This is NOT as Easy as it Looks

I know some of you are doing well, others not so much. When I was starting out, I’d hate guys like “The Fly” who always seemed to have an edge, a fucking unicorn with horseshoes up his ass. What you are witnessing here, day in and day out, is over 15 years of market experience, real hard effort handed down by the market Gods, translated into market mastery. I never fucked around with time and I never ever waste it. There are somethings you can learn, other things you need to experience for yourself. There is nothing like being baptized with fire to help you understand that shit is hot.

iBankCoin attracts a  younger demographic,  partly due to my policy to ban anyone older than 47.5, and also due to my unique style and choice selection of vocabulary. With youth comes arrogance and outright ignorance. Let it be known, if you are under 25 years old, you literally know nothing. You might be brilliant; but you haven’t lived. Believe it or not, I am not trying to besmirch you fucking children, but teach you what you need to be taught.

Do not let this market discourage you. People will approach you and say “hey, fuck that stock market shit. It’s for cock-goblins. Get yourself a real job.” Immediately, you should punch that person in his fucking face. Don’t let anyone get away with that sort of jargon, especially when there are space alien magicians offering magic for free on the internets.

Speaking of which, I am now +80% overnight on my TNA calls. I am not selling until The PPT registers OVERBOUGHT. In case you didn’t know, yes, it was OVERSOLD yesterday and TNA was OVERSOLD, for the first time in awhile.

Over the years, I’ve lost so much money, in so many oddball scenarios, you’d be amazed. Rarely do I get upset over lost coin. Unlike Mrs. Fly, who strokes the fuck out at the sight of a $1k loss, but has no issues spending $1k on bullshit shoes, I flick my cigar ashes at them. If you want to become a pro in this business, you need to control your fucking emotions. The most important aspect of investing is knowing your talent. If you know you suck balls, avoid going all in, since you’re a fucking idiot moron and will lose it all in one trade. Make small trades.  And if you are from down south, quit drinking moonshine at the desk you fucking hillbillies.

“The Fly” has shit to do now and doesn’t have time to play games with your kind on the internets. His stocks are sprinting the fuck higher and his allocation is now 70% long. Year to date gains are stretching today, now at new highs of +18%

            The Matrix isn’t bad at all once you learn how to swim through bullets without sweating through all that black leather.

            Keanu Reeves can be a bit too friendly, tho, if you catch my meaning.

            I hate it when they re-attache the battery electrodes, though.

            Especially when they are low on magic gel.

            am I the only one who realize the matrix is real as a metaphor. (not as the real thing)?
            The “system” that people will protect as long as they are “plugged in” the “anyone can become an “agent” to bring about “their” agenda at any given time unless they are completely detatched from the matrix? People get into arguments not realizing that their paradigm is completely based on an illusion.

        I think it’s more like an asymptotic curve.

        The closer one gets to 47.5, the nearer to perfection.

        (Then, at 47.5 + one day, the men in black trenchcoats come with lead saps and bludgeon you to death.)

        Now that I am 25, I finally realize how little I know, and in that realization is where the room for growth exists. Sort of like when the man stares into the abyss and finds his character which prevents him from falling into the abyss. I have recognized that I in fact do not know everything or as much as I think I do, and in that knowledge of my own ignorance lies the desire to seek out greater knowledge.

    Fly, I am also 35, but don’t have half as much money in the markets as you do. Clearly, this is the prior administration’s fault, and you can expect the feds at your door shortly to raid your shit and divy it up so I can make more trades! All BS aside, to you and all who contribute to the IBC, fantastic work on the site gentlemen, well done.

      A lot of companies that are big enough to get on Fly’s PPT list and are based on the TSX also have an American listing. For example, Endeavor Silver EXK is also EDN. Sometimes I note wild moves and play the arbitrage as the Canadian side is more sluggish to macroeconic events.

        Don’t you get dinged on exchange? Or do you hold dual currency accounts ? I’ve done a few this year with EDR, WNR, etc. but end up with soggy peas instead of juicy steak by the time the MAN takes his cut after I’ve taken all the fucking risk.

    So … let’s recap shall we ?

    Since all of you Jackals are so obsessed with my “failure” … let me try to explain the way things work !

    I am ALMOST ALWAYS BOTH … LONG & SHORT !!!

    As I AM today !!!

    I trade with a “bias” … BUT … I am ALMOST ALWAYS BOTH … LONG & SHORT !!!

    You idiots with me so far ?

    I am Currently :

    ~ 38% SHORT (via TYP)
    ~ 11% LONG (via FAS)
    ~ 51% CASH

    I am UP +6.5% on my FAS position !

    I am DOWN -4.5% on my TYP position !

    By virtue of the fact that my SHORT is larger than my LONG … I am (as I type this) …

    DOWN LESS THAN 2% NET NET !!!

    I will most likely be gittin’ SHORTER into the CLOSE !!! fwiw

    Watch and learn Jackals … watch and learn !!!

        What the Senator said. I’d add, if you choose to ever get married (assuming male), you rent-a-lawyer for 2 or 4 hours (yes, pay $ 500), give it 2-weeks before the actual wedding, get signature on a prenuptial.

        When she balks or cringes, say thus: “This means freedom from financial stress, it’s total honesty (baby, or whatev.’s).

        Never forget what I just said!

      The expert wakes up every morning with a lot of knowledge as a beginner never assuming mastery, the novice wakes up with a little knowledge assuming mastery, never having learned enough to do anything but make mistakes.

      And when the man with experience and the man with money meet, the man with experience ends up with the money and the man with the money ends up with experience.

    What the dissembling motherfucker DOESN’T tell you, and what Cocklapper Bartiromo won’t
    pry out of him like I would, is that his “taxable income” is 10 cents on the dollar for his hedge fund bullshit – if he makes TEN billion, only ONE billion goes into his taxable income.

      OEW Recap:

      “Short term momentum went from extremely oversold at yesterday’s SPX 1140 low to extremely overbought at today’s close.”

      “Thus far, from the August 22nd SPX 1121 low, we have an abA rally to 1231 (1191-1136-1231), a B wave decline to yesterday’s 1140 low, and now it looks like the ‘a’ of the abC we have been expecting. If this rally is symmetrical with the first, the ‘a’ wave could top out around SPX 1210. Then a sharp pullback [Obama speech Thursday night???] would follow for wave ‘b’ before the market makes a high over SPX 1231 [for ‘C’]. Short term OEW charts turned positive. Short term resistance is around 1204-1210, the 1222 pivot and 1231 after that. Short term support would be at the 1187 and 1168 pivot ranges.”

      Once this ABC corrective wave completes above 1231 look for the next leg down ….
