Thanks For This

I could’ve been anything: a shyster lawyer, astronaut, trash man, CNBC anchor–anything at all. But when I was 10 years old, for no reason whatsoever, I decided that I wanted to be a stock broker. Since then I followed the market and began to invest. Its been a long time since I felt honored to be in this fuckhead of an industry, the NY Mets of career choices.

There isn’t enough money to pay me to do this forever. There will come a day when I wake up and say “fuck it”, hop onto an airplane, and disappear into the rocks of Romania. I know you think Fly is just being Fly; but I am dead serious. Everything is wrong about this industry. I do, however, enjoy the blog and talking about stocks. I also enjoy making money in stocks and dealing with drawbacks. My issue is wasting time.

For example: we all know QE is coming, yet no one will admit it–not even the Fed. We all see TLT and what is transpiring in the commodity markets. All brains are on pause and the circus act continues. So, I have to wait and wait and wait to be proven right, which will eventually happen. From GPRO to FRO, all of my ideas will be proven right, eventually.

I know HABT trades like it invented cancer, which is why I am dollar cost averaging once per month for 12 months. I’ve bought the stock in three months and will continue to buy it for another 9. Using that logic, it is in my best interest to see HABT trade down to $5.

Do you see how stupid this all is?

After a dumb day at work, I get to mope about the house, muttering to myself about how stupid the world is, drowning my thoughts into a large goblet of 2005 Bordeaux.

In the meantime, I get to sift through flaming garbage, taking in the aromas of fatalistic capitalism–betting on its future.

Ironies abound!
