Without Respect, You Have Nothing
I didn’t have my daughter’s ears pierced when she was a baby because she wasn’t a toy to be decorated based upon my whims. I could never look at her in the face and willingly impose pain upon her for something she didn’t want or need, superficial nonsense. So I waited for her to age and ask for the earrings on her own. Two years ago, when she was 6, she got her ears pierced and was thrilled to do it. In my opinion, people who decorate their babies are vile animals.
I am not going to turn this story into a stock market lesson because it isn’t. This is a reminder about deportment and how to comport oneself when in the presence of others. If you want something, give something. If you can’t give something, make that person feel welcomed and accommodated.
My clients never leave me. Do you know why? It’s not because I make them money. They already have money. It’s because I treat them with respect by being straight forward, no bullshit. Also, it’s important to discern the difference between “being honest” and being a fucking dick. Just because you are thinking it doesn’t mean you should say it. There are ways to get your point across without insulting others.
Now yesterday I canceled out of the StockTwits QnA session because of feeling slighted about “website decor.” I’m afraid by doing so, I offended some people with my brazenness, which was construed as inappropriate. If I offended anyone, aside from the IT goon squad, I apologize. I just like things a certain way. It was not a very professional course of action on my behalf. However, it was funny as shit. Sometimes I can’t help myself.
Moving on, stocks are respecting the ferocious appetite of bulls, stabilizing, drifting higher. Both TDC and YELP are flat to up, so that makes me happy.

Hi Fly,
It was great to see your holdings and % allocations to each a few days back. Is that shown inside the PPT on a regular basis?
Thanks!

Well having a throne background was a bit over the top. I liked the City scape you’ve got going now.

The REAL question is…….Did you have your boys circumcized at birth? (or would you)…..

Sorry, pal (said in a tone meant to convey respect) but I don’t agree with you on this one. My daughters had their ears pierced at birth (as is the custom in Spain) and I don’t regret it. Circumcision, however, is another can of worms (no pun intended?).
By the way, I meant to thank you for another great marriage tip last week regarding the $400 sunglasses (avoid any reference to a woman’s face). Priceless advice.

IMHO, Stocktwits, facebook, Stockpickr etc is really only made up of people that are willing to give of their time for free..while the webmaster makes huge chunks of coin off of that free work (sort of foxconn thing,lol). Stocktwits should falldown on their knees and send giftbaskets filled with the lunches of their IT people. I am not sure why these sites always think that their bloggers are like foxconn employees and can be so easily replaced?

I can understand and respect the ear piercing philosophy although we all do decide to dress them a certain way. To me that is the same thing. The question will be what to do when they come to you and want to pierce something other than their ears or want tattoos (no disrespect to those with tattoos).

That was so beautiful, notice CVX etc going down into the close. IMHO Chinese has bitched slapped Iran in their premeeting leading into the weekend meeting and something is going to come out of it. China is sending some pretty expensive tankers over to Iran, (which Iran is buying) and China is building Iran a couple of more and Godfather China doesn’t want to see Iran fuck them when they can’t pay if those sanctions are imposed this summer. Que Godfather Theme.
