STUFF YOUR FACES WITH HAMMED BURGERS

As the market spins itself into a deadly orbit by which most of you will not escape from, I actually have a stock going higher. It’s an amazing thing, to have an actual, real life, equity trade up.

I’ve been so accustomed to downward trending stocks, seeing SHAK forge ahead is like seeing Santa Claus on Xmas eve, as an 8 year old boy.

“The Fly” could get used to this sort of grandeur, investing into corporations and then seeing that investment increase in value. What a wonderful scheme!

Why, maybe I could parlay these money making ideas into a business where I invest on behalf of others, charging them a fee for the pleasure, and then leverage those relationships to build new ones.

Splendid ideas without boundaries are being shared today.

Maybe after I’ve enjoyed a pittance of success, I could then talk about my winnings on the internet, yelling and cursing at people to my heart’s delight. I might even make a business out of that too.

Who is the Next Biotech Takeover Target?

In light of GILD raising $10 billion in a convertible bond offering, I did a little digging into who might be an attractive acquisition target, not only for them, but any major pharma. This is all speculation on my part. It’s almost impossible to guess which R&D mill will be acquired next, which is why I added in a small caveat of $250 million minimum in annual revenues into my screen.

This way, I am only producing real companies with real businesses. In the event my merger pipe dreams fail, at least I’ll still own a company that could survive on its own, without the help of capital markets to keep it afloat.

Surprisingly, the list of “real” companies with growth, in the biotech space, is rather exclusive.

Here is what I came up with. For Exodus members, the screens are here and here.

HZNP

DEPO

INSY

TECH

LCI

ACOR

ACET

EBS

SGEN

ISIS

INCY

BMRN

ENDP

GRFS

ILMN

MDVN

JAZZ

UTHR

I limited the scope of the screen to companies with market caps below $30 billion, for obvious reasons.

Today’s Wrap Up: Everyone is a Loser

If you’re trying to catch day trades or market time high beta stocks, you landed on green today and the house stole all of your money. In my experience, market’s like this are dangerous. A few mega-cap names mask the hurt underneath, leading to a false sense of optimism. Shares of AAPL, BIIB, GILD, PANW, AMZN trend higher and everyone thinks the coast is clear again.

If you looked under the hood, you’d learn that just 53% of stocks were higher today. A wide swath of names were pummeled into the fucking rocks, bashing brains in and leaving stock brokers strewn out across the dirt to be run over by monster trucks.

This shit is far from over. We need conclusion. We need some sort of news driven event to cast away the demons and scare the shit out of the bears. We need to ruin them.

Keep your margins in line and don’t speculate with all of your money at once. Odds are your first purchase will be wrong. If you go all in on an initial purchase, you become a “weak hand”, who will be flattened the fuck out on the first sign of weakness. But if you’re buying in small increments, you can somehow average your way out into a profitable position, barring some sort of catastrophe.

Offering specific stock ideas is somewhat meaningless today. I think you should focus on structure and how to deal with this whipsaw action first.

Have a look at our Exodus video and sign up now, else face death.

MARGIN CALL TIME, GENTLEMEN

Three different scenarios will play out here; but most people trying to game it will lose.

We continue this fade and dive into the fucking rocks, into the bell, begging for mercy.

Or

The market fades the faders. Margin calls get liquidated. Natural buyers step in, stoking the flames of a short squeeze, running hot into the bell.

Or

We do none of that shit and just sort of limp into the bell, no viagra, no cialis. Just straight up impotency in a great big whore house.

Place your bets you degenerates. I’ll be over here eating sandwiches.

Before You Short That Biotech Stock

Bear  in mind that GILD just did a $10 billion convertible bond offering, usually an early tell on a company’s intentions to buy back shares or making an all cash acquisition.

It’s amazing how hated the medicine man stocks are right now. Look at my ONCE. They hosted a conference call this morning to calm down investor fears of their phase 3 trials, said all good things, and the stock dropped 4 on the open.

You people need to unwind, take it easy, and smoke a few phillied blunts stuffed with marijuana.

The market looks fine. PANW is showing you something and no one is paying attention.

How is CYBR down today?

Both distressed biotech and social media are worth a shot here, if you haven’t already made your 10 billion dollar fortune (extra David Tepper).

The Conference

Can I just say that this investors conference that we are planning is the bane of my existence? I truly regret emeshing myself in it; but the show must go on.

Here’s what we got planned, so far.

1. The Option Addict just emailed me his itineray. Tell me what you think.

Understanding Market Dynamics – How to gauge speed, correlations,patterns, and direction.
Past Versus Present – 2014 vs 2015…What Did We Learn?
Market Rotations – Finding the Next Explosive Move in Stocks

Trading through Different Market Conditions – A fast and slow portfolio
Trading for a Living – Here’s How We Did It

 

2. Josh Brown aka The Reformed Broker was going to show up at the Harvard Club, instead of Yale. Can you believe that? I was almost tempted to have him commit such a grave atrocity.

3. Jeff Macke is being transported by steamboat around the horn of Africa and will be wearing Lulu lemon pants.

 

Also, I am having Ragin Cajun order halloween costumes for all attendees. Trust me when I say, they are very, very scary.

And, finally, I am unsure as to what room to lock down, because many of you ham and eggers wait until the last second to decide whether or not you will attend. So do this for me, will you?

 

Email me @[email protected] and tell me you have an interest in attending. This way I can properly plan for this fucking thing and can get back to leading a life of gentleman speculator in peace. Can you do that for me, you little fuckers?

Yeah, I look forward to seeing you too.

Win “The Fly’s” Facebook Box Giveaway

Because I have nothing better to do with my time, “The Fly” is going to randomly select one of you lucky fuckers, who like our Facebook page, and send you a box filled with “stuff.” I haven’t decided what I will send. But I will send something, nevertheless.

I will do this upon iBankCoin receiving 1,000 likes; because being liked is what I’m all about.

When we reach this minor milestone, I will go shopping for one of you ham and eggers. I might send you a fucking blender. Or, I might just send you a map that leads to a treasure chest filled with shit. Who knows? I am undecided.

If we can attain such a modest level of appreciation in a timely fashion, I will send more boxes filled with shit for every thousand likes.

Why am I doing this?

It’s important that I be permitted to spread my propaganda amongst the maximum number of “readers” possible.

AMERICAN COWARD

You’re all punk-ass bitches. It’s impossible to have a decent market with people like you trading in it, always dumping out, ham and egging it, capital losses abound.

Stocks are now careening lower, reversing nearly 400 points from this morning’s open. How wonderful!

Every second that passes, I lose 5k. When growing up, this is exactly what I envisioned myself doing, getting beat the fuck down, watching the values of my equities fluctuate like temperature in the desert. This is 100% bullshit and all of you are to blame.

I’ve done my part, trying to keep spirits up, buying into the blood, being a man. But not you, the American Coward, sashaying in and out of stocks, taking “rips” and eating potato chips lathered with ranched dressing, stuffing onion rings into and around your big, fat fucking faces.

Fuck you and the horse you rode in on. I shouldn’t have to put up with this sort of chicanery. “The Fly” is an upstanding citizen of the United States, located in the Northeast corridor of these great lands. I’ve built profitable businesses and have dedicated vast swaths of my time to entertain a reader class during times of duress, as well as triumph. I come to work in order to bank coin, and make fun of bears. This whole upside down nature to the markets is insidious, cancerous and wholly unwarranted, even though it’s completely understandable.

For the day, I shed a little more than 1%.

On the Shack Line

I added to my SHAK and TWTR positions, my first average down since I unceremoniously embarrassed myself by buying TWTR at $38.

All in all, the market wants higher. Please give it an excuse to do it.

NOTE: David Tepper will be making a CNBC appearance tomorrow morning at 8am.

BEHOLD: The Inverse Samurai

I was so excited last night, watching Japan shoot higher by more than 1,300 fucking points. I felt their courage and wanted America to bask in it. Our futures were up more than 200, heading into trade. And now we’re up 10 points.

This is typical American bullshit, clowns running around dumping whipped cream pies in each other’s faces. It’s so ridiculous, the process by which we take to effect a rally. We all know it’s coming. However, before it truly can become a reality, first we need to circle jerk about a flaming barrel of garbage, tell our kids scary stories of the great depression, and then worry about every tick lower– for “The Crash is coming.”

Motherfuckers.

Cocksucker, motherfuckers, I command thee to stop acting cowardly and to take what’s rightfully yours: NASDAQS.

The thieves have stolen much from the National Treasury. This is your chance to arrest them, thrust them upon the rack, and have your horses rip their arms and legs from their torsos, as you disembowel them with your gnome hooked hammer.
