STFU

I don’t go to your house and tell you what brand of disinfectant to use when mopping the floor. I don’t barge into your office and demand that you swap out your old/bullshit blackberry, for a more advanced iPhone. Do not come here, to my internet office, and tell me—emphatically—how I should be managing money. I’ve been doing this shit for too long, too well, to take advice from anyone.

Let me explain my arrogance more specifically. If Warren Buffett himself came up to me and said “hey Fly, you’re a really neat guy. Why don’t you buy some Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. [[GS]] ?” I’d tell Warren to go fuck himself and to quit interfering in another mans business.

Most of you readers out there are mechanics or bullshit attorneys. You have to understand, this is my field of expertise. There is nothing that I take more seriously, than zigging through your zags.

For example: I own a shit load of Treasuries now, via [[TLT]] . And, I have some exposure to a badly bruised ETN: [[VXX]] , which will SOAR, should the market decline.

Do you seriously think I need you to lecture me, a God amongst men, about the inflation scenario and how it pertains to U.S. debt, with respects to yield? Or, do you think (be honest now) that I need to be reminded of how fucked up [[VXX]] has performed, during this bull run—an era without volatility?

Your financial advice is not appreciated and is of great offense to me.

See folks, when visiting iBC, you need to walk on egg shells. One comment too sly and you’re fucking banned for life. One little derogatory remark about the good/honest people at Goldman Sachs— and you disappear off the face of this site. All traces gone. Poof!, as if you never even existed.

In summary, “The Fly” wins all the time, even when you think you are right. I siphon your winship!

It’s a low probability bet, fucking with Senor Tropicana. I highly recommend you to go fuckkkkk yourself, instead of messing around with a space alien magician carrying a blood stained clawhammer.

    My father-in-law spent the week with us…..couldn’t wait to show him my Keurig.
    At first he just stared at it for about two minutes. Then he went to work…after I told him those little jiffy cups are about .33 a shot. He started jimmy rigging that machine 6 ways to Sunday. He had various paper filters and ground coffee contraptions running thru that sucker. After about the 2nd day he was bragging pretty good about his yield. Good Stuff.

    Your TLT is a bad bet. I recommend laddered treasuries instead. Look it up, it’s a better strategy for treasuries. If you must own them. Also buy some more FTK. It has done so well for you.

    There is just something creepy about Buffet living in a home for that extended period of time. Perhaps he has excavated a massive hole, re-bared it, concreted it in and filled it with gold bars? That or it is some sort of self-sabotaging therapy issue. Even my grandparents from the Depression upgraded from the trailer to a house on stilt’s. Shit, at least he can upgrade the damn windows.

    With that said, his most famous words: Don’t buy when everyone else is buying.

    A lot of euphoria buzzing about. Also, some damn good plays. Playing the euphoria is good, getting stuck in a rip current… ummm…. not so good. So many people who were in cash are now loaded up. Thinking out loud. I am sure Jake will set me straight…. lol

    With that said, I have been mainlining the VXX on it’s 52 week lows and almost in green. That is sic in it’s self. It has almost become a Fazcrack…. Sweet obsession or absolute stupidity?

    We go higher, we go lower? Frankly, I could give a shit. I have upgraded my windows with bullet proof glass and concreted a burrow to store gold and the new Amero’s. That is all…..

    Investors opened the most accounts to trade Chinese stocks last week in three months as households shifted funds into equities to protect against faster inflation.

    See Chin balls, this is not an open forum where you get to shit on me, because you “feel like it.” Oh no.

    Before that happens, I get to send you to redirect pages or isolate your locale and have someone punch off your favorite mustache, while you are sipping on that faggy glass of chardonnay.

    Senor Tropicana-
    We’ve been struck by your new found maturity while holding vehicles of investment that hardly qualify.
    In the old days of impestuous youth, testosterone, and fueled by energy drinks, you would have given in on day three and succumed to the siren call of Performance.
    Yet, here you are, content and disciplined whilst underperforming…by choice.
    Quite like a dignified elder statesman.
    What you are losing in performance, you are gaining in respect.
    It is a time honored tradition of elderly investors…
    Underperform, with dignity and honour.

    While it’s true, I have missed out one some gains, remember, my cost on TLT is $89 and I’ve been long 30%+ the entire move, with zero shorts. My VXX position is brand spanking new.

    So, Gil, tell me, where am I underperforming?

    all y’all banging on the vxx trade are idiots. your first step is to start here:
    http://www.google.com/finance?chdnp=0&chdd=1&chds=1&chdv=1&chvs=maximized&chdeh=0&chdet=1268856000000&chddm=1955&chls=IntervalBasedLine&cmpto=NYSE:VXX&cmptdms=0&q=INDEXSP:.INX&ntsp=0

    after that, consider the portfolio weighting to vxx.

    now, how much has been lost so far? the past two days have been bad visually, but how much has really been lost? and as quickly as it turns down it goes up where the other holdings probably won’t move as fast.

    all this in mind, now resume your banging on the vxx trade while qualifying it in the above context.

    Hey Fly,

    Did you read Hugh Hendry’s letter on deflation a couple of months back? I just saw it. From the looks of it, his bet is that reflation fails and we continue going down the deflation sinkhole, and long-term treasury yields, with a boost from US savers, head down again. Long USD and short risk in general. I found his read on China fascinating, and I really like the way this guy thinks. I couldn’t download it, but it’s been floating around the blogs. I think it would put a smile on your face. Cheers.
