I’m not running for pope of this dump but by god I should buy an ad anyway beotchez!
Not many people have been voting on the Peanut Gallery. When the vote count is low, it’s easy for applicants to ramp up their own score by telling everyone in their office to vote it up, and then also to 1-star other applicants.
The voting is NOT being done in PG. I will set up separate polls this week.
So, all of you fuckers who are manipulating the scores (I see you)are wasting time.
Sometime tonight, I will list all of the applicants. Then the voting will commence.
Sure. Anyone can buy an ad, even if you are not running, providing you are supporting a candidate.
iBC’s IT will design ad. Just tell us what you want it to say.
It’s a pretty good deal folks, I only make 26.75 + incidentals / mo.
(fyi, incidentals are a meatball sandwich/extra gravy. and that’s italian gravy, btw)
More of that really great commercial RE news that has been driving SRS to zero the past few weeks:

Gang activity, crime and a store that sells toilet paper are some of the reasons why anchor retailer Dillard’s wants out of Highland Mall before its lease is up.
Dillard’s announced last month that it would leave Highland Mall “in the next few months,” and in a recent lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court, Dillard Texas LLC and The Higbee Company — both wholly owned subsidiaries of national department store chain Dillard’s Inc. — asked the court to void its contractual obligations to Highland, including paying rent on the remainder of its lease.
Dillard’s alleges that the owner — Highland Mall Limited Partnership, made up of Simon Property Group Inc. [NYSE: SPG] and General Growth Properties Inc. [NYSE: GGP], two of the country’s largest mall operators — let it deteriorate to such a degree that it has forced Dillard’s to close.
“As a result of the continued deterioration of Highland Mall from a once-first-class shopping mall to the ‘ghost town’ it is becoming, [Dillard’s] plans to cease operations in both its stores. … There is no alternative for [Dillard’s],” the lawsuit says.
No problem. I’m sure that more cheap money for the banks and phony valuations on bank balance sheets will fix everything. Everybody in the Highland Mall area will be back to shopping as if the deeply tanned elf from Countrywide was still coming by once a year to hand out mortgage refinancings with $100,000 equity cashouts.
And believe me, talking to the Fly in person is a real treat.
That is, unless someone like Steve, Jr. and Fly, Jr. TP his house during Halloween.
The two kids learned this past Fall it wasn’t worth the empty beer cans thrown at them as they ran down the street.
Flysack,
Good work last week! You make the novice feel real good. The Fly is god. The fly is Jim Cramer
Thanks.
May you live forever, little deformed man from Sparta.
(CNN) — Woody Harrelson defended his clash with a banker at a New York airport Wednesday night as a case of mistaken identity — he says he mistook the banker for a US Treasury-eating zombie.
The BAC banker filed a complaint with police claiming the actor damaged his bonus and pushed him in the assets at La Guardia Airport, according to an airport spokesman.
“We’re looking into this allegation and if it’s warranted, we’ll turn it over to the proper authorities,” said Port Authority of New York and New Jersey spokesman Ron Marsico.
The banker, who was not identified, recovered from the encounter with a small 8-figure commission after his larger bonus was broken.
Harrelson, who is being sued by another BAC banker for an alleged assault in 2006, did not deny his involvement.
“I wrapped a movie called ‘Zombieland,’ in which I was constantly under assault by investment bankers, then flew to New York, still very much in character,” Harrelson said in a statement issued Friday by his publicist.
“With my daughter at the airport I was startled by a highly leveraged banker, who I quite understandably mistook for a zombie,” he said.
I’ll be sure to make out my last will and testament before the actual election.
Flygnatsack,
I lost my life savings following you. Made it all back following Cramer.
Boca-
Forget the last will and testament.
Execute a Living Will.
Just in case it’s a slow demise.
Yo Fly,
You promise we get a chance to meet you in person? I need that in a contract…or else it’s not worth it.

Ack! visions of life support machines and feeding tubes, yes, the agony could be prolonged.
Fly,
I need your help regarding an investment. I don’t want to discuss on the message board. Please give me a call at 416-640-5050. You might be interested, I think this is right down your alley.
Sincerely,
Trader Bob
1. The Fly does not call losers.
2. Putting your number on a website that gets 1million page views per month is an excellent way to get prank calls.
Trader Bob is pranking the board with that #
http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-416-640-5050
is off the charts.
Trader Bob, please back away and shut down your computer
Trader Bob.
Very lame. I pulled that prank on Wally and the Beav when I was ten years old.
That’s Fly’s direct line. My brother got me with that bullshit today, I’m dying to get somebody else.
I’m sorry for offending the classy bloggers on this website. please don’t ban me fly.
Out of curiosity, how come Trader Bob’s ‘thumbs up / Thumbs down’ is Grey-ed out to me, as in I can’t give him a + or – ?? Is it an IP address thing?
I am in Vancouver, does that mean TraderBob is as well? Or?
My “IP knowledge” is pretty limited…
STRAIGHT UP:
We need a tabbed blogger who has some fucking “ins” with major brokerage houses and banks. I see fools out there talking about a few select stocks everyday like it’s the only options available to mankind. There has to be some dude who worked on a trading floor for a while, likes to swear and finds out from his buddies where the big $$$ is going each day.
Everyday there is a different trade and it could be in any sector. We all have too narrow a fucking focus and it’s costing us $$$. Even if you trade with a few million you’re still a fucking piker in this game. Real money starts at $100 Million +++. I’d like to ride on some institutional $$$’s coat tails for a bit.
I was just checking the Peanut Gallery…
You chart fuckers make me sick. Seriously charts are “ok” but they are NOT the end all be all. If I see someone else in the Peanut Gallery that is just posting a shitload of charts I may just shoot myself. Realistically suicide just isn’t my thing so I’ll just stop reading it and exclusively read Fly’s posts and occasional Ragin’ Cajuns as I do now.
We “interweb” people don’t like reading charts. If we did we wouldn’t be scouring financial blogs for people’s opinions and looking in our eTrade accounts ourselves.
Too many of you fucks are writing like you’re talking to your teacher or even worse, your mother. This is ibankcoin and a certain level of profanity and other generally offensive content is expected; if not required to make a good post.
Furthermore we need more dudes saying what positions they are jumping into and why to some extent. I’m just “some dude” who knows fucking squat compared to many of you. That said I could read a few articles on google finance and put together a “thesis” which is just basically a rehashed, regurgitated and vaguer version of the original pieces. Fuck theories talk about what you’re actually doing.
“The Fly” is so fucking popular on this blog and in general because he’s refreshingly profane, he tells you where he’s putting his $$$ as it happens and his posts are fucking entertaining. On a final note if he does include pictures they are generally funny or offensive and not some bullshit graph.
Timely, actionable and profanity laden posts are why I come here, why the fuck do you come here?
Have a good fucking evening everyone,
“Some Dude” who wants another reason to visit this site obsessively.
First execution occurs tonight!!!!
I reside in Cleveland, Ohio. That’s a good question as to why you can’t give me a thumbs up or down.
I bought FAZ at the close on Friday at $10.46, We’ll see how that works out for me. I’m averaging in at $13.80.
You assume these websites are in existence to gather suckers. You can’t rely on anyone to give you advice. Following the Fly would be a losing proposition. I’ve followed his site for a couple of months. I’m not impressed. I come here to entertain myself. It’s an entertaining site. In my opinion all of the Fly’s contributors are asswranglers.
So, we’re getting right to the meat of the violence and gore… bring it on.
Too bad my election ad isn’t up yet. Shoot just refer to the sign on my garage … I’m representing ibc, vote Boca!
I could tell that you really aren’t from a big city like Cleveland. Probably Akron/Canton. And if you are from Cleveland I would guess The Flats area.
Go Zips.

I think you have posted this on the wrong site. Please head over to thestreet.com and repost.
Thanks.
I’m a Akron attendee, flunked out after the first semester. I live in a van down by the river near the flats. Good guess. The economy has hit me hard. A victim of the foreclosure crisis. I used to own a trailor, double wide of course.

Eddie Haskell,
Does your mom still have her wooden teeth or did the termites get them? In a small city like Cleveland many people think teeth are a luxury. Go to a Browns game and see for yourself.
And I would guess you lived near Route 8 in a fire trap just a stones throw from Buchtel Hall.
Probably my neighbor.
@Trader Bob,
Why the fuck are you averaging into a 3X ETF? I’ve never heard of one success story. Averaging into a stable stock is one thing… Averaging into a rotting decay written diseased derelict corpse of a trading vehicle is another.
Why not take it like a man and set a mental stop and if it blows through it cut your losses?
Just curious as I’m “Some Dude” who has gotten fucked over by these ETF’s near the start of what could only be described as “pathetic trading career”.
Averaging into an ETF is the mark of a bad trader. I took the Fly’s lead and averaged down.
I don’t go to any Brown’s games anymore because I miss the urinals that looked like a horse trough at the old Muni Stadium
308 – a “grayed out” rating typically means you’ve already clicked on it at least once.
Also, the bow-tied one is on bloomberg saying America is “so 20th century” and the smart people are moving to Asia
i would throw my hat in the ring but im to busy to post during market hours ..
Arch,
Can you be reached during market hours at 416-640-5050?
Give it up Trader Bob.
Try the whoopee cushion next.
Fly,
Any comments on the market? I think the broad markets are overbought and we are heading lower. Do you have any shitty picks like SRS or FAZ?
nope im incognito
