large because of of the borrowing/lending spread.

    So please explain in detail where there will be lying. They could be lying however you need to prove they are.

    Go!

    Fuck it from now on I’ll be questioning all these truther like comments we see here to ram out all this conspiracy theory shitola we keep getting now.

    Don’t do it!! I am new to your site/blog and enjoy the accuracy and attention to detail and the vast vocabulary. Not knowing who you are makes no difference to me as long as your work is informative. However, do what YOU feel is best but don’t give in to loosers who are simply envious of your abilities. It takes a lot of effort to keep a site of this calibre going, and the loosers know deep inside of them that they are incapable of such effort. Hence their being envious. Anyhow, keep up the good work and don’t even give them any attention, and even like a nasty stench of shit, eventually, they too will go away.

    water is pouring in. the levee will not hold forever.

    while they watch the newspapers media empires crumble, tv networks have one choice; either work out a way to put guys like the fly and tyler durden on air anonymously or be defeated.

    i am serious, this is a test AND a rehearsal. because eventually, tv producers being resourceful as they are they will work it out. and they understand that the one way dialogue of tv with its audience is going the way of the newspapers and the dodo.

    see… newspapers are going BK not just because they are made of paper. they are going BK because the news onlineis available almost instantly (newspapers are printed a day late) AND they allow the readers to have a conversation immediately about it. not to some asshat jorno coming with a mic and a producer choosing the best/worst parts of the pundits comments: an unfiltered, anonymous comment section. THAT is what is killing the newspapers and soon will destroy the TV networks if they don’t get with the program.

    Online anonymity allows everybody in. something tv personality circus CANNOT.

    you have no teleprompter feeding you. you don’t have to wear a tan to fit the tv standards. you don’t have to have a pile of degrees. you don’t have to have worked at GS or JPM or with Soros or UBS or who gives a shit. no one knows if you are a woman or a man. pretty or ugly. your nationality. or what skin colour or if you have an accent.

    all you have to be able to do is type.

    your credibility is build upon the meat, the core: your comments.

    and that’s the anonymity paradox: you can’t hide – stand behind anything else but your comments.

    D.K. is a dunce. plain and simple as that. The man has no expertise in anything and has no business being on camera where his ignorance can and has caused harm to viewers who do not know any better. I suspect D.K is a fan of Jerry Springer and likely was sitting in his underwear, beer in one hand and chicken leg in the other, laughing his ass off when a brain fart finally popped into his head. It was at that point he realized how he could emerge from the shadow of obscurity. I believe D.K. and CNBC are fully aware that this lil tirade of theirs is not making D.K any more popular; in fact, i suspect they know and are willing to accept that it makes them look like desparate crack whores willing to trick themselves out for quick fixes – cause at the end of the day, those fixes keep them going.
