Unfortunately, I know someone who is LONG 300,000 shares of TVIX. He is not a stupid man, either. The losses are in the millions and life must suck for him. How do you come back from a disaster like that? Easy, you just fucking do it. Plenty of people have dealt with far worse adversity than monetary loss and come out on top. If any of you buttfuckers are feeling all down and out because the market slapped you around like a little bitch, snap the fuck out of it and get back on your horse. No one likes a loser. More importantly, no one like a loser who feels sorry for himself; it’s just pathetic.
My Grandfather had to deal with thieving “fucking firemen”, who stole his “fucking stamp collection” when he burned down his business for the insurance money. If he was able to come back from that blow, so can you.
With regards to the market: we have a divergence. Tech is weak; but commodities are strong. This is your “Tale of Two Cities” (you dummies should read some Dickens, it’s good for the brain) and someone is on the right side of the trade. With China being the bigger concern here, I have to believe the commodities are speaking truths, whilst the tech stocks are fucking lying.
By the way, I read an interesting research note that said SNDK is enjoying an unusual tailwind thanks to the weaker Yen. Apparently, their EPS may be helped by 5-10% thanks to the Yen going lower. Food for thought.

Your friend should sue fucking Credit Suisse. They still have billions in Nazi gold to pay him off.
Monsieur — If Grandpa Ernest did the Yiddish Lightning on the place to get the insurance money, why didn’t he take the stamp collection home for inspection the evening before?
_______
because it was in a fire proof box and didn’t think he needed to worry about it? I don’t know how criminals think, so it remains a mystery.
You would think the fire-proof box would have begged the question: “Hey Joe Stickfingers the Fireman, wtf is my stamp collection?”
Baseball bat in hand, of course.

It would look less incriminating if he left his valuables in the safe.
Your grandfather could shed some light on the criminal mind, just ask him
There is a respectable cadre of profound thinkers who maintain character and behavior patterns pass directly from grandparent to grandchild whilst skipping the grandchild’s immediate parent. Fuck you all, I’m just the messenger.
he’s dead over a decade
It sucks to lose money but in this case why didn’t your friend take the time to realize what the situation was in TVIX? A little bit of research would have allowed him to see that when CS reopened creations that the premium would disappear. This has happened with multiple ETNs in the past and generally they eventually reopen.
“to had deal with”???
Grammar old chap, grammar
If you are going to play at being a gentleman at least try to write like one
That will be all, carry on…
that is more like a typo, rather than a grammatical mistake.
Home builders are getting kicked in the nuts. I don’t fall for the Cramer theory that ” the housing market is recovering”.
Thank God you are back from “hangin in the tall grass” for the last 3 mos. FIG
“My Grandfather had to deal with thieving “fucking firemen”, who stole his “fucking stamp collection” when he burned down his business for the insurance money. If he was able to come back from that blow, so can you”……….as KP would say – “thats pretty fuckin funny”
So what did your Grandfather burn down to “get back in the game?”
was this the same grandpa that had a furniture store and lost his vision?
sorry, or was a furniture builder?
No, this the arsonist grandfather. I’m not sure if his hobbies included making furniture.
maybe not his hobby but possibly his vocation.
WTF. Unrelated but interesting.
HFT haven the BATS exchange IPO’d this morning.
And apparently the stock flash crashed. (It only trades on the BATS exchange I believe.)
I think some shares traded at 0.00
Ironic no?
Heh
are you sure this yelp is worth a play
That housing data put a fire into the USD selling over hopes for the Clam, FWIW, it looks like we are having a Clam Fight, PM Noda and BoJ are really trying to weaken the JPY, which in turn will rally the USD/JPY..not good for our exporters.
You write it as if to say that it is unfortunate for yout know this fellow, but what you probably meant to say is that you know an unfortunate fellow.
Again, if you are going to play at being gentlemen at least write properly
Sloppy mind
Carry on …
Are you purposely writing poorly so as to show us all an example?
So tighten up the fucking writing, for crying in a bucket
You can call me the “grammar nazi” if you like
(examines fingernails)
Senor Dr. Le Fly,
Have you looked at ticker:CHEF? It would seem to fit right in with your gastronomic predilections.
