Feels Like Death

I think it’s fair to say we’re all fucked.

I don’t have anything good to say and I don’t have anything to boast about. I find myself, oddly enough, speechless, in what can only be described as decapitated. This is a good hard lesson for me, something I might talk about until the day I die, or not. One thing is for certain, I’ve gone too far than to see my resolve shrink now.

I will pray to all of the Gods, both old and new, in order to make my stocks go higher. I will smoke some hopium and base investment decisions upon the eyes of sacrificed goats.

There is no form of compensation worth the angst I receive from doing this disgusting job. I’d be better off shoveling shit in Louisiana than buying and selling stocks like a carnivale monkey.

      i’m not sure u rented the right movie
      snap out of it playing the trade of market crashing 50 percent is just too hard what about consolidating in a 15% area where only stock pickers and traders will thrive? that’s seems more likely

    Perfectly timed, as usual. Fly gives up all hope, and we put in a bottom. Reference this comment later. Have this timestamp etched into your favorite future watch which you’ll be able to afford as we take off from here and never look back.

    My grandfather hearded sheep. When I visited him as a kid, no phone, just one light bulb and an outhouse. If the account blows up, it seems like a viable lifestyle…

      Lived like that for a short time when I was a kid. Only difference was no light bulb. The stars are bright. The wine, water, and bread tastes great. The only problem is the charm wears out after a while or they electrify the place and the price of real estate soars and the reason for being there goes away.

      What were the sheep saying to him?

      If he is near a creek to fish in, and has enough space near the outhouse to grow tomatos, onions and some free range chickens, and keep a dog he has all that he needs.

    Must be rough for Fly to suffer with arrogance-withdrawl, however, we know he will ultimately learn nothing from this experience and is only laying in wait for a new opportunity to tell us all how he “desires to outstrip us”, and “The Fly never loses, small pleb”, and “Those who trade against me will be tossed into a medieval nut-remover”, (ok, that last one was my original), anyway, he wouldn’t be Le Fly if he wasn’t the incorrigible sociopath he plays on TV…therefore we must enjoy this rare glimpse into his deeper humanity (suffering will do that- it’s why you don’t fuck with Karma)…because all too soon that humanity will be hidden again beneath an armour of swagger, cigar-smoke, and countless shot-glasses of testosterone. Yet perversely, this is what we love about him, and why we keep coming back for more.

    Still, I shall always be around in the future, to remind him of the largeness of his pussy during the Summer Meltdown of 2012, if only a brief glimpse of that ugly snatch, much like the face of the creature in Super 8, and how he bought the top of the rally, yelling about Dow 17,000, and how he finally had to dump all his YELP in 2016 just before it was de-listed.

    I too feel that this place is becoming ZeroHedge2. Lighten up guys.

    Easy to say, but if the positions are that painful. Liquidate, take time off and come back fresh.

    Why can I say this, I just got a the timing wrong on the gold rally I was expecting and volatility got the better of my capital before the $60 move the other day. I was a week early.

    C’est la vie.

    Fly,

    Just by your Louisiana reference, I now there’s no place you’d rather be.

    Besides when you have your grandchild on your knee you can tell them that you weren’t shoveling shit in Louisiana.

    Great reference and even better movie – all time favourite.

      … many years ago, while stationed at Schofield Barracks on the island of Oaho, HI … an Army dentist extracted my wisdom teeth. Thankfully, I had a nice stash of primo Hawaiian back at he house to lessen the pain.

      But, I digress …

    Someone in my family just found an old SF Examiner from May 1985. The Business section headline is ‘Dow over 1,300 in Heavy Trade.’
    “The stock market pushed through the 1,300 mark in heavy late trading today… Analysts said the market was reacting to the Federal Reserve Board’s move to cut the discount rate from 8% to 7.5% and bank’s prime rates from 10.5% to 10%.”

    Times change.
