This Time, Charlie Throws His Meatballs at the Bulls

Apparently, the [[ABK]] “deal” has hit a “snag,” according to CNBC’s Gasparino.

In other news, with futures down nicely this morning, it appears “The Fly” is well on his way to advancing to round two of the Final Four Mad Stocks Contest.

Did any of you really think I’d lose?

    Not in the long term I didn’t. But I had no idea that this was a “week to week” type deal… I thought it was six weeks and we see who did best… In that sense, you got real lucky as Mother Market could’ve waited til Monday to laser beam WaMu.

    Cajie’s gotta get those instructions out in a better form next time… (I might’ve picked SLW instead)…

    Sour grapes, I know…

    Each week, the stock selection (performance) resets. But, you have to stick with the same stock.

    You had the right idea, wrong industry.

    WNR knee capped you.

    In other words, you’ve been knee capped by a WNR.

    Nice way to go out, bucko.

    Anyone notice what WaMU and some of the others are pushing these days via the slimy ads of CNBC?

    Can you believe… reverse mortgages to wrinklies?

    In a downtrending housing market??

    Sort of like the way I got out in the real tournament every year…

    Early.

    Speaking of “the real Tournament” — KC’s lily white Catlick boys and their Magilla Gorilla (40 pts!) center Hargody did not have enough firepower to take on the Pitino-birds!

    Not at home, anyway.

    I’ve been hearing a lot of chat from random people about how much money they “could have” made buying the open and selling the close – as if this requires no knowledge to make money.

    I wonder if the “buy at the open / sell at the close” trade is going to burn a lot of people today?

    “Warning” is just telling us that in “two more weeks,” the NCAA Basketball Tournament is coming up.

    “Warning” would like to reserve Valpraiso State, if no one else is taking them.

    This probably won’t come out on the image specified, because it’s a “slide show” site, but make sure you check out the seventeenth picture… I like to call it: “The Lizard King Contemplates Jail Time.

    This is a special request for ‘The Fly’

    Please…Please don’t post any headline such as “QUICK ALERT BULLS:YOU’RE DEAD” or anything to that extent. I’m having a great day banking coin on SRS and SKF and the last thing I want is a day like last Friday where I felt as helpless as a Kurd inhaling Saddams nerve gas.

    Speaking of which, it looks like the Iraqi Supreme Court (the Prime Minister’s uncle, Maleek, and his seven goat-herd brothers-in-law) has okayed the official “hanging until well dead” of Chemical Ali.

    “and there was much rejoicing.”

    This looks like your typical mortgage broker asshat website/ad, doesn’t it?

    “Nevertheless, Mrs. Obama urged them to foreswear lucrative professions like corporate law or hedge fund management and go into the helping industry, even if the sacrifice is great.”

    I agree, hedge fund managers are lazy man’s work. Same with lawyers. These fucks sleep in until 8 everyday and then only work until 3 in the afternoon. They don’t work half as hard as a 7:30am – 2:30pm Union guy. Goat fuckers.

    Meanwhile, “Mrs. Obama” is pulling down $300k as a healthcare administration bigwig.

    How they hell does she expect anyone to pay the taxes in her socialist utopia?
