It Was a Trap

Everyone got suckered into the Fed announcement, mocking the fiscal cliff as old hat. A friend of mine will be attending the White House holiday dinner tonight. I hope to learn about some shady deal by tomorrow.

Today’s sell off is catastrophic. It marks the very top of tops of 2012, until we jettison the fuck higher tomorrow of course.

Just like in life, the stock market is a casino. Sometimes you get rich, other times you end up with a tin can begging for coffee money. One thing is for certain, the crowd is rarely right, with exception to shorting social media stocks down 75%. We’re all too optimistic. What this country needs is a forceful correction, to wash out the unemployed and liquidate the disabled. I intend to neutralize a great many in the recession of 2013, conforming to the very basic darwinistic instincts that are within me.

I feel like a stupid fool, buying into JRCC and BZH today, although I am bullish for more than a day. If there is one thing to be certain of, it is upheaval.

Chaos is right around the corner and it’s begging for you to look at it the wrong way.

At the time of this blog, “The Fly” was long SWHC.

NOTE: At midnight, iBC will be holding elections to anoint its next 3 tabbed bloggers. In case you’re just tuning in, Chuck Bennett dropped out due to reports of ‘sexual indiscretions.’ Early polling suggests dark horse candidate, Maximus, is amongst the front runners, following “The Fly’s” endorsement and subsequent moral backing.

SOLD!

Everything was so good just 30 minutes ago. But now, all of a sudden, the markets are going lower.

OH NO!!

The news was good, but is now being sold to the quickest buyer.

As an aside, I’m hearing the dick-grabbers in Congress are fixing to legalize online poker for only the big players. Stocks that might benefit, in a tremendous way are WYNN, LVS, BYD and MGM.

I’m still incredibly bullish on gold and silver. Top pick is EXK.

Back in the Mine

I wasn’t gonna go back into the mine until Benjamin Bernanke flicked his cigar ashes at me, calmly stating “back in the mine, bitch.”

I sold UA and bought three stocks today: BZH, SWHC and JRCC.

Despite the uncertainty of the Fiscal Cliff, the market wants higher. We’ve been climbing the wall of worry for over a week, as predicted by ChessnWine (well done!).

Based upon this unprecedented Fed action (tethering rates to unemployment), I am a big bull on precious metals and commodities in general.

Top picks: EXK, JRCC.

Fly Buy: $BZH

I started a position in BZH.

Disclaimer: If you buy BZH because of this post, the next time you are on a dark desolate road, you will catch a flat tire. And you may lose money.

BREAKING: CHUCK BENNETT WITHDRAWS HIS CANDIDACY!

This just in.

 

News from Asia is that Chuck Bennett, front runner in the iBC Tabbed Blogger elections, is withdrawing from the race, amidst widespread reports of sexual improprieties.

An iBC reporter in the orient had a chance to ask Chuck about his withdrawal and this is what he said.

“I just want to get back to a normal life, focus more on the family, and get back to work. To my supporters at iBankCoin, I love you–but not in a sexual way of course.”

NOTE: Chuck is single and without children.

NOTE II: Bravo to Maximus for having the inside track on this Chuck Bennett story, truly groundbreaking journalism on his behalf.

Where will the Chuck Bennett votes go and who will Chuck Bennett endorse? Stay tuned.

Buying More Guns

I sold out of UA this morning, following JP Morgan’s initiation and $45 p/t. Fucking shit. I was convinced UA was going higher, until it started to go lower. I don’t have time to dick around and wait for the company to prove JPM wrong, so I’m out.

I nibbled on a little more SWHC. Since it’s a 17% position already, I need to be very selective where I add to the stock. Without a doubt in my mind, this stock will be significantly higher in exactly 3 months.

With more than 20% of cash on hand again, I am looking for one or two degenerate gambles, only for a trade. I am looking for a stock under $10, ready to rip. However, at the same time, I am cognizant that the very fact that I’m searching for such depravity the market may indeed be topping out.

I’ll keep you motherfuckers updated.

My Endorsement For New Tabbed Blogger

Chuck Bennett is a friend of mine and he comes with a package deal, being friends with “The Devil.” As clever as Chuck is at obtaining insanely accurate stock market calls, will he be a productive blogger? You have to ask yourself that question, gentlemen, when voting tomorrow.

Rhino is a work horse and does have a certain following behind him. But will he crack under pressure, the pressure of the big stage, once he is relied upon to deliver quality picks on a daily basis? Or will he go “John Rambo” on his effeminate city and end up in prison?

Clearly Raul is mentally disturbed. But he seems to have good work ethic, with thought provoking posts, even if they’re filled with shit pertaining to charts.

DCHsn6 is a spy with orders to disrupt the social fabric of iBankCoin (trust me). A vote for him is clearly a vote against the flourishing democratic dictatorship taking place here on a daily basis.

Truth be told, Elizamae is one of my favorite Blogger Network reads. His work is professional grade, even though he is a lowly traffic guard.

And then we have Maximus. I don’t know a God damned thing about this man. He hasn’t really campaigned against his peers, claiming to be “in bed, shitting, with the diarrhea.” I can’t speak to that. But he did make a nice campaign video, one that warrants attention because iBankCoin is always in the market for people with technical skills. After all, Chuck is great at being a sociopath. Rhino is great at killing people. RAUL is great at eating the brains of monkeys. DCHsn6 is a competent double agent, provocateur extraordinaire. Elizame is well adept at helping 5 years olds cross busy intersections. And Maximus, the underdog, makes hollywood quality videos.

As always, “The Fly” endorses the absurd and superfluous. Therefore, I vote for Maximus, despite the fact that his writing skills are exactly on a 5th grade level, according to The iBankCoin writing assessment analyzer (TiWAA).

The New Normal is Not Now

Many of you are discounting “The Fiscal Cliff” as something to mock.

Dear friends, you are going to be enveloped in big government bureaucracy. All of the joys and splendour enjoyed under the Bush administration will be gone. A new era of higher taxes and punitive regulations awaits you and it will change the way you invest; you just don’t know it yet.

Companies will reduce and suspend dividend payments and newly forged healthcare dictatorships will force companies to contract their labor forces. Only thanks to the Federal Reserve and cheap money do you escape the pain of American austerity.

Having less than 20% cash, invested in high beta names, I am hardly in a position to claim “conservatism.” However, “The Fly” has plans for the month of January. I’ve told you many times before, the month of December is a non event. If it was a person, it would be called ‘persona non grata’.

The cold winter nights will reveal themselves in full force, only after you’ve inebriated yourself stupid, celebrating the new year.

I was +1.8% for the day.

P and L On Current Holdings

VHC +14%
EXK -8%
ADTN- new
CROX +5%
SWHC -8%
UA -6.5%

In addition to that, I own some old man stocks, even a little FB and AAPL–but nothing too meaningful. I have nothing to hide here, playing an open hand for better or for worse. Do you think I give a shit what any of you think? I’ve got real world problems to deal with, patent litigation lawsuits against the largest corporations in the world to worry about, not the opinions of the meek.

Although my current roster of stocks looks like something out of the handbook for “INVESTING LIKE A FUCKING LOSER”, all of those stocks will trade higher. I don’t have an interest in executing stop losses in names that I know to be inexpensive.

The only thing separating “The Fly” from greatness is time.
