Proof of Time Machine

Back in late December, “The Fly” warned you (internet leech) of pending doom, yet you did nothing.

Look you, “The Fly” doesn’t have time to fuck around with destitute poor guys on the internet. I do this for fun and “unfun.” Through internet ads, I make enough money to put two weeks worth of Monster Energy Soda in my refrigerator.

As for today’s trading:

Crazy people were buying financials today, due to takeover chatter.

Rubbish.

You need to understand the reason why these banks are consolidating. It’s out of fear of collapse, not desire of making money. In short, these deals are bandaid solutions to a much bigger problem.

With my money, I want to sell short [[LEH]] and the big banks, via [[SKF]].

Now, even though I believe we are in a bear market, there will be bounces. For example, I would not be surprised to see the Fed do a surprise rate cut on options expiration day. They’re fucked up like that.

Or, on the news of further consolidation, the banks can run another 10%.

However, at the end of the year, the Nasdaq 100 will give up last years gains of 18% and more. So, use the rallies to sell longs.

As for [[DECK]]:

When the Great Depression part II comes, the only use for Uggs will be food. Hot chicks will have to eat their fucking boots, due to their lack of funds to buy over-inflated groceries.

NOTE: In case you didn’t know, this was the worst start to a new year, ever.

    Exactly, and it is for that reason that I left some nutritional benefit in the ugly boots.

    The poor things would have starved if left to dine on CROX alone.

    Where is my misguided minion Frosty, by the way?

    I heard you when you said, “I see stocks and want to sell them.” I sold all stocks, both profits and losses, and went into GLD and cash.

    My question is when will the young Broker begin accumulating the coinage of the gods?

    Bring on the silver denari!

    Bring on the golden shekels!

    After all, there’s no use in “banking coin” if it is going to be transferred into increasingly worthless bits of green papyus adorned with bewigged and stern ancients.

    Deck may be the best short since CMGI @ 1000 circa late 1990s.

    Hear me now and believe me later:

    When gold finally gets to $10,000 an ounce, a loaf of bread will be $20. Monster sodas will cost $9 apiece and The Fly will no longer be able to afford a trader/servant, just a couple of non-English speaking illegals trading from an Apple II computer part-time.

    Coin or currency will have to be made “wheel barrow accessible” by law. Eventually, all coin and currency will disappear and we will only be able to use credit or debit cards in a cashless and decadent society.

    Things will get so bad that we will go back to the barter system, since there will be no more currency and banking system. Credit and debit cards will disappear since plastic will be a food source.

    Nanny goats will be at a premium, and Romania will be the capital of the “New World Order”.

    Ironically, Angelo Mozilo will make his re-appearance and corner the goat futures market, declaring himself “Capra Tannicus”, the “tanned man-goat demigod”.

    Finally, there will be no more followers of Shorticus, since there will be no more markets to short. He will fade away like mist, into the abyss of forgetfulness.

    All because of sub-prime lending.

    Odd, no?

    Broker what was the movie clip that you posted awhile back titled “Fuck these guys”. It was about the car salesmen pep talk? I forgot the movie.

    I approve of Capra Tannicus, if only to see Mozila with a beard and four hooves.

    Even if it means my own demise. All gods must eventually fade away.

    Until then, bring on the belly dancers with their silver bells and finger cymbals!

    Bring on the frankincense! Bring on the myrhh!

    Bring on the gouts of heavy Midian wine!

    Shorticus,
    You forgot to demand gold, toga-fucker. Next time, read up on your precious metals…and quit playing “hide the lightning bolt” with your gay demigod friends.

    ——————————-
    Suny-tzu,
    I liked your book, “The Aaht of Wahl”.

    Scrofulous Dawg;

    I defecate gold, my quisling. All I require are the traditional sacrifices — goods blessed by Ceres and Bacchus.
