Get Ready for the Revolution

As Hollywood people drop like flies, a revolution is brewing, like a bullshit 40oz. of Colt 45 malt liquor. A technology revolution, fuckface, not some “I’m mad at the government and I’m not gonna take it any longer” variety. It is coming and it will be gifuckulous.

Just in case you are wondering “WTF is this asshole talking about?” Your  broke ass will have to bribe a “Distinguished Gentleman” of The PPT for scraps of information. In other words, my new investment thesis is for closers only.

As an aside, LG display just surprised to the upside.

Long live 32 inch LCD screens and all the shit that goes with it.

Disclosure: long Corning Incorporated [[GLW]] (now my #1 position by size) and loving it.

    Telecomm industry ramping worldwide. India, China, US, etc. Networks everywhere are being upgraded. Not to mention their capacity utilization numbers that have held up well through the “recession.” Bribery is for the lazy.

    Couple of suggestions:

    1. Its tough to focus in on the other bloggers pieces of work. It all just blends in and is VERY distracting to look for the time stamp on the most recent post. Please highlight the most recent post of the Fab 6. Do something–maybe tweek the colors or something. I feel when scanning the home page that the webite is throwing up all over the place.

    2. Most people prefer to see the entire page without having to scroll down. Its a pain in the ass and you lose focus. People are more likely to spend LESS time at the site because once they scroll down they feel like they have seen everyting and nothing is worth scrolling back up —and down– up and down—- etc. You dig? Kinda like when Im bangin a dude after I suck him off. –up down—up down.

    More suggestions on the way……..

    3. The comment section font is way to small. And, once again, it all justt blends in together and throws up.

    Change the fonts, shade the background a different color, make the names pop,

    I feel like Im going ot a funeral when I read this site.–dark, ugly, and very AVERAGE.

    I hope you didnt pay a lot for this new design. Let me create a templete (for free) and see how much more appealing and inviting it would be to the eyes.

    The way its set up now, its like the toilet. When you want to get on and off as fast as possible. Instead of grabbing the paper and hanging out for a while.

    Two things:

    I see right through you. You are nothing more than a jealous two bit developer, with a bullshit blog under your management.

    The new site design is loved by 99.9% of our readers. Your opinions mean nothing, so fuck off. As for hearing pin drops, the site has never had more traffic. Once again: fuck off, I do not like or need you as a reader.

    I like it, end of story. Move on.

    The best thing about iBC is that it evolves. Design, features, community. Constant improvement and evolution. It’s been fun to watch the growth from the old blogger sites to this (and the PPT).
    I would bet a year from now iBC takes another, unexpected, step forward.

    The one constant on iBC is the cast of characters and community. What a motley crew. I would wager that the average visitor is both smarter and more experienced in their respective field that some might initially think.

    Some of my best friends I’ve never met are on this site.

    PS – I really like the video clips. I’ve watched nearly all of them.

    Fly,

    Gay may be onto something, although I’m not sure I know what it is!!

    I know when it come to updating your home, yard, or almost anything else having to do with style, faggots are way ahead of the rest of us not withstanding a few females.

    Why don’t you give Gay a shot? Let him e-mail you some different designs or whatever.

    While I like alot of what you’ve done with the site, there is something a little too “left hemisphere” going on here, which undermines the sites irreverent, humorous, and profane nature.

    LG Display Co., the world’s second-largest maker of liquid-crystal displays, rose 2.7 percent to 32,050 won, the highest since April 27. Eugene Investment & Securities Co. rated the stock “buy” with its 12-month share-price estimate of 40,000 won in a report today to initiate coverage of the stock. The second-quarter earnings will post a V-shaped recovery from the first, helped by a rise in shipments and panel prices, as well as lower production costs, the brokerage said.

    If you let GAY style your site, the next you know, he will be doing your hair, advising on your choise of vehicle, and begging you to grow a moustache.

    In my opinion – although there are exceptions (viz., Tom Seleck) – this never works out very well.

    Not at all.

    Has anyone seen this Rolling Stone article on Government Sachs? They really tore them a new asshole. Fucking scathing, suggested reading.
    In a trading sense, however, I wonder if this couldn’t accelerate into some kind of pitchfork/outcry, sending stocks into the “danger zone”. My suspicion is it will not; for Rolling Stone readers also enjoy Mary Jane and cold pizzas.

    une 29 (Bloomberg) — The Australian and New Zealand dollars fell for the first time in five days after China said its foreign-currency reserve policy won’t change suddenly, boosting demand for the greenback.

    The Australian and New Zealand currencies extended declines after Japanese reports showed industrial output rose less than economists expected in May and retail sales declined. The U.S. dollar strengthened against 14 of the 16 major currencies after China’s central bank Governor Zhou Xiaochuan told reporters in Basel, Switzerland, yesterday that the nation’s “foreign exchange reserve policy is always quite stable.”

    “There isn’t a realistic alternative to the U.S. dollar at the moment,” said Joseph Capurso, a currency strategist in Sydney at Commonwealth Bank of Australia, the nation’s biggest mortgage lender. The Australian dollar “won’t get below 79 cents this week, with a fair bit of support around the high 78- cent level,” he said.

    Cronkite reports Wall street is back with a vengeance.

    Buoyant capital markets activity underpinned US banks’ second-quarter earnings, with a boom in equity and debt issuance helping offset continued losses on toxic assets, bankers and analysts said.

    With two days to go before the end of the quarter and a fortnight before banks begin reporting results, executives said the strong performance in trading and underwriting in the first quarter was exceeded in the three months to June.

    The completion of the US government’s stress tests set off a flurry of activity on Wall Street, with financial institutions reaping large fees for helping rivals raise equity to plug capital shortfalls and repay federal aid.

    Banks and other financial groups raised $89bn in equity via 92 deals in the second quarter, the highest number of deals on record and the highest dollar volume for a year.

    US groups’ second-quarter equity issuance of $259bn was more than three times the $71.3bn raised in the first quarter, according to Dealogic .

    A rebound in high-yield bond activity and unusually high margins in fixed income trading also contributed to what one Wall Street executive called a “perfect storm for investment banking businesses”.

    “The second quarter has been exceptional,” said one head of capital markets at a US bank. “It’s good to be back and pricing deals.”

    Great result fellas. Gold Sack must be creaming it, justifying some predictions that it ought to go back to $250 bucks a share….

    hahahahahhahhahahahah that scared some of ya.

    anyone want to short GS let me know as I want to be the other side of that trade so I can save the spread. 😉
