iBC Changes

Summertime is over and it’s time to get serious again.

With that in mind, my man, Chuck Bennett, will be escorted back to the Peanut Gallery, starting 10/01/09. Everyone loves a good Chuck; but I need to do a little trimming. Additionally, Mr. Treu, as much as I laugh at his humour [sic], offers zero value for stock investors. As a result of this horrifying fact, he is a goner. And, finally, with the hurricane season over, Dr. ‘Cane hits the bricks.

Let it be known, I will hire all three, once again, during the summer of 2010—mainly to liven up the moribund nature of the site (think Woodshedder).

As for adding new bloggers, I am always on the lookout for talent. So, if you are interested in gifting the world with your presence, keep posting in the Peanut Gallery, for I might just pluck you out, pay you a salary and put you on the road to unmatched riches.

    No please don’t get rid of Chuck. How the hell are we going to see pics of his latest conquests. This is an unpardonable act, fly. It’s a vicious act against the wishes of the readership.

        Frankly Chuck deserves better treatment, Jake. The pics and the conquest stories that go with them are more deserving in terms of treatment 🙂

            You see what you want to see in art works. I see the very nice ass of a woman, not some hairy assed gorilla that you seem to be getting off on.

    With Mr. Bennett gone we certainly hope that the bad language and the pictures will be gone. Especially those filthy pictures that Mr. Bennett would post. The Beav must have liked them since he has been taking the laptop into the bathroom alot and staying in their a real long time. We had no idea what was going on until I accidentally opened the door. I believe Eddie Haskell taught him that. We told the Beav to stop right now otherwise he would go insane and have to go to the doctor for treatment.

      Quiet, discrete intense pleasure with inspirational tools? i’m sure Treu taught both Eddie and Beav that.

    fantabulous. clear the dead wood. time for change. this tarp-levered bull market bothers my fundamental inclined brain. while trading defines our business, earnings come soon. reversals on reports are a bitch.

    sorry to hear about dr cane. “i only knew…” nevermind. he is/was on the cusp of the most amazing fundamental story of our generation – even if CHK and folks are raging shorts against the strip in the near term.

    standby.

    Knight watchman (and the story of the black Knight)

    When you can’t predict a humongous move because you don’t know shit, resist the trend and act like an asshat you just do an imitation of the Monty Python’s black knight (pun intended) and pretend you’re winning as your limbs are getting hacked off. That’s our Timmy.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKhEw7nD9C4

    Timmy:

    I’d like to see the S&P get to 1120 and the Dow above 10,000. No, I’m serious. I think it would do all of us a lot of good. The snare drumming buzzing in the background and the sense of anticipation is all just a bit too much. And I think we’ve got a reasonable chance of getting there.

    So now it’s ” Okay then go higher, Mr Market, see if I care”.

    This is coming from the guy that thinks a woman gaining popularity in a singing contest is somehow associated with the recent runup in stocks.

    You just can’t this shit up even in Hollywood.

      These are the times when you really get the playbook on how not to trade (or make love, or mow your lawn) from a guy like The Dope. I mean he’s all over the place trying anything he can think of to get a win, but he’s not spending more than an hour or two there. What the hell happened to patience and persistence? When your “system” is based on little more than a few pattern scanning algorithms and the blind bet that resistance will hold regardless of circumstances it’s easy to feel lost in a hurry. It’s one thing to say the market is headed lower, lots of smart people think that’s the case. It’s a whole other bundle of “I don’t know what the fuck I’m doing” to call out GE in the single-digits and never once follow that up.

      At least the guy at XTrends holds his paper positions come hell or high water. I’d love to get a hold of those crusty Matlab programs they are releasing that tell you exactly how much of a draw down you can take before you have to shut down your blog and look for work.

    from Cashin’s Comments this morning:

    “A driving force in higher oil, stock and commodity prices was the continuing pronounced weakness in the U.S. dollar. Yesterday, the greenback hit a new low for the year. Traders wonder how long the nation’s creditors will tolerate the steady, and somewhat steep, erosion of the purchasing power of their investments.

    A reader took note of my musings on the dollar weakness and the emerging “dollar carry trade”. They advanced a somewhat alternate thesis. They see a rather direct reaction in both the dollar and stocks to the open market activities of the Fed. They passed along some data showing an almost minute by minute reaction of the dollar and stocks to Fed purchases of Treasures, Agencies and even MBS. On the face of it, the evidence looks compelling but we’ll research it a bit more. Always grateful for the help…”

    Gap fills on almost every precious play today. Nice entries, if you are a hankering. Price o’ gold & Silver is headed back up after it’s usual “til noon” sell off.
