Off to Take a Nap

I’ve been up since 6am reading reports, conjuring up wild ideas, arranging meetings for both my business and personal life. As you know, I am trying to find a new home. But now it’s time to go to sleep, as I have nothing to do or say here, for the indefinite future.

By no means will I sit here for you, slaving over a computer, flinging out stock picks like bean pies. I am a mere observer, fan of the markets, owner of nothing but CPST. My cash is held in money market funds, focused on US treasuries, with zero exposure to European sovereign debt. I make it a point to clarify this distinction.

After a hearty breakfast and a good chuckle or two at the people on the teevee, Le Fly will take a “power nap”, whereby rejuvenating himself for the arduous day ahead.

As you punch cards and deal with the monotony of being a line factory worker or municipal hack, find solace in knowing “The Fly” is resting on his 1,500 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets. If you are unfamiliar with thread counts and how it pertains to comfortability, you are a rancid rube, undeserving of quality.

See you in the afternoon!

    I’m not hitting that link but I am guessing it’s Christopher Cross’ “Sailing”.

          I clicked it and it wasn’t J Thompson, it was Hunter S Thompson. The Doctor part was right, though.

          Do you also like Air Supply, and that terrific young English singer, Dr. Rick Astley?

          He is the jizz, and I commend his high end musical stylings to all gentlemen and chinch of good standing.

    Iv;e decided to trade in my fine linens for 50 thread count burlap. I plan to post dire warnings about Greece and walk about clad in the purest burlap with a sign reading ‘The Bear Market is Coming’. I will disregard all positive news and build a bunker high in the Rockies.

      Like… omg… can we be… bff or something? Market is going to drop once Chinease New Year is done and they dont’ restock due to increased Reserves Requirements, or because they have a bunch of copper. Stupid AAPL. Stupid bbuble.

        I was flatter than a pancake until yesterday. I let my inner bear get the best of me, now I am a bit short though some of my favorite indicators tell me not to go negative on the mkt yet. The previous comment was more fear and loathing than prediction. I fear AAPL. They make some of the best products on the planet. IMHO not a great short candidate.

    Let’s all think Greek..

    Q: How many Greeks politicians does it take to change a lightbulb?
    A: What do you mean, “change”!?

    Q: How many Greek public sector workers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
    A: None: The lightbulb contains the seeds of its own revolution. The bulb cannot be changed — it has to be smashed.

    Fly chucklin’ CNBC this morn?

    How awesome was Sam Zell really giving the bitter pill to the puppies, I mean yuppies, I mean yupocrats (I probably betta’ watch it, you probably know some o’ em.)?

    They couldn’t ridicule or attempt brow beating with a man who single handedly capitalized on housing bubble collapse.

    (Mental state on mild-convulsive-level) Oh shit, my B/S bluff keeps getting called!

    Luphed it.

    Off the cuff……..What is everyone’s best guess regarding the price of crude/bbl if/when Israel hits Iran?
    How high will it go?
    How long will it stay there?
    Should a person build such an assessment into his investment strategy?

    Never seen higher than 1000 thread count and that was like sleeping in a sack made of rich girl’s panties. 1500 must be like floating in a cloud of vaporous va6inas.

      Silk sheets. Once you’ve been there you can’t go back.
      The 1500ct Egyptian cotton is relegated to the guests quarters here.
