Iceberg Capital Management

Fuck all this talk of insolvency. It’s very boring when it’s actually happening, as opposed to it being a virtual concept, if you know what I mean.

It’s sort of like how I get all happy and shit when Steve (my neighbor) loses money in his 401k plan, but feel bad for him when he comes to my house for a cup of rice.

Instead of getting all “emo” and shit, regarding the pending death of America, “The Fly” will do the patriotic thing and buy Citigroup Inc. [[C]] , as if my head was attached to my balls.

And, with regards to coal: I will make believe it is not down today. Yeah, that makes sense. Walter Industries, Inc. [[WLT]] is actually up $6, as idiots from China add coking coal to their baby formula recipe.

In short, this cannot be the end of our moronic financial system. There are so many people left to rip off. My money is on “goldilocks” and her whorish ways being able to infect another generation of plasma loving malcontents.

Top picks: Citigroup Inc. [[C]] , [[UYG]]

    Hey Fly,

    There’s a sponsor’s ad for a book called “Guide to Investing in Gold and Silver”.

    Should I click that today?

  4. Everyone should find something that is moving and jump aboard with a small amount of coin and quickly jump out with a small profit. SMN was moving today but watch out for those reversals.

    speaking of icebergs…..

    “I can’t help but compare our country’s situation to the maiden voyage of the Titanic. Everyone has seen the movie, so can relate to the story. The captain (Alan Greenspan) has been handed the greatest ship (United States) ever made. It is unsinkable. The initial voyage across the Atlantic Ocean has drawn the rich elite ruling class (financers & bankers) onboard. But, the lower decks are filled with lowly peasants (Working Class) who are sneered at by those in the upper decks. A maiden voyage should always be taken slowly. A prudent captain would not take undue risks. Our captain (Alan Greenspan) wants to make his mark on history. He declares full steam ahead (reducing interest rates to 1%). Midway through the voyage, the captain is handed a telegram warning of icebergs (potential financial catastrophe) ahead. If he slows down the ship, he will not set the speed record. He ignores the warning and steams on to his rendezvous (eternal disgrace) with history.

    In the middle of the night, the lookouts (Ron Paul, among others) scream iceberg!!! But, it is too late. The great ship (United States) has struck an enormous iceberg (banking crisis). At first, it seemed like everything is OK. There are no visible problems. But, below the waterline the great ship (United States) is taking on water (massive mortgage write downs). The engine room (Federal Reserve printing presses) works frantically to stem the damage. The captain believes that the compartmentalization of the ship will save it. The expert on the design of the ship (Nouriel Roubini) explains that the ship will surely sink. The captain orders the band (Hank Paulson) on deck to distract the masses from their imminent fate. The owners of the ship (U.S. government) never thought it could sink, so they didn’t provide nearly enough lifeboats.

    To avoid mass panic, the crew (government bureaucrats) has locked the lowly peasants (Working Class) below deck. They will surely go down with the ship. But, here is where our story starts to deviate. The band (Hank Paulson) decides that the women and children (Middle Class) should not be saved first. The ruling elite (financers and bankers) are piling into the boats to escape their fate. The captain (Alan Greenspan) does not go down with the ship. In a cowardly act, he leaped onto the 1st lifeboat to be launched. So, this is where we stand today. The great ship (United States) is sinking. Should we let the band (Hank Paulson) dictate those who get onto the lifeboats first? If we do, we will all face the fate of Jack as he slowly freezes to death in the icy Atlantic.”

    OK. Change of plan. The banks will get their bailout money. But, we’re going to require that the banks forgive all the debt and start over. No, wait….I can’t do that. I am a banker. Shit!
