Earlier this morning, while reading the paper in the backyard, I saw a giant crumb moving on one of the pavers. After further inspection, I discovered it was a little fucking ant, carrying a gigantic crumb to some egregious ant clan, or whatever the fuck those pesky vermin like to call home. I admired the little fellow, as he struggled mightily with the crumb. He was a greedy little fucker, trying to carry the big piece, while there were plenty of other smaller pieces nearby. “Super Ant” was trying to feed the whole damn ant universe with that monstrous crumb, instead he got his face smashed in with a giant sandal—if you know what I mean.
The moral of the story: Carry the smaller crumb, eat well, and go unnoticed.

Finally….First one to post! I am putting this on my resume 🙂
Nice post too Fly! I equate what you said to small term trading and taking profits quickly enough given the range bound market and its stupid choppiness. thank you for the nice reminder.
I thought the moral of the story was that if you’re willing to settle for crumbs,
your fate is to end up under the boot of the oppressor.

HOW THE FUCK?
http://sports.yahoo.com/box/news;_ylt=AuokfjhDPa39ijKvmuH4Tug5nYcB?slug=ap-gatti-death&prov=ap&type=lgns
Gatti was killed by his wife, strangled by her purse strap?
ABSURD.
What I don’t get is how this woman could over power Arturo with her purse? I don’t think we have the whole story yet.
Maybe it was Arturos’ purse. The moral of that story would be use a hand held purse. Not an over the shoulder that could get caught on somrthing when you fall and strangle you..
Gatti : the only boxer to win everyone of his matches with eyes shut.
i would bet he was either a) drugged b) fery fery drunk c) she-male
Lotta that going around.
Sleep w. one eye open, Fly.

WTF,
You killed the poor little wretch. Fly he had good genes. The little fucker was working hard doing his best and you murdered him?
That’s what a commie would do.
J
If I did not kill him, there would be no moral to this story.
So the ends justified the means? That little fucker was working hard and you crushed him for the simple reason that you anted (sic) a moral to the story. Shame on you fly.
Well the fucker did vote for Obama. What do you expect?
No, you got that wrong, Wilmer. Fly voted for “the O”. The ant was a Republican.
Uhh..yeah, I meant the fly. Of course the ant was a republican.
Maybe the ant symbolized American citizen liberties, and the sandal symbolized unconstitutional, warrantless wire tapping/eavesdropping/record keeping policies of the previous administration?
Just saying…
OEW Weekend update: http://caldaroew.spaces.live.com/?_c11_BlogPart_BlogPart=blogview&_c=BlogPart&partqs=amonth%3d7%26ayear%3d2009
” Now that Primary wave B has completed, and Primary wave C is underway we see two potential scenarios unfolding over the next many months. The first would be a five wave pattern down to the Mar 09 lows at SPX 667, to complete an elongated flat. The second would be another extended zigzag pattern breaking through that low and bottoming in 2010 in the neighborhood of SPX 400. It is too early to tell which scenario will unfold. But this remains a treacherous stock market.”
“Every downtrend, and there has been seven of them thus far, has taken the form of a impulsive five wave structure. This new downtrend should also exhibit this structure. If not, then the alternate DOW count would come into play. The range of the completed downtrends has been between 139 and 572 points, with the mean between 240 and 253 points. If we apply these last two numbers we arrive at a potential downtrend low between SPX 703 and 716. These levels fall right in line with the OEW long term pivot at SPX 717.”
“The decline from SPX 932 has made a lower low to SPX 869 signalling that it is indeed Minor wave 3. However, the internal wave structure is not as well defined as of yet. Keep in mind that these downtrends are impulsive looking waves in a bear market, and not the more defined impulse waves of a bull market. Should the SPX rally back to thursday’s high at 888, then we’ll label 869 as Minute 1, and 888 or so as Minute 2, of Minor wave 3. If not, we’ll just have to continue to track Minor wave 3 as it unfolds. The hourly RSI continues to track the short term moves quite well.”
“Bonds gained 1.6% for the week as Bond yields continued to decline. Expecting the 10YR to touch just under 3% before ending the downtrend.
Crude dropped 10.4% on the week as its downtrend intensified. It appears to be in a third wave down, similar to the stock markets.
Gold dropped 1.8% on the week. It’s downtrend continues, but it appears to be getting close to a completed wave pattern. “
Asia got a red hot tube up the backside today, however the reasons for the falls have a particularly Asian flavor about them and it may not transfer over to the US markets this evening.
Fitch down grades in japan’s consumer loans sector. Political problem in japan. China jailing the Rio exec.
The real serious problem is that the Yen is being allowed to appreciate in the face of overwhelming evidence that the country could actually implode. The Japanese better start thinking of ways to weaken the Yen or they’re done for is what I reckon.
Dollyen and the liquidity marker, euro yen bounced hard off their lows over the past hour which may indicate a more benign opening for US stocks if the cross is able to hold up here.
In addition Phillips the Euro consumer goods maker actually made a profit for the quarter which was outside expectations as the street was expecting a loss.
Hey Fly:
European Union antitrust regulators have charged Royal Philips Electronics NV and LG Display with fixing the price of liquid crystal display monitors, Philips said Monday.
Philips said it would “vigorously oppose” the allegation that it was jointly liable for a cartel operated by South Korea’s LG Display. It sold its remaining shares in LG Display in March.
The European Commission did not name all the companies it had charged but said they made monitors for PCs and laptops and smaller screens used in mobile phones, digital cameras, handheld computers and MP3 players.
The world’s No. 1 and No. 2 LCD screen makers — both South Korea-based Samsung Electronics Co. and LG Display — had no comment on the EU charges. Sharp and Hitachi did not immediately reply to calls and e-mails seeking comment.
The EU launched the cartel investigation in 2006 in parallel with similar action by U.S. regulators. These followed probes by South Korea and Japan.
In the U.S., LG Display Co. Ltd., Sharp Corp., Chunghwa Picture Tubes Ltd and Hitachi Displays Ltd have pleaded guilty and paid some $600 million in fines for fixing the prices of screens they sold to manufacturers of computers, phones and music players.
The world market for LCD screens is worth $70 billion.
The European Union often levies heavy fines in cartel cases that can go as high as 10 percent of global annual revenue for each year the company broke antitrust rules.
Don”t be the scurrying, struggling ant. Be the shoe.
So does Meredith Whitney’s GS call and bank TCE call mark the end of the correction?
Fly – About the ants… If it weren’t for ants you would be up to your arse [sic] in crumbs. Tread lightly and bank much coin grasshopper.
Many of his hillbilly cousins are in my kitchen, I’m using my Time Magazine with Sarah Palin on the cover as The Sandal.
Moral to this story ….stay the fuck out of my kitchen.
FAZ-tards ass reamed this am…..

FIG!
Fly why did you have to be a REAL ASSHOLE FOR?
This is the first post you created that I hate. That was an asshole move. That fucking ant worked harder then you probably have your whole life.
I hope you do something good today to give back to earth. Seriously a fucked up move.
Pete;
Have to agree with you there. If Fly was of a mind to kill he could have just as easily picked on the lazy little fuckers that were just going to through the motions of pretending to work.
you mean like state and city employees?
sactly
State and City employees are not ants.
They are grasshoppers.

Moral of the story: Don’t bust your hump for anyone. Here’s one for the brown nosing ant:

mrkcbill tried all 3 leading colon cleansers and is becoming a little suspicious of fraud.
what type of ant? carpenter, leaf cutter, fire?
is there a police report on the “murder” of the ant?
did anyone notify the next of kin?
was there a will?
Buying Bac here.
Testing the water and buying a little Euro/yen here with a tight stop at 128.47 shouldn’t go there and if it does it’s going quite a bit lower.
Fuck all of you bug loving dirtbags. Go play with your pet roaches and fuck off.
I personally am a mass ant murderer.
I use Hi-Yield Turf Ranger with Deltamethrin……good shit…..
ants today….zero tomorrow…..
I would smoke a cigar with you any day, unlike many of these vermin lovers. I bet they feed their pet roaches near the dinner table.
YOU BASTARD…KILLING THE POOR ANT. THE SUPER ANT AS WELL.
Buy symbol ANT

If any of you want to know where Margaret Brennan of CNBC went…she is now hired on Bloomberg and is on now!!!!
shit….are all the people of CNBC going to come over and ruin Bloomberg also?
(of course Margaret is cute, but cute only goes so far…)
I like the way Bloomberg dont allow their presenters to offer their own opinion on matters. They ask the questions, get the guest answer and then move on. If they change the format to match CNBC, that will be the day I turn off.
Margaret made her Bloomberg debut on July 13 in the 10 a.m. Eastern anchor seat.
