Dumb Money Made Smart Profits

I know a homeless guy with an IQ of 180. Despite being able to do advanced calculus in his head, he forages for food in garbage canisters and sewer pipes. Conversely, a friend of mine operates a $200 million per year business and has an IQ equal to a small gorilla. He is most definitely addled with ADD and is afflicted with severe paranoia. Nonetheless, he eats beluga caviar from a gold spoon. He is still an idiot.

Throughout 2009, people without market savvy made fortunes, getting long names, without thinking about the downside. The bravest money is always the newest. There is a reason why Wall Street employs young people, while kicking old fuckers into empty elevator shafts. For the most part, young people are not scorned— damaged by prior bear markets or really bad trades. If you are old and lost money in 2009, do not feel bad. You were supposed to lose money, because God hates old people, which is why he kills them with great regularity.

Going into 2010, “The Fly” would like to acknowledge a few people, who helped me destroy enemies and foes, throughout 2009.

I would like to thank my iBC blogger family, including Jakegint, Danny, HOLLY-Wood, Gio, RC, Chart Addict, Henry Fool and Jeremy aka “Vincenzo the olive oil lover.” Additionally, some of you Peanuts have contributed to this site, on a very high level. I offer praise to Green Writer, Mrkcbill, Mr. Caine Thaler, Dubz, Dpeezy, Mushroomz, Dr. ‘Cane and Cuervos. If your name was not mentioned it is because you are on the “Enemies of the State” list. In other words, you should fear for your life.

My expectations for 2010 are modest. I do not expect to duplicate this year’s success. To hell in a fucking hand basket, 2009 was a gift from God. Do not expect God to gift twice, for he is more likely to murder you via cardiac arrest or egregious cancerous tumor.

Outside of iBC, the good folks from Stocktwits kicked ass, by way of taking an idea and turning it into a viable business. Despite Howard trying to kick me in the nuts, throughout 2009, I wish him well in 2010, as well as Dr. Phil and “Soren the Seasoned Salad Savior” (sorry had to say it, 1,000 apologies your way).

I am sure there are other people worth mentioning; however, at the moment, I don’t feel like thinking. So, without further delay, I am leaving this computer in favor of something more exciting, more exotic. I might go drink some bourbon out of a fucking pineapple, with a side order or guava, or something awkward like that.

Amazing Stupidity

The internet is a wonderful place, full of arm-chair analysts, who have zero industry experience. These people type long essays, prognosticating dire events, specifically for the U.S. Despite other nations having much worse fundamentals, these one man think tanks declare “The US will crash again,” under a heap of treasury bills. They throw out big numbers, like 55 trillion, and exclaim “it’s only a matter of time until the U.S. double dips itself into depression.”

Instead of trying to out-think the one man think tankers, I offer a phrase in rebuttal: “who gives a fuck?”

If the internet is well aware of these numbers, so are foreign central banks. It is my understanding, foreign central bankers (particularly the Asian ones), enjoy the current arrangement, with regards to America buying their crap in order to fuel their growth.

So, before you money losers dive in head first, short this market, keep in mind that Black Swan events (2008 credit crisis) do not occur often and are NEVER forecasted by cretins from the internet.

I have meetings to attend for the remainder of the day. Sometime tonight, iBC will issue 2010 predictions, from all tabbed bloggers, on one big PDF file, for your review. In the meantime, enjoy the bull market and feel free to flick your lit cigars at the doom and gloom, burlap sweater wearing, beartards.

Shorts Roasting at 192 Degrees

It is true: Yesterday, I sold out of 90% of my Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc. [[GMCR]] position. However, that does not preclude me from participating in today’s spike, quite the contrary. For the love of little squirrels and French strudels, I am still long the stock and will be most delighted to see it charge higher. See, I am not attached to stocks, like you are to a chart. I use them as vehicles, in order to get from point A to point B. I will not lie to you and say “I never get emotional with stocks”; because I too am human (half) and fall victim to delusional fantasies.

Case in point: holding Flotek Industries, Inc. [[FTK]] , with an overall cost basis of around $2.30, was a mistake, yet here I am still holding it. Why?

Perhaps I truly believe that the stock has been unfairly punished and is cheap? Or, maybe the stock possesses hypnotic powers over me, effectively tossing me into a handicap chair, disabling me from selling it. Whichever the answer, I should not be in the stock, period. However, since I am already in the stock, with no choice other than to root for the shares to climb higher, I insist, rather emphatically, that the company is led by fucking big booted homo clowns, who must use company dollars to shoot each other in and out of carnival cannons while saddled on lazy camels, instead of selling drilling parts. Hopefully in 2010, they can regain some dignity and I can get the fuck out of the stock.

Another interesting name is Sears Holdings Corporation [[SHLD]] . The stock has been a favorite for shorts, mainly due to K-mart being such a terrible retailer and Cramer loving the name. Nonetheless, Sears is a cash cow and the Chairman, Eddie Lampert, is on a mission to annihilate those who bet against him, via large company sponsored buyback program. Let’s face it, the consumer goods sector is on fire, as evidenced by sales data out of Whirlpool Corporation [[WHR]] and Jarden Corporation [[JAH]] . Where do you think those fuckers sell their fucking blenders?

Exactly.

Look for SHLD to bust through $100, AND MORE, in 2010.

Finally, let it be known, it’s cold as fuck here in NYC. Natural gas has been an enormous disappointment for investors in 2009. All of that shit is about to change, in a big way. With my money, I am long SandRidge Energy Inc. [[SD]] and intend on making it a top 3 position of mine, alongside other names like Arena Resources, Inc. [[ARD]] and GMX Resources Inc. [[GMXR]] . If you are wondering “what’s it all about,” I will tell you.

It’s all about flaying short sellers and wearing their skin to your next dinner party. That’s what it’s all about. Find a stock with a large short position, accumulate it ever so gingerly, then go in for the kill.

Top picks: SandRidge Energy Inc. [[SD]] , Corinthian Colleges, Inc. [[COCO]] , Sears Holdings Corporation [[SHLD]]

Closing Out the Year with Wins

With Flotek Industries, Inc. [[FTK]] and Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc. [[GMCR]] tailwinds, “Le Fly” is closing out his best investment year since 1999. I would like to thank all of you for helping me; but that would just be a lie.

See folks, while you stay home studying your fucking charts, I am flying in saucers, trying to figure out tomorrow’s trade. Granted, having a run away market since March has helped a bit. However, I do not know many people who had the internal fortitude to stay long, for as long as I have, without flinching, without being gay and stupid.

I give thanks and praise to myself for creating The PPT, alongside Lord Jeremy of the Twin Cities. Without it, I would have driven myself mad, allocating countless hours of my time doing research that PPT can accomplish with one click. Indeud. The one thing The PPT excels at is saving me from wasting time. In my business, time is money; and right now, you fuckers are costing me money.

I sold out of 90% of my Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc. [[GMCR]] position because the move higher was too sudden. In my opinion, I believe the stock will surpass $100 and punch its enemies in the face. However, I’d be an idiot not to take a 2 week 20% profit, on my largest position, during the final week of the year. With some of the proceeds, I bought Corinthian Colleges, Inc. [[COCO]] , based upon sector strength, a monster short position and rigorous attitude towards winning in names that chart lovers despise.

And, for tax loss purposes, I closed out my Homex Development Corp. (ADR) [[HXM]] position.

See you motherfuckers tomorrow!

A Green Robed Day

Due to today’s monster wins, I’ve taken the liberty to change clothes, not too much different than Mr. Rogers. Instead of walking around like a pompous asshole, dressed in a suit, I now walk the Earth in a green robe with black sandals. I imagine this confuses many of you who are accustomed to a “white robe” dress code. So you know, the green robe represents something much more than just a color. It represents dignity, honor and greed at the highest level.

“My greedy green robe” is what I call it, prior to adorning it with my person.

When dressed in a green robe, “The Fly” will steal your wallet, if given the chance, and donate the contents of your pathetic carrying case to his favorite charity.

I will take thee wallet with rigor, then kick you down a flight of stairs, lined with spikes—all the while smoking from a pipe.

After today’s trading session, I will walk into my favorite steak house, dressed in my infamous “green robe,” while smoking a large cigar, and demand to be seated “at once.” Failure to obey these orders will result in my cigar ashes being purposely dropped on their cash register.

As for the market:

I am too busy to even think about it, let alone look at it. Just know and understand, “The Fly” is winning with profuse efficiency. And, just to rehash this important article, I am take a new initiative by “going green.”
