The Internet Never Lies

That’s it, I am done with investing for 2008 (blatant lie). I simply can’t stand it anymore.

This tape is 100% untradeable (more lies, I am up today). Here I am, trying to figure out this market, then BAM, some guy walks into my office and throws a fucking watermelon at me (another lie). I stood, with a hammer in hand, covered in black seeds, and chased him down the hallway. But he got away (all a mirage).

It looked like some sort of elaborate (delusion) scheme to get “The Fly” off his game. Let me inform you tricksters, “The Fly” can never be stopped, handled or even slowed down (I slept in the day after Thanksgiving).

As for this market:

I should just buy a couple million shares of MVIS (fat chance), going into CES. You know that fucker, Tokman, is going to get all “jiggy with it,” unveiling new devices and shit.

Also, let me tell you, oil is all the rage, here in Dubai (another lie). As you know, Plutonium Petey has an office on the 110th floor, in the “Dubai Space Needle” (ridiculous), where he trades like space alien magician. He is treated like a King in Dubai, mainly because he punches off everyone’s mustachios (never happened).

Okay, it’s time to go eat a sandwich of some sorts (true). My positions are all over the place, but my wins in gold, via ABX, are especially pleasing—since many of you liars were against it. Whatever is occurring in the minds of people who buy t-bills is disturbing, let me tell you. My small TBT position is being ransacked and there is no sheriff in town to help save it.

Finally, at these levels, it appears the market will asshole dip bounce. I might buy more FAS and UYM, in order to get the monkeys off my back.

    HEY FLY:

    How do you feel about holding the SRS given the fact that the IRS recently ruled that REITs can pay their dividends in stock instead of cash…

    I think the fish in the barrel are going to shoot back at everyone short the REITs…. crowded trade

    Additionally the SRS will break just like the FXP broke. SRS is for trades not for holding and waiting for a pop.

    The FXP will pop someday but it may be from 15 to 30 or from 30 to 60 … who knows!

    Look at Dexion trying to take credit for my claim from last week RE:SRS.

    All reverse 2x ETF’s will follow the FXP model. When you have had a precipitous fall in price of the underlying assets and the ETF trades at roughly the same price it did prior to the fall, expect the ETF to get hammered down.

    SRS, SKF, EEV… They will all follow FXP’s lead.

    US Dollar Index has declined 9% in 8 trading sessions while the commodity complex (except for gold) has entirely yawned it off and the US 30yr has rallied in unprecedented fashion. This is FUCKED! To say this doesn’t make sense is a gross understatement. When abnormalities like this occur, it usually has a rubberband effect……not that I know what, where or when.

    Forget a Christmas rally, we’re gonna have a Christmas crisis……these trends can not sustain and the smart money is under the mattress until something gives.

    What surprises me Shorty is when the value of a currency is expeditiously decimated and assets denominated in that currency are completely unaffected. Gold has done exactly what it should do when the dollar goes down.

    But this whole thing with the 30yr rallying 30% in a month while the dollar crumbles also makes no sense. I flat out don’t understand how that happens.

    Donny, Please knit me a new rug 🙂

    Can somebody explain to me what is the latest on Madoff, has he gotten bail or is he still in jail? Did they give him house arrest with an ankle bracelet? If so, that’s a freakin’ travesty of justice.

    There had to be people who helped him print those monthly statements. Also I doubt the sons “didn’t know” what was going on. I smell a huge giant barbecued nutria. Whoever participated needs to be taken down and spend a good few months at Rikers waiting for trial.

    oh, and any bets, how much has been concealed, in Switzerland or elsewhere?

    Dear Mr. Fly,
    Let it be said that I worship your white robe and get all wiggly when I think of your anointed sandals.
    That said Mr. Fly, wake up please.
    Get back to being you.
    You know, the guy who was a trader first and a class clown second.
    The last few weeks you have been chasing your tail. That is about as effective an investment strategy as “hope it works out”.
    Ever since you saw the big numbers on your blog hits, you have, without knowing it, started making your priority entertaining us, trading second. While we find it highly amusing, it puts no, [soon to be worthless] dollars in Mrs. Fly and her kids pockets.
    Maybe you are just taking a mental break after a good year. If that is the case, don’t waste your money and reputation trading like an 8th grader.
    Just blog and tell us jokes until Jan 2nd.
    If your priority is now being a clown, join the circus and get paid.
    If that does not tickle your funny bone, then get back to what got you here in the first place. Concentrate on trading or take a complete break. The market does treat half committeed traders kindly. Even one’s with a 155 IQ.
    Cheers,
    Santa
    ps…take a look at a chart once in a while. You influenced my friend to buy FXP a couple times this last 5 weeks at egregiously higher prices. I screamed at him with full fury that the FXP chart looked like death in motion on it’s way to hell. A ten second look at the FXP chart when it broke it’s upsloping trendline [of lows] in early Nov. was all it took to figure out that was a POS disaster in the making. I tried to scream at you too but the Gods willed my computer to break, so when I hit submit, nothing ever happened.

    Santacruzr,

    The last thing this blog needs is another condescending asshole bragging about the psychic capabilities of his charting skills in hindsight of a trade. Your small-minded pettiness and irrationalizations are all too obvious to seasoned investors, most of whom enjoy Fly’s foolishness as a break from the incessant rattling of Wall Street Fuckface Jargon. Please leave.

    Rikers is for NY State criminals. Madoff is a Federal criminal, hence would go to the Fed lockup, like the one in Brooklyn.

    He is probably safer at home, because someone would kill the fucker in a NY minute if he shows his face. We don’t get a show trial if he is offed.

    Yes, it doesn’t make sense, assuming there will be an economy in the future.

    So, the question becomes this. Will there be an economy in a year? Or will all fiat currency collapse making hard assets king?

    Thanks Zen, thought Rikers was for NYC too. But I forgot about this being a Federal crime. (imho) Screw whether he’s safer at home, they can put him in solitary 23 hours a day for his protection. It just seems so wrong that he can go back to his luxury apartment right now, that he paid for with stolen money, I imagine.

    Thanks for the links guys. I was just venting about Madoff.

    Actually I think Law and Order is a crock of hooey, so to speak, very far removed from reality, so hardly watch it. I know Madoff would be in danger incarcerated, but what was getting under my skin was that people with much lesser crimes don’t always get bail and this rich dude gets bail, I guess it’s always better to commit a really big crime.
