iBC Needs Your Vote

In order to sway a rogue Canadian blog contest. So you know, iBankCoin reigned supreme in this same poll about a year ago. Apparently, winning internet glory once was not enough for Senor Tropicana. He wants to win it again, and again, and again, and again….

    Sorry, I was about to levy my sinecure when, lo, it appeared… the competition you’ve always dreaded.

    I just voted and IBC is showing up in the pitiful position of 6th place.

    Leave it to those wily Canadians to run this poll over the Fourth of July week when all good American interneters (I know, but it should be a word) are BBQ-ing fireworks and lighting off hot dogs. I may have had too much to drink. Developing…

    Well you have my vote, of course, but it’s going to be tough to compete with the content on Squawkfox.

    I just downloaded “10 Reasons to Love Raised Garden Beds” – that shit is the bomb!!

    You need to have the tabbed ones write about Spanish moss and root rot or this site’s in T-rubble.

    Friday was strange because I wasn’t trading and had to go to bed early my time as I drank some really shitty wine that evening. It wouldn’t have been strange if I had stayed up 🙂

    Dude it’s summer Friday and anything can happen in a market that is still gripped with fear and tension.

    “I am optimistic that, long-term, we can work our way out of this crisis but we need to do it through hard work, not make-believe games that everything got magically better with no pain at all and, until the market begins to embrace that reality, I will continue to watch the sky for signs of cracks, just in case…. ”

    This is so true and this is the point I kept trying to make… People want the easy way out and “make believe” that everything is alright and think by “thinking” that way, all the problem will go away… fu**ing American, you need to take some pain ok, no more happy happy days… Jesus, just get this through the thick skull of your’s…

    things are shitty. but you know what, things were pretty damn shitty before (fuck those last 8 years which culminated in the big jizz fest of fall 08) and we’re still here making dosh. don’t dwell. learn, adapt, move on. what’s the next big thing? somewhere the sun is shinning. where’s that? refuse change at your own perils.

    Why are you guys voting for Fly in that poll? If he gains popularity as a result it means more people possibly trading his views when it could be you trading at that price.

    If you really like Fly and his views, you should be voting against him, not for him.
