THE BLACK FLAG HAS RISEN OVER iBANKCOIN

As you can see, the ominous black flag has risen over iBankCoin, via new web design. Expect numerous upgrades in days and weeks to come, including the detonation and destruction of the Peanut Gallery Institute. I’ve had enough of you fuckers. It’s time for you to catch metal spikes to the brain. In replace of the PG, I will launch the iBankCoin blogger network, where you fuckers can blog with dignity and honor. I invite any and all to blog here, when we launch it, for it will offer you instant exposure to our 1 million plus monthly viewers, as opposed to the garbagio on your hidden blog.

Additionally, if you notice, the background changes often with this new design. I will use it to my advantage, indeud.

Any and all questions will be ignored, so don’t bother asking any. Just know and understand, the new site design is as black as my heart and I will no longer offer you safe quarter from the invincible nations of iBankCoin.

    I like the new black design as it’s easier on the eyes and focuses on the content/links rather than being distracted by all the white space. I’ll be able to speed read quicker.

    Appropriate Tracy Morgan quote to Tina Fey: “Bitch may be the new black, but black is the new president , bitch”

    Looks great….fantastic..but with over 12 years online marketing consulting/services – the load time is terrible, and will likely frustrate current readers and deter new ones.

    You’ve got about 4 seconds max to get the page loaded and the user engaged. This needs to be checked across all platforms in all browsers again n again n again until satisfied.

    go go go man …looks great….loads bad.

        Ditto – loads fast enough for me (with or without Javascript) on Firefox, even on this ancient dayjob PC.

        I dig the black, but I miss the fact that we can no longer see the past two or three posts per tabbed blogger: only the most recent post. I’ll now need one browser tab per tabbed blogger to stay up to date. (Then again, that’s not necessarily a bad thing if it’s hits you’re after…)

        Anwyays, looks good.

    Fuck I hate Buffet.

    “Bank of America shares are up to $8.65 in premarket trading, from $6.99 yesterday, on news that Warren Buffett is buying a $5 billion stake.

    Bank of America’s press release says:

    Bank of America Corporation announced today that it reached an agreement to sell 50,000 shares of Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock with a liquidation value of $100,000 per share to Berkshire Hathaway, Inc. in a private offering.The preferred stock has a dividend of 6 percent per annum, payable in equal quarterly installments, and is redeemable by the company at any time at a 5 percent premium.

    In conjunction with this agreement, Berkshire Hathaway will also receive warrants to purchase 700,000,000 shares of Bank of America common stock at an exercise price of $7.142857 per share. The warrants may be exercised in whole or in part at any time, and from time to time, during the 10-year period following the closing date of the transaction. The aggregate purchase price to be received by Bank of America for the preferred stock and warrants is $5 billion in cash.”

      He’s such a lying douchebag too. It was about 12 months ago he sold out of his holding in BAC. Now he thinks it’s a wondering company and becomes a 7% potential shareholder.

    Wow, do I hate Warren Buffett! I was nice and happy with my 2 day in and out profit on BofA. Now this jackass drives up the price the day after I sell so now instead of enjoying my success I have to see that I left big bucks on the table.

      You should have known B of A was going up with all the badmouthing of it the CNBC pundits did. Especially the guy who touted a “Bear put spread – by the 5’s and sell two 2 1/2. so if it drops to 2 1/2 you make a nice profit and if it goes to ZERO you break even”
