Believe it or not, I do not read the goulash that is disseminated on the internet. I read news, sports and iBankCoin—that’s it.
Blogging is not for everyone. As a matter of fact, I believe 90% of the financial bloggers out there have no business offering financial commentary. Running a website is harder than you think. I have to deal with the technical stuff, the personalities of others and quality of content. Without getting into specifics, let’s just say, I have done a poor job managing the content of this site and that is going to change.
A great man once said: “This isn’t a game anymore.” The truth of the matter is, I will rip out the livers— and eat them raw— of anyone who gets in the way of iBankCoin’s destined future to become the #1 destination for financial commentary. In order for that to happen, change is necessary, starting with me.
So, effective immediately, “The Fly” will no longer be considered “nice.” Gone are the days of unwavering patience, in the dark shadows of sheer ignorance. Gone are the days when I’d talk to strangers as if they were my equal, making believe they had value. Ladies and Gentleman of the interwebs, over the past 6-12 months, I’ve gone soft—losing my ways in the euphoria of the stock market. However, I promise you, from the bottom of my black heart: Omnibus Locis Fit Caedes!
As for this market:
We should be down 200 on the bad employment data, but we’re not. Even though the banks are weak, they’re not down enough to scare guys like me out of the market. Let me be clear: you cannot stop the momentum, spawned off by the will of the Turkey Gods. With every hour that passes, we edge closer to Thanksgiving. I need you to appreciate the significance of this inalienable fact: Wall Street likes turkey and stuffing.
Into this weird tape, I like POSCO (ADR) [[PKX]] , Equinix, Inc. [[EQIX]] and Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. [[CMG]] .
Now go away you stupid, stupid people. Go away.

Better than “slope,” I suppose.
There is no doubt that it reflects society and at times becomes a meaningless echo chamber
You used to say to get your share of the billions being made on the Internet.
Now you say it’s slop?
*pfft* no shit kiddo. you, clearly, are the only light in a sea of darkness. the lemmings agree indeed. as opposed to indeud.
CoachCoffee is gone?
So sorry CoachCoffee, you haven’t been making your numbers.
Maybe the ‘I Was Right In My Wrongness’ post was the final straw. Seems like a good guy, though, good writer.
Let’s get Alpha back to iBC, turkey gods willing. The iBC lineup from a year ago plus the addition of Henry cannot be surpassed.
Plus, Alphadawg was one of the strongest contributors to the PPT. ‘Course some of the readership lacks the character to join us in the ivory tower [sic], which suites me. To such derelicts, I say, enjoy your donuts. The PPT has enabled me to fleece even the very worst of you, and tomorrow will be no different.
Go blow Algernon, Charlie.
your friend,
Jake the new guy.

sorry to read that faux pas. That shit is cold. You’re he shit JG
Thanks, brofis.

Indeud, I have erred. For some reason, I forgot that Jake was not officially on the blogroll a year ago. Perhaps his dominion of KotPG supplemented my misstep.
Jolly good chap, when I inferred newer bloggers, my mind was considering those who have had short stays on the front page this past year. For example, perma beardogs and floozies writing about the latest trends at Dandy & Gabbanas. (event specific bloggers excluded, Dr.Cane, etc)
Apologies. I mean to say, the current blogroll plus Alpha would be exceptional.
For penning “Dandy and Gabbanas,” you are forgiven.
lol!

Henry, I think you meant that shite is GOLD!.
Thank you sir.
Blogs, twitter, etc. epitomize the unreasonable, emotional nature of humans. No stoicism whatsoever – and that’s exactly what’s needed most of the time.
FUCK YOU, YOU’RE DEAD!!!!!
Slop of Dope.
I got your shot of Java right heah>>> http://ibankcoin.com/henry_fool/2009/11/06/a-few-with-room-to-run/
I’m buying a litte Ebay here.
Talking with a fellow trader today about the Stock. Agrees with me the actually site is shitty. People don’t like it a much. Most of the players on it are professional players/suppliers and they aren’t very happy with the delivery of the service. The key value in the stock is pay pal which is the safest way to pay for shit over the web. Thinks it’s worth a ton more money than what it’s doing. The key to it is getting people to link their bank accounts rather than credit cards and there seems to be this migration happening which means they keep all the earnings.. thinks a much higher valuation ought to be ascribed to Ebay because of Pay pal.

EBAY is good property. PayPal is like a tollbooth

“Goulash,” no?
An acceptable offering to the Turkey Gods.
That, and Stuffed Lemming au Palo Alto.

Coach has a game

“The Internet is Slop.”
Hey, what about the promise not to use 4 letter words…
“I will rip out the livers— and eat them raw.”
fuck it – cook them on the burning corpse with blood sauce.
fortis est veritas

Welcome back Fly.
damn I liked the coach!
oh… don’t worry. first big down day you will be singing a different tune as usual.
Fly, this is my first post but as a first time commenter, short term(but dedicated) reader, i would like to say this: Unemployment numbers are about as important to the market as one of the coked out cnbc “analysts” climbing out of a tanning bed ready to do a line on the glass coffee table. We are in the 21st century for fuck’s sake, an Iphone has proven to be more proficient than 26 entry level employees why shouldn’t unemployment be high? the same fucksticks who were concernened about unemployment numbers when factory’s employed robots instead of wig’s from 8-mile can shit themselves all they want. . . dow 20,000
This market scares the shit out of me. Mommy, make that bad man go away, he’s scaring me!
