Most of you do not appreciate the magnitude of the bet that has been placed by the Federal Reserve and other central banks. This is the Normandy invasion of macro-economics, Keynesian run wild. Everything is at stake, countries, currencies, health, yet there you are twitpic’n your fucking food, acting like a God damned jackass.
I am especially fond of the expert investor, who has somehow seen all of this before, and is able to maneuver through the field filled with bouncing Betty financial landmines with flawless precision–completely unscathed. The very thought of a bad trade is pure folly and frowned upon by such singular majestic men.
There are two bets you will have to make in 2012, either all in or all out, in every sense of the word. I do not think they will be able to extend and pretend any longer. This shit is either going to wipe people the fuck out, leading to roaming bands of zombies carrying brain spoons, or we’re all gonna be rich. Well, let me rephrase that for the slow fuckers out there. People like my dear friends over at Zerohedge will be castrated by appalling market appreciation. The rest of us, betting on reflation, will be driving Bentley’s and spitting on people as we drink tea from our chalices made from fucking rubies and gold.
As you would imagine, “The Fly” has already made arrangements to endure the unthinkable. I have pulled several hundred thousand dollars out of Chase and placed it into safety deposit boxes along the east coast of the United States. Moreover, my pantry is well stocked with dry foods, just in case the fiends on my island clean out the local grocery stores when the shit hits their faces. The car is never less than half of a tank and packed luggage is at an arms length, at all times. Naturally, you must have adequate levels of portable water and toiletries. Proper escape routes have been mapped and tested, in order to outstrip the rest of you egg beaters living in the Tri-state area.
When the zombie horde is chewing on your neocortex, “The Fly” will be picking chestnuts on his new farm in fuckville, USA.
In short, get ready for the unbelievable.

The Fly is God.
There is a reason I left the comforting environs of the nicest side of Southern California (i.e., Bel-Air, Malibu, Newport, La Jolla) and moved in to the fu-king forest in central Oregon.
No major populations to run away from, just big bad dogs, guns, and fences. NRA loving neighbors, all at least several acres apart.
Actually, I do happen to think we will be driving Bentley’s into the Brave New World (Order) and become rich as we rocket skyward into 2012.
The question is, what to do with the riff-raff afterwards?
If we make it beyond 2012, that is.
Let me know if you figure that one out.
FEMA
The Zerohedge crowd believes that stocking up on weapons, food, and having an escape plan is what will be needed for survival. Are you saying that you agree with this prognostication? Or just stating that it’s one of two possibilities and you are prepared for either one.
I agree. This will not end well. Either the can gets kicked a bit further or the can falls flat on most peoples skulls and wipes them out.
The questions are how and when, not if.
Fly, You have become what you most likely once detested; the pessimistic, crotchety old investor. These macro events are all a distraction. Slap your nuts back down on the the cutting board and chop some carrots. We will have our ups and downs, but the end of world has been postponed. Risk is back on, accumulate foreign growth stocks like it’s 2006. GGB for a good triple in the next 5 years- with a divy.
No dayman, I believe he is suggesting doing what Darwin suggested; EVOLVING AND ADAPTING to changing conditions. An intelligent man adapts to change, it’s called survival, but apparently you’re not interested. Never mind. If the zombies are ever “chewing on your neocortex” (apparently a light snack) you might regretfully recall the ‘Flygacious’ wisdom presented here which you ridiculed.
Personally, I suggest that if the zombie brain-eating mobs come we take over a shopping mall ala ‘Day of the Dead’ (or was it ‘Dawn’?). Short Hills seems the most oft discussed mall on this blog, and as a bonus it seems to enjoy a lower profile to the futuristic roaming-brain-eating-zombie-mobs as there appears to be a low supply of cerebrum there.
Too drunk and busy to give you a proper response. I would prefer to smash my fists and point to things but that’s not possible right now.
Instead I will throw some words your way and hope you can connect them because I am too tired to fill in the dots. Ready? Here we go! HISTORY RHYMING SURVIVAL ZOMBIEJESUS MONEY
Dayman is future zombie appetiZer. Before casting aspersions, perhaps he should read the post again and realize it is not making definitive predictions, just a scenario.
This future zombie meal is tap-dancing away across minefields blasting daft punk to the masses from his palace.
Have fun with the scenarios.
I’ll stop twitpic’n my food when you stop posting hilarity in the middle of the night. But that will be after the apocalypse, at which point we’ll both be too busy trying to scratch some carrots from the cold, barren soil whilst fending off zombies. I’m pleased that you’ve seen the light and hedged your bets on extension and pretension, but have no doubt: Should the days of wine and roses return to the markets, they will be but a fleeting moment. Gather them while ye may, etc.
Who needs a zombie apocalypse while the wage slaves have Busch lite and the retardo-box to watch softcore pr0n?
While a conclusion to the world’s econo-drama would be satisfying (or at least a relief to GET ON WITH IT) I fully expect extend and pretend to go on in fabulous fashion. There are no cops, no prosecution, and no justice to be found, and therefore no catalyst to cause a failure of the world. I’ve long since given up on the second coming of Zerohedge. The rules don’t matter, since they can be changed or flatly ignored at will. It’s sideways until we grow (or lie) our way out of problems, then another bull(shit) market with all the slutty money left over, as the proles have to switch to Keystone lite and shadow puppets on their candle-lit cardboard walls.
I awoke from a deep sleep and in a pool of terror sweat. Something was desperately wrong. It forced me out of bed and to my feet which mysteriously led me to my office and an internet browser opened to IBC.
My eyes were forced to the Latest Headline about the “Biggest Bet” etc. and began to read. I found myself terrified of “brain eating Zombies” but was still congnecent enough to begin laughing hysterically and out loud. It woke everyone else in the house. The kids came running down asking “Daddy, what’s so darn funny”? I told them that my friend Dr. Fly, has turned into Glen Beck as tears rolled from my sleepy eyes.
hey, sounds like christmas story…
I just think Fly is now dealing with the realities of the situation and knows there’s no easy way out. It’s a mathematical impossibility to grow out of this shit.
Long MCD into the apocalypse.
MCD will be bought out by the federal government.. As a newly minted GSE, they will feed the zombies with 25 cent coupons for French fries and eggmcmuffins. Ray Kroc will be the face of the new 1$ federal reserve note.
Armed guards in riot gear posted at every drive through.
BUY SNACK WRAPS OR FORFEIT YOUR LIBERTIES. This guy gets it. Everyone will get adequate MICKEYDEES points upon birth, good for sustenance for the average life span.
ROFL!!!
this is the 29324702937402340723407234 the world has been ending. war, famine, financial, inflation, deflation, all the above at the same time, etc. etc. etc again.
Worst case is a depression. Big deal, we’ll get through it in 10 years max. When you’re unemployed just buy a jet ski and chill like Kenny Powers. Enjoy.
Who has time to twitpic their 3 star dinner when Drew Breezy Brees-ieaux is mudstomping Hotlanta to a syncopated Kermit Ruffins beat?
Seriously, let’s get our priorities straight, non?
____________
go..jake…go!!
So, are you saying you are the reincarnation of Michael Schofield and there is nothing that can be done that will impede your master plan? 🙂
If we take the mall, would our Zombie hook us up ? Maybe lead the others away from the glass doors ?
Could he get the other zombies to keep the electricity and heat going ? Maybe lead the others away while we scour the earth for rotting food ?
Or is it going to be, “What do you mean “We”, white man ?”

I vote Zombies…you know what is so fustrating, Shanghai Comp is hitting 52 week low and still FXP, etc doesn’t work.
Short fxi
If the Ecb just fixed rates… its over for a long while.
Central banks are nowhere near all in
Sounds like someone had the song from Fantasia stuck in their head after watching it with the kids. The world is in a constant balance between destruction and creation. Nothing is entirely new here. Electrons and protons, evil and good, violence and peace, rage and euphoria, anti-matter and matter, hot and cold, beauty and beasts, the waves and the beach, survival and death, adaptation and evolution: they all have commonalities. Most of the time it is easier to change yourself than the world. What is the greater good: destruction or creation? Or can one not exist without the other? Without the poor, how do we know anyone is rich?
This song is so awesome because of its variances. Variety is the spice of life.
fractional banking, the fed, my boat is filled w/ fuel. but my cash pos. scares me.so im loading up with vxx.
Fractional banking is a myth.
10 to 1, 40 to 1 …..
type in, the man who controls obama in ur browser, what do you think?
Don’t know about fuckville, USA, but I hear Intercourse, PA is nice.
Has The Fly moved into the >= 47.5 years of age bracket?! Maybe he should start a farm and disconnect from the interwebs, that old fuck.
Odd that you would announce to the world that your pantry will be the one with the food
Does your farm sit on top of trillions of cubic feet of natural gas?
Mine does.
Southeastern Ohio: not just for rednecks anymore.
And you ain’t gonna get one fuckin’ nickel out of it.
Only dirty water / earthquakes.
Fracking SUCKS.
LOL fracking blows! $3 NG rules!
Yeah I’ve got Nat gas underground and so what? Drillers hate it, Big Oil wants crude. You’re out of luck…
SHLD beat like a red-headed step child!! Ha HA
More L.V. Beethoven
Keynes is to economics as Newton is to physics. Who sells brain spoons? I want to invest in that company.
Italian yields look phenomenal right now
“I have pulled several hundred thousand dollars out of Chase and placed it into safety deposit boxes along the east coast of the United States.”
No holes in the back yard?
If Ron Paul gets elected, I could see that Zombie thing playing out. – I’d also be 3x long Gold, Jameson and Remington shells
Nice post. I’m hiding in plain sight.
Don’t forget to load a year’s supply of condoms. Walgreens has a nice 3pack special for the all hat and no cattle planning escape routes to oblivion.
I hate 2012 predictions, they last about 2 weeks.
In any case, we will be rich, and the USA and it’s banks will dominate the world again. We will enslave Asia, Russia and Latam for cheap labor, and Europe for culture.
There, that’s my prediction.
Thumbs up.
I’ll add that US citizens with 3.90% fixed mortgages will spend the extra few hundred bucks a month savings on all sorts of gadgets and vacations to warm places for the next 30 years.
ha.
Razor, you guys down in Key West should benefit from this.
Just think, the sword swallower down at Mallory Square will be able to buy a new pair of Deckers shoes with all the extra tips. The guy with the hairless cat could buy a new cat sweater.
See how great this system works?
good point, at any rate i think we continue higher till the wheels come off, the question is when, or ever?
I’m holding out until “The Man” pays me to buy a house.
What’s going on with KNDI?
Up 36% in 6 days!
I side with the “we’ll all be rich” scenario. The other option is too much ZH’ish for me.
God bless you, Fly.
prepare for the worst but expect the best?
“I have pulled several hundred thousand dollars out of Chase and placed it into safety deposit boxes along the east coast of the United States.”
Wouldn’t Banks have their doors locked if you are in need of that emergency cash? IF the world is burning, Banks will be locked and sit on everyone’s items.
Isn’t a floor safe a better option or even a locker at Penn Station? Do you have a back-up plan for your back-up plan?
buy spam in large amounts, or HRL, look at there chart!
I’m glad everyone is embracing the whole zombie apocalypse scenario. Recommended reading: “The Zombie Survival Guide” by Max Brooks. Good luck.
Art Cashin says 0 “don’t bet on the end of the world, it will only happen once”
Fly needs to chomp on some “organic” beef. Down a Costco pack of Chili. Down a lil’ class action “illegal” settlement creatine containers (no [ster]oid), and pick up some firearms.
Trust. You don’t want to have to hack down zombies when “on the run.”
>Bentley’s
The apostrophe is NEVER used to pluralize. Look at all the car’s on the road. I had a couple of beer’s with the boys. I saw Jack with some hooker’s.
Makes you look like a fucking moron. Just as bad as “loose” for “lose.”
