Two thousand and fifteen was a Morton’s Fork type of market, with both long and shorts frustrated by the grind. To be fair, opportunistic short sellers cleaned house in a variety of sectors; but there wasn’t any downward momentum in the broader indices. Those who tried to manifest their destiny were expeditiously ushered to the gallows, or worse, the gibbet! It was an invidious year that will be forgotten, so I’ll stop discussing it right now.
For me, the changing of the Gregorian calendar, from one year to the next, represents opportunity. Past grievances, trials and tribulations, can be left behind, replaced by a new normal, a prosperity and happiness that can accrue over time. Everything that you did wrong this year, leave it behind and start anew. Eschew the indecorous loungers, who bog you down and stifle productivity. Form new relationships, habits, and surround yourself with positivity.
Tell the family idiot to place you on the do not call list, for the sake of posterity, if nothing else.
I want to thank all of you for visiting iBC, making it the preeminent destination for serious minded, and wholly belligerent, investors. I intend to bring the fire in 2016, offering a cornucopia of actionable strategies, designed to win on a consistent basis. I haven’t been this excited over my investment prospects since New Year’s eve, circa 2007, when I knew my portfolio of highly levered ETFs would hit pay dirt.
Cheers to the New Year (taps cane onto oak floors).

I want to know what everybody is going to be drinking tonight? Pappy? A special holiday cocktail? Jungle Juice?
I’m planning on a single pour of Bacanora style mezcal.
French martinis
Had to look it up. Sounds wonderful.
Drunks
Adabese- surely someone has a batch of hooch brewing over there in Oz…
Blue label.
Classy af….
Chimay red
Belgian, the original “craft beer”. True brew.
Got a bottle of Hendrick’s gin and a couple strips of acid. Wish me luck!
FryGuy – good luck! That cucumber gimlet recipe that Hendricks recommends is fantastic.
Cheers to everyone on the iBankCoin team and all the gracious traders on Exodus. May you all make outrageous profits in 2016. Raising glass of prosecco.
Spumante & Impalas…..ftw!
Drinking some of the lysergic – of the diethylamide type – ol’ No. 25
A peak performer. I can respect that http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/12019140/Silicon-Valley-professionals-are-taking-LSD-at-work-to-increase-productivity.html
Mimosas
Dignified…and very representative of winship. I have a chocolate mimosa, but it’s a tree.
I’m starting off with beer, Hacker Pschorr, then once the children have gone to bed the Lagavulin will flow. Happy New Year Buccs!
Jersey – Happy New Year. German purity, and then sublime Scottish smoke.. You know how to celebrate. Cheers! (still anxiously awaiting the arrival of that 2015 Lagavulin cask strength 12)
Happy New Year Fly!
All the best to Distinguished Gentlemen and several others everywhere.
I want to know what JungleeGirl will be sipping.. She’s quite particular http://ibankcoin.com/jungleegirl/2015/12/16/tap-stz-no-one-wants-shitty-fucking-beer-anymore/
Have to support the horses. Magnificent creatures. http://www.budweiser.com
Great 2016 for all.
Vampy – surely you troll me.. Anheuser-Busch InBev now owns Goose Island. How about a luxurious “Bourbon County” stout?
Hat tip* Cheers mate.
Happy New Year, Senor Fly!
Happy New Year’s everyone.
Guinness and red wine at Casa de Pope. Happy new year fools. May material fortune fuel actual happiness in all of our lives.
Hopefully that Guinness is the “Foreign Extra” stout. One of the greats.

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!
