Asshat of the Week Award: $FCX

What is FCX fucking retarded? I apologize for waking you up with such profanity, but these fucktards are bidding for a company (MMR) that was on its deathbed because their big oil project is likely a dud. Hey, but that didn’t stop the assholes over at FCX from doing ANOTHER deal, on the same fucking day. Like women in a shoe store, they decided to buy PXP too, because that’s what pimps do.

As a result, FCX is down more than $5, fucking their shareholders for pagan Xmas, like nothing I’ve seen before.

Everyone on the teevee seems to be rather “meh” about the whole thing, pointing to stupid tax advantages.

THE COMPANY JUST EMPTIED ITS FUCKING COFFERS FOR A PIECE OF SHIT and another company that is bound to suffer under a difficult Obama led EPA. They probably bought MMR because the name sounds like theirs. Stupid shits.

FCX is a short because copper and gold isn’t good enough for them. FCX is a short because the company is led by asshats.

      FCX is going lower. This is their autonomy.

        Inclined to agree with the “going lower” part but that’s a big gap to fill, copper prices are inexplicably strong, and bargain hunters await in the woodwork.

    Be watching INTC here.
    Gets a downgrade but acting good based upon it’s six billion $$ (yes, 6 billion) borrowing for stock buy backs.
    Will lead SMH etf higher?

      dead $$$ for a few years…however, if you have the time and want to collect the dividend, not a bad place to park some cash

        Not sure about the cash part but it does remind me of IBM in the mid 90s (reinvented itself ) when it was dead $$ when the rest of the market rallied. In any event I am just a degenerate day trader (0-12 trades in and out per day trying to stay out of the HFT Tradebots way).
        Financials telling me SPX will end up in rally mode today.

            TY,although the tale was in the tape and I am wrong sometimes but I keep the losses on a tight leash.
            Also watch China (and metals stocks) over the next few weeks (sorry what’s her name?- Alzheimers here). New Commie in charge who believes more in private enterprise than 0.

    A corporation can be used as a shell to enrich & protect individuals who own it or manage it. It is possible that one or more criminal types at FCX are making out like bandits by ripping off the shareholders for their own advantage. This has certainly happened before in some other companies.

    Maybe FCX looked like FCX was a real company. But, at least temporarily, it turns out to be very similar to a Chinese burrito–not what it was cracked up to be.

      I am here JT 🙂
      Still about 50% cash..
      December is normally the month i buy stocks for the next year or longer..
      This year is a bit different due to all this macro yadayada…
      So I do daytrade when i am not busy with my day job…
      By far the best trades of the year for me is BAC (still holding) and short miners via DUST (I have closed it today)..
      Long term buys for me are in health care, pharma (blue chips),
      consumer staples, telecoms and today I bot UYM (2x miners) which got hit by FCX of course…
      also in the past few weeks build position in BIN (will sell before earnings)
