ANNOUNCEMENT: “The Fly’s” Final Fuck You

Since 2006, I’ve been telling the internets to fuck itself, for a variety of reasons. For one, I was young, belligerent, and wanted to get a few points across. It is a fact when one uses profanity to deliver a message, it gets amplified. People pay attention to the message when it is outlandish and I used this to my advantage.

Also, my children were young and not really into the world of internet connectivity. My wife, as I’ve stated here numerous times, hardly knows the persona “The Fly” exists. I don’t believe she’s ever bothered to read the site, as she’s too busy dealing with keeping up with the fashions of the day.

But I’m afraid all good and bad things must come to an end. This will be my final profanity laden post. Frankly, I don’t care to use words of the profane nature in the real world, so why use them here? While it’s true, I do partake in the profane when jostling with friends: I never use this sort of verbose at home, especially around the kids.

My vocabulary is much greater than yours and I do not need the application of the profane to have my message understood and amplified. I’m a bit older now and definitely more mature. I’m no longer hopped up on Monster Energy beverages and I certainly do not drink coffee. Most importantly, my kids are getting older and I’d hate to become a source of ridicule for them sometime down the road.

Since this is my final profanity laden post, I’d like to offer a special “fuck you” to a number of people who’ve supported the site throughout the years, helping Le Fly (as he’s popularly known in France) become a household name, a great topic of debate at dinner tables across the continents of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Australia and Antarctica (fuck Africa).

The following people can fuck themselves:

The iBankCoin Staff
The iBankCoin IT Department, spearheaded by the Chevalier of Duluth, Vincenzo Illuminati
All Former iBankCoin Staff
Chuck Bennett
The Devil
All Readers and active participants of iBankCoin
All of the miscreants who I’ve banned throughout the years, all 2,000+
Howard Lindzon and his lovely sidekick Mr. Pearlman
Reformed Broker
CNBC
All fucktards who follow me on Twitter
All of the homeless men who I’ve had the pleasure and honour of kicking down stairs and idle manholes
Old fuckers in wheeled chairs
The assholes who swore to God the SBUX-TEA deal would fall apart
TIM (both of them)
Karl “Blue Blazer Special” Denninger
Abnormal Returns
The Kirk Report
Andy Swan and his stronger brother Landon
Dealbook
CNN Money
The Homosexuals over at SeekingAlpha
Jefferson Krull
The Yahoo Finance Message boards and all of its trolls
Market Troll
Chart swing trader
MarketSci
DinosaurTrader
Option addict
The Globe and Mail (faggots)
The Daily Crux
The retarded folks over at Stock.ly
Pattern Profits
Todds Trade
That asshole from New Zealand who may never be named
Business insider and their robot Joe Weisenthal
Zerohedge
UpsideTrader
Alphatrends
Dennis Kneele
Beccy Meehan
Brent Rose, actor extraordinaire who did “The Fly Show”
Investing Channel for selling ads on such a profane dwelling, supporting the 2nd amendment rights of our employee Woodshedder by allowing him to purchase assault weapons

Last but not least, I’d like to give a special “fuck off” to the assholes at WordPress who’ve made this blogging experiment run seamlessly throughout the years.

It’s the end of an era and the beginning of a new one. May the next era be filled with topped hatted gentlemen– strolling about these halls wearing white gloves armed with black canes, beating their pet monkeys about the cranium for shitting on the Persian rugs that we hold so dear.

UPDATE: Regrettably, in my haste, I forgot to offer a final “fuck you” to StockTwits founder and world class yachting racer, Soren Macbeth. Soren and I go back to the early 1980’s, when I’d blow up his tree houses with jelly jars filled with gunpowder. Today, Soren spends his time studying botany, in an effort to find a cure for homosexuality. It’s rumored that his beta cure is being used as we speak at the StockTwits HQ in sunny Coronado.

    I never thought you used profanity for effect. Sometimes they are the just the best and most descriptive words under the circumstances.

    I think you will come to this conclusion when you are searching to describe someone or some event and you will discover that any word other than ‘fuck’ just doesn’t do justice to what you are seeking to express.

    Hey, it’s been fun and don’t forget to pay your taxes so I can live out my final days in a taxpayer supported nursing home (told my kids no to the Villages). OR I may just fling myself in front of a semi on I-4 when it looks to be near.
    PS I have seen this before when Fly went from the “orange” look to a new layout.
    Will be looking for a new setup. (Fly is addicted to creative writing).

      TC,
      You need to sell some of your INTC, buy you and your son 2 round tickets to Edinburgh, and rent a room at the Dunvegan in St.Andrews for a week.

      Call Ann McCarthy at Muirfield, set up a day at Carnousite, another at Kingsbarns, and play the old course 4 days in a row.

      Please make that memory before you think of throwing yourself on I-4.

    Fly going Mormon-Romney style on his readers. What a stupid, dumb fucking idea it is.

    Suppressing his feelings whilst losing large coin on stupid average down bets shall likely lead him to great ruin.

    In due time, he will return to the venue which permits him to release the inner turmoil and self-destructive trading demons which dwell within.

    Here’s the thing. When a gentleman who commands respect does not use such language, if a time ever occurs where such language is called for, it acts as a nuclear option. Shock and Awe so to speak.
