I bet you think this “schtick”, as many of you call it, is pretend. I gather you fancy Senor Tropicana to be an opportunist of some sort, a person whose sole goal is to accumulate vast fortunes and kill people from outer space (orbital space cannon). However, the exact opposite of that is true.
Long ago, I stopped giving a fuck about money. Sure, I like money and make it my business to accumulate it; but it doesn’t rule me. Being in the business of money management, I can tell you without hesitation that my peers are greedy dicksucking goat fuckers, the very worst society has to offer, aside from lawyers. They attach themselves onto men of industry, like leeches, trying to suck them for all they have, monetarily of course. Their sole purpose in life is to generate revenue, without regard for the pains their clients have undergone to accumulate their wealth.
If you are fortunate enough to be in the business of money management, ignore the nonsense from suggested by middle management hacksjobs, pushing you into high pressure sales tactics. Instead, learn your trade and speak to people as if they had opinions that mattered. Granted, your “kill rate” might be lower. But you will build relationships that will last and they won’t fucking sue you when times get tough.
Everyone wants to be treated with respect, to earn a shot at success, and most importantly, happiness. While it’s true, much of what I do here is for my own entertainment, particularly when I punch off the mustaches of my readers. But the primary purpose of iBankCoin is to help the self directed investor, as well as people who manage money professionally, to think out their ideas, and most importantly, to understand that to conduct oneself with pride and honour is the most important aspect of life.
Inside of the protected walls of iBankCoin are paid services, The PPT and 12631, both catering to those interested in algorithmic and technical trading, hosted by the very best there is on the internet bar none. The stated goal is to always put the member first; and I don’t think you will find a single member with an opinion to the contrary.
Money isn’t the goal. It never is.

“The stated goal is to always put the member first; and I don’t think you will find a single member with an opinion to the contrary” +1 Agreed
china is about to take the legs out from under this market.
VXX just ripped the tits off my chest, WTF …
i think the wacked out contango has turned it into a death trap.
Heavy buying in VXX this afternoon according to Fidelity’s stats. Good for an overnight day trade.

As a self directed investor I do come here for the help. And the humor and fun of the site. The opportunity to post some comments is another benefit. People like to think they are being listened to. And I like to read the random comments of all types of folks I would not normally mix with.
Probably I should subscribe to something. It’s like the other day I drove over to the next city to watch my daughter’s softball game. On the way home I stopped at McDonalds for the free coffee and to use the restroom. All at no cost.
My Dad always said the money you save is the best money because you don’t pay tax on it.
actually I don’t give a fuck about any of this…. .cheers!
nice post Fly. its too bad that the large brokerage firms just look at you like a Revenue Generating Organism (RGO), and building a book in your manner would be a better quality book.
