Reflecting on my True Calling

I should’ve been an assassin or vigilante, instead of this stock shit. At this point in my life, I cannot go around killing people because I have a family to raise. I am hoping by the time they are on their own, I’ll be able to pursue my true passion, which is afflicting harm onto others.

The innocents will not be touched, mind you. I’d simply go about my days tracking down child abusers, puppy killers and people who I find to be vulgar. You know the guy on the highway who cuts you off, just for the sake of doing it? I’d kill him too.

Overall, the upward surge of humanity shall continue–because there are more of us than there are of them. If, for example, the world were to be controlled by ISIS and people of their ilk, well then, I think it’s fair to say society would devolve into chaos and we’d roll back thousands of years of progress. The romans were more advanced than most of the ‘warriors’ who live in that part of the world.

Whether you like it or not, people, the barbarians are at the gate. Look around you. All you need is a spark for the primates to go ape shit and then they’ll be barging in on you while you’re eating supper, asking where the ladies are located for expeditious raping.

Wall street is an especially vulgar place to work, which is why I don’t work there anymore. I used to travel in and work in a nice big fancy building, bark at my sales assistants and give 50% of my income away to some loser in a three piece suit. Now I do my own thing, and often work from my home office, which lends a certain convenience to this harsh and terrible business.

This is a business of circumstance, skill and chance. Hard work is always something to toss out there, as a badge of honor for others to respect. But don’t throw that shit onto my desk. I’ll kill you for it, literally. If you’re gonna trade for a living, ‘hard work’ is a pre-requisite. Just because you spent 100 hours trying to build a house– that doesn’t mean said house is going to be built right. Do you know what I’m saying?

You have to be smart and ruthless to succeed here. The losses are part of the course and your wives are obstacles in your way to grandeur.

Never forget that and always remember that the only difference between the guy driving the lambo and your sorry hyundai driving ass is time, and a whole lot of circumstance–if you know what I mean.

    The one thing I want is a billion dollars so I can basically do and say whatever I want. 500 million might do it.

    I kind of admire Peter Thiel on that point….dude does not give one fuck.

      That sort of thinking is Third Estate and I am very sorry to say that to you.

      Let’s be realistic in our goals, shall we?

      Let’s work on one million at a time.

    When I was a child, I can remember many a time hearing my father fantasize aloud his desire to fashion a cattle-plow to the front of his pickup so that he could administer road justice…
    He took rude treatment on the streets so personal.

    ‘Wives are obstacles’ – so true – but without mine, I might be dead by now. They provide the grounding that we ‘live wires’ need.

    I am surprised you work at home and I guess that nixes my plan for asking you for a job for my kid. I had envisioned a Dr. Fly World HQ. Maybe he could carry your axes or guns for you when you start the quest.

    Isn’t this the script from Falling Down if Gordon Gekko was the main character? By the way, damn autocorrect wanted to change Gekko to Hero. Bastages.

    You rock. Problem is once your kids are launched on their own you are too fxxing tired to assassinate those that need it.

    When I was about 19 I spent hours plotting ways I could kill rapist and murderer Paul Bernardo and get away with it.

    Hi Fly, I know that earlier this year you had posted that you were down almost 40% at one point! I’m not sure if you have already posted this but have you managed to get close to break even again? I know you have had some great successes since then, so I was just curious if you wouldn’t mind sharing where you stand now. Thanks.

    my goals are small right now….to make back-to-back years of 6 figure gains.

    I got lucky in ’08 shorting into the waterfall decline but couldn’t make ’09 happen. This time will be different, and it’s because of Jeff and iBankcoin.

    We all need to stay humble and know we aren’t the source of our own success, our abilities are a gift from a greater power. Nice piece

    The best way to rid humanity of evil is become a “Dexter”. Identify the bad, stalk them and get rid of them.

    Just turned on CNBC for a minute and it appears BABA will be buying all of the internet related stocks in USA.
    Jokesters.
    Are the insiders at BABA ordering Chinese takeout?

    Fuck Chiner crap – rainbows, gumdrops and unicorns. Lemmings…

    Accumulating TRN, WAB, and ARII over the next two weeks. Good companies in the right place at the right time. “Positive Train Control” and changes to CFR49 are very beneficial to the good companies in the rail biz.
