Forgiveness Shall Be Granted

As you know, I’ve declared that 2012 would be the year of charity by yours truly. Both monetarily and mood, I shall bestow gifts upon the people around me. Come March, during the annual iBC March Madness contest, I will be giving away $1,000 to the winner. As we speak or rather read this, I am having my staff think of two more contests, just to give me an excuse to donate money to those of you accessing the internet from one of the many housing tenements in America. And right now, I am accepting apologies from the great many of you who besmirched me for owning both LULU and DECK.

I wish to engage the nabobs on this site who call my honor and know how into question. Step forth young man and have your say!

NFLX sprinted higher. I should have bought it this morning when Ragin’ mentioned it inside of 12631. Nevertheless, there are other stocks worth a look here. I will give you two, as an example of my charity: FOSL, WLT or maybe even WHR.

The month of January is all about psychological warfare. Everyone is trying to outmaneuver one another to get an edge, a jumpstart if you will, to start the new year well. Typically, the sloth gets in late and ends up getting decapitated in February, traditionally a very hard month.

In summary, apologies and being accepted and I am on the verge of making two surgical moves. They are chess moves–not the sort of thing you are used to watching on Twitter–you small, dirty, disgusting dog pleb of a man.

Off to drink some Earl Grey.

        I only hope this blog will DoFollow my link for asking such a question. Because if not, I think I may need to self-medicate. Translucent tights and fuzzy DECK boots. Jesus Fly.. you bring a new meaning to the term.. Ask and you shall receive.

        If you were a cigarette, you’d be Unfiltered.

      What do you mean by “if”? Why not just ask him what color his tights are and see how that works out for you?

    With DECK at approx $80, aren’t you still down on your DECK position? even though you recovered significantly.

    It must be International Asshole month. All of the assholes come out in January to be de-balled by the pros.

    Actually sir, from a purely statistical point of view February starts the strongest 4-month period of the year for the $RUT.

    Of course, October is the worst month statistically speaking and October 2011 was not only the best October ever for the $RUT but it was also the 3rd best month ever for the $RUT. December is the best single month statistically speaking for the $RUT and it barely eeked out a gain.

    So we shall see if 2012 continues 2011’s frustrating Costanza-like m.o. of having all the high probability trades blow up and all the long shots come in as winners.
