If the Markets Are So Great, Why Are Finance Sites Struggling to Attract Readers?

As markets continue to break record highs, the echelon of premier finance sites in America continues to undergo deleterious drawdowns in their traffic. Anyone who operates a finance site knows that lack of volatility is the death knell for traffic. People aren’t interested in reading about stocks, generally speaking, when markets are effervescently gliding towards new highs. They are, in fact, keenly interested in horrible news and/or rapidly declining equity prices.

According to data provided by Alexa.com, sites solely focused on finance have struggled, mightily, especially in recent months. Part of it has to do with boring markets — but another working theory is the recent news cycle dominated by politics.

Note that sites that mix geopolitical events with finance are doing a lot better, as of late.

And a look at an ETF representative of the VIX index.

Notice a correlation?

One my favorite market tells is the correlation between traffic spikes and market bottoms. Here is a look at the traffic at iBankCoin from July of 2015 to March of 2016. Markets bottomed, from a calamitous drop of more than 10%, which was the worst start to a new year on record, on February the 8th, 2016.

In short, we’re gonna need a market crash in order to reverse the insipid digital trends in finance.

Thus far, President Trump has delivered on every single campaign pledge, in less than 2 weeks time. The only missing element to his agenda, h, by the way, was voted on and approved by the people, is a full investigation and prosecution of Hillary Clinton.

It looks like the wheels are starting to move on that front too. Jason Chaffetz, Chair of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, has demanded that the FBI turn over all of Hillary’s emails, which were stored on a backup server.

I don’t think Trump will be very active in this process, instead letting his new AG (Sessions) trailblaze a path to prison for Hillary. After all, what’s the point of draining the swamp when the biggest swamp creature is walking around on land enjoying the fruits of her malovolent deeds?

It’s the year of the cock, after all.

Leftard protesters are running wild again, hitting up airports around the country — demanding that we let in muslim migrants. God willing, we will bring in a great deal of them, so then we could implement sharia law and shut those fuckers up once and for all. The whole lot of them…straight off the roof.

Back to serious Fly, protesters construed the ban as more of the same, MUH white supremacy. Ever notice how many white men lived in Russia? MUH, exactly.

Here they are, in all of their faggotried glory.

What is the surprise here? A temporary restriction on immigration from places designated as high risk, of course, would entail restricting people entry into the country. Whether this is morally right or wrong, I leave to people who actually give a fuck. If the country wants unfettered immigration from regions of the world that are literally swimming in shit and populated by reprobate savages, so be it. I’ll thrive under those conditions even more than the present.

Now to the important topic of the two finger rule.

We’re all keenly aware of the many restrictions the wonderful religion of Islam imposes on the countries they rule over, such as gays being tossed off rooftops, genital mutilation in Egypt, or Saudia Arabian women not being permitted to drive cars. But those are boring and moribund. Let’s shoot on over to the very moderate nation of Indonesia, home of the two finger rule for women trying to join the military.

In the test, known as the “two-finger test”, the doctor deduces the state of the hymen – a thin piece of membrane attached to the vaginal wall – and the size and so-called laxity of the vagina.

The test is supposed to assess whether a woman has had sex, but the state of the hymen offers little to answer this question, HRW says. They say a hymen may vary in size for many reasons unrelated to sex. It partly covers the vaginal opening and does not “seal it like a door”.

Yes, we must make sure her door is sealed before being permitted into military service.

Interestingly, we never hear about the left protesting stuff like this. The last thing I want to do is wonder why that is — because I don’t give a fuck. These people have their agenda, wholly bent on anti-white racism and acceptance of all things not from the west. Any psychologist would surmise this behavior to be self-loathing and destructive —  a sort of dementia when taking into account they’re willingly ignorant of the events occurring all around them.

Back to the immigration ban.

A judge from Brooklyn blocked deportation of immigrants detained in airports. I am perfectly fine with this. Let the courts fight it out.

U.S. District Judge Ann Donnelly in New York issued the emergency order after lawyers for the American Civil Liberties Union filed a court petition on behalf of people from seven predominantly Muslim nations who were detained at airports across the country as the ban took effect.

The judge’s order affected only a portion of Trump’s executive action. As the decision was announced, cheers broke out in crowds of demonstrators who had gathered at American airports and outside the Brooklyn courthouse where the ruling was issued.

We are living in the best timeline.

These people are idiots. When the next terrorist attack happens on American soil, I am sure they’ll blame some white guy first, then apologize for some muslim guy next. They have no business being charged with running this country. They’re subjects only worthy to rule over.

UPDATE: Yes, only worthy to be ruled over. Their power levels are quite low.

In response to Trump’s ban on refugees and blacklist from several muslim nations, the NY Times spent their morning offering inane anecdotal stories of exceptional people being blocked from reentering the United States. This is the very definition of dishonest reporting, as it draws on the emotional strings of empathetic people, deceptively supported by weakly sourced and illogical anecdotal stories designed to generate refugee sympathy. It goes without saying, not all refugees are violent reprobates. The whole point of the temporary ban on migration from countries deemed a credible risk by the Trump administration is to freeze things, while his administration figures out a way to improve the current immigration system, which is widely viewed as horribly flawed and has led to number national security failures and acts of terror on US soil.

In an effort to expedite the reading of their pro-immigration missive, I took liberties to translate it for the readers.

Here are a few examples of NYT shitposting —  aka dishonest reporting.

Reports rapidly surfaced Saturday morning of students attending American universities who were blocked from getting back into the United States from visits abroad. One student said in a Twitter post that he would be unable to study at Yale. Another who attends the Massachusetts Institute of Technology was refused permission to board a plane. Stanford University was reportedly working to help a Sudanese student return to California.

Leftard logic translation: All refugees are brilliant scholars who attend MIT, Yale and Stanford. Credible reports from random unknown people on fucking Twitter assert that these modern day Einsteins are being denied reentry into the United States.

Seyed Soheil Saeedi Saravi, a leading young scientist in Iran, had been scheduled to travel in the coming days to Boston, where he had been awarded a fellowship to study cardiovascular medicine at Harvard, according to Thomas Michel, the professor who was to supervise the research fellowship.

But Professor Michel said the visas for the student and his wife had been indefinitely suspended.

“This outstanding young scientist has enormous potential to make contributions that will improve our understanding of heart disease, and he has already been thoroughly vetted,” Professor Michel wrote to The New York Times. “This country and this city have a long history of providing research training to the best young scientists in the world, many of whom have stayed in the U.S.A. and made tremendous contributions in biomedicine and other disciplines.”

Leftard logic translation: Brilliant Iranian student denied reentry into the United States to study at Harvard. Ergo, the future of cardiovascular research stands on the precipice of ruin.

A Syrian family of six who have been living in a Turkish refugee camp since fleeing their home in 2014 had been scheduled to arrive in Cleveland on Tuesday, according to a report in The Cleveland Plain Dealer. Instead, the family’s trip has been called off.

Danielle Drake, a community relations manager at US Together, a refugee resettlement agency, told the newspaper that Mr. Trump’s ban reminded her of when the United States turned away Jewish refugees during World War II. “All those times that people said, ‘Never again,’ well, we’re doing it again,” she said.

On Twitter, Daniel W. Drezner, a professor at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, posted an angry message for Mr. Trump after the executive order stopped the arrival of a Syrian family his synagogue had sponsored.

It was unclear how many refugees and other immigrants were being held nationwide in relation to the executive order.

Leftard logic translation: A Syrian refugee family of 6 were supposed to come to the United States to live off the public dole. However, they’ve canceled said plans and will now have to stay in the shithole called ‘Turkey.’ Therefore, this is no different from Jews being turned away during World War 2. Also, it’s worth noting, the family was being sponsored by a synagogue, which instantly means they’re fantastic people who would contribute greatly towards building a utopian society.

In Cairo on Saturday, five Iraqis and one Yemeni, all of whom had valid immigration visas, according to airport officials, were barred from boarding an EgyptAir flight headed to New York, The Associated Press reported.

It was not clear if any of the six passengers had already been granted refugee status.

Leftard logic translation: Trump’s blacklist of Iraq and Yemen have already stopped 6 people from entering the United States. More importantly, did they have refugee status? The world awaits answers.

In Istanbul, during a stopover on Saturday, passengers reported that security officers had entered a plane after everyone had boarded and ordered a young Iranian woman and her family to leave the aircraft.

Iranian green card holders who live in the United States were blindsided by the decree while on vacation in Iran, finding themselves in a legal limbo and unsure whether they would be able to return to America.

“How do I get back home now?” said Daria Zeynalia, a green card holder who was visiting family in Iran. He had rented a house and leased a car, and would be eligible for citizenship in November. “What about my job? If I can’t go back soon, I’ll lose everything.”

Leftard logic translation: Evil Turks, allegedly, boarded a plane and ordered a young Iranian woman and her family to get off the aircraft.  Then they skipped over to some person named Daria Zeynalia, unrelated to the Turkish airplane incident (deceptively, they made them seem related), and discussed the plight of a woman who was denied reentry into the US, even though she had rented a house and leased a car in America. If unable to get back into America, SHE MIGHT LOSE HER JOB TOO.

Shadi Heidarifar, a philosophy student recently admitted to New York University, said in a message on Twitter that she had spent three years applying to universities in the United States.

“I had to work to save money, gather documents. The application fees were so expensive that a whole family could live for a month” on them, Ms. Heidarifar wrote. When she was accepted recently, she was elated. “But now my entire future is destroyed in one second.”

Leftard logic translation: Some gal on Twitter, dubbed ‘Shadi’, said she spent three whole years trying to get into American universities. She had to save a lot of money in order to apply to them — because the MUH fees were out of control. The fees were so god damned large, the cost was the same as supporting an entire family in Shadi’s country for an entire month! After finally gaining acceptance, she was thrilled, even though the lurid fees were mind boggling and also insane. But now, thanks to Hitler-Trump, her entire future has been destroyed — because Shadi’s home country is, apparently, unable to produce anything but poverty and sadness

Trump offered his take this morning in a tweet.

The failing @nytimes has been wrong about me from the very beginning. Said I would lose the primaries, then the general election. FAKE NEWS!

I know conservatards hate Maher. I happen to like him. While I may not agree with most of his politics, he isn’t a beta male bitch — cowing to social justice warriors and Islamic bullshit.

He’s a true liberal, leaning towards libertarian on a sundry of subjects.

Here’s classic Maher describing how the democrats lost and why the libtards in their party are fucking reprobate pussies, crazy fucking idiot morons who should fuck off.

Protesters, by definition, have nothing better to do with their lives than start trouble, especially those who are protesting against absolutely nothing.

This is one of the worst beat downs I’ve seen in quite some times, proof that liberalism is a mental disorder.

This is a clown-rape of unimaginable circumstances. I’d hate to say I’ve never seen anything like it before, since I probably have. When you’ve been doing this for as long as I have, you get grizzled and immune to fuckery — as it is part and parcel of the investing narrative.

But the level of sheer fuckery taking place in $DRYS is certainly worthy of a post — off by 92% for 2017 and a laughable -85% over the past two weeks.

Interestingly, I had bought this piece of shit a few weeks ago and sold it last week for a very short term loss of half my investment. The company has been doing 1 for 8 reverse splits like they were going out of style. Each time it reverses, the stock goes down 90%. I can see this occurring for the rest of time, an eternal and neverending torture for longs — supported by zombie ships floating like pieces of shit across the seven seas.

In response to all of this hurt, DRYS bought another ship a few weeks ago.

There hasn’t been any news — a total and complete blackout — and the exchange doesn’t think the shares should be halted. After all, an 85% drop after 2 weeks of jaw-dropping declines, on no news, is totally normal.

YOU’VE BEEN FUCKED, Greek style.

Someone should place this good thinking democratic congresswoman on the suicide watch list. For the foreseeable future, she should avoid working out at gyms and taking midnight strolls to her local pub.

After coming back from Syria, where she met with the only legitimate leader of there, President Assad, Rep. Gabbard told fucked face, Jake Tapper, that every single person she encountered asked her why America was supporting ISIS and other terror groups on the ground, in an attempt to overthrow the government.

Tapper quickly replied with his CIA issued talking points, saying the US only supports ‘moderate rebels’, which she replied, wittingly, ‘there are no moderate rebels in Syria.’

I don’t have a particular opinion on Assad, one way or another. All I know, from Syrian friends of mine, is that under Assad there was a very moderate and open society of people — led by a strong arm government of secularists. The fuckers trying to overthrow him, our ‘moderate allies’, are reprobate throw backs to the 9th century — attemping to install theocratic rule.

Perhaps that’s our goal? Maybe the House of Saud has oil/gas pipeline designs through Syria and into Europe?

Liquidity fears at Sears. Who would have thought it’d be possible?

“Although Sears has been able to fund its continued cash shortfalls through planned asset monetization, and additional financings, a meaningful business turnaround in fiscal 2017 is critical given the continued reduction of its asset base”, said Moody’s VP Christina Boni. “We expect operating cash flow to approach a disappointing loss of $1.5 billion for fiscal 2016.”

Shares of $SHLD have been hammered to pieces this year, off by 22% so far. There hasn’t been any new, dreadful news, other than credit agency warnings. We all know how this story ends, yes?

But the more important aspect to this story is the overall state of retail. Share price performance has been nothing short of dreadful for 2017.

Here are some standouts.

$JCP -22%
$SHLD -22%
$KSS -21%
$SHOS -19%
$M -19%
$RH -15%
$PIR -16%
$CBK -43%
$SSI -37%
$ZUMZ -14%
$JWN -11%

This is hardly the pin action for a robust economic environment, is it?

Seriously, Eddie Lampert should either kill himself or volunteer to become Jeff Bezos’ new catamite.

The populistic policies of Trump aren’t unique to the American people. In recent years, we’ve seen an otherwise forlorn populous, under globalist control, rise up and reject the status quo — in places like Great Britain, Italy, France, S. Korea and all across Eastern Europe.

The efforts of multinational corporations to reduce expenses, while coercing an aspirational American public to spend beyond their means, has reached an ebb tide and the easterly winds of discord have unchastened. A crest fallen nation of once pliable subjects have, heretofore, made it be known that the whores of Babylon will no longer be accepted in government.

The gauche and the privy have benefitted, immeasurably, under the auspices of a corrupt system designed to control people by impoverishing them and denigrating the fabric of mankind: family.

I’ve never cared about any of this stuff, well maybe a little — in between spending my high income and taking for granted my lifestyle that is the envy of most people on this planet. For the most part, I do as I like, when I want, however the hell I want to do it.

So why am I putting myself through the meat grinder of politics, when in fact, I could wistfully drift off through the catacombs of finance, ignoring the crimes and the ageless grifters that are all part and parcel of any power structure, during any time, for as long as people have lived?

I suppose I’m somewhat of a sentimentalist, introspective and empathetic to the plight of others.

I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth, more of a rusted one. The vast majority of my childhood friends have done nothing productive with their lives, making me something of an anomaly.

That being said, I’m not without fault and know that my opinions aren’t universal truths. We’re all just running around in circles, tossing mashed potatoes at one another.

I don’t hate anyone for their political beliefs and wouldn’t have an issue with the vast majority of you liberal retards. I just despise stupid and the garrulous sloth. To behave in such a manner is indecorous and unbecoming of gentlemanly traditions.

Trump is bearing great gifts of freedom, independence and putting American interests first. It’s a theory worth exploring, fucked faces.
