If you are confused over the current direction of the market, join the party, hosted by yours truly. Drinks and appetizers WILL NOT be served. Just a few short weeks ago, or maybe a month (I forget), the market was fun. I was skipping through green fields, with knitted sweaters wrapped around my shoulders and cigars hanging out of my mouth.
Today, I am shivering in a wet alley, with a dirty old burlap jacket velcro’d to my back and a crack pipe hanging out of my pocket. Life is grim, especially when you make all sorts of fucked up moves. Now, in all fairness, my recent flurry of buys, specifically in Corning Incorporated [[GLW]] , OmniVision Technologies, Inc. [[OVTI]] and Ciena Corporation [[CIEN]] , have not been all that bad. It’s the other shit that’s killing me, namely [[ERX]] and Flotek Industries, Inc. [[FTK]] . You do not need a “calculator brain” to know that holding onto losers is ALWAYS a bad idea. I broke all sorts of rules, holding through the carnage. As much as I preach, I did not heed my own warnings. For that, I am awarding myself a commemorative Asshat of the Week Award.
For the most part, I am still bullish on select tech names, despite what the tape is saying. I’ve been at this long enough to know the tape is always wrong, or often behind the curve.
As for Dennis Kneel [sic]:
First, I want to bury the ridiculous hatchet between Karl (boy do I hate the K in Carl) and iBC. He and Woodshedder can go debate “the ancient secrets of the Golden Cross” on 60 minutes. To be honest, I don’t give a fuck.

This Dennis character is besmirching those who blog from the comforts of anonymity. Look here, dickhead, some people don’t want their faces covered in make-up. Some people do not want the lights shining on their faces. Some people have important things to say and require anonymity to do so. If you think anonymity is bad, lobby Congress to restrict anonymity at the polls. Let’s get rid of whisteblowers and informants too. Who the fuck needs them anyway?
After all, life is all about being transparent, except of course when you are cheating on your wife or dancing around your taxes.
You get my point.
Some people require privacy and do not want to be bothered by others. Instead of lashing out at the tiny little internet, Dennis should take a look in the mirror and try to recall all of the stupid shit he said on national television, such as: “I bet you this market closes up today.” By far, CNBC is the worst offender of manipulating stocks, in all of the media—combined. How many times did Gasparinio or Faber or Cramer jerk stocks higher, as a result of bad reporting?
Tell me Dennis, are you feeling lucky, punk?
