Thanks to Jeremy and his staff of Finnish elves for working, slavishly, in order to reintroduce and relaunch the New iBankCoin on this glorious day of child molester deaths and stock market melt ups. As some of you know, reading my missives via The PPT, I made more than 3% during today’s trading session. However, this blog is not about me, but iBankCoin in general.
The new site is blessed with a PPT widget, that will give access to the average fucktard (you) to know how my brain aka The PPT is ranking the entire market, at all times, for FREE. That’s right peasants, “The Fly” is gifting you fuckers with a little taste of mathematical precision. Second, “The Fly” has inserted over 200 videos, of all genres, into “the iBC database,” for amusement and educational purposes. Next, we inserted a poll widget, which will be used to gauge market sentiment on a weekly basis. As you know, I enjoy betting against most of you. So, this new tool will give me access to your wrongness, 24/7, a true gift from you to me.
In addition, we improved upon our “recent comments” widget. Check it out; it is insanely splendid. And, I added the Stocktwits widget, which should be on every blog/financial website in America. If you are not familiar with Stocktwits, then you have been living in a cave for a long, long time and do not deserve the luxuries of the internet. In short, it is a place where stock ideas are shared, in real time. Some of the ideas are flat out idiotic. However, Howard and Co do a great job at filtering out the yahoo message board-esque noise, while keeping the discussions lively and relevant. If you are not a member, go sign up; it’s free.
Finally, we have changed the entire look of iBankCoin for a reason. That reason is plainly explained in a quote: “It’s not a game anymore.” We endeavor to be the #1 financial site known to mankind. To do so, I will need to throw many old fuckers down rusty sewer pipes, while besmirching and defeating thousands of natural enemies (by natural, I mean fucktard with a mustache). For those of you who have been here from day 1, reading my posts, you’re welcome. Without a doubt, “The Fly” has saved and made the people from the internets millions of dollars. With some luck and a little hard work, I intend to make you fuckers zillions.
UPDATE: The iBC IT department is fast asleep, after working 24 hours straight, without rest. First thing tomorrow, we will hook up blogs to front page. As of now, only my blog is updating to the front page. We will adorn the PG box to the front page and also fix the font fuckery taking place in there. In addition, I understand The PPT module is creating an issue with some corporate spam guards. We will address that too. And, finally, we will affix the headers back onto the blogs. If you notice, they look quite bare without them.
UPDATE II: Chart Addict has a fresh post up.
If you enjoy the content at iBankCoin, please follow us on Twitter
Looking great!
BOSS.
thanks. You are the first commenter on new site.
This is incredible! Well done Fly & Jeremy!
Our upgrades are not this cool
Asia following us again, crappy JPN data and the Nikkei goes up
Been following for a long time now…. Just like the Jefferson’s, moving on up! Site looks great. Still looking for an accounting job in Florida (sorry shameless plug, only so I can afford the PPT and move beyond my less than piker status). Golf claps all around.
And thus begins Chapter 3: iBankCoin Gets Leather Jacket and Gold Chain
Not gonna lie. I liked the old layout better. This kind of makes it look like a really tacky blog or something. Plus it seems too cluttered. Just being honest….
pleasing to the eye
Great!! Styling!!
But as always the content will keep us coming back. and after three months of following, I’m still here!

Lying cocksucker.
Also, if this is even has a hint of the truth, “With some luck and a little hard work, I intend to make you fuckers zillions.”
You will have the world here!!!
Shit. Vincenzo forgot to hook up the other bloggers to front page.
VINCENZO!!!!!!!!!
Something worth reading… for those who sincerely have an interest in what’s going on, beyond the ego posturing…

Enjoy!
By the way, anyone hearing rumors about the Mormons pulling out of the insurance industry, due to expectations of massive future financial losses? Despite that they currently have plenty of money to pay out policies?
Hey, it’s good looking site, Fly. It’s like moving offices from say 38th street (nowheresville) to 5h ave midtown.
Perhaps the reason the Dog hasn’t updated his Monday blog is because he was waiting for the new site along?
Now getting back to these markets… Reuters is saying the IPO market is very strong which is another sign of a thawing out.
Mormon church-owned Beneficial Financial to stop selling insurance and wind down business
By Associated Press
1:07 PM MDT, June 16, 2009
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Beneficial Financial Group plans to selling insurance policies on Oct. 31 and eventually go out of business.
Corporate executives say Beneficial Financial — part of a holding company owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints — could be around for decades honoring life insurance policies for existing customers, but the company won’t write any new policies.
Deseret Management Corp. chief executive Mark Willes says Beneficial isn’t a big enough player to protect itself from insurance risks in the current economic climate. Willes says he saw limited opportunity for the company that doesn’t justify the risks.
Willes says Beneficial will continue to service life insurance policies and annuities for about 100,000 customers, which could keep the company in business for 60 more years.
WTF:
Where’s Cronkite. He has to have a prominent part of the site. He’s the best news beagle in the market.
Fuck the mormons, no offense to Mitt Romney of course.
he is on front page. Are you blind?
By the way, none of the blogs, except mine, are properly updating to front page. Jeremy is fast asleep and no one is avail to fix it. So, visit the bloggers main page, until fixed.
Fly:
You gotta stick the news beagle on the side of the page. He’s too far down.
Vinnnie, Jeremy, please fix it.
Fly,
I’m being serious you cock sucker. The site no looka so good. You made it look really cheap. Like some sort of shiity blogspot template. Then again, no one comes here for the eye candy. They just want to hear you flip your coins and be the loudest kid on the playground….
nope.
He must stay there, traffic stats dictate it so.
Clean, clear layout.
“Startlingly clear,” as MJ said before collapsing.
Thanks Jeremy and company.
Sad to go to “blogs” and not see Alpha, tho.
Stanely fuckface.
Your opinion is worthless, like Saddam money. So, with that in mind, why don’t you scurry along to your Lee Jean outlet to get yourself some new pants. i suspect you are in the ultra-minority.
Fuck with me again and I will ban you, mainly for fun.
BTW: The headers on the blogs will be readded tomorrow. Jeremy was up 24 hours straight. There are a few minor things that will be added.
FLY:
The traffic stats may not be showing how well read the beagle actually is. Sticking him down below the water level would cause a lot of people not to take a look at the news as they could forget. In any event clicking on his podcasts etc. could usually be done from the front page.
Anton, FFS have an opinion and side with me on this one instead of being the perpetual fence sitter.
The Beagle has to be at the top of the hit parade, Anton.
(Tim reeads his charts upside down and has very gay posts)
he is as high as I can put him. Where do you want him, fucking headline? Replace Featured Blogger? Can’t.
No… at the top on the left side where sorta used to be, as there’s plenty of space it seems.
Anton show some spine and fucking help here man.
Oh look who got his ass kicked all thru grade school and then discovered he was a bad ass motherfucker on the internet. I love you Internet tough guys. Go fuck yourself in your big mouth fly.
And try to ban me. I fucking dare you you tiny cocked faggot. By the way, I am gay.
J
I am starting to lose my fucking patience. HE IS ON THE UPPER LEFT. WTF are you talking about?
FUCKKKKKKKKKKK
You people make me angry sometimes.
Stanley
That’s right, I am an internet gangster. in real life, I’d just pay someone to hit you in the head with a crowbar, while sipping on your favorite chardonnay.
Fuck off.
Speaking of missing…
Did the Peanut Gallery become too embarrassingly non-distinguished to get a featured (a la latest posts, etc.) on the front page??
*tear*
No. Jeremy forgot to link the other blogs to the front page. So, if any blogger or PG’er posts, it will not show on front page, until Jeremy wakes up.
Oh shit, he forgot to put the PG box on there. Fuck. He will fix it tomorrow.
Cheers.
IT Slaves work better after a few hours of sleep.
Put him up to the left of prior posts or if that’s a space limitation or stick the beagle in place of PPT stats… that is if we must head stage right.
Stanley, go swallow a used dildo you fuckhead.
everything will be fixed tomorrow. I sort of rushed the relaunch. My bad.
J
Space limitation.
NO.
Sidebar is for utility.
However, I will be drawing headline news stories, in addition to Cron, soon. I will place it towards the bottom. You will have to live with CRONKITE not being the #1 blog on iBC.
Geez.
J,
The drugs here stateside are of much higher quality, but I will try to get on your wavelength.
Yes, I believe that Cronkite is not a ‘blogger” so much as a news ticker/information aggregator. His posts, for the sake of editorial clarity, should be set apart.
If it wouldn’t melt Fly’s server, I’d like to see an old-school streaming headline banner with the lede of his most recent post displayed prominently near the top of the site.
And speaking of useful additions I don’t see here, did a great white eat your currency exchange blog, J?
Crikey!
Time for bed for me. You kids stay up as long as you like playing with the new site and don’t forget to tell Jeremy that his pocket protector looks “way cool” when he wakes up in the sleeping bag under his desk.
Nice job, Fly.
I like that it’s monochrome Looks a tad too old byron weinesque wall street ….ya might wanna think about that…then again I miss the old pre Giuliani Times Square!
Yeah, funk it up a bit here and there and ya gots yourself one nice site…congrats
I think you heard me the first time.
Please eliminate the redundant post. And bring back the edit function.
After Jeremy’s had a Pop Tart and a Red Bull, of course.
“Crikey”
You speak strine now Anton?
I learned Aussie from those, “It’s Australian fuh beer, mate” commercials.
G’night and G’day!
PS: “Stanley Steamer” = “Perez Hilton”
Does that make fly Paris Hilton?
Nice work Fly, looks clean and professional. Your site has come a long way since the the blogspot of 3 years ago. Did Shed request the country biscuits?
Here is a must read link found and posted by Indie under Gazprom (GAZ) on the PPT. Warning, you may bust a gut from laughing: http://zerohedge.blogspot.com/2009/06/gazprom-and-state-of-nigeria-create-jv.html
I saw. that is hilarious.
Thanks. Off for a few hrs sleep.

Way to put those flying bricks to good use yet once again. Re the zillions of dollars, back at ya.
Aside from missing the most recent PG posts on the Home Page,
Donald Fagan says IBC is a steam powered 10 … the frame is out of Glasgow and the tech is Balinese, a mobile biosphere complete with hydroponic farm, and sets off up the Trans-Island Sky-way to Five Zoos, where “That noon sun is blinding/The tide pools are boiling”.
So follow Fly as he continues his journey through this luxuriously ravaged future landscape, eventually arriving, in the concluding Teahouse On The Tracks, in bleak Fly-town, “…out where hope and the highways ends.”
Not bad der hey for one of dem Minnesotan’s
Excellent work on the new site. Thanks.
love the fucking revamp, very classy. IBC disciple forever.
Nicely done .very clean look. And it does look more professional..Kudos FLY and JEREMY
Fly,
Love the new site. Missed not having yesterday, especially with the mrkt flying high.
Good stuff, thanks!
Thank you Fly.
Good job.
Not sure which gravatar to use.
A+ Looks great.
Looking good!
You couldn’t have done it without me.
Well done.
-DT
Me likey… svelte stuff indeud
Jeremy, Was it only 24 hours straight?
Looking good thanks for the update … now how do we see the comments section updated.
You dumfuks are jumping to conclusions about this site redesign as fast as you change from bearish to bullish and back back on the markets. In short, you dumfuks have no brains or patience.
Rally into July 4 holiday, then a month of weakness to the early August low.
I stopped reading at “we inserted a poll widget”….I already have a Gore Cap and Trade insertion scheduled for today.
tight.
would love to see the archive drop down of old somewhere. love reading the old shit.
congrats to all.
Thanks all.
JG,
There should be an archive drop-down right above the blogroll.
Gravatar testing…
Arggg, that’s not the one I want.
see it.
prostrations to all.
Thanks for the Gravatar.
GBP – Why are we “Dumfuks”? We all know how much work it is to roll out a new site, PLUS new hardware, etc., etc. It’s amazing everything works. I’m sure Fly and his IT staff of thousands appreciate us finding a few bugs, and missing pieces.
Fly, Jeremy, and whoever else. Great job.
1st Class.
Great work… but why are the comments left centered now? Has this something to do with the Obama vote?
Silvers are running again, btw.
____
NICE!!!
Give Jeremy and the boys some extra spending money for the weekend.
Let’s give this a shot.
TC, gravatars are cached. Therefore, it will take some time for the new one to update. I changed mine about an hour ago, and the old one is still showing. If you figure out how to speed it up, let me know!
Magic:
When i click on ‘Recent Comments’ for King of the PG, that whole section disappears and reappears at the bottom left.
SOEN moving nicely
read comments on CA blog – company picked up $20M contract – was a .32 stock – opened at .33 – now .39
FY ‘06 TOTAL REVENUE $0M
FY ‘07 TOTAL REVENUE $5.5M
FY ‘08 TOTAL REVENUE $29.4M
1Q ‘09 TOTAL REVENUE $4.4M
(today annouced contract value $20M)
Nice work! The new site looks great. Keep up the good work all.
Yes, Wood I just read it in the Q&A on the site.
I guess you can clear the cache but I will just wait.
Trying to add Judge Smelts in lieu of groundskeeper Spackler.
The new look has more class and looks more PRO-Level. Good job.
Awesome, this site is going to be a contender against fool.com in no time. The new layout seals the deal.
If you think crap and trade is crap better call your Rep. immediately.
If you like crap and trade don’t call as the vote is scheduled for next month.
I am beginning to grasp the awesomeness that is the new iBC
Note to Jeremy:
ChartAddict’s last comment re: TIBX in the box on right has ++++++++ line running off the right edge of the frame.
FTK is insolvent.
FTK can convert bonds to equity right now if they wanted. Learn to read bank covenants.
Fly, love the site. Aside from gasping at the awe that is this site, any buy/sells today?
Fly, overall I like the look of the new site. Certainly looks classier. And Jake must love the silver and gold overtones 🙂 It will take some getting used to as far as where things are (like no comments link on the main blog pages, so it took me a sec to find the comments, etc.).
I have a couple of things I am missing however realizing this is still a work in progress. As far as the Peanut Gallery, no voting buttons anymore? And I don’t see the top Peanut Gallery ranking anymore. Of course as an aspiring Peanut I am concerned about any loss in Peanut functionality!
Love the new look!!
I’m LONG IBC
New post up.. Had to tighten the font on today’s JCHP review, but I hope you’ll forgive that in exchange for the additional “Weightings” information that I’m giving out today.
Jacksons in Mourning!
(not really)
_______
looks good….all I would do, one day, is have the comments section auto refresh whenever a new comment is posted so we pikers do not have to constantly hit our refresh to see any new comments….
The site looks exquisite. Congratulations.
new post up
Nice new site
Fly,
The site is outstanding! Very professional. Next, you need to make your name stand out. Something like a halo or at least brighter letters so that it is easy to pick out as I scroll. As it is, you’re just another blogger in the list. Not befitting your status. Maybe do the something for RC, Chart Addict, etc. on their blogs too.
…
New theme looks great, but please consider centering the blog!!
I can’t read it all the way on the left, makes me nauseous.
Can’t believe nobody else mentioned it, you must all be using tiny monitors.
Phanta
It is centered on most browsers. I have a 24 inch monitor and it is fine. We will fix all issues this weekend.
Phanta — I’ve mentioned it twice now. I’ve got a crick in my neck from it.
————-
ATT — make sure you all call or email your reps to make sure this Cap &Trade bullshit does not get through. This is the kind of bullshit that makes Smoot Hawley look smart as far as perpetrating Great Depressions.
Fucking brainless idiots in charge. It’s frightening.

Fly…WOW !
Been away for a few days…hardly recognized the place !
Nice new look…pretty damn slick !
Congrats !
