Prosperity Springs!

by The Fly on April 24th, 2008 at 3:35 pm

I have important matters to look after, so this quick note will have to suffice as today’s closing comments.

As you know, “The Fly” has snapped, causing him to allocate large amounts of appreciating dollars into financial stocks. I just like them. No rhyme. No reason.

Just today, I received multiple unsolicited buy orders for ridiculous banks. Normally, I’d fight the counter-party, in order to stop such transactions—but not today.

No, today everything changed. From here on, bank executives will be eating their mashed potatoes with gravy, as opposed to plain with salt.

I had to reshuffle many things.

For example: I trimmed back some (SRS: 85.75 +1.18%) and covered all of my shorts, except (POT: 173.60 -1.75%).

In addition, right now I have zero (SKF: 116.69 -0.05%), zero gold and no bets against the consumer.

Despite what the coffee fags from (SBUX: 15.56 -2.63%) say, the American consumer is on fire or “en fuego”— if you prefer a little latin flavor.

In closing, “The Fly” is well on his way to great success and unparalleled command of the U.S. and global stock markets.

    I guess this means we should go long DECK, in size, before earnings. After all, summer is well on its way & what better way to stroll around the beach, than in a pair of furry-ass boots.

    DECK numbers out. My balls are flaming. Yah! Consumer is no doubt en fuego. They will be buying every fucking fad this summer there is. Get your HLYS and CROX bids ready boys the consumer is just bulging with cash due to the efficiency of 120 oil and $4.00 gas. It run so much better. Don’t forget how you only need to eat once a week with the better rice and corn. Loving it!

    Jobless claims were a yawner. Much to the chagrin of all the doom and gloomers talking about depressions and such bullshit, consumers still have jobs so consumption isn’t going to fall off a cliff.

    The market is marching back to the October highs with or without you. The Fly finally figured it out after the market went 10% in his face in a month.

    TC,
    The companies consult Fly’s voodoo witchdoctor and a preliminary number is determined. The Fly then threatens to withhold the witchdoctor’s allotment of pure white chickens if he doesn’t devulge the earnings numbers, thus blackmailing him for inside information. You can probably figure out the rest.

    I haven’t had any problems shorting DBA (or DBC) but for a daytrader like me I have to wait for more volume on AGA as the spreads are still too wide. I tried to short XLB today but none available which was a load of crock. SMN is a pain in the ass because of the spread although it has decent volume. SMN is a moneymaker for the market maker. I will NEVER trade SMN as a daytrade.

    DT,

    Call the City By-Law Enforcement Office. Most places have guidelines and impose fines if “Skippy” won’t shut the fuck up.

    Here it was $1500. They first send out a letter that outlines the fine, and mentions someone complained, and you might get a copy of the letter with a log sheet to record the times and duration, if it continues.

    Here, “Skippy” next door, STFU immediately. Guess DoucheBag DumbFuck, his owner, didn’t want to pay the fine.

    If it continues, ask Fly, I’m sure he “knows a guy or two” that could do a drive by.
