Madness Circles Back to Flydom — Today Was a Truly Shitty Day in the Market

It appears a young man barged into a Panera Bread in Princeton with a gun, then holed himself up in a standoff against coppers for 5 hours. Rumor has it, he was former military, about 30 years old, and he might’ve shot himself. Don’t quote me on it. Couple that with the fucking bombs being shipped in Texas, and of course the active shooters, and I think it’s fair to say there is a tangible sickness gripping the country.

Stocks lifted, but breadth was sub 50% and my trading account produced losses. Over in my quant account, I gained another 1% and I am fucking crushing the SPY by nearly 200bps over the past two weeks.

On the upside of today’s pin action is Bitcoin and cryptos — all sharply higher.

Here is today’s breakdown by sector. Does this look like a +150 day?

      Instead of selling our National Parks and highways, we should sell our aircraft carriers. War is expensive. Trumpsters, isn’t your boy Donny supposed to be an isolationist?

    The good news is that crime is all hype and fake news sensationalizm. There’s been an overall decrease in crime for decades. There might have been a slight uptick lately due to the filthy marxists inciting violence but overall these incidents are nothing to be concerned about.

    Fly why do you allow racist / Nazi banter on your site everyday … I would think you would ban that but you seem to encourage it. Sarcrilege and ibankcoin are quite the team.

      I allow any and all banter, with exception to trolls. People who troll get the ban immediately.

      We had a nice fellow on the site the other day discussing the joys of white people going extinct. I laughed at his commentary, just like I laugh at Sac’s.

      I hear SPLC is hiring fine and outstanding citizens such as yourself who are concerned about the politically incorrect proliferation of banter. Give it a try, you sound like you could get the job right off the bat; especially if you are a filthy, gender confused, mom’s basement dwelling marxist, borderline murderous communist, millennial crybully sniveling from ‘its’ safe space.

        You know who else likes banning? Wannabee (a)lpha-males that blindlessly play follow-the-leader like a sheep, while whining that they are under attack by “PC” crowd becaase their uneven playing field is being leveled by the bulldozer of Time.

      Banning is protection for weak-minded fools. The better answer is not to hide racism underground but to engage and confront it (and I don’t mean violently).

      Do you think people became more racist after Trump got elected? Of course not, but they are just more open about it which is much better in the end.

      We have killed, maimed and displaced millions of mostly brown and black people over the last 15 years and spent $trillions to do so. A majority of Americans do not support these continuing wars and do not support this spending. Yet the slaughter continues.

      Isn’t it curious that Sarc’s words should be what stimulate sanctimonious calls of racism – – while actually killing, maiming and displacing people of other races does not. Why do you think that is?

      Only feebleminded weaklings want “bad” opinions banned or otherwise censored. The best disinfectant is sunlight, bring bad opinions into the light so they maybe deride and ridiculed, much like yours are routinely.

      I’d like to point out that not one of your so called “Nazis” has ever called for you to be banned or otherwise censored despite you routinely posting things that kill brain cells when you read them. Maybe this is a learning moment?

    Trade war, nationalism, and tech implosion on its way. Facefuck will go the way of myspace and a new platform will arrive. Wish Craigslist start a social app.

    You people are hilarious. Embrace the Lesbian Queer truth of California. The madness will not stop until you all stop taking those fucking pills. Castration is really not good as well. But there is obviously no particular group programming this shitshow. It is organic as a bull dyke grooming your kids.

    More bombs in Austin tonite, another nor’easter foot of snow, Bull dykes running wild in Frisco and 100,000 degenerates descending on San Padre for spring break. Fuck I love this country.
