Thank you for your animated excellence and for sharing your black smoke dealing methods: ViXXilating my kilt-wearing balls and torso is a lot more fun than addressing the usual hedging suspects.
As for your episodes: each one better than the last, sir.
He does not have that much time on his hands. Fly is what he thinks and feels what he wants. Tho, I would of liked to see the dude blasted…. just for fun of course 🙂
Meh to your rap video. I went to high school with the son of the producer of the f’n Sugar Hill Gang (he did failed every year until he was socially promoted, since he liked it so much). I heard a lifetime’s worth of old school rap there. I couldn’t avoid hearing it, what with young fellows blasting it out of shoulder-mounted, suitcase-sized, boom boxes. Rap is a genre that had no appeal to me then and has had no appeal to me since.
Meh…..is right. There’s not a lot of talent involved in rap “music”. Most 6 year old peeps could duplicate the guitar riffs after a couple hours of practice. As for the drum work, let’s just say it reminds me of the old joke; “How do you know when your stage is level?…….Simple, The drool runs out of both sides of the drummers mouth”.
Real music, real guitar work can be found across all genre’s of music from the likes of Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed and others to rock icons like Mark Knopfler, Jimmy Page, Randy Rhoads, Clapton, Hendrix, Tony Iommi, James Hetfield etc.
That rap crap is more about who is lookin’ baddest and talkin’ trashiest than shredding an axe. Spend an hour on you tube with some headphones and search some of the names above.
I’m no rap fan, but I think the post was timely for its lyric. Highlights include:
Lock shit DOWN!
Yeah, of all secrets I’m the best kept
Making sure my first step is my best step
I watched my investments while the rest slept
And changed tools like the faders on the ves tecs
If you think that I’m insane, I’m a plain citizen
People call me by my name, I remain disciplined
Hey, a wicked sentence in a vicious blend
Has more wealth than the wallets of the richest men
It’s interesting, pay attention to what you witnessing
The love of the art form, not just a dividend
Treat it like it’s out of pocket – lock shit DOWN!
I’m partially deaf so following those lyrics from the Vid are tough. Now that you write them out I can see your point. ………..”watched my investment while the rest slept”.
And yah, for me it’s all about the music. I’ve been playing guitar since I was a kid and I know how hard it is to do what some of the masters of the craft do.
There’s definitely more musicianship involved in other genres of music. Rap didn’t get much mainstream exposure until it started borrowing (i.e., “sampling”) from other genres. Even today, the “talent” in rap, such as it is, lies with the producers who do the sampling and other nonsense. Rappers mainly sell an image, and a typically ludicrous one at that.
Rap is such crap that absent the image crafting and production, even its own fans don’t like it. Two examples of this come to mind. The first is anytime some anonymous amateur tries to rap on Showtime at the Apollo. He always gets booed off the stage. Who wants to seem some broke brother chant angry rhymes on stage? The second example is when the local hip hop radio station puts on a concert with rap acts. They often get booed too, because it doesn’t sound good live.
I wouldn’t put down drummers though. Great ones rock. Next time The Cult is in town (a fucking great, under-appreciated rock band) check out their current drummer, John Tempesta. That guy is fierce and precise. I shook his hand after their show in NJ last fall and told him he kicked ass.
Cast a seventh level poision gas cloud next time, sure to get any annoying clam fuckers un rhe room and still give you room for breathing. And listening to fuckin jungle music?
You were a product of the 90’s right?
Were not the grunge bands more influntial(sp?) back then?
I’ll pass on the jungle music, but enjoy the beat downs!
Rock on!!
Whatever is good and perfect comes from god above, who created all heaven’s lights. Unlike them, he never changes or cast shifting shadows. In his goodness he chose to make us his own. In his goodness he chose to make us his own children by giving us his true word. And we, out of all creation, became his choice possession.
…and knowing we are His “choice possession”, we shittith on all lesser things and seek to make them our possessions; and if another of God’s CHOICE possessions tries to keep me from getting my choice possessions, I will smite them in His name.
Moody’s came out with a downgrade on their debt on Thursday evening and I think with all this worry about a debt crisis in Europe, anything w. leverage troubles was taken out back and shot.
That’s kinda what i was wondering. Traditionally this has been a solid and profitable company selling commodities that will never cease to be in demand. The price for their basic raw material (milk) continues to be fairly cheap so I was wondering if they took a one time charge or something
Dani, yes I have 2 jobs now. One working with a custom oil manufacturing company of service equipment, and the other with a tobacco company. The second allows me to journey to louisiana on the weekends and make extra folding money. Good to see you again!
Gotta wonder if those people are for real……I mean if they actually take what they are saying seriously…………..Let’s just say I hope they never reproduce. It would be a shame to have minds like that lose in the gene pool. :0
I’ve been pretty happy overall with Thinkorswim. Even during the flash crash I was able to get orders placed with no issues. I have a separate account with another bullsh!t online broker (sounds like SpotRaid) and they were slowed down a lot during the fire sale. But to be honest overall I have not had many problems with them either. I would not recommend S/T for a very active daytrading account though.
I can;t speak to what you should invest in (funds vs stocks).
But if you want a broker, I’d recommend a bullshit Etrade accout. I’ve used Power Etrade Pro, Think or Swim, and TD Ameritrade’s old platfom.
I’m in the process of leaving TOS/AMTD and going back to Etrade. I’ve been getting very poor order fulfillment with TOS/AMTD. Also, Etrade lets you sell specific lots, which I like.
When I was humping BOOM hard in ’06-’07, I’d use that feature so much.
Basically, start a core position at a swing low and add on dips. I’d flip out of the later lots, but still hold my core position. I really accelerated my gains, without having the tax burden of the big position’s gains.
I’m in cashish, waiting for the funds transfer initiated Friday.
I have also used Power EtradePro and have used Etrade for several years after they bought out my former broker (Brown & Co.) several years ago. They have kept my commissions several dollars per trade below the published rate and I get a rebate monthly depending on the volume. Executions are very good and Gaineskeeper is free for tax calculations (may have to be an active trader-not sure).
Every once in awhile I don’t like the execution and they have always gone back, found out the reason, and given me the execution I should have received. One time in a fast market they adjusted my Q’s trade by about .25.
If you are really active check out Lightspeed. Cheap volume rates.
Mr. Hamburgalar is hardly deceased. The laser weapon merely caused him to soil his track pants, egregiously wounding his pride. He is freshening up and will soon re-dispatch – with a weapon of his own. Good day.
Today we must give a moment of silence for the passing of a black sabbath member. In houston after battling cancer, Ronnie James Dio passed away, on saturday.
He will be missed.
I sold out of JAH today. Other than that, my positions remain intact.
PPT reading?
Indeud, where is my fucking coffee?
wouldn’t you like to know, leech.
I have a good idea … maggot
but I digress …
Hey, that’s my moniker. I resent you giving it away so carelessly.
ROFL! Nice work on video.
Back to the beach..
RC, tanning lotion included or white sands?
Rajun… I just emailed you…. you are in my stomping grounds….. read the email……
Haha.
Keep in mind, the death was all off camera… in order to be able to bring him back in future episodes… “Dallas”-style.
_______
Or Kenny.
Mr. Le Fly…..good stuff!!!
I love the ongoing saga of Le Flea cartoonz, starring non other than Monsieur Samsonite Hamburgalar & Le Flea, his bad(ass) self! 😛 😛 😛
Hey RC,
How is the beach dude? I don’t think the oil spill made it yet to Florida.. This video is hilarious..
BEST CARTOONS EVER.
“It was all a dream.”
Clam fuckers headed to the beach…

Listen, the cartoons are stupid. Don’t take it personally but…you’re better than this.
They said the same thing to Walt Disney after Steamboat Willie.
Who’s cryogenically frozen now?
Thank you for your animated excellence and for sharing your black smoke dealing methods: ViXXilating my kilt-wearing balls and torso is a lot more fun than addressing the usual hedging suspects.

Each one…
Better…
Than the last…………………….
bad cartoon but, even a genius can’t do everything
Actually, i am not better than this. This is as far as my cartoon magic goes. Perhaps you should skip these posts for a little spongebob.
Fuck man! You’ve got way too much time on your hands!
That’s what I call success – the ability to do what you want, when you want.
He does not have that much time on his hands. Fly is what he thinks and feels what he wants. Tho, I would of liked to see the dude blasted…. just for fun of course 🙂
No ….he’s just the blogfather……+ fucker doesn’t sleep
Took a bite of fcx at 68 and some change today. Been awaiting

To put it another way…..
Rap is like me trading stocks. Chet Atkins picking a guitar is like Fly calling the shots.
The skill level is orders of magnitude higher……..just sayin………

Found a vid of the fly and his friends dancing…

Hey Rand,
Are you working now? I have been away for a bit…..
Not your best effort, senor.

In his goodness he chose to make us his own children by giving us his true word. And we, out of all creation, became his choice possession.
Mumbo Jumbo,

Lol @ you fucking movie critics
Question of the day. So what the hiel is up with Dean Foods?
Moody’s came out with a downgrade on their debt on Thursday evening and I think with all this worry about a debt crisis in Europe, anything w. leverage troubles was taken out back and shot.
Could be an opp in a couple of days, imho.

RAp music is meant for comedy only.
As for my fucking cartoon: this is the best one yet, better than woody woodpecker
Best one for sure….a lot of Hollywood nuance…cracking up with them standing up all the time …. like bill collectors….
Here is the best ….I was properly buzzed when I viewed this ….watched it twice and tried to answer my phone both times in the middle….LMAO
Woody Woodpecker is not the comparison. The genius comparison is Bugs and his great producer Jones.

Best one yet! Fucking hilarious
Dani, yes I have 2 jobs now. One working with a custom oil manufacturing company of service equipment, and the other with a tobacco company. The second allows me to journey to louisiana on the weekends and make extra folding money. Good to see you again!

By the way, I hope Mr. Hamburgalar isn’t really dead. Because he did accurately warn us of the impending stock exchange shit storm.
The only thing that is really amazing me is that it is taking so long for Devil Dog.
Interesting Goldman’s currency forecast I picked up on the sidebar here. Their May currency forecast for the Euro is 1.35.
Worth reading.

Opinions Please Anyone!
Should I decide to stop trading mutual funds and set myself up with an online broker, which broker would you choose for a 6 figure account?
Would appreciate suggestions and a rationale.
Thanks.
Get out completely and wait till october.
Even better, get out and never get back in again.

RC says the iPad app on Etrade is cool too.
Etrade lets you sell specific lots
Wow, that is good to know. Might be worth switching over just for this flexibility.
When I was humping BOOM hard in ’06-’07, I’d use that feature so much.

If you are really active check out Lightspeed. Cheap volume rates.
You better have a good tax accountant who knows about FIFO and wash sale rules.
both you and your accountant should understand FIFO and wash sale rules
– unless your accountant has a time machine to change your trades
Etrade has been good to me. The have some nice investing tools.
Thanks everyone!
It looks like e-trade may be the way for me to go.
