7 An amusing thread I saw this morning on a friend’s wall on Facebook…
Ah yes, the infamous cliche “At the end of the day…”, an irritating inanity a lot of fucktards use to indicate closure or a synopsis of sorts for a stated point because of the simple fact they are indeed asshats, who are incapable of finishing a complete sentence without some tired cliche incorporated in it.
Seeing this thread this morning made me chuckle reminsciencing of a poll mentioned all over the news a few years ago. This was not the most annoying crutch in this poll, but in the top fucking 4… along with “whatever” ranking in first place and “you know..” and “it is what it is..” placing above “at the end of the day” in pique precedence.
I would add “my bad”‘ “just sayin”’ “it’s all good..” “it isn’t rocket science..” to this list as well…
I found this quite amusing as degenerate stock traders, likewise, have their own vernacular including such utterances as “bulls”, “bears”, “seeking Alpha”, “dead money”, “death cross”‘ “bearshitter”, “trader-bots”, “full retard”, “the Bearded Clam”, “Chinese burritos”‘, “clown rape”, “boot-stomp”, “gorilla run”, “cocaine and hookers” and “goat fuckers”. The Fly, a sage in the financial blogging world, nailed it when he said it best:
“In the real world, people who manage money have disgusting, filthy, mouths, cussing at old ladies in wheeled chairs and spitting at the homeless. But somehow, someway, when these charlatans made it online, their salesmen hats went on and they became very prim and proper, coming across as bland, rigid, checkered pants republicans (no Savage).”
And, this included when they also make appearances talking shit on TV and radio, Cramer-style, as well… I recommend you refer to the iBC Dictionary if you have any questions in any of the financial lingo described here.
Anyways, it was amusing to me because until only recently, my wife actually thought I was making all that shit up until she overheard some of these words used on some documentary on the 2008 crash I was watching on the teevee. You must excuse my wife’s naivity; when I was running my kid’s hockey team’s webpage a couple of year’s ago, she also thought I was creating my own ‘hockeyspeak’ if you will, such as “spinorama”, “saucer pass”, “cherry-picker”, “change on the fly”, and “startin’ the lawnmower.” ; until the commentators on Hockey Night in Canada were using those adages one evening..
“WHAT??? Those are real words???” She asked. “That how they talk, Honey.”
Back to my point about all those fucking annoying crutches, traders have them too.. though I haven’t ranked them as did the Marist Institute for Public Opinion did in their poll. These include:
“painting the tape”
“gentlemen prefer bonds”
“it’s different this time..”
“we’re different here..”
“nice healthy pullback..”
“fade the gap..”
“housing has bottomed..”
“holding up well…”
“inflection point”
“LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!”
“money can’t buy happiness”
“money isn’t everything. you know..”
“the value of money..”
“It’s only a paper loss, it’ll come back..”
“a fool and his money..”
“poised to clear next resistance..”
“needs to rest after a nice run..”
“greed is good”
“chasing returns”
“timestamp”
“US-style housing crash”
“dovish” or “hawkish”
“all boats rise…”
“tightening the target…”
Top 3 on my list by far for most annoying:
“_______ IS THE NEW AAPL!”, “Mark Zuckerberg, the next Steve Jobs..”, and “_____, the iPod, ( iPhone, iPad)- killer…”
Any ones I’ve left out? I would like to know….

Fading the gap can be one of the most reliable trades possible, especially on a lower open lower in a bullish mkt.

Tuesdays and Thursday have highest odds. Dunno why.

I lol’d at a couple of those phrases.

Indeud. Done it many a times, but only once to any real lucrative gains.. most times after mustering the nuts to do it, the fade comes with the consequence of losing my shares and sitting there watching the stock rip higher…
