In clinical trials done at “The Fly’s” house, 1 in 4 people (Mrs. Fly already had her appendix removed) received “acute appendicitis,” as a result of eating Dominos’ disgusting rubbery pizza.
I will talk about my absurd ordeal in greater detail, over the next few days. Just know, I was awake for 30 hours, prior to surgery. The hospital I drove myself to is a nazi German prison camp. My surgeon is an SS surgeon, of German decent, who has the personality of “The Fly,” in a weird/ German/Nazi sort of way. And, finally, I checked myself out of that morphine mill after 19 hours.
The hospital had NO AIR CONDITIONING.
Like I said before, these things (egregious events) happen to me on a regular basis.
As for the market: The U.S. Treasury committed fraud on the tax payer, coming in at the senior preferred on both Fannie and Freddie. They should have come in on the bond level, and that’s it.
I suspect the rally will be very short lived. As a matter of fact, I will be shocked if the market sustains a 200+ advance, by the end of the day.
On this bailout, commodities should do well, as well as foreign currencies—specifically from commodity driven economies.
Okay, I need to get the hell off the computer now. I will be working from home and expect to make money tomorrow, even though some of you losers thought I was dead, or something.

Fly
will you be trading under the influence of narcotics this week? That could be fun!
no. I refuse to take pain meds. I am one of those guys.
ok. gtg.

Had my ruptured appendix removed when I was 10. One nurse comes in and shoots my ass full of morphine. Still in pain, the next nurse shift comes around; I tell them I never got a shot, can I get one now. I get another shot within the same hour. Soon the walls start breathing, coming in, going out, like the tides … don’t remember a thing after that. The next morning the nurses tell me I better not behave like I did the night before. Apparently they had to hold me down & strap me in the hospital bed.
True story. My first(and last) overdose.
Fly, Im glad you are not dead.
But seriously take the pain meds…no one will think you are gay if you do.
i hope you were able to witness FCX ‘s egregiously(am i allowed to use that word?) high volume reversal on Fri.
peace
Perhaps it was the Soup Nazi who was your surgeon. He kind of looks like Herr Mengele. Are you sure you didn’t end up in Bellvue Psychiatric Center. They don’t have air conditioning either.
You must have an HMO as they are not allowed to send patients to hospitals with air conditioning.
Sorry man. You really should at least consider some motrin or something for the pain. Get well soon.
the lesson here is that when you dine like a third-tier poor ass, merlin gets his revenge. glad to hear you are back in salty form.
My back has been twisted and knoted and causing extreme pain for weeks. The wife has been making doctors appoinrmants, but i refused to go an missed every one. Then today i caught Paulson on CNBC with the mother of all bailouts! I screamed in agony (long a shitload of SKF). My wife, hearing my painful scream, called for an ambulance. I write this from an un-airconditioned hospital room in New Jersey – i don’t know which is worse, the pain in my back or the pain from my loss in SKF. The food sucks here too.
glad you’re on the mend.
Poof! There goes your appendix.
even a small dose of naproxen can go a long way. also, look for JRCC to bounce
You need to take the pain meds, Fly. There’s a lot of stress going on in your tissues and organs right now. The anti-inflammatory drugs / pain meds are for that—-not to give the male nurses something to snicker about.
You’re a tough guy. We know you can take the pain.

ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Sen. Barack Obama’s foes seized Sunday upon a brief slip of the tongue, when the Democratic presidential nominee was outlining his Christianity but accidentally said, “my Muslim faith.”
The three words — immediately corrected — were during an exchange with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on “This Week,” when he was trying to criticize the quiet smear campaign suggesting he is a Muslim.
My appendix is writhing at the thought of Domino’s “pizza”.
Futures still climbing, Asia rocketing. This one’s gonna have legs a la BSC bailout.
Wouldn’t it be something if we rallied for the week and made a higher high on the indexes?
I see your republican government just turned to socialism (GSE bailout).
Taxpayer bailout = higher taxes….
Interesting dichotomy…
Republicans = socialists ??
What happened to the idea of free market capitalism?
This will likely drive Larry Krudblow to fall off the wagon.
Senor Fly – didya get a blood sample for your physical while you were at this unscheduled activity?
kudlow is going to have a hemorrhage on-air tomorrow. i can feel it.
Glad to hear your views on the market and hope you are right that a 200 point gain doesnt even hold as who would have expected a rally off the fact that the government has to step in and rescue the GSE’s.
I can see all the regional banks I have shorted rally big tommorow though there wont be a rescue coming for them.
Good luck getting back to health Fly
Godspeed my winged friend. Godspeed ….
In other news this Freddie and Fannie bailout by Comrade Paulson with the support of Comrade Bush is highly egregious. This socialistic endeavor would make Comrade Stalin proud. Time to pull down the Stars and Stripes and raise the Hammer and Sickle . All Hail Communism ! Socialism for All !
I have to agree with some of the above comments… wtf is a man like you eating that shit for? And perhaps moreover, wtf are you doing feeding it to your family?
That must give you a frisson of delight, eh Cap?
Seeing as how you were planning on voting for Comrade Barack, anyway?
________
Fly–
Sorry I was away and missed the big news. Sorry for your no doubt excruciating pain. Take your pain medicine for that, we are not in Viking times, and pain is counterindicative for healing.
Therein ends my sympathy wishes.
___________
Now, some questions. You live in New York City, in a neighborhood where you would probably be shot in the kneecaps for ordering Dominos.
In the least, a flyer with your face on it would be stapled up on the telephone poles next to the ones that show Sammy Gravano with a rat body and “RAT!” untah-neath.
So, like, what the fuck?
Second, you are a bridge away from perhaps three of the finest hospitals in the United States outside of maybe Mayo in Rochester and the Cleveland Clinic. You drove where? WTF again.
If you were in Sud Amerique or Romania for all this schit, then my apologies, although you should’ve known better’n to order Domino’s in a third world country.
_______
Last question: The doctor… did he keep asking you .. “Is it safe?”
___
Correction:
Two bridges, or a ferry ride.
+++++++++
Dominos Pizza? Drove yourself to the hospital? Nazi doctors? No air-conditioning? Egregious shit happens to you on a regular basis?
I’m sorry, but I also have to shout WTF????
Get better. You sound like you’re out of sorts, in a bad way.
Sorry to hear about the emergency, hope you are recovering to good health.
Pizza is offically off my list of foods.
Get well soon.
Does anybody else think Mr. Mortgage sounds like Charlie Brown’s Teacher?
Shouldn’t you be saying to short LM says they have a huge position in FRE?
He didn’t know you were out due to an emergency. Should’ve known it was… Sorry for being a dick… Hope your feeling better, cause when you are I’ll be back….
flying dick.
Homebuilders will pop too …
I came close to having my appendix rupture years ago and it’s best to get to the nearest hospital rather than select the most comfortable … if you want to live to trade again … from my own experience … don’t remember getting any morphine but I do remember getting demerol …. sweet dreams with dat!
GWS Fly … and stay outta the pool for awhile.
Did anyone else find it curious that FXI was up 2.5%, FXP was down 4% Friday with the Chinese markets down 2.25% & 3.3%?
Now we know why with this GSE bailout of Bill Gross & China. Someone was tipped off.
It’s really odd that somehow, I am always on the wrong side of these out of the blue rallies. It doesn’t matter if I’m being a contrarian or riding the trend, I’m always left scrambling. Somehow I need to figure this out.
Geesh. Dominoes Pizza did not cause the problem. Current research points to lack of ingested fiber which sets up the development of the fecal plug in the un-intelligently ‘designed’ appendix because of the decreased intestinal transit time associated with low fiber diets.
Eat your dominoes (the pizza, not the hard, black rectangles with the white dots), but just get some fiber in during the day, like oatmeal (gosh, you do eat a lot of that, don’t you?) Or maybe you have stopped eating the oatmeal?
Anyways, right, it is important to get to the nearest surgery as quick as possible when having the severe pain, to prevent the bursting of the appendix (if the pain stops, you know you are in trouble, because that means it most likely burst), which can lead to serious complications, like death.
You did good. Since surgeries at present tend to be less invasive than the ones years ago, pain medication following is not necessary and can cause slowing of mental function. But, nothing is wrong with some bed rest.
Glad you got it removed before it burst.
is eating dominos pizza in nyc the same as eating long john silver seafood in florida or eating shorty’s bbq in north carolina?
get to work pussy. you will feel better.
btw- crude + 1.2% and gasoline + 3.3%
Fly: You were wrong last time, and you will be wrong again.
Sorry, but you have a history of calling these big events wrong. This market is going much higher and for far longer than you imagine.
Get long.
Is anyone going to short this rally? I’m thinking it lasts a week or two.
no way it lasts that long … i think we retest the lows within a week
If today finishes strong, then I definitely suggest letting the momo wear off before establishing a bunch of new short positions. The market was very oversold last week, and that could add some fuel to carry this rally longer than you might think.
Hope you’re feeling better. Take the meds, we’ll still respect you in the morning.
FLY YOU SHOULD OF GOT OFF YOUR ASS AND WENT TO
BROTHERS OR DININO’S
So WTF are we supposed to do with our SKF positions?
Meds are for pussies. I also mostly refuse to take pain killers. Sometimes it just hurts too much.
Pain is the body’s way of telling you that it is healing. If you block out that signal, then you do not know what state you body is really in. Just like with trading.
Or as great uncle Arthur used to say:
Take the pain and you can feel the gains.
You started going to the gym and your still eating pizza? Odd No?
Was your White blood cell count messed up a couple weeks ago. Mrs. Fly was right in dragging your ass to get a physical.
MBI retraced already.
Bull Maggot:
Double down. Triple down. You keep on buying. Dilute the son of a bitch!
no. I refuse to take pain meds. I am one of those guys.
That’s the “stoopidiest” thing I’ve heard.
Why commodity currencies bro? The aussie trades like kangaroo shit. It’s so gay.
QQQQ’s went red.
I officialy declare this the most fucked-up market EVER.
Just so you fuckers know, I’ve copywrited “Party Like It’s Weimar!” (TM- JakeGint Enterprises, 2008)
Anyone who wants to use it here, it’s free of charge, but it’s a 39 cent royalty (with a multiplier pegged to inflation, of course) outside this site.
___
That is nonsensical…and illogical, Jake.
What’s that BeSpock? That I’ve copywrited the phrase (a la Pat Riley of “Threepeat” fame), or that we are Weimarizing ourselves?
What is “illogical” is foo’s stealing my schtick.
_
Speaking of illogical, where the heck is Calvino? Did his appendix burst, like, two weeks ago?
I need to ask his permission to short LVS again.
__
IEO, why must you F@#! me like this.
Buncha wimps… all this fancy laparascopic surgery….out of the hospital in a day…sheesh! Back in my day, when everybody was tougher, an appendix op was a 6 inch incision, 4 or 5 days in the hospital, and pain for a month!
