I plan on doing some of that, and I can forsee that leading to a bit of a dip…

Fly, have a great and prosperous new year.
Oh, and thanks for all the money!
Happy New Year everyone.

Happy New Year to all.
Try not to damage your brains too much with undisciplined, excessive drinking this weekend.
Happy New Year!
Catch me on twitter ibc’ers @the_real_fly
Fuck, what if we don’t have twitter?
Alphadawg, there has never been any scientific proof that alcohol damages brain cells. And if so, the implied brain damage was reversible or not. I do for a fact know that the old french remedy of eating lots of French Onion Soup is a great anti hangover remedy..if drank at midnight the night before the upcoming hangover, that is.
Drink lots of wine peoples! Wine is the antiagic.
chanci! hey- got to catch up with you. lots of news. please start up a twitter account and then just do a request to follow me
on there (LindsayRL) once i see the request on there and accept we can Direct message eachother and get caught up. so glad you showed up tonight. you are still missed in PPT land!
Have a great new years eve and day! lindsay
Lindsay, I cannot do twitter. I’m serious, I don’t even have a computer at home anymore. When my daughter is with me, I look at her computer, otherwise I ride my bike to the library.
No shit! I bought an old vintage Bugatt (sp) bike from the seventies and I ride it around the beach.
My POS husband took off with another women and left me stranded here right after we first got here. Bu,t I guess it’s a really great place to be stranded, no?
Anyway, I am so happy that you always take the time to say hi to me. You are a really nice person.
I can’t get on the ppt because it messes me up. I’m still not strong enough in my convictions to be able to tune out the noise. I know it is great for ideas, but I can’t do it.
You’re the best Lindsay, that’s all I have to say about you.
Stranded where? With a beach and a bike … not so bad.
South West Florida. Way better than Minnesota, or Maryland, or the other M states, no doubt. Not even going to get started on the I states, but yes, it is a very, very good place to be stranded. for instance today it was in the 70’s, overcast and kind of rainy but still a glorious day, and the beach was packed. LOL
I’m trying to think of what the other M states are, and I guess that would be Mississippi, Massachusetts and Maine, and Michigan.
I don’t know, Maine might not be so bad. An adventure, anyway. Mississippi would probably be a trip. I do know they have good chicken and biscuits at most of the gas stations. Haha no kidding.
Montana
Been to Mississippi a number of times.
Look for the Mom and Pop places where the cops are eating lunch.
Love the all you can eat catfish and fried pickles.
Oh man, I haven’t tried fried pickles yet, but we stopped at this gas station in Mississippi on our way to New Orlean,s and I had a biscuit with breaded fried pork chop on it, and a mug of sweet tea and it was like the best thing I ever ate in my life.
I gave up fried foods and sugar a long time ago, but we were starving and oh my god, it was the best!
Of course brain cells are going to die. But only the weak ones.
Chanci, long time no see in PPT. Where ya been?
Opened up the night with a pound-and-a-half porterhouse and (hat tip to PPT/12631) earned enough to justify cracking open my last bottle of 2005 Ridge Monte Bello.
Om nom nom, and a happy new year! Anyways, let the record show that I’m doing my part.
Everyone’s so happy on New Years Eve! I think every night should be New Years Eve. How about if we just call every night new days eve, it is after all.
I can’t do the PPT. I think it is great, but not for me. Although I could still freaken’ kick my own ass for not following a couple of Alphadawgs rec’s in there. I did follow a couple of Gio’s and made some kick ass dough, though! 🙂
happy new year fly
you changed my life, and for that i am thankful
best to you and your family.
thanks for teaching me to be a asshole.
Good to see everything went well in Times Square.
I’m not from the place, but I admire New Yorkers, they get the job done.
That stuff about “if you see something that doesn’t look right, tell someone” really works. People power.
Best to all in 2011

Why the fuck would anybody want to be on Twitter? You guys ever hear of EMAILING,
where you can use enough words to convey substance, and send to groups whose members
are known to you (instead of corresponding gutterally with some moronic fairy DORK)?
Because it’s the narcissist’s dream of one-way communication.
I think that is correct, tm
Old people are such a drain on society. Twitter, its much bigger than you, get over it.
Perhaps you, like me, also use telegrams. I find them to be very convenient.
Yes, I’m glad we turned down the patents for the telephone. Why would we ever consider using Twitter, when our telegraph system comunicates so well…-.–..-…-.
happy new year
Happy New Year to Fly and All. Great to hear something of your background, Fly. Looking forward to the next installment. I’ll bet 2011 is going to be a good one!
I pass on some population info. Take it or leave it.
=======================================================================+
The Catastrophe takes its unimpeded course!
On New Year’s Day 2011, we received from the Plejaren (Ptaah and Quetzal) the actual population number by December 31, 2010 (midnight): 8’102’716’701 human beings!
When compared with the 7’684’489’285 human beings on December 11, 2007, this means an increase of 375’325 human beings per day, respectively 4.34 human beings per second!
When compared with the 7’503’846’002 human beings on December 31, 2005 (midnight), there results an increase of 328’148 human beings per day, respectively 3.8 human beings per second.
This means that the increase rate has accelerated!
Human insanity, and the height of irresponsibility! – Especially in light of the fact that the terrestrial bureaus of census and demography statistics are estimating the number of the actual human population on Earth more than one billion/milliard too low!
And what is done against this catastrophe by those in charge, the responsible persons in governments and the heads of religions and sects? NOTHING AT ALL!!!
==============================================================
Maybe instead of bitching about the Earth’s Population your alien overlords could get to work helping us with practical fusion technology?
so we could meet the energy needs of a population breeding like rats, so we can continue breeding like rats?
overpopulation is creating imbalances on this planet . .. If we humans don’t remedy the situation, mother nature will handle it.
Can’t we just eat the fat people and make tents out of their underwear?
That’s why we need the aliens help us implement fusion technology. Clean, abundant energy would fix most of our problems.
Or perhaps you and the aliens just hate humans in general…..
The aliens you are referring to are human beings …. who are thousands or tens of thousands of years ahead of us in spiritual/technological evolution/development/progress.
A mere 100 years ago, the Wright Brother were able to get man off the ground. 60 years later we were on the moon. Fast forward 1000 years. We’ll be traveling through time & space, settling earth humans on planets in other star systems, co-mingling and breeding with possibly more primitive humans, earlier in their evolution than us. If we are dickhead space travelers, we will set ourselves up as Gods in our beam ships from the heavens, choosing reps for delivering our laws & commandments, aka religion. If the locals disobey, we can smite them or nuke them as in Sodom & Gomorrah. Sound familiar?
So these aliens, who are actually humans, spend their time counting us and freaking out over how many of us there are, when in reality they could just nuke us as they have done in the past?
They are hardly freaking out or spending time counting us. They have technology that can do it in a flash. They are here to make up for the sins of their ancestors who wreaked havoc on earthlings that is felt to this day.
“Let the day break within you (start the search for the truth) so that you may escape from the rest (semi-consciousness) of the night (unknowledgenesss of the truth) and the weak light (searching) of the moon (semiconsciousness), in order to show your deference to the sun (wisdom) so that you may make your studies of the teaching and take the necessary time for this.”
Absolutely ridiculous. I predict we have 1000 years of virtually no technological advancement commencing very soon. When you have an economy based on oil, and the cost for oil is going to the stratosphere and beyond, there will be no money to spend on innovation.
The cost for commodities are now permanently much higher than they have been in the past, and their prices are going to continue to rise sharply in 2011-2012.
The interesting thing to me is that I don’t see a crash like we had in 2008. Prices will simply soar to no end.
Wrong. Necessity is the mother of invention. As to intermediate steps, ever hear of Natural gas fueled cars? Natural gas to liquids technology? Solar orbital power arrays and yes… Fusion power…?
As to commodity prices, a major factor there is currency silliness AKA Helicopter Ben and his Central Bank owning overlords.

(That reminds me, where’s that guy who was bragging about all $800k houses going up in “his“ neighborhood? – 6 months ago?) Probably ready to jingle-mail his keys in any day.
2011 is the year that the 4 horseman make their appearance. Once they do, even Joey head-o-air will get that our leader, the Bernank, is a clueless buffoon who never had a plan and has been leading US down the road to ruin.
1) Market Ag prices come home to roost. Trickle down works for the 1st time. High agricultural price increases ttrickle down to your local supermarket. Food stamp riots break out. The choice of food makers is: pass thru higher costs or die. An AED goes off
2) Gas prices eclipse $4.50/gal. GM and Harley Davidson are deemed “too big to fail” and are backstopped. (Ooops, that was from last year’s rear view mirror predictions) Gas protests proliferate.
3) Silver spikes to $50; gold follows to $1,750; gold / silver ratio hits 35. Even Joey-bag-o-coins figures somethin ain’t right.
Multiple AED’s* go off.
4) Katla, another Icelandic volcano erupts, ending summer, all airline flights and plunging northern Europe into Dark Ages II.
As a side note, shortly after moving the iBC servers south in August, a most unfortunate freak accident occurs. C. W. Billie-Bob (a.k.a. Dubya), Vincenzo’s remote, down-south technician accidentally fuels one of iBC’s olive-oil-powered servers with moonshine instead of the extra virgin olive oil they have grown accustomed to. The server catches fire and Dubya tries to put it out by throwing a nearby spittoon of chewin tabacca [sic] juice on it, causing the server to explode (in disgust). A flying piece of debris from the explosion knocks one of Fly’s teeth out. Stunned, the Fly immediately picks up a nearby banjo and begins playing like a madman. A few hours later the tooth is re-implanted and The Fly promptly renounces banjo-ing for good and breaks said banjo over Dubya‘s head. Meanwhile, the iBC website never missed a beat as the double-redundant backup system hums along, transparent to the L-users.

QE II morphs seamlessly into QE III as California, Illinois & NY state, along with numerous municipalities are declared “too well connected to fail” and are backstopped by Chairman Clamburgler.
An unexpected currency crisis cascades around the globe spiking the dollar as the best of the worst, one last time.
China’s real estate bubble pops. I have no idea what the consequences for US will be.
Hopefully, none of the above will happen
(until 2012)
*AED’s – Armageddon Economic Devices – unreliable, low-cost, but high-powered economic devices that produce returns of 300% to 1,500% if and when they go off.
I like all of your points except the China real estate bubble having a proper pop. That will be pushed even further into the future imo. And your dollar estimate may play out, but I think that there are other, less volatile currencies still out there. Canada’s for example, will strongly outperform the US one, unless Canada announces a dangerously foolish spending scheme as the IMF is nakedly pushing for.
Epic youtube video!!!
And “Chairman Clamburgler”! That’s a great handle that I hope sticks! Though clearly a well-morphed one which would take some explanation for Joey head-o-air to understand.
I wouldn’t be at all surprised if you are right and I am completely wrong. I agree commodity producing countries are better places to invest.
Predicting the direction of what will probably happen seems much easier than predicting the timing. And many times the timing is critical to making money.
Making those predicions was a good exercise for demonstrating how little I really know. Even being wrong is not so easy. Right or wrong, it’s a worthwhile exercise.
Fly said blogging holds his feet to the fire. < A good point.
