Three jerkoffs in a punch buggy are driving down a street, laughing gayly whilst listening to Chris Brown songs, until a boulder shaped like an anvil drops from a cliff 500 feet above, crushing the car and all of its occupants. An ambulance arrives and declares all thee travelers dead on the scene. Shortly thereafter, the coroner comes and ushers the bodies away for proper burial. The fire department sends three trucks, mainly to block traffic, and to ring alarms and flash their fucking lights. The local newspaper hack is there too, taking pictures and recording the grim scene for all of his readers. It is a big deal, as it makes the local news reports, even a national newspaper.
The next day people are careful when driving, looking up at the cliff above for errant boulders that may attempt to murder them while driving. The newspaper people laud and praise how cordial everyone seems to be behaving, post tragedy. Everyone feels grateful for being alive and heeds caution while passing by the spot where those three jerkoffs were crushed into pancakes.
One month later, no one remembers the tragedy or the boulders above. They speed with reckless abandon because their engines were built to break the law. One young zealot has a license plate that says “FCKBOULDRS.” He zips by slow moving station wagons– doing 95mph while sticking his middle finger out of his window. People are jealous of this young man and trade in their station wagons for fast cars. Soon enough, everyone is driving race cars, drinking beers, while sticking their middle fingers at the memorial where the three jerkoffs were killed.
As they do this, ever so quietly, murderous boulders are ajar 500 feet above.

Death to the Fly and all his scrotum lice suckers
Blasphemy upon you and all of your family.
I think, Dear Cindy, you might know more about sucking lice from scrotums than most others!
You know…suck one dick and they call you a cock sucker! LOL
You from Tampa? Ever hugged a pole or given a special blow dry massage? Haw, Haw, Haw, Haw
So we are going to crash soon… wonderful.
Dow 1,000,000 cuz it’s different this time.

Yeah right…and when everyone is getting together for group sex you’ll be the one asking, “Fuck me!…Fuck me!….Doesn’t anyone want to fuck me?…Why won’t someone fuck me?”, as you breakdown……Haw, Haw, Haw, Haw
Long live The Fly!

Other than all that.. I must say I do enjoy your witicisms, however you are a sublime contrarian indicator
Pray tell me, bitch, what have you profited from my wrong position?
That’s a nice parable there, Fly. Too bad the boulder above is being held in place by a strand of Bernanke’s beard. Said strand stiffens at 1:00pm every afternoon to pull the boulder back.
Moody’s just downgraded all of Europe and futures are down a measly ten points. Greece’s bailout was approved with everything but Parliament ablaze. I won’t become indignant and just buy stocks to join ’em, but I sure as hell ain’t gonna try beating them by shorting.
Glad I raised still more cash today, picking through holdings that caught a decent HOD or breakeven from recent purchase. The bomb shelter has been vacuumed, dusted, and filled with coors light (no, not those over-rated bitter microbrews our children drink). I’ll be ready to double down when the Fat Lady starts to sing in descending octaves.
Overrated my ass. Keep drinking that beer flavored water, Pops. Life’s too short.

it takes some balls to short this kind of market…
It takes a mental retard to short this kind of market.
i can only deduce that this parable is intended to tell us all to blindly interpret your writings as advice and instructions to wake up tomorrow and short AAPL and borrow heavily to buy as much chinese burritos as we can carry. If this proves to be unwise I’ll be super upset at you and i’ll be all “hey, I’m trading your script here, how dare you lead me astray.”
obama rally, get with the program. the stimu-less is kicking in until election. the only thing i see f-in this up is iran now.
oooo… Ominous
I am a little confused Le Fly, if the boulders are falling down from the sky and crushing cars, how does the speed really matter?
Would the boulder be distinguishing between cars going at 30Mph vs 80Mph? This is not a smart ass comment but just an inquiring one …
Good for you.
See it doesn’t matter whether you are driving fast or slow. You’re all gonna get turned into pancakes anyway. By default, humans tend to slow things down when danger approaches. I am glad you saw the flaw in this story, as most didn’t think it through.
In other words, one way or another, SPLAT.
Speed indeed matters. The faster one travels, the less time spent in the danger zone. The less time spent in the danger zone, the lower the chances are that one gets SPLAT upon. Assuming the odds of getting crushed were the same whether going fast or slow, you’d look much cooler when the rock falls on your head if you’re going fast.
The danger zone is infinite. Therefore, speed is irrelevant.
That is why I have a double titanium re-enforced cowling on my Batmobile.

I’m not so sure. I don’t think people have yielded the steering wheel to coke-addled gorillas just yet. When that happens maybe danger will be nearer. I could be wrong of course.
The memory of a sheep is but a grain of sand.
Boulders schmoulders, I’m buyin some aapl tomorrow on margin.
They’re making televisions soon.
Fly, wanted to mention this since I wasn’t able to post in your last update: on having a house adjacent to a golf course, just make sure the house is far enough away so you won’t be awakened by the droning melodies of lawnmowers in the early morning from the course itself.
In the past I asked around about getting a house near a golf course and that was the first thing I was warned about.
I like being woken up by lawnemowers
And then to be lulled back to sleep by the faint “shush, shush, shush” of the herbicide sprinklers casting into the pool…

I completely understand. I hate the fucking incessant crashing surf at the Carmel beach house too.
LOL.

what red signs are you seeing?
definitely the market is overextended, but data seems to be not crappy enough and euro yields are generally going lower. CDS spreads too, but I think thats mainly because CDS on sovereigns wont be recognized a la greece.
Too much bullishness.
bullishness is infinite
houses near golf courses..yes you must buy one.
buy something on water. its very relaxing.
really dont know why your not considering south florida. some great spots can be found.
Because my kids would become Floridians, almost worst than being considered a southerner.
More Cowbell!
God I loved that SNL skit.
ahh the memories…driving off a bucket of golf balls whilst the lawnmower guy runs across the open field dodging INCOMING projectiles
Priceless
There is most definitely an obvious disparity between bulls and bears. This tape is surprisingly bullish and getting even stronger despite the gloomy news.
It does not matter how good the bears hole cards are, or how right they are. The clam and the other chip leaders will always prevail against the bear short stacks.
The McRib is SAFE again:

Ohh .. I liked that one. Nice!
I think cpst was one of two of the only stocks down today..what is the appeal?
Montammy Country Club has some quaint houses around it. Just small enough to not see from the Moon, where most of the other people in NJ will live in 10 years. Privacy first.
Italy, Spain downgrade
France, UK, Austria reduced outlook
Remember, the bears case is that ultimately, the financial system, will fail again
Not that stocks and/or the economy and/or europe can’t be pumped, buoyed, or improve
Trading, is where the mistakes are made. As a bear you want to short, really really badly
Boulderdash!
Why are you so against the SOUTH??!! Its pissing me off. Are you just mad you missed AAPL and went with CPST instead? I love you man but don’t be hatin on my sweet home. Florida is FAR WORSE.
This guy said F’ Boulders…
