A White Robe Day

Before I rant, here are the moves made to the portfolios this morning:

Sold out of salesforce.com, inc. [[CRM]] @ $43.70’s
Sold 20% of ADTRAN, Inc. [[ADTN]] @ $25.10’s
Sold 25% of Atmel Corporation [[ATML]] @ $4.18
Sold 20% of Ciena Corporation [[CIEN]] @ $10.80’s
Sold 30,000 [[ENTR]] @ $3, holding lots more
Sold 20% of Corning Incorporated [[GLW]] @ $16.90’s

What other website gave you picks like that above? Tell me, you fucking ungracious bath tub scrubbers. Let’s have more Flotek Industries, Inc. [[FTK]] discussions, shall we? Or, instead, let’s have some back handed remarks floated around, about other stocks that went down (God forbid) after Senor Tropicana blessed it with his magic wand. While everyone else told you to “be careful” and act like a hermaphrodite, “The Fly” told you to “put your balls on the guillotine,” and bank some coin like a man.

Luckily, I have a higher echelon audience, in The PPT, where throwing meatloaf at one another is strictly prohibited. In there, believe it or not, we actually talk about stocks, nothing else.

Coming here, onto iBC, is sort of like being in the back seat of a black car, while passing by Harlem, where I point at the burnt down buildings and sort of just laugh about it with the kids.

Honestly, most of you are undeserving of my advice, since you are retarded in the first place. Most investors that I meet are lacking ball size or brain capacity. Most people never have the right amount of balls and IQ to make a serious run at this market.

With my money, I decided to raise some cash, via booking profits in a variety of names (see above). Additionally, I am eagerly anticipating earnings from Starent Networks Corp. [[STAR]] tonight. In my opinion, they will blow past the estimate of .17. But, after such a big run up, I am hesitant to buy it now. Instead, I might just load the fuck up on STAR‘s biggest competitor, Alcatel-Lucent (ADR) [[ALU]] . In an oddball way, owning ALU is a hedge against STAR. In short, STAR is a main player in the 3g/4g rollout, occurring world wide. They have an 80% market share lock on the mobile core router industry (think iphone, bberry internet access). For me, STAR is the most important earnings story, whether I own it or not, with respects to my current investment theme.

    Getting away from the wonders of gummint healthcare and Stockholm Syndromed Canadians, I turn a gimlet eye to Monsanto, the market and the prophesies of St. Thug in Monster Santa and the Meltup Miracle.

    Now you are giving bad advice. No reason whatsoever to sell today. There will be NO, I repeat, NO consolidation from this move. We may see a nice flat day tomorrow, but Monday will simply ride another 2-5% again, all leading up to the big fall on Thursday. I hope you are making plans for your short sales starting on Wednesday after lunch.

      shut up. It’s called booking profits.

      If you had 100,000 GLW from $14 and sold 20,000 today, that is called risk management, something you know nothing of.

        J:

        Thanks for the bet offer. I however will not be able to make that bet with you. I don’t want to know the people I take money from on July 30, and betting against you, would put me in a bad situation. Rather, I suggest you heed my warning.

        I figure the reason you want to bet me, is to shut me up. The fact that you have offered me that bet means you have now seen my prediction, and know my conviction. I won’t bet you, however, I will stop posting about it, and instead will refer back to this post when my predictions come true.

          No Dude I am not scared of the “prediction” . I just think that a series of exacting predictions like that are shit, just pure unadulterated stinking shit. That’s all.

          If you said the market was going to fall 20% from here (approx) that wouldn’t illicit any scorn.

        Your complaint that he is a socialist, which is likely true, is completely discredited by the other idiotic bullshit you felt compelled to include in your statement.

            Why, because you said so? I’m afraid your double digit IQ is showing, along with some irrational magical thinking. When people like you make up accusations you devalue the real problem; he is a socialist. Stick to the facts and your argument may carry more weight.

    Fly, do you want to use the gravatar I sent, if not I think I will use one that I made similar but with a cohiba.
    But I will not use it if you want to use it, or you can have the one with the cohiba and I won’t use them at all.
