Things Are Going to Change Around Here

The Peanut Gallery was nuked so that we could replace it with something better. All of this depends on your contributions being coherent and somewhat useful. While the majority of you offer worthwhile information, far too many serve as intellectual chum. In part, this is my fault, as my jovial, foul mouthed rants attract the lowest form of internet web surfer.

Perhaps it’s time for a change?

Going with that theme, I will begin “curating” the viewership here on iBC. Remember, there are two levels of banship on iBC. The nice ban is prohibition against commenting on the site. The onerous version is full “get the fuck out of here, ban your iP address” type that disallows access to the site–sent to the Greg Solomon reeducation camp (GSRC).

To date, we’ve banned over 1,100 from reading the site. While some bloggers would love 1,100 more people to read their shit stained diaries, I curate. I treat this website, as if it were my own home. If you revolt me, you’re gone. If your jokes wear thin, you’re gone.

If the site itself doesn’t work as it should, I lose my temper and make sure it gets fixed.

We all have a place in this world. Some of you are meant to take up space, while others are destined for greatness.

All kidding aside, the bannings will continue until morale improves.

As for the market: futures look okay, ahead of bad European negotiations. It’s ridiculous, plainly. I dare you to bet against me. Better people than you have tried and now find themselves in 200 sq ft apartments in Queens.

    I’m not sure what betting against you entails at the current moment. You are more or less neutral, are you not?

    I like the angry tone around here tonight….these OWS fuckers, i believe, have led to a degradation in the spirit and atmosphere here at iBC.

    I’m actually looking at a 900 square foot apartment in Old Naples, Florida, so I will be sure not to bet against you. My guess is those are Section 8 condos in Brooklyn.

    Bit of house cleaning on your site gets a thumbs up from me…great idea. I tire of remarks from miscreants who go off on a rant and usually have nothing to do with banking coin.

    Please continue to cuss as needed for venting purposes at least.

    FLY, one recommendation…write a book on investing. Your talent on the keyboard should be pressed onto paper for the masses.

    Perhaps your own rags to riches story?

    800 square feet???!!! I think that equals the size of my kitchen and pantry. Screw that! A place that size means I’d see teenagers a whole lot more often. Actually, maybe a place that small would convince them to get a job and go away. I’m going to have to think about the pro’s & con’s of this idea.

      Best I can do on my budget; it’s a start, you know? There’s another one for $250, 3 bedrooms and 2 baths but I haven’t seen the pics yet. This one is closer to the beaches and I like to walk everywhere.

    Those Eurotards created a monster with the EU – it is a Frankenstein I tell you. Frankenstein!

    True dat. The ridiculous combination of totally dissimilar economies attempting to form itself into one economic union in the Euro zone, was a retarded idea from the beginning.

      A monetary union without a fiscal one was always going to be a challenge. But don’t blame it all on the EU. USA interest rates too low for too long and blowing repeat bubbles was and is a major contributor to current global woes. Legitimate and reasonable efforts to improve the stability of financial institutions will require shrinkage of credit. It is unavoidable and painful.

    If we were going to bust down below 1050, it would have happened by now. Everyone was looking for 1000-900 so it never came.

    Oh sure, 2012 may bring sub-1050 But:
    November – December is here, any fool knows what that means.

      My perception is that this market isn’t following traditional patterns, so it isn’t your “normal day at the office” right now.

    This market is doing what it always does. Setting up to take the peons scraps once again.

    Once that holy Eurozone BS is fixed news drops… global markets will roof.

    Then bitter ass fisting reality sets in on the levered masses.

    The US is in financial shambles and some androgynous Euro printing to plug insolvency will trash the EUR/USD pair.

    Hopefully 1+1 adds up on the above sentence.
