Rappin’ For Jesus

It is quite obvious my loyal subjects miss/need me. I rarely come here anymore as I deal with Neonatologist after Neonatologist tell me my son is a mystery. The whole doctor rotation thing is one of the most ridiculous concepts in modern medicine by the way. So I’ll just leave you with some Jesus:

 

UPDATE

Good Evening,

Update, as requested:

I am eternally moved by the outpouring of grace and concern that has billowed in these holy parts of the world wide web that is iBankCoin. My youngest is doing much better, as they have taken him off oxygen today. His ascites is under control with Lasix but we still have no answers. Several tests are outstanding, including specific genetic testing relating to Lysosomal Storage Diseases (If anyone has any experiences with these I would greatly appreciate some insight). Testing for the LSD’s is essentially the last thing they are looking for as every other test has come back negative. They are very rare and dangerous diseases making the wait that much more unbearable. I ask for your continued prayers, chants, hymns, etc.

This PICC line in the side of his head was finally taken out as well this week:

Asking For Your Prayers Or Whatever You Do…

I humbly ask for your prayers, good thoughts, sacrifices or whatever you do for my littlest one. This is extremely out of my nature to ask and share such personal situations publicly but this guy needs anything he can get. He coded yesterday and the doctors have ran every test under the sun to no avail. He has an abnormal amount of fluid in his belly and his liver is slightly enlarged. This will most likely be my final post, as I need to get with Le Fly and discuss the possibility of a special election for a new tabbed blogger. Thank you all for the kind words and messages I have received. To make this finance related, the people’s portfolio is updated here and, obviously, there will be a delay in getting around to @reformedbroker’s book review.

Graciously Yours,

MAXIMUS

 

A Christmas Gift & Poll Update

Good Morning Citizens,

As you are all well aware, some despots that meander the halls of iBC do not care for me nor my escalation into prominence. My life has been put in danger again, this time from barbarian raiders. As I sit here at the local children’s infirmary, I want my forces to know that you are fighting for a noble cause and your loyalty will be rewarded. On this Christmas Eve, I would like to present a “gift” for your allegiance and bravery. This link provides the code and logic behind a somewhat consistant $ES_F day trading program, although not the greatest profit factor of late, created by Ricky Cheung which he provided for free back in 2010. Below are the results from the last 5 years:

Lastly, here are the latest results on the verdict if Reformed Broker’s book sucks:

I’ll try to finish the book this week and have a review done either by the end of the week or after the new year. Enjoy your family and stay safe.

Peace Be With You All,

MAXIMUS

Note: Use the code at your own risk. I nor the lords of iBC do not take responsibility for its accuracy.

Marissa Mayer Has Showed Her Hand – Apple Will Buy Yahoo!

The gods have spoken, my scouts have returned and @marissamayer has given us a perfectly wrapped Christmas present.

She tweeted this Wednesday:

I realize there has been much talk for several months, if not years, about an Apple takeover but I’m convinced this seals it. Too many things are lining up – the confirmed release of Apple experimenting with TV components, the Flickr iOS app release alongside the instagram fiasco and now this seemingly harmless tweet of an Apple store.

There are just too many synergies here that Apple could use – whether it be from Yahoo’s foothold in the Asia marketplace, the insane amount of content Yahoo! has, Yahoo’s IntoNow app and the possibilities that could bring with a TV made by Apple, etc.

I have instructed my legions to buy several YHOO calls – it must be done.
