This is an unbelievably, comedic, sad, pathetic, riveting article. An instant classic, regarding the wonderful life and times of none other, Lenny Dykstra.

Citi out big on RIMM tonight:
Upgrade to Buy $100 Target and adding to Top Pick’s Live.
I get all my investment advice from Bill Buckner.
I read this article a couple nights ago. This guy talks like he grew up in the Bronx and never graduated elementary school. He calls his mom crying to ask for 23 grand so he can charter a jet out of Cleveland when his Gulfstream was impounded.
I mean take fucking coach you broke retard, don’t rob your family. Also, I wonder if he will ever sell that Gretsky house for 16 mill.
man it’s riveting. When you think it can’t get any worse worse it does…Cramer liked his stock picks.
It’s a like s series of car accidents piled up one after the other.
It seems he must have used the ” you’ll get the money once I sell the Gretsky house” a hundred million times over.
The Fly is God.
The fly is not god, Zombie. He may be godlike but he’s not god.
“It’s about living the dream, bro”
Wow, that is a SPECTACULAR article on Dykstra! The article is VERY long and after a page or two you might be tempted to think that it can’t get any better — but it does. It just keeps getting better every page. “Sampras plays on this court dude!” FUCKING AWESOME!
He’s planning to pay everyone off with proceeds from all the lightbulbs he steals before the next owner moves in.
He’ll probably take all the toilet chains and cabinet knobs too, to make jewelery from.
Cramer is soiling his JoeBoxers imagining what kind of way-too-late public statement he’s going to have to issue when he finally divorces this athletard(TM).
I ALMOST was embarrassed for him reading it. He is so fucking stupid, it’s unbelievable.
The part where he and another scammer, former NFL player, partner up is classic. He thought he’d get them with his cashmere sweater.
I think we know why oil has crashed… everyone has stopped buying Lenny’s fuel
A good find, to be sure. It makes sense that Cramer couldn’t spot the facade. That probably would have entailed a look in the mirror.
goldman sachs put dykstra on their convicted buy list.
That article indeed belongs on ESPN (Instant) Classic. Even better than the GQ one from a few weeks ago.
How does this man have ANY credibility left?? I find this simply baffling.
It takes talent to average 3 lawsuits/month for the last 6 months.
What a douche, “dude”.
This is an article I read about the guy a few weeks back…. Pretty good and detailed.
Only in America which is why I love the place to death and never wanted to leave.
Only in America would you read about some dude calling his mom at three in the morn looking to borrow 23G off her credit card because his own are all maxed out and crying to her to let him hit her card to hire a fucking private jet.
Only in a America.
God I love the place.
Asshat. Of. The. Month.
I spent my evening re-imaging a failed hard drive instead of doing my homework assignment.
Lesson 1: If it’s important, make a backup.
Lesson 2: Even when you do make a backup, unless you’re automating it on a nightly basis, you’re still gonna lose an evening or two getting things put back together just right.
Lesson 3: In a month full of asshattery, and with a week to go, I’m declaring now that this man, having spent a career in distilling the elixir of vapidity into a vile black ichor of concentrated ignorance, should — nay, must — be declared the Asshat of the Month.
I second ‘The Equalizer’s notion for an immediate Asshat award for Dykstra. Long overdue, methinks.

Nightly backups, indeud (yet another beloved ‘just works’ feature of the Mac). Plus, online redundant storage for the most important ones. A must.

And +1 for teaching me a now word: ‘ichor’. Nice one.
“I’m gonna get them with my cashmere, bro – gotta go make some money.”
Holy shit – that is my new motto – FOREVER.

hmm, same same, but I have to say the PPT is quite impressive!
Fly, Please block my new addy – I just can’t help myself 😉
This is what happens when fully grown males, with the emotional capacity of a small child, wholeheartedly subscribe to someone else’s dreamed-up bullshit paradigm… hook, line and sinker.
Create your own paradigm. Fuck trying to impress others. What a waste of fucking time.
This is a non-story because it represents a culturally insignificant individual who contributed nothing tangibly worthwhile to the world around them.
FREAKIN’ MANIPULATING, TRUTH HOLDING BASTARDS
How are they allowed to not reveal it all? EVERY OTHER PTC has to divulge. I demand the truth- even if I can’t handle the truth

Reaction to Friday’s(Pre-stress test) announcement could help policy makers decide what the results announcement should reveal, Talbott said.
“They will release enough data to satisfy everyone to some degree,” he said, “but they have to try to minimize incorrect conclusions.”
Razncane —
Stress tests or not, the US dollar must fail and the US middle class must be obliterated, to make room for the NWO. The government will never tell the truth, ever, so stop sticking your ear to a bucket of tofu.
Maw’s in the back room doing some voodoo on amazon so that we can at least get our money back.
I told you Dykstra was a prick.
prof…next time maybe you should PLEDGE that money to Biafra on a yearly– based on P&L
Mr. Cronkite, with words of wisdom:
The speculative mania always moves on to a new asset class. After the dot-com bubble popped, the speculative bubble moved on to housing. Now that the housing bubble has popped, the mania has moved to the bond market. When the bond bubble bursts (it’s guaranteed that it will in the next two years, losing 50% or more in the process) then the only asset class which hasn’t already been blown into a bubble is precious metals/gold.
In other words: those wishing to catch the next speculative mania should be buying gold and silver, not stocks, housing or bonds.
Indeud!

Better yet.
Instead of making real time calls on the market (like Fly,Prof,DD, etc.) and hanging it out there just fake it and do arm chair quarterbacking like some of these posters do (you know who you are) and look like a hero after the fact.
Take heart, bears. Mr. Obama is doing all he can to make sure Al Qu’aeda’s got a reason for living.

Looks like Lenny is not showing up at the Street.com’s website. Their options service is now Dr J. and not Lenny. Jon Najarian now writes the “deep in the money calls” newsletter.
No mention of “nails on the numbers.”
A quiet ending.
fly this guy is taking your exact picks and telling everybody he made them hes getting a lot of attention on twitter this guy doesnt no shit bro ive been following you for a while check it out http://twitter.com/kunal00
this article was posted on another blog site a few days ago… nice rip off douchebag
Jake- There are so many things Obama is affirmatively undertaking to destroy the security of this country and or our freedoms to curry favor with dictators it isn’t funny. Here is one not being reported much and it is sickening (I won’t even post the news story about the arms he wants to send to Hezbollah via Lebanon from Turkey).
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090422/ap_on_go_ot/us_iran_embassy_hostages
Here he is kissing Iran’s ass by hurting our own people held hostage by Iran in the late ’70s.
Prof…tell me what I can do to help your effort.
Rain dance? I need some serious smackdown in th jungle
Short AMZN for a couple weeks now. Target $60.
PE of 50+. PEG ratio over 2….their profits need to double from here to justify the price.
well, here we go again with the start of todays fuckery.
on Bloomberg just now, Geithner has received a copy of the “white paper” and also the heads of the banks today. they will not release them to the public until “later”
reading between the lines = “not until we have figured out how to manipulate these findings and re-write them to hide the truth”
carry on.
Fuck the ACLU. They are ‘righting’ us right into destruction.
this article was posted on another blog site a few days ago… nice rip off douchebag.
This lame attempt to get visitors to a cricket filled website has been tried a couple of times before as well.
Still rather pathetic.
_______
also, like Jake wrote about, shippers like UPS and DSX and DRYS and FDX tell alot about the economy….less packages equals less activity between companies.
The president and Geithner can blab all they want with lies and fuckery about how better everything is getting, but the real tell tell signs are out there for anyone to research and see.
And all the female hosts at Bloomberg and CNBC are wet with excitment over the “release of the stress tests” as if it was the newest release of the latest pocket book by Coach…. check it out.
BUCY! So soon F will be bought by the Ford family, that will surely piss off some people but who cares.
Ok so FAZ is on its way back to zero, fun fun. Where is DEVILDOG?
guppyworldwide
Not to worry, Maw’s got the situation under control.

That’s not me, the down under j, by the way.
Flys- LVLT pick looks ready to ramp…
Dykstra appears to be an unmitigated train wreck.
The dude is finished.
Done for the AM.
Thanks SMH short.
Watching NEM. If it doesn’t do it’s usual collapse GDX may be a good one to trade today.
played golf with Dykstra 2 yrs ago..Outback-pro am….he is a complete dick…we were playing with Lanny Wadkins as our pro…Lanny told Dykstra he should take up fishing..
Microsoft is experiencing “the most difficult economic environment the company has faced in our history,” Chief Financial Officer Chris Liddell said on a conference call.
“I didn’t see any improvement at the end of the quarter that gives me encouragement that we’re at a bottom and we’re getting out of it,” Liddell said.
Microsoft also declined to offer much specific guidance for its current quarter, saying only that it expects to pull costs down because it has seen no clear sign of a coming economic turnaround.
And the Idiot bulltards bid the stock up higher. Why?
The financials seem to be out of step with the indexs overall. Has my suspicions raised a bit that the market will start selling off here.
Friday=trash day
Uncle Greed is visiting the Bulltards and he is so entertaining that they don’t even know they are about to take it up the cornhole. Hope the Bulltards can exist when the elevator enters another free fall.
Keep waiting/hoping/praying for a sell-off you beartards. Its comedic. The more you post here, the more I buy.
Market is on shaky grounds here.
Chips overall down,AAPL down,GS down,NASDAQ 100 under performing. It’s just oils,MSFT and some homies.
beware:
companies are onto the “game” now. They know that all they have to do is announce “guidance” for the rest of the year (knowing they have no clue what tomorrow brings) but they know that all they have to do is make up some rosie shit, just slightly better than horrible and the stock will shoot up.
companies new gig will be posting guidance, knowing if the shit goes south all they have to do is re do it lower. But the game now, you will start to see is a new fuckery lie of good guidance from lots of companies
they know this alone will pump their share price up, even though it’s bullshit.
carry on.
Wait a fucking minute here, didn’t I read the same thing a few weeks ago about one of his employees?
“Last month, though, on March 23, Dykstra picked up the phone and woke up his mother with a call at around 6 in the morning, according to Kevin Dykstra, his younger brother. Lenny was stranded in Cleveland. He wanted to charter a jet so he could get to a business meeting on the West Coast, and his credit cards were maxed out. He needed nearly $23,000 and asked his mother for it, Kevin says.”
Wasn’t that what the guy in NYC did too and his wife got pissed that he “loaned” it to him?
Apparently it’s Bulltards vs Beartards.

Congratulations, you’re the 1 millionth person to post this in the last 2 months.
Bahahahaha
Dykstra says confidently, “Have I got a 12-inch c—, or what? Of course, it is all in place. It might not look like it, but everything I do is part of a plan.”
you heard it here first. gay.
^^^^^^^^^^^
Homo sez “projection?”
___________
Meanwhile, Mr. Anderson has achieved liftoff.
(on light volume, heh).

Dykstra lies.
I remember the team showers.
Davey Johnson will verify.
This market is like Iron Mike Tyson, all strong, kicking ass, taking names, and he is the biggest name in sports. Then, everyone catches on that he is a total whack job and drop him like a walking AIDS victim that infects by the touch. I hear Dykstra has full blown AIDS too. Tyson vs. Dykstra, that would be pure capitalism.
FLY= GODFATHER complex trader. More info as time goes on!
Gappy, Lenny’s credit card rates were doubled by BAC thus putting him over his limit and unable to purchase fuel, lap dances and cigarettes.
Nice call in STAR, Mr. Fly. Bravo.
yeah j is right fly this guy name kunal on twitter is saying all those picks you make are his and im getting fed up with it http://twitter.com/kunal00
yeah I have seen that too. Maybe kuna100 is copying…or he and FLy are working together or…he is Fly.
hmmm….
whatever it is, they are remarkably similar picks. Indued.
CFK breaking out of triangle
FLY..your GU looking good again..with some of these other bullshit china plays ripping (aka EFUT)
They sure love their Popeye’s Fried Chicken in Minneapolis.

Methinks NOV is worth a look here. Good action in SLB, OII, RIG, et al. Ultimate play on better economy (higher crude), summer driving season ahead. Next dip below $30 (near 50 day ma) I may play.

$URRE is on fire, and has no resistance till $1.00. Just broke through .80c
If you like money, grab some right now. $$$$
Wait, did you call that an article? That’s a motherfucking dissertation about a washed up ball player. I love you Fly, but I’m not reading that shit.
Melt fucking up….shorts could get deep fired like some blackened naked chicken wings from Winghouse…!! If banks get a bid after 2pm…its a fucking rocket launch.
Just bought 20K FAZ @ 8.52. Thanks bulls.

$FAZ is NOT a safe buy here. Wait for VIX reversal, shit-for-brains.
Just closed out of my $URRE trade for 30% gains in less than an hour.
charlie, VIX already did asshole for a mouth. Watch and learn dumb fucking douchebag.
Devildog = Lenny Dykstra
It’s another blockbuster day for the inverse ETFs.
Hey DD, you have been and will continue to get oWnEd by the bulls. STFU!!
HA! Canadian government says “non” to Chrysler’s plea for bankruptcy protection:
http://www.reuters.com/article/CARMFG/idUSN2448045720090424
“Well, the preferred option is that there is no bankruptcy protection because the company (has become) viable and has reached a deal in this case with (Italian car maker) Fiat (FIA.MI) in order to move forward,” Clement told reporters.
here is another lenny story published in gq:
http://men.style.com/gq/features/full?id=content_8558
stress test will be released as very positive..thereby letting the bank stocks rally further..giving the illusion all is great with banks..Then at higher prices they will reverse this by diluting the fuck out of shareholders..Govt Fuckery Theory.
Anyone take my advice on buying DXO at $2.48 a couple days ago?
The Fed is rearranging the stress test results to their liking, when they get it all cooked they will then serve it.
the cooking is not yet done. They ran out of paper and erasers, had to send a secretary out to buy more, they’ll be done soon, hang in there.
you know it’s going to be wonderful, might as well load up on WFC and C and BAC and GS and JPM now, you know they will miraculously be “rosie” results.
Dumbdog, the VIX is consolidating for another spike up to the 40s, once that happens then it’s time to get bearish.
Flysack,
What’s up with your TLT position? I’ve been killing it with the TBT position.
Jake, when to sell CBL? Lenny Dystra just bought FAZ – odd, no? Get some gold here people – miners, or metal.
buy FAS…Jamie Dimon probably had his great uncle Joe buy some in a secret family account in New Jersey…odd no..?
I have obtained a copy of the Stress Test Questions from an unnamed source.
Here it is (don’t tell anyone):

You must answer all three questions correctly and if not you have failed and we are taking your ass over.
Good luck (especially you C).

I sold half yesterday… I gotta think some kind of buyout is in the water, though… this is nuts.

$SPY just filled Monday’s gap.
This is the “real” Stockgod. I did not post that message 2 above. We’re not that pathetic. Kunal and I, and the rest of us on BullsOnWallStreet know where the picks come from. We don’t care if people take them and profit, that’s what twitter is for isn’t it? Collaboration for the masses.
