THE CHALLENGE IS NOW CLOSED; YOU HAVE ALL FAILED

Let this serve as a monument that both elevates “The Fly” and disgraces all of you. Here I am, willing and able to donate money towards the great cause of ALS, and all you had to do to save lives is pour a single bucket of iced water over your heads.

The results are in.

Out of the thousands of people who visit iBankCoin on a daily basis, in gluttonous search for opportunity to ingratiate themselves, ZERO people accepted my challenge.

A great shame shall be placed upon your house now.

To be honest with you, I am not surprised, not in the least. I expected maybe 5 or 6 “stragglers” taking me up on the challenge, dedicated ‘do-gooders’ trying to save the planet from plague. But I was mistaken. Blackness infects your inner spirit and it has made you into a miser, an opportunist, a regular Eddie Barzoon.

NOTE: I am off for Newport, RI tomorrow and will be hit or miss on Monday and Tuesday.

    Unfortunately, because I am in possession of sensitive state secrets, I cannot partake in the #IcedBucketChallenge. However, being the generous guy/reader that I am, Ripper is willing to donate $0.1 per #IcedBucketChallenge –that our blogfather accepts

    I was trying to do it today, but I couldn’t find a receptacle big enough. I was honestly going to go buy a metal trashed can, solely for this endeavor, tomorrow.

    It’s amazing how such a thing can go viral so quickly in such a huge way.

      Wait until the republic model is abandoned for direct government action in response to social media and viral trending movements.

    Committed to local ALS fundraiser on Sept.7. Friend of mine owns bar/restaurant. Payloader bucket will be filled to the brim with hundred’s of gallons of water by the fire dept, then dumped on many fundraisers.

    I’ll throw a bucket of ice water at the neighbor’s children and tape it. Is that an acceptable trade off.

    Fly, Regarding last weeks 5 holdings blog (btw which I loved), you questioned AAPL as one of my short picks…why I included it in my Jihad was because China is planning to release their own Operating System in Oct to compete against Microsoft and AAPL, that is why I threw it in.
