iBankCoin Has Sacked York!

ibc-knight

After little deliberation, the Teutonic armies of iBankCoin, led by 7 batteries of catapults, sacked the city of York and burned its citizenry to the ground. Much to the Duke’s surprise, his head was removed from his person and shipped south, as a warning to those opposing our rights and freedoms. We have been studying the “arts of magic” and have concluded that the controversial and widely debated Babe Ruth infield homerun cannot be substantiated, nor disproved. Because of these findings, we have gathered our armies, led by General ‘Gint and Major Mercury and their band of inbred foot soldiers, with God’s will and the Devil’s work at heart.

Our “selectees” have orders to capture and burn all enemy outposts, within the vicinity of York, regardless of socioeconomic background. All men shall be treated equally and ever so badly.

NOTE: All local magistrates shall be given safe quarter to our lovely Duluth prison/torture facilities.

    Save some of those York Peppermint Patties for me
    And Yogi Berra says that the Babe did get an infield home run thanks to four base errors.
    But then again Yogi said “I never said most of the things I said.”

    Maybe the sacking is partly due to this however, I rather view it as justice of the poetic sort. The comments following the article posted below were numerous and vociferous in both condemnation and ridicule of CNBC, a venue which we all love to hate.

    My own Poetic justification of justice follows

    The talking heads of CNBC,
    Daily blab on your TV.
    Regular founts of wisdom they are,
    Luring viewers from near and far.
    Alas my friend hard times have come,
    They’re cast to the sidewalk on their bum.
    Bounce they may from excessive padding,
    But the crowd as usual is always madding.
    Blood lust in their eyes they scream for justice,
    But the heads at the news desk they just cuss us.
    Said something about a Fly or what,
    Tried to be funny, but twas snot.
    mightily they struggle, to be relevant,
    but make as much sense, as sneakers for an elephant.
    Juvenile this tome may be,
    but to see them sink ,fills me with glee.

    CNBC Viewership Plunges 50% In October
    Tyler Durden’s picture
    Submitted by Tyler Durden on 10/27/2009 14:30 -0500

    * CNBC
    * Gobbledygook
    * Mad Money
    * NBC
    * NBC Universal
    * Nielsen

    If anyone wants to know why CNBC anchors are so pale and nervous these days, look no further. As Comcast CEO Brian Roberts considers what to keep and what to, well, cut, post his digestion of NBC Universal (assuming deal rumors are true naturally) his eyes likely cast casual nervous glances at Nielsen reports of CNBC viewership. Yet his nervousness is quite minor compared to what actual employees must be feeling after Nielsen reported a 50% plunge in CNBC vierwership in October year over year. Specifically, CNBC has experienced a massive 52% decline in overall viewers during business day hours (5 am – 7 pm), and a not much better 49% drop in its demo (25-54) in the month of October as compared to last year. Specific shows that are likely to follow the fate of Dennis Kneale’s recently cancelled 8pm gobbledygook are likely the Kudlow Report and Mad Money, which are down 59% and 56%, respectively.

    While one can speculate about the causes of the drop (call it readers who can read between the propganda teleprompter lines), one thing the drop does explain is why CNBC has had to recently resort to advertising products for incontinence among other bodily malfunctions.

    As always, Zero Hedge wishes the network a speedy recovery and a return to what it does best: reporting the news, without bias, without propaganda, and without an agenda. Once that happens CNBC and its new/old owners may be surprised how quickly its rating will return to normal.

      They have to reach into the same slush fund they used to buy Carusso-Cabrerra those new boobies and do the same for Burnett. Also, they have to prohibit her from speaking extemporaneously with anybody period. Her unique brand of boobery is like a conversation with my wife, you get the feeling that she isn’t really that interested in the markets and would rather fuck around all cutesy like with her co-workers

    I know senor mosca does not care for chart analysis all that much (if at all). But, just thought I’d share my observation that about 80% of the 200 or so stocks whose charts I scan daily are exhibiting negative momentum divergences. Pretty much the opposite from March of this year when easily 90% were exhibiting positive momentum divergences. A word of caution; be careful out there if you’re gonna put money to work on the long side.

    Sold more longs today to get to 70% cash. The 4% I’m short via RWM is looking good so far. Another day like today and I’ll move my stops up.

    Braveflaps: Sons of Scotland, I am William Braveflaps.

    Young soldier: William Braveflaps has a 7 foot penis named Larry.

    Braveflaps: Is there a moyl in the house?

    Young Soldier: I dunna speak the Gaelic!

    Soldier in Back: What did he say!?

    Old Soldier: Larry Penis has a boil!

    Braveflaps: I am William Braveflaps, and I see a whole army of my countrymen here in defiance of Haggar slacks, generic pants, and unGodly high-waisted trousers. You have come to fight as free men, and free men you are. What will you do with that freedom? Will you fight?

    Veteran soldier: I like my pants!

    Braveflaps: Real men wear kilts.

    Veteran solider: Well, obviously – I’m wearing a fucking kilt.

    Braveflaps: And?

    Veteran Soldier: I also like pants!!

    Soldiers turn to each other and begin to debate the merits of various forms of menswear. Two orthodox Jewish tailors emerge and begin measuring legs, but Braveflaps grows impatient. Suddenly:

    Braveflaps: WILL YOU FIGHT!?

    New Pants Soldier (hem being measured by a tailor): I can pick up my new pants on Tuesday!

    Tailor: Tuesday’s a rush job.

    New Pants Soldier: Wednesday!

    Tailor: After 2 pm.

    New Pants Soldier: I am available to fight on Wednesday afternoon!

    Braveflaps: Who will join us!?!

    Veteran Soldier: Nay – us old fuckers, we will run.

    Larry suddenly emerges from beneath Braveflaps’ kilt and strangles the veteran soldier to death. As he falls, Braveflaps begins to ride along the Scottish lines.

    Braveflaps: Aye… Fight and you may die, run – you’ll live to wear pants.

    New Soldier: Dungarees!? Are they also a form of trousers or- SNICK!!

    Larry WHIP-SNAPS the new soldier’s head off as Braveflaps rides on, exhorting the troops.

    Braveflaps: You may live if you run, at least a while.
    And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to
    trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one
    chance to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take
    our bitchin’ kilts, but that they will never take…our…freedom?!

    The Scots ROAR and launch toward the English lines, leaving the tailors to pack up in their dust…

    Tailor #1: Did you see the schwanz on that Braveflaps?

    Tailor #2: It reminds me: you can never find a moyl around when you really, really need one.

    Tailor #1: There’s good one in York.

    Tailor #2: Not…anymore…

    Tailor #2 watches the back of a horse race into battle, an ibankcoin logo brushed into its flanks…

    The inhabitants of the former city of York (now known as Toronto) often point out that your attack on York eventually led to the Canadians’ razing of Washington and the burning down of the White House (see War of 1812).

    Let this be a warning.

    Teahouse On The Tracks

    OEW Recap for Wed:

    “Today’s selling triggered the leading downtrend indicators in both the SPX/DOW and the NDX/NAZ. This indicator has worked quite well when both the derivative driven SPX and NDX trigger together. This suggests that the SPX 1101 high ended the current uptrend, Major wave C, and Primary wave B. When we get an OEW downtrend confirmation we will change the colors on the charts from tentative green to the appropriate color. Short term we are counting this decline as having completed waves 1 and 2 with wave 3 underway. Keep in mind that this 1-2-3 count should only be part of the first downwave of this downtrend. Monitor the OEW pivots, the RSI indicators and the USD index to track this potential downtrend as it unfolds. Once confirmed it would not be surprising if this downtrend corrects all the way back to SPX 869, the low of Major wave B.”

    Asia getting kicked around right now.

    Oh what will the GDP number say
    it doesn’t matter anyway — they are fabricated bullshit numbers anyway. Just another way to fool the fools, the sheeple, that believe the Government – Media complex. The fools go on believing in the ” Change that We Can Believe In” holding on to hope, following their so called “leader”

    The realist, are thinking ahead and preparing for the worst. If the worst doesn’t happen then nothing is lost. If the worst does happen, those who did nothing risk losing everything.

    Even though the sheeple make up the majority, make no mistake, the minority is growing. We are wise to the game and refuse to take the bait.
