Cha-Ching$!$

Nothing says “look at me, I’m fucking rich, ovah here, like putting a dollar sign in front of your title.”

Over the past week, I’ve been formulating my 2011 predictions. You must understand, I take this shit very seriously. Thus far, only RC and Chess have submitted their 2011 predictions to the iBC Auxiliary offices in Caracas. Failure to adhere to my edicts will lead to grave accidents upon your person. Consider this blog post fair warning to all iBC bloggers.

On that note, I am almost ready to hire another blogger. Albeit, the pay is lousy and management is very demanding. However, we have lots of room for growth here at iBankCoin. If you don’t piss me the fuck off through disloyal behavior, I might just throw you a bone or two. If you want to be noticed, post your stuff in The Peanut Gallery. I hire most of my bloggers from the PG. It’s like the minor leagues of iBC.

At the open, stocks will trade up. There are a few deals to speak of, namely DNEX and some oil and gas company from the UK. Bottom line: investment banks are foaming at the mouth to utilize corporate cash for mergers and acquisitions. Their sales pitches are very good and CEO’s understand why NOW is a perfect time to spend cash on acquiring real assets and businesses. I expect deal flow to heighten in 2011, thanks to record amounts of cash in company coffers.

With my money, I like VLNC, AKS, REXX, CCJ and EXK

    I say you hire Chuck Bennett…He’s the only PG blogger worth reading, the rest suck. Sorry but it’s treu [sic] Endless babble has no value…this site needs more profitable traders like Chuck, not guy’s who day trade their 401k’s and who think writing 3,000 words per post makes them look smart….

        I wonder if the Fly would ban a tabbed blogger?
        I’ve talked with the Fly about such a position. The Fly doesn’t feel that my $3,000.00 subscription fee would be a workable model here.

    Le Fly, NC is pretty dope. I have been here for over 13 years. Came down from the DC area after spending some time in the service. I’m on the SOBX (Southern Outer Banks). This place is pretty sweet!

    A suggestion for a new blogger.
    How about a non-stock blogger.
    One who comments on stuff that happens in everyday life (but not a metrosexual type like you had a few years ago who liked to write about what kind of clothes to wear).
    As you probably noticed their is an increase in comments posted (and I suspect hits) when Jake writes about current events or when you (The Fly) write about moving (and the comments on that keep on coming).
    Just a thought.
    You have plenty of stock bloogers.

    V.King would keep things lively (even when banned).
    Top 10 reasons to have V.King:
    10. Fitness tips.
    9. Funny
    8. hates everybody at some point in time.
    7. Taste in music is not bad.
    6. steroidal free (I think).
    5. Likes SteveThe Neighbor.
    4. Picks stocks I never heard of.
    3. Out of his mind.
    2. short and to the point.
    1.And most of all pisses off Fly.

    I love biscuts and gravy, with sausage and eggs. Cooked in the hill country in one of the small german towns in central texas. Food there is to relish after and to fiend over when in those locals. Winerys there are nice as is the folks who live there, join us one day, we welcome all who enjoy good things.

    Fly, some things to think about before you move/retire…

    Geography Lessons for Retirees

    You can retire to Phoenix , Arizona where
    1. You are willing to park 3 blocks away because you found shade.
    2. You’ve experienced condensation on your butt from the hot water in the toilet bowl.
    3. You can drive for 4 hours in one direction and never leave town.
    4. You have over 100 recipes for Mexican food.
    5.. You know that “dry heat” is comparable to what hits you in the face when you open your oven door.
    6. The 4 seasons are: tolerable, hot, really hot, and ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!!

    You can retire to California where
    1. You make over $250,000 and you still can’t afford to buy a house.
    2. The fastest part of your commute is going down your driveway.
    3. You know how to eat an artichoke.
    4. You drive your rented Mercedes to your neighborhood block party.
    5. When someone asks you how far something is, you tell them how long it will take to get there rather than how many miles away it is.
    6. The 4 seasons are: Fire, Flood, Mud, and Drought.

    You can retire to New York City where
    1. You say “the city” and expect everyone to know you mean Manhattan .
    2. You can get into a four-hour argument about how to get from Columbus Circle to Battery Park, but can’t find Wisconsin on a map.
    3. You think Central Park is “nature.”
    4. You believe that being able to swear at people in their own language makes you multi-lingual.
    5. You’ve worn out a car horn. (ed note: if you have a car)
    6. You think eye contact is an act of aggression..

    You can retire to Maine where
    1. You only have four spices: salt, pepper, ketchup, and Tabasco ….
    2. Halloween costumes fit over parkas.
    3. You have more than one recipe for moose.
    4. Sexy lingerie is anything flannel with less than eight buttons.
    5. The four seasons are: winter, still winter, almost winter, and construction.

    You can retire to the Deep South where
    1. You can rent a movie and buy bait in the same store.
    2. “Y’all” is singular and “all y’all” is plural.
    3. “He needed killin'” is a valid defense.
    4. Everyone has 2 first names: Billy Bob, Jimmy Bob, Mary Sue, Betty Jean, Mary Beth, etc.
    5. Everything is either “in yonder,” “over yonder” or “out yonder.” It’s important to know the difference, too.

    You can retire to Colorado where
    1. You carry your $3,000 mountain bike atop your $500 car
    2. You tell your husband to pick up Granola on his way home and so he stops at the day care center.
    3. A pass does not involve a football or dating.
    4. The top of your head is bald, but you still have a pony tail.

    You can retire to the Midwest where
    1. You’ve never met any celebrities, but the mayor knows your name.
    2. Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor.
    3. You have had to switch from “heat” to “A/C” on the same day.
    4. You end sentences with a preposition: “Where’s my coat at?”
    5. When asked how your trip was to any exotic place, you say, “It was different!”

    OR You can retire to Florida where
    1. You eat dinner at 3:15 in the afternoon.
    2. All purchases include a coupon of some kind — even houses and cars.
    3. Everyone can recommend an excellent dermatologist.
    4. Road construction never ends anywhere in the state.
    5. Cars in front of you often appear to be driven by headless people.

      Funny.
      You can add to Florida:
      6. Plenty of recreation like bingo and shuffleboard.
      7. Plenty of action with widows in The Villages.
      8. Can join the condo Boards and scream at each other for not picking up the dog poop with all of the other transplanted New Yorkers;
      9. Lots of exercise with fitness guru Richard Simmons and celebrity sightings like Jackie Mason.
      10. No problem getting a seat at Golden Corral after 5PM (see Quint’s no. 5 above.).

        TC, let’s not forget the blue hairs driving 34 mph in the passing lane, coming to a complete stop before turning a corner, accelerating to a mind boggling 48 mph on the interstate and telling you endlessly how much better things were up North where they had better tomatoes. Of course they neglect to mention they also had the NY Jets – another good reason to move to Florida. God bless ’em, without’em Walmart and Dollar General would be half vacant.

    I found an old email I got from a Lousisianan that describes what it is like socially there. It’s a great place. U might like it, Fly. OTOH, it could be a difficult place to understand, for someone who is under the illusion that money is the most important thing in life.
