CRYING BABIES ARE NOT ALLOWED ON CONFERENCE CALLS!

So I woke up to better-than-expected results from LITB, springing to action, hoping to start my day off profitably. I tune into the conference call and listen carefully, as management does its best to ruin my mood. During the call, a recurring theme is the audible crying of a fucking baby. Yes, an actual baby could be heard crying on the conference call. Don’t get me wrong: I love babies. I’ve created 3 of them.

BUT NOT ON A DAMN CONFERENCE CALL.

Here in America, we do things differently. We run our corporations from large office buildings, where babies are not permitted. They are at home with their mothers or at a day care centre. Perhaps it was “take a baby to work” day in China? One thing is for certain: whoever thought it was a good idea to conduct a conference call with a baby in the background is an idiot, of the first order.

Considering the fact that LITB does 60%+ of their sales in Europe and another 20% in America, they have no excuse to be operating their stupid website from the confines of the orient. I am so pissed off right now, over this baby (lolz), I feel like selling the stock.

Before the call, after looking at the numbers, I considered tripling my position.

    Reminds me of when I listened in on a $SCOK earnings call. It was the worst call I ever heard, it sounded ridiculous, I immediately dumped my stock. Stock ended up tanking later on.

    Maybe it was a short-seller who hacked the phone line & spliced a crying baby into the CC.

    That baby took 50 cents off the bid.

    Has it occurred to you dear Dr. Fly that you have belittled this Ibankcoin website by allowing advertisement above the IBC name? I understand it is prime real estate and most expensive placement and a great revenue maker. but I believe that NO ONE should be or could be above the IBANKCOIN name. Please tell Jeremy to bring down that header of shame!

      Jeremy is against any and all ads.

      It’s I who wanted the ads, only to see if they’re as meaningless as they appear to be. That might sound counterintuitive, but I want to see the ad rates before and after giving them prime real estate.

      Bear with me, as I use you in an experiment of internet commerce.

    Fly – was three kids planned and why not four? Just found out we have a third on the way – all will be under 4 once the third one is born.

      Same. #3 is due Nov 10ish.

      #1 celebrates her 4th birthday the following March.

      It’s going to be exciting, that much is for certain. Most people think you’re crazy enough for just having the third.
