All of you are probably wondering how the annual iBC meeting went. I can only share minute details, as the meetings are categorized as “classified.” The meeting was held in the butcher room of an undisclosed NYC steakhouse. In attendance was: Cain Thaler, Ragin Cajun, Woodshedder, GappingnYapping, Jakegint and wife, Scott Bleier and wife, ChessnWine, Chuck Bennett and girlfriend, Vincenzo Illuminati (ibc’s famed IT guy) and myself and Mrs. Fly.
We discussed the destruction of all nerds who dwell on the internet, as well as those who’ve treated us poorly. It is not unusual to unmask myself to people that I’ve grown to trust and respect. I look forward to meeting with many of you in the future. Perhaps next year’s guest of honor will be you.
Moving on, the markets are poised to trade up because there isn’t any fear, since policy makers have made it abundantly clear that they will not accept a down-trending market. It’s a very bad time– indeud– for my friend Zerohedge, and those clad in blue blazers–waiting for the revolution. But it isn’t time yet, as there are plenty of Knightmare’s on Wall Street yet to come.
To be clear, I don’t like the mainstream media, that includes the hucksters at CNBC. What we do here on iBC is against the interests of those who sit with all of the power and influence. It’s an underground movement that rattles the foundation of the clowns, dressed up as businessmen, on the teevee–purporting lies and propaganda– as all dishonorable sophists do. You can’t have it both ways, pal.
You’re either against what they stand for, or you’re a guest talking head offering rubbish for advice, perfumed and covered in make-up for the cameras.

“Knightmare’s on Wall Street “…good one
Anyone else going to be watching the landing of the new Mars rover, Curiosity?
It’s easier on the West Coast. Landing is supposed to be 1:31 am EDT.
If you haven’t been reading up on Curiosity, it is a massive (2000 lb) vehicle that has to be landed in an atmosphere only 1% as dense as Earth atmosphere. That means you can’t slow it enough for a chute and shock-absorber landing and you can’t carry enough fuel for a rocket-decelerated landing.
NASA came up with a complex and ballsy series of entry-descent-landing (EDL) steps worthy of a sci-fi movie. It all has to be fully automated, because it currently takes 14 minutes for a signal to travel from Mars to Earth.

Wish it luck!
Politics as usual.
I look forward to the day the head of Bolton rolls.
America can do SO much better.
This mission is high tech bread and circi.

YCS looks ready.
Curiosity has had a successful touchdown!
Images coming through from the rover now.
Some Day………… Hopefully…

The largest reason I started coming here -and why I cherish these sterling and impeccable halls.
When the old perish unto dirt the hallowed halls will rise up and display honor in not giving a fuck. Ibankcoin. Honesty. Integrity. Discipline.
JFK was nuts, a fucking zoo today
Tonight I sit with my Blue Blazer on just waiting and watching the Europe Session….our day shall come, the clams can’t keep this up forever, and fwiw, our economy will be better off when they stop and we could rebalance our supply and demand to really reflect the actual needs out there. Regarding the yearly meeting, who the heck is GappingnYapping????
Lettuce wedge with extra blue cheese dressing, NY Strip(Pittsburgh rare), garlic mashed and asparagus…….my favorite steakhouse dinner indeud.
glad to hear iBC’s orbital space cannon didn’t shoot down the Mars rover… !!!

I am HERE for ONE reason ~ To get information that makes me money.
>It’s a very bad time– –waiting for the revolution.
We had a Revolution 200+ years ago, I am here to defend it not pretend it.

The rich must be divested from their funds. They waste too much of it on stupid shit. Children are dying.
