The ever living Fly calls upon the ancient spirits to transform CLDX into an evil biotech winner.
BEHOLD!
Winship.
I’d like you to inhale the fumes and the dust that I leave in my trail, as I blaze towards par. The very essence of your trollery is now called into question. Everything you’ve fought and not died for is going up in flames.
I invite you to sell short my biotech holdings: ICPT, CLDX, CBST, JAZZ, SGEN and most assuredly GILD.
Today is going to be a big day. If forced to place my testicles atop a kitchen counter whilst speed chopping carrots, I’d place my XONE position right alongside with them!

I am here in the north east corridor of the United States, where the air is brisk and the people are smart. I see futures are up sharply and the 8-balls are being placed, ever-so-neatly- on the crystal tables.
ITMN caught a huge buy out from Roche, which should lend support to any decent sized market cap biotech–like CBST, which is my largest trading position.
In summary, all that is good and honorable will be on display tomorrow, as I chauffeur Mrs. Fly around Newport, like some sort of indentured servant.
Alas the luxuries of marriage, where a man gets to purchase his own prison cell.
Comments »THE CHALLENGE IS NOW CLOSED; YOU HAVE ALL FAILED
Let this serve as a monument that both elevates “The Fly” and disgraces all of you. Here I am, willing and able to donate money towards the great cause of ALS, and all you had to do to save lives is pour a single bucket of iced water over your heads.
The results are in.
Out of the thousands of people who visit iBankCoin on a daily basis, in gluttonous search for opportunity to ingratiate themselves, ZERO people accepted my challenge.
A great shame shall be placed upon your house now.
To be honest with you, I am not surprised, not in the least. I expected maybe 5 or 6 “stragglers” taking me up on the challenge, dedicated ‘do-gooders’ trying to save the planet from plague. But I was mistaken. Blackness infects your inner spirit and it has made you into a miser, an opportunist, a regular Eddie Barzoon.
NOTE: I am off for Newport, RI tomorrow and will be hit or miss on Monday and Tuesday.
Comments »PAY ATTENTION READERS: I CHALLENGE YOU (Van Damme Voice)
Unfortunately, because I am in possession of sensitive state secrets, I cannot partake in the #IcedBucketChallenge. However, being the generous guy that I am, Le Fly is willing to donate $1 per #IcedBucketChallenge –that our readers accept. I invite 10,000 of you heathens to take the icy plunge.
To accomplish this task, all you have to do is record a video, obscure your hideous faces if you like, and say the words “I accept the iBankCoin Iced Bucket Challenge”, using your internet name. Feel free to call out other members of this establishment. Post the videos in the comments section. Thank you very much.
However, for those of you who think they can call me out: I have a message for you.
A final note: if you do not accept my challenge (extra Van Damme voice), you will be guilty of great crimes and a hideous disregard for the dreadful disease called ALS aka “Lou Gehrig’s disease”.
To kick things off in stylish fashion, I hereby challenge Phil Pearlman, Howard Lindzon and Josh Brown. They have, ALL OF YOU HAVE, just 24 hours to comply.
Good day.
IN FOR A PENNY, IN FOR A POUND
I sold out of EXAS–because it was a trade. When +10% inside of 3 days, one needs to act upon his instincts and take the money. But I am far from over here. I want to clarify something that might’ve confused you in a prior post. Since placing a large portion of my liquid net worth into the market, about a month ago, I’ve been talking two books: one that is managed and another that is mine. Inside of my personal account, TLT is my largest holding, followed by GILD.
In my managed accounts, my largest holding is CBST, followed by a stock that I am about to reveal to you right now.
With the proceeds from EXAS, I swung around and did two things.
1. I added to my ECOM position.
2. I started a position in XONE.
But I didn’t stop there, young lads. I took all available cash and idly tossed it into XONE–because I want my gains to be in 3-D too. It’s not good enough that I make money in boring stuff, like TLT and SLCA. My predatory nature demands that I extricate large sums of dollars from the purses of the laconic sub-mentals, in hog-butcher fashion.

I sold EXAS for a 10% gain, over 3 days.
Comments »VLADIMIR PUTIN IS SO ANNOYING
Every Friday we are treated to more shenanigans out of that monster of a vodka whore, Premier Vladimir Putin. Why doesn’t he just invade Ukraine already and get it over with? He’s a sick man, playing a stereotypical game of chess on the world stage, probably doing so whilst practicing gymnastics in his home gym–as borscht is being served.
It appears CMGE and LEJU will never trade down again. That, my friends, is also annoying me. So many god damned things are annoying me today, almost everything in the world but you–the lowly reader. I feel sorry for you, sitting there, waiting for another entry from Le Fly.
I will have you know that the move in CRM spells great things for the cloud sector. Already stocks in the peer group, like N, are trading higher in tandem. Also, TFM beat estimates, which is lending support to WFM. I love the grocery sector here for long term capital appreciation.
SLCA never trades down. Ever since those UNP numbers, fracking sand plays, EMES, HCLP and SLCA, have been on fire. You need to read in between the leaves.
Finally, my second largest position, CBST, is ripping higher today, following my largest position, GILD, to the moon.
I mean, come on son, GILD is up almost 30 points over the past 3 months. They fucking cured hep C you crazy shits. Get with the program.
Comments »Priced For Perfection
I was once challenged by a famous hedge fund manager to name a stock that traded at an absurd multiple and became a long term winner. It’s a harder proposition than you might think. The rules are: the company must trade over 10x sales, lose money, and not be in the biotech sector.
The only name that I came up with was EQIX.
Looking at some of our high value tech stocks, I wonder how many of these will sustain these levels and start making money. There are a slew of biotech stocks trading at INSANE levels. However, all they need is a nod from the FDA and voila; they’ll start to do billions in revenues.
So I narrowed my list to just tech stocks.
Your thoughts?
WDAY 31x sales
SCTY 29x sales
TWTR 28x sales
WUBA 24x sales
Z 22x sales
QUNR 20x sales
ATHM 19x sales
YELP 19x sales
FB 19x sales
ARMH 17x sales
GRUB 16x sales
NOW 15x sales
SPLK 15x sales
WB 15x sales
FEYE 15x sales
QIHU 15x sales
NMBL 14x sales
LNKD 14x sales
DATA 14x sales
TRIP 13x sales
TSLA 13x sales
PANW 12x sales
BIDU 12x sales
The above stocks are the most vulnerable to correction.
Let’s Not Stand on Ceremony
Trading is hard. It’s not hard because it’s hard to make money. It’s hard because you are sometimes forced to watch the stuff you just sold scream higher. There is nothing better than a stock cratering by 50% AFTER you just sold it. But when that stocks soars and tries to lure you back in at higher prices, the very feeling of death strikes you.
Just the other day I sold out of my chinese burrito stocks, all but one. I kept LITB, which is down 10% since. I sold CMGE, DSKY, VNET, XNET, ZPIN and QIHU. Go take a peek at the first two, going all mortal kombat on the market here. I replaced those stocks with some biotech and one retail store, none of which have performed as admirabbly as my former chinese burritos.
What’s a man to do under such onerous circumstances?
The way I see it, there are two options.
1. Get a piece of rope and kill yourself. The world doesn’t need more stupid people. We have an overabundance.
2. Man up and remember what you’re here for. You are not here to vote at annual meetings or micro-analyze the companies. You are going to rip and run. Do not apologize for your abrasive actions to the pedestrians, for the people outside of the colosseum will never understand what it’s like.
I fully intend to profit from my current holdings, one way or another. If they underperform, I will sell them and move on. But you and I both know SeƱor Tropicana is on extreme fire right now, a 5 alarm blaze ripping through your bullshit housing project.
