The Fly is God.
treasuries are leaking .. the time for PST &/or TBT is nigh.
dr. death came. we had some chivas. he asked for direction to all of the bears lair. i gave him directions to places in wyoming, montana, louisiana, virginia and new york.
Is Woody a bear? I thought he was at least temporarily bullish, like me.
Same with A-dawg.
D-Dawg’s hide-a-way bunker overfloweth with Lemon Jello.

they are. just messing with them. lol.
good work for 08, flymeister. All the best for 09.
You too all.
Vix Breaks through 40. First time it touches these levels since the end of September, beginning of October. People are becoming complacent and are willing to take on more risk hence the bleeding of treasuries today. When the December jobs number comes out the VIX will shoot back up and the longs will be raped
“no diving into empty swimming pools.” …wow you a jack ass for saying that….
Chivas, I want some of that roast cabrito for tacos!
I’m off to start cooking for New Year’s Eve, so happy new year to The Blogfather Fly, chivas, Jake, Anton, Yogi and Boo-boo, ottnott, all the tabbed bloggers, the Laughing Crow, Granpa, Ass-Nap-Mike, Tmoe, mdawsz, Dpeezy, 4fl3x, LadyG, j, CAP, Employee8, recusancy, Q4, mrkcbill, … and I know there’s about 50 people I’m forgetting, please forgive me.
It won’t take much for 2009 to be vastly better than the last several years for me, one of the good points has been finding this community here.
In the end, Dr. Death proved to be a bit of an “Emo” Surfer dood pooftah.
_____________
Boca,
my neighbor, best to you and your family.
i will have the cabrito delivered to you.
Happy New Year to you, too, Boca, you are our treasure.
___________
Jake,
LOL.
boca are you cooking for a husband and children? and for neighbors and friends?
I never go out on New Years Eve, to many crazy people. Its much more fun spending time with friends and family gathered round a good meal and fine drinks.
Happy New Year to you and everyone at iBC
awww Jake, actually you all are my treasure haha, funny how that works.
chivas, I just realized you probably meant Chivas the liquor but hey that works too LOL.
LadyG, I’m with you and prefer to spend New Year’s Eve celebrating at home. I’m cooking for my husband and family and hope to take tomorrow off (unusual for me, a workaholic) and do something fun or crazy, or both.
I will be one of those crazy people tonight.
Note to self: DON’T JUMP IN THE EMPTY SWIMMING POOL!
HNY Boca … a toast to you, The Fly, Tabbed Bloggers and all the regulars!
PS: If not HI or INTU take a look at platinum for your hard core holdings. It’s at a huge discount to the other pm’s due to auto woes currently but should revert to its’ old premium to gold at some point…. just saying
Sometimes, life does imitate “art.”
Anyone ever play “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon?”
__________
First, The Fly names a long list of asshats who were under consideration for the prestigious Asshat of the Year Award, and my name was shockingly not on the list.
Now, Boca doesn’t give me a personalized Happy New Year.
No love for the Sham-WOW guy.
That’s ok, I’ll always have got my rags.
Sham-WOW!!
Never drink and drive… Drink, THEN drive. Just keep her right of the yellow line.
Boca,
Just got back from FL late last night. It was 80 degrees on Christmas. Why does anyone live anywhere else?
Have a great New Year.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL, EXCEPT TIM.
happy new year Fly.
Can anyone please tell me how people are posting links on the comment section? Like all the U tube links?
I just noticed that ‘ names’ that are underlined actually link to a photo . I am assuming that under ‘ leave a reply’ after you type in your email that you could type in a website or a link to a photo on the next line and that would do what? Would that cause your name to be underlined as the website/link in the enter box is linked to your name and shows up dark and underlined?
If so then that does not help you post a link inside the box. I have experimented typing in a random website inside the posting box and hitting enter but it does not underline the website telling be a link has been created.
I would like to understand the process.
Thanks for the help
you drink, you drive, you spill.
look at crude go. + 4.35
Ruh roh, da Bears.
There goes another downtrend line on the SPY ($90.30).
And guess what SRS might see this day?
If you guessed a certain very famous post comment, you guessed “wisely.”
_____________
Fly, this tune, you know the year it was done? Just wondering if the Clash’s ‘Guns of Brixton’ is a cover (probably)… I suppose I could research it myself, but I thought you being the ‘master of time, space, and dimension’ most everyone here seems to revere you as you wouldn’t mind parting with just a smidgen more wisdom for my enlightenment. Besides that, I am lazy Gorilla. Not a bear or a bull, but one frickin big ass Gorilla, and I am starting to shake off my torpor.
Happy New Year all!
LOL.
Our winter place is an easy 2 hour drive from the Las Vegas Strip…20 minutes from Laughlin. Been there, done that…many times. Not anymore, no way, no how.
Will do what we’ve done for the last several years: share a very small jar of caviar and a bottle of cheap champagne. In bed by 10ish so as to be ready for Bowl games tomorrow.
Here’s to a better ’09 for all…Cheers.
Lady G:
I am always delighted when someone asks this question, and never tire from providing the answer.
It’s really very simple, and I bet you get it on your first try.

To all the tabbed bloggers who share their insight, experience and trades — good & bad — and to Jake, Donny, Chivas, TC, MrKCBill, OttNott, Contractor, DaPeezy, Fiona, and all the fucktards who make this the only must-read blog on the interwebs, here’s wishing all the best for you and your families in 2009. Even you, j.
For our coin-banking, phrase-coining host Mr. Fly, “thanks” doesn’t begin to cover it. But since you won’t take my money under management, fucker, thanks is all you get. I don’t know why you bother, but I’m glad you do. I hope next year is the best yet for you and yours.
CNBC(aka this blog) has to be right. They keep saying $25 oil, so it must be true. Prepare to have salad tossed oil shorts.
Anton,
best to you and your family.
I just bought a 6 thousand dollar SHARP 65″ LCD TV. Do ya think I saved the Best Buy nope, did they do me any favors nope again.
Fly your use and choice of words keeps me laughing deep into the night. When Im burned out on this shit I need only read this blog, to fire up the boilers.
Good luck be safe and to all a profitable new year.
Boca:
Especially a Happy New Year for you, putting up with all the crap here, and all.
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! Can’t wait for 2009… Bring on the Hyper-Inflationary Depression motherfuckers!!
ENJOY EVERYONE!
Thanks Master Fly.
Looking forward to learning more from you next year 🙂
Have a good one.
Happy fuckin new year ya filthy rich animal!
DXO lets go!

Needle Dick, YOU PAID TOO FUCKIN’ MUCH!
Did you, like Fly buy SRS at 90+ also?
This is a link test…plz ignore just trying to make sure I know how to do it. Can delete this post if u want Mr Fly.
Photo Link
Thanks Jakegint hope I got it right
Anton —
Happy New Year to you as well, my friend… glad to see you back.
And to the Fly et al, my sentiments exactly.
Jake
Vince, you’re one of my faves, Mr. Sham-Wow, even though I did forget to mention you *hangs head*. And how did I forget my old pal gappingandyapping, with the best market commentary from Chicago, and my friend Zen. Please forgive my bad memory all my friends, when you get close to 47.5 the memory isn’t so perfect anymore.
Lady G —
You got it! First try!
Nice.
_________
Thanks for the help. Now I just have to figure out how Mr. Fly and everyone else comes up with these great U Tube video links for every comment and thought they make. Its amazing that they know where these videos are at their finger tips.
At least now I can use it when I want.
Holy key-wrap, that DXO is bubbling up, Jed Clampett-style!
___________
Lady G —
The link address process is the same for Youtube.
It’s too bad, as we used to be able to throw vids right into the comment section, but some asstard started hacking the site, so Fly had to take it down.
As far as finding the right vid content, that knowledge you have to have in your head, but I’ve found the Youtube search section helps if you have a vague idea of what you are looking for.
___________
Jake I bought it way down myself. Still could use a tiny buy more but I will wait until 3+. Cost basis is 2.51.
I may be the only person on the planet that doesn’t use youtube. I only go there to watch certain ‘ tennis’ finals that people caught using their own cameras….like at the US Open or Wimbledon, fans will have some great videos of the games.
Other than that I have clicked on the links here to follow them and that is about the extent of my Youtube use.
Going to have to investigate this tool better.
Happy New Year to everyone here! Thanks for making this a great place to learn and make money. I look forward to what-may-come in ’09 for better or worse. Be safe!
I couldn’t agree more with some of the statements above. This is the must read site on the interwebs. Fly, as Anton suggests, you are a river to your people. It is hard to imagine why you bother, but for those of us who are workin’ for the man, this site makes it go down a lot easier. Happy New Year to all of the jackholes (Ddog), erudite thinkers (Jake), and charmers (boca) on this magical mess of a site!
Would it be considered “rubbing it in” if I were to mention that SRS has now arrived at “NEW LOWS,” if I don’t submit that anyone commit it to pen and paper?
And even though it’s not yet January 12th?
Enjoy the lemon Jello-brand pudding.

I’m flatter-gasted, Happy New Year to you and yours as well!

Lady G,
Re the photo link: Nice ankle on the lady. Is it yours?
Hey DevilDog
How the 50,000 SRS bought at 59 is working for you?
51.75 at 3:00PM 12/31
I told you was a dumb trade
Yes both links (name and photo link) are photos on the internet of me. Thanks for the compliment…I tried to find ones that didnt have my real name.
Have gone back to normal type with no links. I do not want to use them again.
See everybody in ’09 and a good New Year to all.
why wait till midnight – got drunk about an hour ago… BURRPP!
Happy new year to everyone here. I’m so glad I found this place. Hope I can add a few profitable ideas in the future as a thankyou to the blogfather and his band of merry men (not gay, merry). You guys are the best
I have a wonderful bottle of Pinot Noir for the evening.
Other than that I drink Chopin Martini’s occasionally.
Please all you wild guys who live on the edge…be careful and ALL come back safely next year.
I look forward to the PPT of Sr. Fly’s.
Happy New Year.
This is the year that Fly will learn the difference between sunblock and sunscreen.
To all – Have a healthy, happy, and prosperous New Year. I’m off to get some pickinic baskets and mix up some holiday cheer.
How the 50,000 SRS bought at 59 is working for you?>
That would be egregious, but I’m pretty sure he said 5k.
______________
LadyG, you’re very pretty and you are much braver than I in sharing your photo.
Downsouthjukin’ happy new year to you too!
Well our holiday evening is off to a fine start, my husband just got a flat tire and doesn’t want me to come pick him up because he wants to fix it himself by the side of the road. *rolls eyes* Men!
This market is up on fumes.
Ain’t nothin’ but a short squeeze, baaaaabay!
That SDP doesn’t look very good either … but that big dividend did reduce his risk…. haha!
Welcome to 2009. Happy New Year to everybody.
God bless our President Eisenhower and hopefully we will beat the Commie Russians into space with our chimp astronauts.
We hear that a new car called a Datsun is coming soon. No way it can compete against the great American Companies of General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, and Studebaker.
Holy crapoli, anyone just see that late day “end of year fuckery to beat all fuckeries” there on the SPY?
Bastids!

HNY2ALL!!
MONTH END MARKUP….
INTC,KLAC,AMAT,BRCM selling off faster than a New York Mets September swan dive.

Thanks Jakegint for the correction…
Hey DevilDog
Hows that 5,000 SRS trade at 59 is going for you?
SRS at 50.79 at 3:53 OOOPS
Happy New Year
Happy New Year!!!
See ya all real soon!
NEW LOWS FOR DECEMBER 2009
WTF strikes once again and cuts off 40 pts on the Dow in one second.
Not funny TC, I’m still in mourning.
Happy New Year all!
Merlin would be proud, too bad he is out clubbin already.
Happy New Years all!

I’m not so sure that’s not EOY true up kind of stuff. I’d like to see some analyses of prior 12/31 action. I gotta think some of that is automatic for the people.

All the window-dressers seem to be taking an afterhours dump.
Jhershierra:
Perhaps you can travel with The Fly on his Time Machine and tell us what to buy in 2009.
TLT took a pretty sound thrashing today.
Much to the chagrin of my TBT pick which is up 10% already since I gave it to the Rage (all for naught, of course, as the contest does not start til Friday).
___________
Can’t wait for Obama rally, followed by OJ sneaking behind him and pulling a “nicole brown” on longs.
Happy New Year everyone. Lets get drunk and throw darts at a poster of Kneale.
Normally I’d be drinking a $12.99 bottle of Corbel right about now, but I bought eight shares of AIG instead. Next year at this time, when it goes back to $60, I can afford two cases of the bubbly.
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010!!
Yea Ants, all the best to ya. Jake.. great 09.
A toast to the > 4000 US youth who died in Iraq and the > 40,000 wounded in order to protect our freedoms and our rights. Also to their families who love them.
OMFG- here, here.
Best to all in 2009.
Thanks Jake
Frank Sinatra’s “My Way” would be mosy appropriate now, Fly.
Thank you for an incredible blog and all your incredible blogsters.
Heres to you doing it your way! And doing it well.
Fly, they’re looking for a replacement for Kashkari..i think u wud be a great candidate 😉
Happy new year
