A Quick Tour of iBankCoin

Being that we get new readers everyday and we’ve made multiple changes here over the past 3 months, I figured it made sense to interrupt your pathetic lives to give you a grande tour of the decadent and illustrious halls of iBankCoin.

As you know, I am your host, “The Fly” aka Plutonium Petey aka Senor Tropicana aka HORATIO CLAWHAMMER. I founded this blog while mining for plutonium in the outer reaches of the Mongolian steppe. I manage money, professionally, read 880 words per minute and have an IQ of 155. In my spare time, I like to go on late night drives and abduct farmers from Ohio, in order to launch them into outer space (spaceship).

ChessnWine and Ragin Cajun are the technical experts on iBankCoin. They run one of our premium services here, 12631, and have done a phenomenal job this year. What’s more impressive is their discipline in such a bad tape. In his spare time, Chess likes movies, riding elk, and playing with gunpowder, while Ragin Cajun greatly enjoys fine dining and collecting high end Grandfather clocks.

Jakegint aka SENATOR aka CEMENT HEAD (CH) is the cult leader on iBankCoin, with regards to precious metals. He alleges to have an IQ of 155.1; but I think he’s making that shit up just to one up me. In his spare time, Jake likes to attend liberal fundraisers and is an avid collector of classic Chevy Volts.

Woodshedder aka Woodshedder specializes in system trading. At the moment, Wood is a ranking member of t both he Virginia Tea Party and Occupy Richmond movement. In his spare time, Wood likes to collect masters degrees and rusted engines.

Scott Bleier aka “The Human Megaphone” is the oldest of the iBankCoin staff writers. Scott has been trading stocks since the 1940’s and has endured wars, famine and pestilence with outstanding results. In his spare time, Scott enjoys to smoke Pall Mall cigarettes (no filter), while chewing on tobacco.

Caine Thaler is the newest writer on iBC and possibly the youngest. Caine is very secretive and doesn’t like the “inconvenience” of incandescent lighting. Growing up in Detroit, Caine is an avid spectator of violent crimes and has testified in 8 different murder trials- each of which were thrown out due to hung jury.

Jeremy the IT guy aka VINCENZO is the wizard behind all of iBankCoin’s grandeur and disaster. Jeremy is filthy rich and lives on a 40 acre estate, filled with cheap labour aka “illegal Mexicans.” When not coding from his 5th floor office of his house, Jeremy enjoys to drag race funny cars on his fucking racetrack. Asshole.

CRONKITE is iBC’s news anchor and can be found inside IBC’s Financial News Network. He posts about 100 stories per day and sleeps about 10-12 hours per week. In his spare time, Cron enjoys to smoke marijuana and cook high end French cuisine.

The Financial News Network is where all of the news is posted. The blogs are mainly opinion, with a blend of utility. If you want to know who is bombing who and what companies are fucked, visit the news section.

The Blogger Network is my latest creation. It is a place where distinguished gentlemen with top hats go to blog about stocks, bonds and mutual funds. Since being launched last month, it has taken a 5% share of iBC’s overall traffic aka “very good.” There are over 150 registered bloggers in the network and I welcome all with an opinion to join. It’s free. Also, whoever is atop the Blogger Network Leaderboard at the end of every month will earn the title of “Featured Blogger” for the following month. This is a new feature that will be implemented in December.

    I am afraid that some of your gentlemen in top hats might be infiltrators from The Slope Of Hope where they were photographed as

    Watch out for the one on the left, he still has pretty impressive core muscles. The rest can probably be dispatched quite quickly by R.W. Pelican.

    A lovely place to relax in a plush leather chair and wax lyrical about profit, in all it’s lovely forms. Sort of a modern Diogenes Club in my mind, only somehow all the unclubbable still get to post.

    On a side note I spent the last month or so relaxing in SE Asia, — spent some time in Malaysia and found this interesting. Any foreign cars there are incredibly expensive (the gov makes a huge profit)… For instance a Volvo S60 T6, a nice midsize sedan, assembled in Malaysia (as I understand) – will set you back a cool 350,000 ringgit. A ‘good’ job there will net a local 3500 ringgit a month. Yet, you see plenty of this sort of cars (Mercedes, BMW’s, etc.).

            … upon reflection … might I characterize it as more a …

            “Petting ZOO” !

            Hopefully, I softened it up a tad !

            But, a “ZOO” … nonetheless !

    Indeed or indeud, there is no other place like this – anywhere in the universe.
    As Lenny said, “Where do you go from here?”

    Actually toying with shooting fish in a barrel. Where can that be done?
    Mongolia, in the spring. & they even have net access.

    As usual, well said M. LeFly.

    I have only one minor complaint, as is typical, V.King needs a spot on the roster.

    Perhaps you could narrow the scope of his Blog to “strength training,” but V.King is BadA$$.

    Monsieur Fly,

    Your time machine staff regrets the delay. Due to mechanical delays (German), we shall arrive at your destination slightly behind schedule. Meanwhile, do enjoy the view of this morning’s green futures whilst sipping your nectar.

    Yesterday I wrote that 1209-1215 was a range to watch and unless significant news came out it should hold. Well I think significant news came out and this changes everything. It is clear that the markets will trade up for the rest of the year and volatility believe it or not will come down. I was in cash waiting for a shorting position but I now have changed my mind and rather than play short I will play volatility short. I will be buying XIV as my only play in this enviroment….

    If risk taking is on the table again. I do not see gold and silver going up from here. I would be very cautious with the metals right now….
