Beware of False Profits

Many of you are young punks, just learning this stock game. You rely on charts because it is the easiest way to become an authority on stocks. On the internet, unfortunately, there are many false profits, like Tim Knight, who claim to be “experts” on technical analysis. Look, Tim Knight is a technician like Hank Paulson has a handsome head of hair.

Fuckers like that are ideologues, who view charts via a distorted scope, because of bias. Real technicians, like my boy John Lee, don’t have a bias or an agenda to put forth. Don’t listen to men who prance around the internet, like ballerinas in the winter winds, geeked out on viagra, jonesing for the apocalypse. Men like that are supposed to be ridiculed, not respected.

In my business, fuckers like that are not respected. They are cast out and never invited to the cool parties.

Back to business:

After the recent run, expect a minor pullback. However, do not expect anything major. The Federal Reserve put the wolves out on the short sellers, via “loose goose” monetary policy. All dips will be bought and there will not be a price to pay for all of the mistakes made, at least in 2009. Ask me about 2010 and I will offer a whole new set of investment options.

In short, quit listening to children. The market is alive, full of energy. Feed off it and make your mark.

On dips, I like General Cable Corporation [[BGC]] , TriQuint Semiconductor [[TQNT]] and IAC/InterActiveCorp [[IACI]]

    Seriously “fly”, what do you stand to gain by calling someone out who has actually put themselves out in the public forum and stands behind their trades – win or lose? Someone who has actually contributed something to the world of trading, i.e. Prophet charts – building up a business and selling it to a reputable broker?

    Meanwhile you sit behind some bullshit alias on a bullshit website w/ 15 bloggers that doesn’t even garner anywhere close to the kind of traffic as one website with one blogger. What do you know about respect? Certainly this kind of content doesn’t garner much from a so called “master” and “professional.”

        so if you dont like it, then dont read it.

        also do this d bag tim knight, who keeps telling people to short. Fly is right, buy a mutual fund. the only thing that is right is the market. it picks a directions and goes, and all your facts and theory don’t mean shit.

    This is an attempt to wake up the zombies who follow losers like Knight. It is not personal, more of a scientific intervention.

      Chart Addict and Tim Knight are 2 completely different types of traders, there is no reason one is better than the other. Their styles are unique to each and I would argue that neither can be reproduced exactly.

      What Chart Addict does is amazing. He is a brilliant trader, but not everyone has the time, opportunity or knowledge to play short-term breakout and momo trades like he does. Logically, it does not follow, that Tim Knight sucks simply because he plays a longer-term time frame and more than a few basic setups.

      You are being ignorant.

      And, if you believed so deeply in what WeeklyTA does then why haven’t you had 400%+ returns this year? Why aren’t you trading technical breakouts? Atleast Mr. John C. Lee has the audacity to put himself out there why you continue to hide behind some bullshit alias, Broker A(nonymous).

    DENIM: This is one of many products linked to its place of origin. The hard-wearing cloth was created in Nimes, a southern french industrial town. It was known first as “serge de Nimes” and then as “de Nimes.”

    Aiiight, my thoughts on today’s AA announcement. Let’s break down aluminum by product line:

    1) Airplanes – Lots of birds fell out of the sky last quarter so demand for replacements gives this a bump.

    2) Cheap house siding – Lots of people can no longer afford luxurious homes with the nice amenities such as bricks. Bump up huhr too.

    3) Mobile homes – Enough tornados last quarter to also spike replacement demand.

    4) Baseball bats – Word on the street is the 34 inch Easton is the mugger’s weapon of choice. Again, increased demand due to the increase in the number of people that have to resort to mugging folks just to scrape by.

    5) Aluminum john boats – Increase in “occupationally challenged” people means they can’t afford no grocery stores. Give a man a fish he eats for a day. Set that fucker up with a boat, rod and real, and a collection of Bill Dance videos and he eats fo life.

    AA is gone blow the roof of the sucka…

    Tim was mentioning the other day that bulls seem to be nicer than bears in the main. Someone suggested that might be because bears tend to be better educated and better read. Not seeing anything to contradict that view here today. What an abusive and nasty collection of posters you have here.

    Tim is now aware that this little blog exists. If that was the point of this attack then job done. Not sure he gives a damn but you shouldn’t hope for too much. At least a real player has noticed that you exist & that has to count for something.

    Prophet is the correct spelling by the way. You might already know that but if so, that didn’t seem particularly obvious.

      Hey F-Off asshat. Where’s your supermodel avatar? Like I’ve said many times before on this topic, I’m happy to be on the other side of Timmay’s Minions Trades. All money is green.

      The EFFING point you retard is that Timmay is an EFFING false profit [sic] leading the ignorati down the path to financial ruin. If you can’t see this you are too stupid to trade. Wake up.

      Now you got me pissed off. It takes a lot to get me pissed off, but there is one thing above all that really burns me and it’s intertube know-it-all’s that help the public to lose their capital. It’s especially egregious when those being fleeced are actually trying to learn something and instead are sold on following someone who is on the wrong side of the market and won’t admit it.

    Truly, there is scarcely a single one amongst you who would give a prophet a goodly gesture of appreciation
    (give consent) so that he could increase knowledge with further knowledge; truly, you belittle the prophet’s
    knowledge of the truth and increase your unknowing so you do not find your way to the truth; but search for
    the real truth and fight for it in a peaceful way once you have found it.

      Seriously guys, if you really think that in this economy the only way for equities is up, then you are not reading enough history. Enjoy the rally while it lasts. If any here should have a more enquiring mind, read Galbraith’s book on 1929, and have a look at Japan over the last 20 years. Buying and holding mutual funds long term right now is a recipe for disaster.

      DRYS is on track to be the best fundamental story I have seen you folks yap about yet. Maybe FTK finds some love soon – I would not bet against it – but DRYS is looking very solid for the moment. Assuming we get to 10+, and it looks good so far, that one idea is enough to justify a year-long PPT sub.

      I will buy a couple friends of mine a year at the PPT if DRYS crests 10. I am not sure how else to legally pay the man for this idea.

    Sir Fly, your unprovoked vitriol betrays a hint of uncharacteristic insecurity.

    I imagine that you are being fellated by a bulimic aspiring actress whilst piloting a luminous rocket ship on wheels, (perhaps listening to a bit of OB4CL2). Why waste your brain on composing text, your time on clattering keys, why lift a finger to click a button to discharge your ideas into the ether, if only to incite your hoard of belligerent lackeys against a man who plies his craft in a less stylistically daring manner than yourself?

    This is not about when the bear will return, this is about style. But you are dressing up your bitch feud as market advice. No, Im sure that your are stronger than this. Stop posting when you are drunk.
