Gunners Forecloses on Ducati’s Blog

“The Fly” believes in symmetry. Ducati ruined Gunners perfect post with a 1 star rank; therefore, Gunners is “awarded” Ducati’s blog. It’s that simple.

Tit for gat.

Since the cat is out of the bag, Ducati has NEVER given anyone, other than himself, more than 1 star. We’re talking dozens of 1 star votes. An egregious voter, if you will.

How’s that for full disclosure?

Hence, iBankCoin welcomes Gunners.

In other news: The monolines are “financial terrorists.” And, they’re f#@%ed (we can say fucked here Barry).

And, Mish gives an update on how fucked the auction fuckers are, with a little unique insight.

Many of the ARS munis are held by leveraged closed end mutual funds. Since the auctions are failing, my guess is they will liquidate the leveraged portion of the portfolio, meaning a cascade on muni paper into the market. Plus, other issuers will be trying to re-finance their ARS, (NY, Tollways, etc.), we should be watching the yields going forward and they should spike sometime in the future. There might be an opportunity in here!

    The post begs a question. Since it was known ahead of time that duck was an avowed enemy, why grant him a tab?

    Secondly, I had a little tete a tete with duck over a plagiarism issue. I contended that he pulled the non borrowed reserves graph from mish’s blog. However I offered him the opportunity to retort, in case he actually read that 1000 pages of shit from the Fed. Anyhow, ideas should be attributed.

    Too bad he left.

    He was going to explain/point out to me in great detail where Apple manipulated their latest earnings…

    Now, I’ll never know and I’ll be unenlightened forever!

    Congrats Gunners. But what about (and I know this isn’t a democracy) alpha, mrkcbill and GW? Those guys routinely hold down the fort over in the PG.

    Clearly, it’s the whole, “Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?” thing…

    Or, perhaps Gunners is “the Fly’s” collectible spoon dealer.

    Dookati hits the self-destruct button in a hissy fit of small mindedness & jealousy, unbecoming of an IBC tab award holder.

    Duc – in all seriousness, I have not a single shred of a single doubt, that this recent display of infantile behavior, is behind any and all of your failures, misfortunes & inabilities to get what you want from this life.

    Suck it up & do not lose the lesson in all this, lest you continue to reap the rewards of ego-led, self-destructive emotional reaction.

    Really dude. Use this to get your shit together. All is not lost. In every ending, is the possibility for a new beginning. Do not sabotage this possibility as well.

    Good luck.

    Well said, Juice.

    Ducati, take the valuable lessons learned here at IBC and make something of yourself.

    HAHAHAHAHHA!

    SKF and SRS $115 and $114, both could have been grabbed yesterday for $108. Good thing someone around here has a time machine 😛

    Early morning thought: Listening to the NYS Insurance guy Dinello why would Buffett take on any of the bad debt risk since Berkshire (assuming Buffett does this though Berkshire) is a public Co and he would be inviting Shareholder suits? This is especially true since the CDO’s, etc. can’t be valued per Buffett.
    PS Spitzer is a political hack.

    Dookie,

    I’m pissed at you because you took the focus away from trading. But we knew that was going to happen when the “Tab” was granted. Shame on us – Bitch! BTW, your shit was a nice addition for some time. Too bad you self-destructed.

    TC — all that shit was said last week. Start paying attention. There is no risk in the muni side, Buffet would just leave the toxic shit rotting a hole in the monolines’ floorboards. No thanks.

    And yes, Spitzer is one evil motherfucker. A true Medici, that spoiled “friend of the people.”

    Watch those futures – Russell has just regained that push down. There is no reason for this market to go up today…..however, always expect the unexpected – just dont risk too much coin while doing it.

    Be quiet Mr. Jake.

    Ducati quit. Am I supposed to beg him to stay?

    Gunners is Ducati 2.0.

  24. “Gunners is Ducati 2.0.”

    In whose world? Microsoft’s? Again, no dis to poor Gunners, this should not be about him, but he’s knowleadgeable about a narrow topic … a specific industry.

    Fine and good. Give him a tab by all means, as he fills the “RE niche.”

    But Dooc was entertainment.

    (And yes, his “quitting” is a schtick, just like “the Fly” — you need to work it into the script, that’s all.)

    No it wasn’t “schtick.” He really quit. I kid you not.

    Keep in mind, “The Fly” is much smarter than you. You will find my Gunners decision to be a wise one, in time.

    BTW: If “Dooc” was entertainment, why were his traffic stats the lowest on iBC?

  26. Holiday in his homeland is probably over and his friends, having spent enough time with their families and loved ones, have finally invited him out again for a few pints.

    Thus it’s a good time for him to hang up his writers cramp and exercise his elbow at this blogs’ expense!

    Thanks for the memories El Duque!
