A GREAT TRAGEDY HAS ACCOSTED “THE FLY”

I’m done. There must be some sort of lunar-linked conspiracy to rid me of any semblance of money, leaving me to become a vagabond scoundrel–fit to roam the streets for food. This isn’t any way to make a decent living, troubling myself with rapish declines in “the very best stocks.” I do have some offsetting measures today, in stocks that I do not dare mention on the free blog for fear that my conspirators might plunge them too. But this is entirely evident to me, as well as others (HORATION CLAWHAMMER, PLUTONIUM PETEY, SENOR TROPICANA) that something is seriously amiss here.

How in the devil could SPLK, FEYE, WDAY and YELP all be down 5%+, on the same day, without news, and with a neutral market? I must be losing my mind because I can’t think of any reasonable conclusions. True, there is weakness in a number of growth names, in favour for the non-growth names; but this, this is too much.

I hereby lift the burden of having to deal with my problems from you forever. Go, go on and run away. Leave and save yourself from whatever plague, black death, that has afflicted me. At this stage, I can only offer you pain and agony and the bitter taste of defeat.

I’m the guy with the broken leg telling his friend to “go on without me” as the enemy horde closes in for the kill. Save yourselves, God damn it, and remember the good days when we used to make money on the internets–playing the game the way it was meant to be played.

For all I know, it’s those damned HFT guys rigging the market against me again.

Maybe I’ll write a book about it.

    This is not the March / April I thought it would be. Maybe… just maybe we make a run in May / June. How much worse can it get?

    You people! The Fly gave you ANGI, AFOP, SALE and iFON but you chose to ignore them, instead you dove headlong into the empty pool with LeSenior without the luxury of a titanium top hat that only The Fly possesses. Soon, the Fly will be winning, while you chickens will sell at the very bottom.

    You’ll make it all back with $IFON. Bouncing off channel bottom, fibs, and all kinds of other shit that you usually needn’t concern yourself with. Should be $5.12 within two weeks.

    Never forget that “Skynet” is in control. We often get to play in the sandbox and believe in reality for a time…but at the end of the day we are at the mercy of seemingly nonsensical events. We are betta fish yanked out of a bowl while a five year old taps the cup and sprays out the bowl with chocolate on their hands…or something..

    I would post the Sun tzu water quote, but I hate that guy right now.

    I’d rather be a Betta fish in a bucket of rum right now.

    So you have all these guys who miss out on best of breed growth companies. Say they are to expensive. Then when they give some back, they all come out of the wood work with their crap statements. My hat is off to you Fly and your analysis! Thank you!

    Riggers of the markets with their superfast super computers stashed in hidden tunnels know what the fly is up to. Their milliseconds happen faster than Fly’s time machine. They front run your best trades scraping off 5% as you enter and exit. But it’s still less than commissions 15 years ago.

    One way to test your thesis that they are out to get you is to go dark for a period during which you keep your trades under the cloak of secrecy. If your fortunes suddenly turn, then perhaps a statistically significant finding might be had.
