        Good for you Fly, I have been waiting for that response. People talk to me the way they talk to you (here), out comes the pliars and the blow torch. No one has the balls to say these things in civilized society.

    You motherfuckers,

    I’ve been doing a public service here since 2006, made money every single year. I get fucked up here in 2014 and the lot of you, the fucking lot of you, go apeshit and throw me into the sewers. Fuck you ingrates. I am going to skin alive each and every single one of you, once I am back on top.

      it’s only mid April Fly. Confident you will be, in the least, back to even well before the end of the year. Probably well higher. Half my trading is intraday, so my year has not been bad – but my good years are not as good as yours. But I am up under 6% thanks to poor choices in staying with ERGX and PCTY too long. I do have a ton of powder though, and actually feel good about the coming months. Not sure I’ll match last year though; that was a beauty – although large portion of gains came November and December so we will see.

      … for the record, not everyone is “apeshit” and eager to “throw you into the sewers” …

      Can’t really understand why anyone can derive so much pleasure and enjoyment from someone else’s setbacks … and then … be so crass and derogatory as to publicly ridicule them in a forum that they are being allowed to post in … by the very person that they are ridiculing !

      Pretty sad commentary on the state of mind of some human beings !

      Chill out Fly. The vast majority appreciate what you do. Some state it and some (the mostly silent lot like myself) don’t, but believe it. Your insight is immeasurable and one cannot expect things to go according to plan all the time. There are few that have had your success (and the fact that you share it with others is an added bonus). I cannot begin to thank you for the financial help and the personal entertainment you have provided over the years. The prodders are enjoying their day in the sun, as they have been on the losing end for years on end.

      I was conveying how I felt at the time. It’s not a good feeling to get punched in the fucking nuts over and over again. Sure, I can put on the bravado act and make believe it isn’t happening, but that would be fake.

      I’m a real guy, with some BIG ASS LOSSES and I’ve never been in this position before.

      Fly is not like your Wall Street pundit type person, pretending to never have losses, pretending to never be freaked out by the markets.

      Everyone is freaked out by the market at times. Everyone loses a bunch of money sometimes. The people who act like they don’t are not the gods they pretend to be. They are just fakes.

      People want to follow roles models and become like those supposedly perfect market gurus. But you can’t. Because no one is really like that.

      It’s like the women who want to look like the models in the magazines. The models in the magazines don’t look like the models in the magazines either. The photos are touched up and changed to make them into a fake ideal of perfection.

      That’s the problem with all the stock guru advertising and punditry. People try to sell you things that don’t exist. You end up chasing windmills.

      ‘FIRST NATION” gave away your Canuckistani heritage. This northern burg is screwed because we won’t deal with the “First Nation” BS. The politician who comes along and says OK we’ve thrown billions of dollars at the aboriginal issues in Canuckistan and enough is enough. Unlike the USA, we did not declare war on the aboriginals, we cut a real estate deal which has been broken by the aboriginal signatores numerous times. Today I read that some 200 member BC band thinks they can say NO to the Northern Gateway pipeline — aboriginal extortion at it’s finest. Give me a politician who will say “we’re building it, you aboriginals will be more than adequately compensated for it; but take your pseudo cultural objections and take a hike”. Oh, BTW the guy who runs one of my manufacturing operations is a red card carrying indian and he completely agrees with me.

    “There have only been two other times in the past 20 years that the Nasdaq Composite had dropped more than 8% from its 52 week high, but the VIX “fear gauge” was still below 17.5, a scenario we have now. It shows relative complacency in the face of a sell-off in higher beta stocks.

    Those two occurrences were March 28, 2002 and May 15, 2008. The S&P 500 sold off more than 15% over the next three months both times. “

    Fly I hope you sell next week….we need you to live to fight another day.

    It really seems the odds of these particular stocks returning to their former glory is quite low. And holding through earnings is a crapshoot of mega-proportions. Being down 35% or whatever is a deep hole, but recoverable over time.

    Being down 60% is probably not.

      Huggie,

      There is no reason for Fly to sell. He has violated Trading101 in the past and won big.

      Chances are, his stocks will rebound and he will cock a snoot at all of us who are feeling sorry for him now.

      But more importantly, he is managing OPM! He will still get the 2 (in the 2 &20), and in any case, with less dosh under management next year, who can bet against him ripping it, playing penny stocks?

    Let’s not do that. The market has given us a severe shock. But insulting one another won’t help.

You guys are losing your subscribers money because you don’t know how to adapt to the market environment, and you only rely on 1 tool; technicals analysis. Yall are a bunch of noobs. One of your past subscribers switched to my service, and damn was he happy. He made back the 2 month losses he had here with my service in 2 days. Anyways any of you knuckleheads want to challenge me? Stock picking, market index picking..It doesn’t matter to me. I want your subscribers, and I want to own all of you.

    Oh and.. yeah this time.. no this time it’s different. NO really. Seriously. This summer will suck so bad! Yeah. Down big, everybody suddenly sees reality and we crash down to 6000.

    Gimmie a damn break. Go sell. Go short. Freak out. Obama and crew are not going out with a whimper. You’ll get your 18,000 in 2 years and all your shorts need to bookmark this post when you come crying and whining how manipulated and shitty the market is.

      +1 I’m so sick of hearing all this market crash, the market is inflated, end the fed, the top is here nonsense that I actually want to see the market crash now. Not a 2008 pussy fart, a real motherfucking crash. I hope everyone loses their fucking jobs and people are murdering one another on the streets over half a bagel. If that’s what these people want than let’s do this shit for real. I hope zero hedge’s headquarters get raided by investors who lost everything and they hang Tyler Durden upside down in the middle of the city square, Mussolini style, while the poor children beat him like a fucking pinata. I hope people get so poor that CNBC’s ‘top trading experts’ have their children kidnapped at gun point for ransom money. I hope people beat Peter Schiff (sp) to death with gold bars and DDD shareholders capture Jon Fitchorn (sp) and torture him with ice picks. I’m sick of these ‘holier than thou’ ‘value investors’ who know every fucking thing about the stock market and wont buy a single share until stocks are trading at 1X earnings. Fuck you people. If you’re holding cash, I hope it fucking burns, along with your family as the now poor ‘growth investors’ burn your fucking house down. Are you fucking pussies that greedy and selfish that you need the entire system to collapse until you decide to buy 10 shares of AAPL? I hope you wake up and your account has gone to zero because it got fucking hacked by Sergei and Pavel in Russia. Let’s crash this mother fucker.

    Story time.

    I have read this blog since the financial crisis in 2008. Almost 6 years ago, goddamn. I did some some prop trading in NYC, another job in NYC, and now MBA, but I have never been able to pull myself away from the markets. This blog has kept me sane through the ups and downs of the market and made me realize the people who do this for a living are just as crazy as they should be. I am probably done. I have realized that the thrill of winning does not outweigh the despair of losing, especially as you get older. I am glad I can realize this after a relatively bad period in the market.

    Playing the market only breeds the rawest emotions in your mind and doesn’t allow you to become the fullest person you can.

    I am sick of worrying. I am sick of the feeling of superiority. It’s a game that will always be played by people who will end up losing. The wealthiest money managers aren’t happy in the real sense of the word.

    Off to Synergy, Corporate Finance, Leverage, Face-Time, Out-Of-The-Box™ thinking for me.

    That’s where happiness is…. good luck everyone.

    Essential Addendum:

    I have made a lot of money ‘following’ the fly’s idea’s. FTK netted me enough to pay for this stupid MBA. BALT netted me enough to pay for the stupid expenses during it. And FEYE and SPLK have made me nervous enough to make sure I get a good job after

    it’s only because this year you got caught so obviously flat footed you parade in your losses as a token of “humility”.

      I can only speak for myself, as Chess and RC did great during this recent pullback.

      The answer is this, which has been repeated numerous times:

      I DONT HAVE A FUCKING SYSTEM, asshole. I do not solicit anyone for my picks. Everything I post here for free. I have created a powerful analytical engine that can help anyone with their investment decisions. It’s software that does an excellent job at mean reversion.

      Did I listen to my own software during this pullback?

      No.

      Am I upset with myself over it?

      Fucking A.
