The Problem with America is You

When you are conducting business, wear the fucking uniform of business. Do you little fuckers even know what the uniform of business is? Go to Barney’s and buy a few suits and a dozen ties. When you are conducting business, put on that suit and behave like a gentleman. Too many of you sub 30 year old JACKWAGONS think it’s “cool” or hip to wear t-shirts and jeans to work or business meetings. It’s not cool. As a matter of fact, it lowers your standard in life by a factor of 10. See, it’s not about being “cool” when it comes to business. It is about respecting the laws and traditions of business—emulating greater men than you, all the while banking so much coin you are able to piss on their graves, with great ferocity. These are men who paved the way for America’s brilliance and dominance on the world stage. I will have you know, “The Fly” is to America what Putin is to KGB.

The problem with America today is its citizenry. They are either fat and stupid or too lazy to make a difference. Get out there and hustle your ass off. Wear the uniform of business and tell your alcoholic friends to go fuck themselves, for they will not make you a rich man.

As for me: I wear the uniform of business all the time. As a point in fact, I am proud to reveal I wear a suit, with tie, to sleep. My pajamas are tailored by Mr. Armani. Who tailors your pj’s, fruit of the loom? See pal, that’s the difference between you and a person such as myself: I am ready to conduct business all the time, while you are ready to be homeless.

As for this tape: I endeavor to sell some of my longs, when The PPT marks OVERBOUGHT. There is no point selling VXX here. Stocks on the sell block include: BUCY, FLS, TNA, UCO, FAS, TBT, ROP, EWZ and CBL.

    The Fly needs to get laid. Suits don’t get laid. See all the fat cat bank CEOs – all wear suits and haven’t been laid in decades.

    My business office outfit is shorts and a golf shirt.
    On casual Fridays I don’t wear socks.
    Just the other day my wife asked when I would be clipping my toe nails because I am starting to look like Howard Hughes.
    Daytrading will do that to you.

      Go to the ball game and have a few. Stand at the urinal and feel the splash bouncing back and hitting your shins. Then, glance over to the little kid next to you and wonder why he’s flinching.

          Worst urinals (if that is what it was called) was at the old Indians-Browns Municipal stadium where one had to do his business in what can only be described as a horse trough.
          Guys lined up on either side (about 20 to a side) trying to keep their eyes forward.
          And half of the doors on the stalls were gone.

            Cleveland Municipal Stadium was a classic (relic). A cavernous facility with huge steel support columns directly in your view and the bathrooms – one big, long 30′ pissing trough as you traipsed thru an inch of urine on the floor on your way to relieve yourself.

    FIG— and i quote,

    “if I release my hedges, I risk going into the worst month of the year, historically, fully exposed to the market at a time when red lights are flashing vis a vis the bond market. If I sell all of my longs or some of them, in order to let my VXX run, I risk missing out on an epic rally, which will be fueled by a pullback in treasuries and yen”

    Aren’t most of these formal fashion conventions simply remnants of british victorianism?

    And as such, wouldn’t following them be somewhat unamerican?

    I went to Barney’s and bought a plush white robe. I stole some sandals from a bald Hare Krishna in La Guardia. I now have the outfit of a King.

    For personal disclosure–I do wear a belted sweater on occasion. But only when attending funerals. It is as formal as I get

I never saw anyone that can be as “loquacious” as myself before…..

        Admit it. You’re a perma-bear.
        I’ll bet you were still shorting hard with the S&P 500 at 666.
        Am I correct?

          Actually I was buying RTP and C at that point….then I noticed about a month later that the entire rally was on China Govt buying up copper and said OMG this is not demand but just a stupid copper bubble, I sold C and RTP and I have been watching it grow ever since…….I really am amazed how strong and big and ugly these things could get, but I bet all the housing and Tech people were saying the samething when they watched the bubble build…..2009/2010 has been Bubble 101 lesson….heck I learned a lot, I didn’t even understand at that point about the QE effect on FX speculation…..heck I didn’t even know what F/X was at that point….lol….I think in June 2009 I was learning the names for currencies….and which ones mattered…

            Got it, Nymph. I really don’t think we have a stock bubble. The only bubble going on right now is in TLT. Check 1999-2000 for stock bubble 101.
            We’re not even close to a stock bubble.
            Good luck to you, Nymph.

            Not stock bubble….Commodities bubble….Chinese borrowed lots of money to speculate in commodities….way too much supply to actual demand out there….

    Mr president,
    Pissing with ferocity is being able to levitate your body off the ground wirh a stream of piss.
    However, it will also facilitate the porn kings contacting you as a side note.

    According to my calculations, for every minute of the AAPL presentation MVIS goes down 2 ticks.
    Must be that Russian guy selling (although I seem to recall he never bought any).

    So AAPL’s big product idea is a touchpad device so small, no one can use it.

    Genius.

    Old fuckers don’t piss with a lot of ferocity. All that dribble under the urinal? That’s the old rich fuckers doing that. There was a rich old fucker at my country club that would piss in his chair while playing cards. He was too old and feeble to golf anymore, but he had bux and they put up with him. They kept a special piss chair for him. It was fun to try to get other guys to sit in that chair by mistake. If you bank enough coin now you too could be so honored at your country club as to have a piss chair in your final months of life.

    Fly –

    Perhaps you do not transcend generations. Suits are frivolous for commerce in the 21st century. You of all people should know that.

    Perhaps I missed the cheek.
