I’m sick of blogging about financial matters. The process is repetitive: I blog about wins, you talk shit. Or, you talk shit, I ban you. When I blog about losses, I fucking feel like punching the shit out of my laptop.Actually, it makes me want to take out my Rambo knife and stab it over and over and over again, until I exhaust. This process that I put myself through is woefully unhealthy. I need a distraction, something to unload on, like targeting mentally ill people from the Tea Party.
With stocks, all I have to poke fun at are the garbage pale scrubbers at CNBC. Maybe I will start targeting fellow bloggers with scathing, unsolicited, reviews of their shit journals.
Look at the republican party candidates: all pleasantly retarded (no offense to 12 yr old retarded girls due to Gardisil), sans Mitt, yet I find myself fascinated with their debates. You have the chicken man, Cocaine, talking 999, while Bachman gets crazy as shit on the teevee over OBAMACARE. Perry is executing people daily and Santorum exemplifies moronism on an industrial scale. Ron Paul, clearly, is a KGP operative, most acutely interested in destroying America with populist plans that make no sense, whatsoever. And, that Huntsman guy is just interested in fucking up the prospects of other candidates, obviously for sport. GOP politics is worth watching!
As an aside, I find it interesting that some of you still bother offering “The Fly” financial advice. I mean, how many ways must I tell you to fuck yourselves spinning sideways on a telephone pole, before you get the message?!? This blog lacks discipline.
If you think this blog was written to bait Senator Gint into defending Tea Party principles, while insulting anyone who dares to oppose his ideology, you’re wrong. “The Fly” is only interested in exchanging top hats on the internets with strangers, while sipping on aged cognac. I’d never, ever, ever bait the Senator into insulting your intelligence and making accusations regarding your obvious interest and membership in the Russian-American communist party.

Here’ is the actual quote… from Bloom’s translation, fwiw:
“Hence, necessity and a penalty must be there in addition for them, if they are going to be willing to rule – it is likely that this is the source of its being held to be shameful to seek to rule and not to await necessity – and the greatest of penalties is being ruled by a worse man if one is not willing to rule oneself.”

i studied greek politics and am aware of the quote. However i would have sounded like a fag, like you, saying: “Hence, necessity and a penalty must be there in addition for them, if they are going to be willing to rule – it is likely that this is the source of its being held to be shameful to seek to rule and not to await necessity – and the greatest of penalties is being ruled by a worse man if one is not willing to rule oneself.”
HENCE my quote… Side note. I don’t give a flying fuck about thumbs ups.

Fly,
Wanted to get your take on this. I was looking at 15 year SPX and TNX charts and noticed that this recent panic move in rates has always marked or been close to a bear market bottom. If we slide into recession and your 800ish SPX target becomes the reality, where does that put the 10 year? Can rates really fall much from here?
My Dear Fly,

You could start the iBC fight club. The Fly could sit on a throne while throwing hot slices of pizza at the piker commentators while they duel to their death.
I’d be willing to face Razor in round one.
Might be entertaining. Potential lineup could be:
Trading Nymph vs The Wife
The Senator vs Purdy (if he’s still around)
And of course Alf vs Quint
I also suggest Trader Caddy vs Ruggyup in the over 47.5 division.
Rule Number One, Don’t talk about Fight Club.
I am game.
Right after my hip replacement surgery.
Go fuck thine own self.
I didn’t even know Ruggy was over 47.5 until he plastered it onto his moniker line.
Brazen, he is!

There was a crazy guy who sounded just like Ron Paul here:

He talked about how ridiculous it is we let the government assault old women and how the unecessary wars have bankrupted the treasury and how the government has run all sorts of stupid policies.
He must be KGB too.
Ron Paul is the stopped clock that is right twice a day. You picked the 2 topics that he is right on, and Fly happens to agree with him on those.

We are stuck in no mans land. On one hand the market feels lower.
On the other the contrarian play is to be long. Put calls are through the roof.
Ant then there is the weird. Why is crude oil going straight up?
yeah why the F is crude going straight up. worst hedge ever…it should be collapsing. If we are on the verge or in a recession, how is crude at $90? I mean, either the economy is actually strong, or crude will permanently cap economic growth.
Looks like the latter of the two.
Or the economy is weak but crude oil traders are being set up for a whoosh downward soon.
Crude is going straight up because the guy’s in the pit don’t like being included in Mr. Cain Thaler’s Obnoxious Star Wars, Part 6 Metapors.
So they are bending him over “Bubba-in-H-Block-Style.”
___________
Light sweet earl is the new reserve currency?
Because if you take the SPR releases out of the equation crude inventories are down about 9 mln barrels YoY.
Finally, a correct answer!
“In its September oil market report, the IEA said demand had been outpacing supply since the middle of 2010, leading to a depletion of stocks. In the second half of last year the supply shortfall was around 1.4 million b/d, while in the first six months of this year the deficit was closer to 500,000 b/d.
At the end of this period, OECD oil stocks in July 2011 dipped below the average level over the last five years for the first time since June 2008, the IEA said. This situation continued in August, when an estimated stock build of 600,000 barrels fell well short of the normal increase for the month of 14 million barrels, despite the release onto the market of oil from emergency stockpiles of IEA member countries.”
http://www.platts.com/weblog/oilblog/2011/09/13/iea_says_fundam.html
It continues to amaze me, even in a (formerly) erudite forum such as this, that people will reach for any and every explanation on crude except for simple supply and demand fundamentals.
And what part of this chart says “straight up” to you?

I like Mitt more and more. Of all the candidates, he is the only one who has a chance of improving the economy. Everyone else, the President included, represents the regression of our country.
I like Mitt.
I worry about his electability is all.
He’s certainly gotten a shitload more polished since the last time around…
And I don’t just mean his robotic sheen, either.

Fly,
What’s your criticism of Huntsman other than his lack of popularity?
Huntsman likes to dump toxic chemicals into front yards, personally.
If you chant Obama’s name it will take away your pain.
You may get the shits, but that’s story is for another day.
Huntsman was Obama’s man in Chiner, and then he decided to call “elements of the GOP” anti-science. That’s gotta be a real winner for the Base.
Fucker must want to light his cigars w. Benjamins, but, because he’s LDS, he can’t smoke cigars, so he enjoys throwing his money away in a futile campaign instead.

I’m pulling for Huntsman to swap his podium for a balcony seat and do a Statler and Waldorf routine at the rest of the debates.
can Mitt get Palin as his running mate ???
Mrs. Mitt might take exception to the Ken/Barbie matchup.

You’re Hired: Clean Energy Jobs Take Off
The challenge the president faces now, says Brune in his Coming Clean blog, is to “stand up to the fossil-fuel industry and its supporters in Congress who are misleading the American public by insisting that regulation kills jobs, and that a clean energy future isn’t viable.”
The opposite is true. A recent Brookings Institute report that found the clean-energy economy employs 2.7 million American workers across a diverse group of industries — greater than the number of people employed by the entire fossil-fuel industry — and that clean tech has outperformed the national rate of job creation during the recession.
Outperformed only because it is subsidized at 4 times the rate of fossil fuel production………just sayin…….
It’ll be a long while before it stands on its own two legs. Maybe when crude averages about a buck eighty a barrel. Not before then.
Hold on a sec… “clean tech” is a pretty amorphous term.
I’ve sold about three “clean tech companies” in the last couple of years and they ranged from coal-fired plant servicers to toxic waster remediators.
They DO NOT mean “windmill/solar/geothermal yada yada” bullshit.
And most of them were started whilst O’Bama was still in one of his colleges.
___________
and how has clean energy worked moving heavy machinery and raw materials down the road?
solar powered trains?
we could always put sails back on the ships…you don’t mind waiting a few months for …fresh fruit…right?
Here…we take 1 Van Trailer (semi) and fit it with 20 harnesses and 20 truck drivers could pull it down the road on bicycles
that ought to employ about ..3 kazillion people by…next tuesday
Yes, think about all the jobs solyndra created. They’re all fired now and the company’s bankrupt, but yeah it will create a few jobs for a few months and that will be exactly the kind of phony misleading results we need just in time for a reelection campaign, to just fool people long enough that they think the president did something right before it all comes crashing down, but at least he’ll be in power again then. Umm…
For the first time in iBC history, I am banning everyone on this thread. Clearing the fucking decks!
start with your self .. this post was a nonsequitur 😛

That’s so weird- (your last comment). I just moved from a place I lived over 8 years- sold everything I had. Ditched almost all of my “friends”. Deleted my FB account- got a new phone number and just want to wipe the last few years “clean” and start the fuck over…like reformatting a hard drive.
Sometimes you gotta clean house!

And you’ve already created the perfect vehicle to do such a thing anonymously. That was pure genius of you creating that internets character. I knew it couldn’t be a real person. Of course, I’m speaking of Alf.
Alf is real, unfortunately.
we still banned?
I think we are.
Leon Trotsky was pretty bad ass.
… mic test 123 … mic test 123 …

The inane comments obviously show that most here are in the same boat as Fly. Waiting, figuring, watching, analyzing while this giant cluster of a market sorts itself out and gives a little direction. Very very hard to read with the wild card being governments around the world trying to prevent total meltdown.
We are just biding our time.
Oh brother. This thing has floated into the deep end without requisite life preservation.
Yes, everyone is still banned, now go to bed, including Senator Gint.
Going to bed now… freaking eggs-hausted.
