“The Fly’s” Blogroll

How do you value everyone?

If I died today, ChessnWine, Ragin Cajun, Woodshedder and the gang would have to carry on my legacy of slapping homeless men in the face with hot slices of pizza on my birthday. iBankCoin has a blogger network where you, the idiot reader, can join and speak your mind.

As a first tier blogger, someone of importance in the virtual world and real, I’ve always monitored the ongoings of the financial blogosphere. My buddy Ritholtz is one of the pioneers in the financial blogging world; and even though he’s never fucking linked to iBankCoin in all of our years in existence, I still love him because of sentiment and the work he puts into his writing on a daily basis.

By the way, Barry nailed MUSE many years ago at about $1, as well as the market bottom in 2003, with space alien magician precision.

Throughout the years, I’ve watched Reformed Broker flourish from a “linkfest” type of guy into the first tier blogger club. I look forward to meeting him one day, and out drinking him over rocks with some Scotch splashed onto them.

Many years ago, when he was first starting out, I tried to convince Tyler from Zerohedge to leave his new blog to write for me. Lucky for him, he decided to go it alone and become one of the most visited sites on the fucking internets. A lot of people love to hate on Tyler, specifically because he is bearish as fuck and popular as hell. Fucking Rush Limbaugh plugs his site for free on his show. The way I see it, Tyler is a consummate professional, provider of news and information on a scale never seen before on the financial blogoshere. It’s easy to hate on ZH when your dick is small. Man the fuck up and give that lunatic his fucking due.

The Yahoo message boards used to be a place where people went to get information about their stocks. However, due to spam and retardation, it was rendered useless. StockTwits has replaced Yahoo’s retarded message boards with something much better: a curated and efficient stream of real time information for the masses. When on the road, I check my StockTwits iPhone app all the time, for grave news and information, on the stocks that I own “being had” by meat cleavers and other sharp kitchen utensils.

What’s the point here?

Well, aside from the sacred halls of iBankCoin, I read 4 fucking sites; and I just wanted to let you know that all of the others are run by vagrant dicksuckers. AVOID them at all costs.

    The gentlemen at iBC mentioned above really have created a standard to follow. Ragin Cajun for his sharing & use of the PPT with posted charts. chessNwine for his relevant updates, charts, & EOD market updates (great pictures too). Woddshedder for his statistical abilities; overall a great team put together Mr. Fly. Also nice note on ZH, hated by bulls loved by bears but as an unbiased trader I respect the work & research he provides.

    I’ll be here only as long as you are here Fly. You know that though…. I Think.

    I do like your style FLY, you’re timeless!
    great to see you paying respect to those whom you believe in and those that believed in you.

    The comments about Yahoo’s useless stock thread got me thinking.. Yahoo really fucked up. They could have dominated the internet but their fucktarded lazy management and lack of foresight let companies like Google,Twitter,and countless others profit on similar products Yahoo pioneered but never brought to their full potential.

    purchase coins rather than bars or stock – numismatic coins are best (think U.K Sovereigns). But if you must purchase stock, there’s only one worth your time.
    we’ve charted FNV against GDX, the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF. In just the last year, FNV has outperformed the broader index by better than 30%.

    “Many years ago, when he was first starting out, I tried to convince Tyler from Zerohedge to leave his new blog to write for me.”

    It’s the best thing you ever failed at. The difference between you and tyler is that you don’t hate the market wanting to see it burn, laughing at the misery it would cause. He wants to see everyone dies. His commenters are the dregs of the worst mental asylums in the world.

    Also you weren’t life banned from the financial markets and as a result carrying the a chip on your shoulder the size of a red gum.

    I consider this to be a trick question.

    A team is what you are..all unique.

    No more talk of being Breitbart’d(much to sickening).

    Tyler is a brilliant writer and could sell ice cubes to Eskimos. However, his continous bearish rant would not have created AAPL, MSFT, WMT. These giants were built on optimism and not on the sky is falling mentality that Tyler loves to write about.

      You are correct. Any Jackass can knock down a barn door.

        sometimes it takes a jackass to kick down the barn door,because sometimes said owner,or owners of barn door cant fathom what could be on the other side,or what they can achieve by getting to the other side. i’ve kicked a few in my time. changed a whole industry.

    Couple others I like – Abnormal Returns for the linkfest (How I discovered ibankcoin actually), Crossing Wall Street and Ivanhoff (part of the whole stocktwits world).
