I should get paid to watch this bullshit.
But you watched it for free.
….and you’ll watch the next one also.
Like a train wreck……you don’t want to watch…but you can’t turn away.
Interesting.
I am Cuervoslaugh and I do not endorse this ad.
I paid no money for this commercial.
I am still not on the roster (note the first few seconds of the ad where the candidates are listed).
But thanks for showing up Fly, your contribution has been duly noted.
Funny. I was going to endorse Cuervo. But after such ingratitude, I may be forced to endorse BEAS.
I would of course, appreciate your endorsement but at what point have I been nominated to official running status?
I still seem to be, like some candidates in the US election process, left out occasionally from the proceeding roster.
That you took the time and energy to create a commercial for me is appreciated and as I wrote “duly noted” but, I’m still puzzling over it’s organizational imperative.
You Sir, do not get the luxury of being added to the “official roster,” since such a thing does not exist.
As for the 2008 election banner, we at iBC have no desire to alter the current state of the image, mainly due to not giving a fuck.
Pertaining your over confident attitude, with regards to this election, just know this: “The Fly” rules with an iron fist.
Questioning his “organizational imperative” is not a clever campaign tactic, but Dukakism.
If you did not want to be called an “alcoholic,” perhaps you should have chosen a non-alcoholic name, Cuervo.
Good Day

I figured it out.
Cuervo is Canadian.
A much more popular use of the word, “Cuervo”

Sir: I request an apology for your erroneous assumption of my character based on your monocultural lens.
To find that you have called me an alcoholic based on your lack of understanding of what is the defacto dual language of the States shows that, while you may have been born in New York, you certainly don’t seem to have let that expand your horizon of cultures.
Cuervo, should you continue to become more ornery, and less smart, I may have to reconsider the consideration I’m giving to my endorsement of you.
puedo hablar en espanol, perro IBC es para englais!
Hola maing! Cuervo makes worst cactus juice in all of mehico!
Good evening Jake!
This is why I read this blog.
To find out once again how I manage to be my own best enemy.
Cuervos, I speak Spanish too, but honestly I have only heard the word graja for crow in Mexican Spanish, and Cuervo does refer to the tequila in Mexico. I didn’t realize myself you weren’t referring to tequila, so the guys here probably didn’t either. When people in the States like you, they tease your ass. The commercial was a compliment, we like to laugh at ourselves.
hey, how ’bout some pulque, slimy fermented cactus juice from my rancho, mmm-mmm-MMM. Pass it around.
Cuervo- I like your strategy for the campaign – confuse the weak minded electorate with a hint of doubt about actually running.
What would Cuervo do?
Hey Boca, do you believe me now? I write for a living and I can tell certain writing styles and the Fly’s style has changed. It’s not the same site it used to be. And what’s with all the elections? Stupid! This used to be an edgy stock site now it’s just BS. You fucking fuckers, go fuck a donkey. Or wait, maybe just have an election about fucking a donkey.
I agree, this site is becoming commercial and the real FLY is no longer writing on it. Broker A has left the building and was replaced by an imposter with 1st grade writing skills…
Montana:
If you write for a living, why the vast amount of grammatical errors in your post, eh?
I am holding elections, in order to “hire” a new blogger, fuckface.
Is that edgy enough for you? Or do i have to track you down and punch off your fucking legs?
In other news:
My index finger has a better sense of humour [sic] than Cuervo.
Fuck you, chico.
For all of you conspiracy theorists, regarding the Godly writer of this blog, go fuck a clamshell.
I couldn’t sell this site, if it were getting Drudge traffic.
While it’s true, I get lots of traffic; no one acknowledges the site. No links, no media.
99% of traffic is grass root bookmarking.
Plus anyway, why would I sell the site?
Really?
Why?
Funny that no one considers that The Fly might just actually enjoy writing.
I think Hannahmontana is a pissed-off third tier blogger.
looks like the lybians vw wagonvan had an egregious breakdown and they failed to deliver the plutonium promised this weekend. it smells in here, odd no?
Not a third tier blogger. He’s probably some frustrated short, that is unable to believe “The Fly” can switch to bullish, so fast and so Godly.
It’s almost unbelievable how glorious “The Fly” is.
I understand.
Fly, definately glad you’re not selling. I’m seeing IBC come up pretty high on a lot of google searches, so it will build a lot of traffic over time. With everyone in the PG, and all of the main posters posting high quality bookmarking (some more than others), it will develop a lot of backlinks and continue to gain traffic, how can it not?
You can send out a press release to PRweb.com and others if you want some exposure to media…
Actually, there’s a video that shows you how to get articles into google news.
http://traffic.easywordpress.com/access/01.html
If you’d want them to consider it, it would probably have to be a clean professionally written fairly lengthy article with no profanity… Go for it, if you want the exposure.
BTW, is grass root bookmarking the same as social bookmarking?
Fly,
You still like JOE here around 40?
Marty Whitman at Third Ave Funds owns about 20% of the shares. He, as you know, is legend, and well past 47 1/2.
Is JOE primarily a play on the real estate they own?
Vote:
http://www.ibankcoin.com/rcblog/index.php/2008/05/04/who-will-you-vote-for/
JOE is a real estate “bank”, ie the iBC of real estate.
It’s a bet on real estate appreciation in FL
Basically the pitch is 800,000 acres of land in FL and 100 miles of undeveloped beachfront.
Big institutional ownership, Janus, T Rowe Price, Marsico, Third Ave, own about 55% of shares o/s.
That may be an endorsement, or a potential disaster if they decide to dump. I don’t think they’ll dump unless FL falls into the sea.
Thanks alpha.
I was watching JOE for a bottom, and then forgot about the stock, and missed the bottom.
I don’t believe in conspiracies. Besides, when your right your right and I’m right. As far as my “grammatical errors” that’s what editors are for. I’m not a short, just someone who tunes in to this blog because in the past the “Fly” had some good market calls and I have banked some serious coin. It’s just not the same and the writing style has changed. So, suck it bitches.
Wood,
Was it you that liked Brazil, EWZ?
Take a look at BAM on your Bank-O-Matic charts and let me know what you think.
They are heavily invested in Brazilian infrastructure and real estate. It’s a holding company, so it may not appeal to the tastes of those looking for high growth whiz-bang gadget companies. I like the symbol, BAM!. Much better than BOOM, which has a bad connotation.
Disclosure: I have a position in the stock (BAM, not BOOM).
Hannamontanna,
The Fly is the same person to me, linguistically I see no difference.
The market on the other hand has been an exercise in frustration lately and at times many of us have been p-o’d or moody, it may show in our posts. It will all work out in the end.
My stock picks ebb and flow. Hopefully, you can get some flow, and not the ebb.
Hattery:
We were Google News approved. However, we pissed them off, so they booted us.
All right, nuff said. I’ll drop it. It’s still the best stock blog out there. Just get back to timing the market so ignorant fucks like me can afford to buy tires for our mobile homes.
Was it because of the Leonard the Monkey campaign ad?
Hanna:
I’ve been a little off, due to the market fuckery. I’ll be back to spinning winners in no time at all.
I hate Google anyway.
Obviously Google views a man with a time machine as a threat, and doesn’t want to give them more power than they already have.
Fly,
Do you mind sharing with us your “godly” YTD performance figure?
Alpha, BAM is interesting. It is due for a pullback right here, though.
I will add it to my watch list.
@Fly – You’re right sir. You do have more of a sense of humour in your finger than I do in total.
@hanna – Fly still writes like he always has.
@alpha – I liked EWZ. I would wait for a pullback though, it’s over 3 standard deviations from the mean. Even with the upgrade in investment status for Brasil, it’ll need to cool off for a bit.
I took down “Vote for Cuervoslaugh” from our church sign this weekend.
The parishioners were offended by The Fly’s language.
Hannah,
I agree with your comment about writing style. I am wondering if the Fly has departed us due to poor YTD performance. Has he/she taken up a job in the private sector to pay for his Kitchen/Plumbing mishaps?
