This is what it’s all about. Bouncing frozen Monster Energy Soda’s off your fucking heads.

Today’s meltdown solidified “The Fly’s” gains, year to date, which stand at +8%, give or take a percent.

Hence the term applies: “The Fly” wins all the time, even when he appears to be losing badly.

For the day, while roaming around the vicinity of my offices, I enjoyed monster rallies in my basket of inverse etf’s, including REW, SMN, ERY, DUG, FAZ, SRS and EEV.

Know this, you’re not qualified to offer “The Fly” financial advice. His “winship” is too great for the likes of you. You are better off leaving iBankCoin’s website, in exchange for a Tim. Go give those assholes advice, they most certainly need it.

As for me, I will conduct myself with great honour and offer condolences to those of you who bet against me—in due time. In addition, it’s worth noting, I have informed Mrs. Fly that we are to partake in the consumption of 2 1/2 inch rib eyes this evening, over a fine aged bottle of Bordeaux.

You can talk all you want. However, at the end of the day, I’m the Blogfather of this finance game, while you’re just some pathetic loser, with bleeding out positions, that are out of favour with all of the stock Gods.

Off to prepare for this evenings festivities.

    Fly….your one of a kind that’s for sure.

    Enjoy your fabulous dinner

    I sold off those ETF’s for small profit as I am afraid to hold them as long as you did. I just get burned if I hold those ETF’s for very long so I sell after making small gains, yet you sell after huge gains…

    Amazing….once again.

    I was down a quick 6% or so. I still have 25% cash position, which has muted my gains.

    Plus anyway, you’re trading a bullshit 3 figure account and I have a Donkey Kong cocked sized portfolio.

    And didn’t the great Fly just admit to being human, like us all?

    For what it’s worth the Market Fool being a cancer survivor and have studied the disease quite vigorously absolutely knew when AAPL was trading in the mid 90’s and the announcement came about Jobs having some “minor” health issues I was evily (sic) tempted to short the stock.

    Thought about it and made the decision that profiting immensely from this man’s deteriorating health was unacceptable.

    I hold that opinion today even considering I would have made over 20 grand on the bet.

    Life and health is more important than being right or making dough.

    Fuck it I’m going to head to the gym and then come back and make the Cadillac of all margaritas.

    Hope Jobs get’s better.

    Fly I just came on here to ask you specifically about what Cramer just said.

    He is the first person to explain to me what happened today.

    He was speaking about BANKS mostly and then insurance companies under attack from bond bullies. At the end he did mention that some oil companies who are rich in cash but may need to borrow will also come under attack from bond bullies…

    Apparently these bond bullies want to destroy the company and the common shareholders. He said the war has just started and these bond bullies are coming out in force to wipe out banks, insurance and oil companies who need to borrow (mainly from the tarp). I dont know of any oil company yet that needs to borrow…but perhaps some smaller ones will need to.

    I wanted to ask you if you could give your view on this..
    thanks

    Fly I understand about companies with large debt…..that is why I am careful not to buy companies with large debt.

    What I was trying to find out is if there is a specific organized ‘ attack’ by what he calls bond bullies to wipe out many companies?

    Some of these will go under for sure but some might survive if they got a loan ….what is the motive of this group of bond bullies?

    Is this like the massive short selling to wipe out ‘ companies that have poor balance sheets that went on last year?

    I cant ‘wake up ‘ and smell roses if as Cramer says….this is a secret war going on inside wallstreet that some of us arent aware of. I have heard of groups of people ‘ shorting companies into bankruptcy tho”

    ottnott…. not funny

    if there is a large group of assassins out there killing off all companies that will need to borrow money (TARP) this puts the ‘ odds’ against anyone who may want to go LONG a bank, long an insurance company, long oil companies…

    this changes things and I am just trying to get some feed back. Fly generally calls Cramer an idiot so when he said this about bond bullies killing of companies I thought perhaps he was being an idiot and wanted to get Fly’s take on it. Apparently Fly is confirming this information is true.

    And they just announced Bankruptcy…citing lack of available credit (TARP is working wonders, eh?)

    AAPL…Jobs is dead. The one stock that could help take the market higher.

    This whole thing is just getting really sad.

    Damon yeah if there are bond bullies out there and just no ability to borrow money for normal companies small or large becus the banks arent lending then

    There is no reason for me to be LONG ANYTHING ….period

    I will never short a company to destroy it but I will certainly switch to a more negative view and get more into cash and shorts. What chance does one person have against some ‘ wallstreet insider war’. I am long a few stocks, AMGN, and some others I may just sell off. I just havent taken the strategy of being short ALWAYS.

    If Cramer is right then the Devil Dog rules the day.

    Paulson and Bush were a big dynamic duo on TV the other day. Bush kept saying Depression this, Depression that, as soon as market opened.

    j, as far as your comment about trader etiquette, FUCK that! Trading is a zero sum game. I don’t make money unless someone losses. I wish death and destruction to those SSF cows and sheeples that bet against me. This is a WAR. I support my family by my trading. I do not wish those well that try to take my money with bullshit rallies with the WORST DEPRESSION and BEST socioeconomic REVOLUTION in our history ahead of us. Besides, I hate stupid sheeples that still believe the crooks on wall street and our corrupt government and central bankers. Those stupid sheeples are the reason those crooks get away with their corruption to date. If you’re part of the problem, as far as I’m concerned, you deserve to live on the streets and eat garbage. I’m not here to make friends and I don’t take prisoners.

    Obama for asshat. Proving it daily.

    Beige Book, death in Imax 3D:

    Commercial real estate markets deteriorated in most Districts. Contacts in the Boston District described the commercial real estate market as grim and depressing, and market conditions continued to deteriorate in Richmond. In the Minneapolis District, a contact noted that the market remained in a downturn that has now lasted more than a year. Commercial real estate transactions in the Dallas District have reportedly ground to a halt. Leasing activity was minimal in the Boston District, continued to fall in the Philadelphia District, and was assessed as ranging from slowing to frozen in the Richmond District. Contacts in the Chicago District reported increases in sublease space. Office and industrial leasing is expected to remain steady through the first half of 2009 in the St. Louis District, but San Francisco reported that conditions in their commercial office market remained exceptionally weak. The New York District reported that Manhattan’s office vacancy rate climbed to its highest level in two years. Contacts in the Chicago District noted elevated vacancy rates, and contacts in the Kansas City District expected higher vacancy rates going forward. Contacts in the Atlanta District also anticipate that more commercial space will become available.

    Reports about commercial construction activity also were downbeat. In the Philadelphia District, commercial construction activity continued to fall. Cleveland reported that construction backlogs have declined for some contractors. Commercial contractors in the Atlanta and Chicago Districts reported declines in building activity and noted that more projects were cancelled or postponed. In St. Louis, contacts in commercial and industrial construction predicted a challenging environment in early 2009. San Francisco reported that commercial construction activity was very limited. Construction-related manufacturing contacts in the Dallas District reported that demand from commercial construction is shrinking rapidly.

    You can always buy puts on a company. You are not going to destroy any company. That is for the the hedge funds and banking institutions to do.

    On the flipside: do you make money on companies that pollute the environment or pay slave wages ?

    Karl Marx, Das Kapital, 1867 – “Owners of capital will stimulate the working class to buy more and more of expensive goods, houses and technology, pushing them to take more and more expensive credits, until their debt becomes unbearable. The unpaid debt will lead to bankruptcy of banks, which will have to be nationalised, and the State will have to take the road which will eventually lead to communism.”

    To do the “ASSHAT of the month” award right the nominations should come during and at the end of the month, so asshat of Jan. 2009 can be suggested up till the end of Jan and then the lucky recipient then awarded…..

    Fly, you’ll have to have a permanent place setting on the website (maybe in Blogroll) under the heading of ASSHAT OF THE MONTH

    So, up until today,

    my nomination goes to ….. the man who caused the mess with his asinine policies……..drum roll…….

    OK folks I’m going to be a nice BEAR and tell you about my local economic survey today and political discussions. I know sheeples and cows will still buy stocks at the next generational bottom that was put in before the obamarama stimulus package that will solve all our problems and start a new bull(shit) market anyway so I’m not worried about too many BEARS in the market. Besides my SSF is through the roof and as such indicates that 90% of America’s population is dumber than dirt and will keep buying stocks.

    First of all, I’m back in the DFW area this week staying with one of my track rat buddies and doing a little road racing at TMR with my race built Viper.

    I’m in Grapevine, TX which is a very affluent area about 12 minutes from DFW Airport between Dallas and Ft. Worth.

    Keep in mind that this area is currently one of the BEST economic areas in the country. Housing prices have only declined about 2%.

    As you are aware I went to my dentist and had my K9s cleaned and polished today. There were several well to do people(those with jobs and health insurance) in the waiting room and I got their agreement to change the flat screen to CNBC from CNN. I started a conversation about stocks and politics. No one is buying stocks and all had lost a lot of 401K money. All of them stated for now the last thing they care about is buying stocks. What money they all had was mostly now in CDs. I told them to stay there. No one disagreed. I expressed my views about our corrupt government [both parties and specifically mentioned bush(remember this is Texas) and obama] and I expressed my views about a DEPRESSION and a 3RD party REVOLUTION and no one disagreed. People are very PISSED OFF.

    Next my 2 favorite economic indicators:

    HOOTERS GRAPEVINE. Great joe six pack discretionary income indicator. I’m good friends with the manager. Asked how business was. He said they are DOWN 50% from a year ago and that after New Years business has dropped off a cliff. I talked to one of the prettiest girls there that I know with the greatest pair of tits(get the biggest tips) and her electric had been cut off and her cell phone service. Obviously, she told me it is so bad she can’t pay her bills. She has a boyfriend that is helping her pay her apartment rent. In case you’re curious, I had an order of 3 mile island buffalo chicken strips w/blue cheese and celery and 2 Sam Adams drafts. I gave her a BIG tip today.

    PARK PLACE LEXUS GRAPEVINE. Bought my IS F there. Ranked #1 dealer in the USA. Talked to my salesman(great guy, Iraq vet.). Business is DOWN 14%. They just layed off 5 of their 23 sales people. For the first time in the dealership’s history they have repo’d Lexuses in their back lot. For the first time ever, they are discounting their RX line of SUVs. Wait till the Alt-A and Primes start resetting this year.

    There you have the benefit of my economic and political survey today.

    Draw your own conclusions.

    Getting my hair cut tomorrow. Will report what my girl says there about how things are in the personal grooming business.

    There are no Bond bullies and the only thing Cramer is good for is fading. Stop listening to that assclown. Bond traders are only pricing in risk, nothing else. What percent would you lend money to a company if the likelihood that it could not pay you back? It is this simple.. $30 oil= a lot of fucked smaller oil companies and some big ones too.

    DD I’ll have to get a bottle of that (Lagavulin) and try it out…..never had it, I’ll see if it is available here in NC next time…….

    and to Mr EB, that link you posted with the guy bashing JIM “Baggins” GOLDMAN the hobbit was wonderful, thanks for posting that, whoever that dude is unfortunantely will never be allowed back on CNBC because he does not fit into there “pussy wussie gay retard suck-up brown noser club” and speaks actual truth…..CNBC does not like “truth” speakers…….

    FLY, you need to also give a monthly award (after seeing this link) to something to the effect of ASSHAT BASHER OF THE MONTH……..this guy gets my vote

    well done fly, you put a gusher right in Suzie Orman’s mouth. Remember its not timing the market, its time in the market. So what if your balls have been raked over hot coal for a few years? Breakout out that Ibbotson chart and wipe your ass with it bc the broker dealer retirement rant just got 86ed.

    to TheArtist … the guy in that clip who called out Jim Goldman is Dan Lyons, the author of the infamous “Fake Steve Jobs” blog and a financial journalist (previously with Fortune or Forbes, I forget which).

    Jim Goldman is working on getting my vote for Asshat of the Month unless he has the cojones to step up and say his column earlier this month was a bad call. If he admits out loud he kisses Apple’s butt even better.

    Goats have kids. Look it up in wiki. You are doomed. Cover on satanic numbers only. Charts are for kids.

    DD you keep talking big and you’re bound to trip on your own feet.

    And as for your assertion that trading is a zero sum game, that has got to be one of the goofiest things I’ve seen spewed up on this here blog in a long time.

    I don’t have time to break down Game Theory to your level of comprehension but it’s obvious you need some refreshers and a good course in logic as well.

    Since I don’t have the time and I know you don’t have the patience, I’ll cut to the chase and quote wikipedia:

    Assuming the counterparties are acting rationally, any commercial exchange is a non-zero-sum activity, because each party must consider the goods s/he is receiving as being at least fractionally more valuable to him/her than the goods s/he is delivering.

    I hope you can see that blindingly obvious truth because your attempt to reduce the markets to a “game” belies your inability to see anything other than a myopic target and a rabid insistence on achieving it regardless of what it does to your bank account, your sanity and your sense of civility.

    For anyone else that’s interested in a free Game Theory book click on the link.

    Boca probably has some books for sale if you want a dead tree edition.

    Ceurvo — thanks for that. I’ve grown weary of fighting that “zero sum” argument with economic cluetards.

    Ironically — and Dawg will likely hate this — “zero sum” is a favored shibboleth of leftists.
