Going Higher

I just got back from the worst haircut experience of my life, where this stupid bitch cut into my head as if I was a block of ham. I refrained, exhibiting great discipline, from making a scene, due to the presence of my children. Plus anyway, gentlemen do not bring negative attention to themselves, especially amongst the working class. She dug here comb into my scalp with great force and then cut my hair in such a way, one would surmise she was an escaped lunatic from my local asylum. Tonight I will pray for her quick extinction from this planet, vis a vis car bomb or some other form of egregious and untimely death. Trust me when I tell you, she is well deserving of execution.

As you could imagine, my mood has soured a great deal since my last post, so I will keep this simple and to the point.

AAPL and IBM beat numbers. The locomotive of “better than expected” is rolling downhill now, cutting off the arms and legs of those who get in its way. Dare I say, and I mean this with all of my black heart, this is the easiest tape to trade I have ever seen. Skip over the hard earnings plays, like CREE, and you have a printing press at your disposal.

I just framed my year end statement, highlighting my 875% (I started off the year with a little more than I originally thought. Hence, no 1,000%) return for last year. So you know, that was accomplished using only the algorithms and tools inside of The PPT, for personal use only. My clients endured the horrors of 60% gains, much to their delight. Thus far in 2011, my personal account is up just 2%, while managed accounts are up north of 3%. I am going with a blend of large cap industrials, tech and commodities. However, truth be told, my ideas change on a daily basis.

As time goes on, I realize I am wasting my talents by managing less than others, and jerking around on the internet, like a clown, for the amusement of others. I will never sell iBankCoin, mainly because it is mine and I do not need the money. So, essentially, I am imprisoned here, for an undetermined amount of time. Truth be told, all kidding aside, it is my passion to help others invest their money wisely. Within the next 6-9 month, we will be releasing PPT 2.0 (finally) with numerous additions that should bring it to the next level, in so many ways. And, if motivated, I would love to add another blogger to the mix, one who isn’t looking for handouts or get rich quick schemes. Remember, unlike other degenerate/disgusting blogs out there, authored by hucksters, we are gentlemen of the 3rd degree here at iBC. Never forget that.

    Any comments on bank releases this week? Are earnings filtered in? Any other earning stars rising in the 13th zodiac of the 21st century? I’d throw my hat in the blog ring, but for similar reasons that I’ve never settled down with any one woman, I’m not terribly faithful.

    Maybe you should find a new blogger with a very friendly, yet sarcastic uplifting positive attitude… I’ll keep my eyes peeled for such an indiviual.

    I didn’t even know the tabbed bloggers got paid!

    Sorry about the bad haircut… I’ve gone as far as canceling all face to face contact with any non related human beings until it grew back.

      I got my haircut today as well. As I have had the same stylist for over 7 years, and tip her well every time, it was a well-deserved 45 minutes of pure relaxation. Perhaps you should leave the kiddos at home next time.

            You’re most certainly correct TPD. Many aged children are crass to distinguish box seats from the “peanut gallary.” It’s much like opening a history book intended for an en masse chorus, while the contributing authors and editors, like conductors and ushers, re-author history. Leadership, class and setting example, as always, involves an immutable character trait the hoi polloi, by definition, can never begin to appreciate.

    Good sir, a gentlemen of your distinction do not visit the ‘hair dresser’. Gentlemen of distinction visit their favorite [BOLD/ITALICS] barber [BOLD/ITALICS]. Women and small children visit the ‘hair dresser.

        That’s like the old birthday trope… if you get some 10 people in a room, their having a birthday on the same day (one pair) is not that much of a stretch.

        If you figure everyone gets their hair cut around once a month, and given how many of us attend this blog (I got my hair cut last Wednesday), it’s not that huge of a coincidence.

        Fly and I share a birthday, btw.

    I got my haircut today too. On a 3 week schedule.

    My hairstylist has a great ass, nice perky teats, blond hair and full pouty lips to boot. Dare I say, she could give me a pineapple top hairstyle and I’d smile and just say ‘thank you’.

    ….and I’d never bring my kids with me to get my haircut.

    Just sayimg….

  18. Haircut from hell

    Several year ago I had one of those haircuts, which I still remember quite clearly. It seems that intense pain is memorable. My haircutter was trimming the back of my neck with an electric razor with such force that I thought ‘I’ve got to be bleeding’. I was a fraction of a second from telling her to stop. Just then, she eased up. As is my style, I did not let on that there was the slightest discomfort. But she may have gotten some satisfaction since my tip reflected her kind service.

    I figured she was mad at men that day and was taking it out on me. Not my fault or my f’in problem. Go home and kick your dog or something; don’t take it out on me.

    Why do you even go out for a hair cut? Seriously, at this point is it treuly (sic) to entertain your brood or rather that you don’t have anyone you trust to trim your egregious hairs daily? Living in the Hampton’s should afford you the ability to have a daily trimming. Is it that you have yet to treuly (sic) achieve, yet you delight in making other’s think that you have? You, after all your egregious acclaims, think that we, your readers, will believe that you go OUT for a cut of your hairs? Please do not make this mistake again. From now on, I expect THE FLY to have on staff, a personal hygiene assistant.

      Wow, that is some seriously creepy shit.

      Hard to tell if this is just retarded liberal organizations doing a blanket “carbon-free North America” dance, or if there are serious economic interests (read Soros, etc.) that are trying to block inexpensive petroleum delivery to the U.S.

      You know what the cynic in me says…. (gas at $3.13 a gallon at my local this morning).

    I’d like to see a humourous blogger who is an expert on the fundamentals of a given sector. An oil and gas / energy sector blogger would be most useful to me. But I would only check in if they lambaste me with hilarious cultural references, incisive commentary, and some other unusual quirk. Good help is so hard to find! Are you still out there Guppyworldwide?

    Fly, go with an Asian dude to cut hair. They ask what ya want, and do the best to please, never met one that was, well, you know, light in the loafers. They do good work. You can lodge a complaint with the beauticians state licensing board.
    Well, have a good day today, I’ll be workin late again, yahoo!
