A Dagger Cloaked in Marshedmallows

All is certainly NOT well in Flyville today, as I scowl at the Comcast technical support guy in my house–trying to make my phones work. I am reminded of an olde adage Grandpa Fly used to say: “never order the fish in a steakhouse.” I should’ve kept Verizon for phones and Comcast for my teevee. This idea of a “triple package”, although alluring and somewhat economical, is the devil himself.

Markets are up triple digits; but I am down. All of my doctor stocks are getting their faces punched off, starting with AGIO. Then, catamite in chief of CSCO, talked shit about FEYE last night, suggesting his idiot company wasn’t interested in buying them. So, here I am, all ready to make money and shit, standing here at the prom without a date–nuts in hand.

What is the solution to said misery? Surely I cannot be destined for wanton mediocrity whilst the bears get their arms ripped off by frag grenades.

I wish I had answers for you, lads. I am as upset as you are. Considering how wildly you all root for my achievements, you deserve to see me do well and often.

Clearly I have many other “irons in the fire”, as they like to say. ADRO, YELP, HCA, GILD, SLCA, STZ, PANW and AAPL are all making me some money today. But if I am going to succeed on a very high level, mates, I’m gonna need those fucking doctor stocks to start ratcheting up a few notches.

    I’ve got that triple play BS, the phone portion sits in the basement in a box, it waits for the day I can dump $CMCSA altogether.

      He just earned a ban.

      I ponder the mental health of you gold bugs. Had I mentioned ANY OTHER industry, not a peep.

    Dr. Fly – take the pup and the pipe for a lap around the estate. Surely things will be better upon your return.

    Seriously? I went with Ooma about 10 years ago. Not only is in free (once you buy the box) but international is only $0.02 a minute. This was good when I lived in France and Mrs. Zheeeem lived in the USA. It works really well, we kept our old landline number and got an extra, and the voicemail is excellent.

      Another ooma customer here too. As long as your broadband is stable, it works great and you only pay the phone taxes of a couple bucks (they cut off the free for life machines years ago). For around $15 a month including taxes they have other features including blacklisting numbers of telemarketers etc..

    DISH CEO on CNBS talking about machines being his new customers as Samsung connects your microwave to the network just sent terminator chills down my spine

    I feel your pain. I missed out on the FMSA action all because my 3 year old lost my nice pair of Bluetooth headphones, and I was pissed off to much after my wife also got in a fucking moody over me being pissed off. Suffice to say, this little headphone drama cost me more than 1000 pairs of Beats. Don’t sweat it over FEYE they will rally to over $44 by next week. Be patient…

    I recommend going ATT U-Verse. I used to have Comcast and those ass clowns constantly provided awful service, both on a product and customer service standpoint. Haven’t had one problem with U-Verse.
