Thank You, Happy New Year’s to You and Yours

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).

    Happy New Year Dr. Fly, and all of iBC.

    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.

    HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!

    —–

    May 2016 be prosperous for “traders” … both SHORT and LONG … and also bring more of an understanding that without BOTH Bears and Bulls … NO MARKET EXISTS !!!

    That seems to git forgotten here at times !!! imo
