I am thankful for being born into this ravenous society, obstacles placed in front of my path. Difficulty levels are orders of magnitude greater now– than ever before.
As a trader and student of the market, I am thankful for all other investors who came before me, imparting their experiences, through the written word, for the benefit of future generations. Right now, I am thankful for Henry Clews’, 28 Years in Wall Street.
It’s fairly obvious to me that making the decision to become a stocked broker was probably the worst decision I ever made. Nevertheless, it has afforded me an existence and this god forsaken stock market, for better of for worse, has provided me with a venue to discuss my thoughts online–building a foundation for what will one day be revered as the single best finance site that was ever created: iBankCoin. I’m a five tool player, son. Get out of my way.
I am thankful for the Tontine Coffee House, NYC, where this NYSE thing all started. The Buttonwood Agreement and that damned tree too: I am thankful. A shout out to the players at the Gallagher’s Evening Exchange. I am thankful for you.
To J.M. Walker: you sold too soon. I am thankful for your mistakes.
Even the losers, I am thankful for you, especially old man Daniel Drew, James C. Flood and Wm. C. Ralston. I’ve learned from your mistakes, more than you probably thought was possible.
At any rate, The Turkey Gods are here. Don’t fight the wave of gravy that is about to crash on you. Embrace it and become the gravy. I’ll see you fuckers on Friday.

You don’t want turkeys hanging out in your trees and wandering around. There is nothing God-like about them unless you are hungry and the slowest one provides sustenance.
I give thanks everyday. I thank Monsieur Le Duc de Fly for being so amusing via his publication even though I do not understand 99% of the discussion and yet, he’s been generous enough so as not to banish me. Amen.

Time to get the .22 out.
Really enjoyed “28 Years” – thanks for the rec. A definite must read for any respectable investor.
@Le Fly, will you please repost your rules for being a gentleman host on Thanksgiving. It was a few years back, 2012? Anyhow hilarious and would love to read it again. Thanks!!
Got my board waxed – I’ll be surfin’ that wave of gravy/.
I have to admit,,I’m enjoying reading the “about fly” blogs from way back. An inspiring read
Fly can you link to the Thanksgiving decorum post so I know when and how to eat my mashed potatoes and/or crannedberries?
“what will one day be revered as the single best finance site that was ever created”
No. But it may well become one of the most influential financial sites ever created. And that, sir, would be the superior accomplishment.
It is the minority that calls the tune, always and everywhere.
Edit: this was a first class “Box Chevy” opportunity.
Happy Thanksgiving Fly!
