After the gym, instead of drinking a glass filled with chalky protein powder, I will drink an entire, mind you, bottle of red wine (white is for women). As of late, I’ve been getting into the Nebbiolo grape, instead of my preferred Bordeaux. To pair the red, I will grill up a 2 1/2 inch thick ribeye, heavily salted, lightly peppered, served medium rare.
Do you know why I am going to do this, aside from the fact that I can? It’s because the mother-fucking market tried to rape me this week–but I escaped intact. At the open of yesterday’s trade, I was at the lows, down another 2.5%. But I closed up almost 3%. This morning, I gapped up 4%.
These are significant returns, lads. I didn’t endure the sort of fucked up draw-downs that many of your neighbors had, because I was old manned up in utilities and REITs.
So, having said that, still up 1.9% for the session, I deserve to celebrate the great feat of avoiding my own rape.
I know it’s a hard time to invite you, but I will do so nevertheless. Come out to Vegas this November 8th and join the crew, hosted by Ragin Cajun, Jeff Macke, and Howard Lindzon, with keynote speeches by our very own Option Addict. Now more than ever, it’s important that we figure out these puzzles, whilst throwing people off balconies, for the sake humanity and all that is good with capitalism. We endeavor to assist you in this quest.
In other news, the good folks at iBankCoin have just about finished their first Income Report, soon to be release to the massing hordes.

Might as well bathe in that wine too (xtra A’mare)
Nice, looks good. Cain does impeccable work. He’s been a notable read since inception.
Excellent choice with the Nebbiolo. Piedmont has some of my favorite tasting wines alongside the French. Nebbiolo has amazing versatility for a single grape. Some of them taste of truffle and others of anise.
better lay off the salt or you’ll have a pulse equal to the SPY
no conference for me this year, not after the last month
Also a fan of red wine.
Do you like GSMs? Have you had any? I was unfamiliar until a couple years ago. There is an entire universe of wine just within this three grape blend. Each vintner seems to have his/her [jk] own take on it.
I tend to stick to old world wines

Sir Fly, do yourself a favor and have a “loaded” baked potato with that Ribeye !
You’ve earned the carbs !
.
Alf
I cannot sin like that. Sorry
.
… “sin” ???

For Gawd’s Sakes Man … it’s a baked potato … NOT a HOOKER !!!
I’m guessing the Cheese Cake dessert is out of the question !

Life is too short !!!

Unpermitted paeleo.
Maybe Le Fly doesn’t want to become a fat ass like every single person in Texas.
.
… jerk-off !!!
.
.
… did you …
ah hem … “butter-Fly” that 2 1/2 inch Ribeye before slappin’ it on the grill ?

Thank you !
Thank you, very much !
Don’t forget to tip your waitress !!!

G’nite everybody !!!

Hey fool, have a Barolo. You’ll thank me later.
I’m going to take today’s gains, and treat myself to a dinner at Perkins.
Boo-Urns
*throws mountain of valueline papers in fire*
Always glad when you do well Fly. I think I will enjoy some Polish vodka over ice, and as they say in the Cote D’Ivoire, bon appetit.
1) Drink the protein anyway. Don’t deprive yourself, even with the certain prospect of adult beverages later. Your cells will thank you.
2) Lightly peppered steak is an abomination, and I have to question your judgment there.
Having said that, looking forward to Vegas and the Income Report.
Income report – intriguing. JE is a piece of shit; stock and company. I particularly hate it for having one of its its teenaged salesman knock on my door. Is anything sold successfully door-to-door these days?
Fly you listen to Savage. You don’t feel “E” the wondervirus could become let’s say epic? You have full faith and confidence that Obama/Leadership will not bungle what they have already further?
Fly is just entertained by Savage. Watching fear mongers on the Internet, TV, radio etc. gets you nowhere. The chances of an Ebola epidemic in the U.S. are very near to zero. See the cartoon below for a more realistic view.

Entertained by a double Masters PhD?
Btw, I didn’t say, US.
Do you realize, the
small Relative number
It would take. For
economic structure to…
At minimum, consider consuming some branched-chain amino acids in lieu of your typical protein.
We need PPT 2.0 !!!
Sorry I’m late. Ebola traffic.
Income reports. Fucking awesome.
The Fly is God.
Kansas produces a bitchin strawberry-peach wine. $10 a case. Load up.
I’ll pass on anything from Kansas
hahahahahahahahaha
Did he he just recommend “strawberry-peach wine”? Open hand slap across the Internet face!
Sure, grab a few cans of it, chedda. Mmmmm, you’ll lose use of your tongue for a few days after the 3rd can, but, what the hay…
If by chance you are coming to Vegas, you and only you will know who I am, as I intend to slap fire out of your face for that wine recommendation.
.
… does Jeff Macke know who you are ?
Curious !
.
.
… obviously, he is familiar with your Internet persona … that’s not what I mean !
Does he KNOW who YOU are ?
.
.
… actually, miss him on Fast Money !

Alf
Not really.
Unfortunately that weekend I have already been summoned for a trek deep into flyover country (reference to Kansas was not arbitrary) to a family wedding. My attendance of the Las Vegas event, I am told, is not a substitute of equals for this time.
I am in contact with the Department of State though, trying to determine if Kansas is indeed still a part of the USA, or if I need passport and vaccinations before entering. They weren’t certain and are researching.
As for the slap, I will find a case of the wine and have it rushed to the event for your pleasure. Substitute a slap of Macke for me for getting taken off CNBC.
You are the guy cornering the cocoa butter futures.
Branched, chained amino acids
Do we know too much? This bounce seems so damn easy. Everyone is predicting it will go into November. I even feel that way.
But, that scares me. I’ve seen the sentiment surveys at crazy lows.
I know in a correction, that is good to go long on as a contrarian indicator.
I have seen many a tweets of people eating steak tonight, in celebration.
Monday may be a bloodbath.
Monday will be a divine short squeeze.
We trade up until wednesday.
.
… Sunday the 19th is the 27th anniversary of the ’87 CRASH !!!
*** 508 points ***
Monday the 20th could be a “jittery” trading day !!!
—–
This “MARKET” is just lookin’ for an excuse to GO LOW !!! IMO
.
God help me, but as much as I always enjoy seeing his comments on iBC, have to agree with Alf’s ultimate prediction here.
Monday morning gap up then disappointment.
I think you might get kicked in the nuts next week, so drink up and have another rib eye!
Whatever one does. Make sure it is what one wants. Some like drugs and hookers. Some like family and gym’s. The worst thing one can do is fake it.
If AAPL misses earnings Mr. Market will rip your nuts off Tuesday. With that said I sold my UVXY puts for a tidy some. Where is that degenerate who was recommending that stink bomb as a sound long. Shame is upon you; oh and you smell like Susan Boyle
.
Fly … Do you see a future here at ibc … when we could actually imbeb videos, charts, stuff … in our posts ?
So that they are SEEN and a part of the post … rather than some dubious link … to click on !

COME ON MAN !!!
LONG OVER DUE !!!

COME ON MAN !!!!!

SERIOUSLY !!!

Ibc is old school and will never succumb to modern eccentricities. Our offices still use gas lamps instead of electricity.
Hahaha… Class!
I remain unconvinced that the ‘speculation of the possibility of an easing of the tapering’ is enough to put a bid under this market.
Yellen has to be seen to be throwing her knickers in the wind!
