‘fess up – you typed that up at 9 a.m. so you could hit ctrl+c, enter, didn’t you?
Buy on the rumor, sell on the news…
@3 – thats so gosh darn original. Did you have a wet dream typing that?
Senor Beard dropped his poker face.
no ass eating here.
@2,it’s ctrl+v
so how far does the market fall from here, is the next question?
@2
9 a.m. three weeks ago whitey. I save it to wurd to your mother bitches. I need to be careful and make sure I don’t post this too soon and end up being #5. One time I ended up eating my own ass.
And it was all that bitches.

Congratulations to the Fed on having one less bullet to use! (Just extra weight to carry, anyway.)
Silly 6 he needs to copy it first. So it’s C then V. Market gets dropped like a prom dress; 75 beeps priced in yesterday. #3 hits it, 75 the rumor. Final 30 minutes of trading I’m calling DOW down 350 from current levels.
hi bois ; )

@4 No I was wide awake during it, even better

LMAO thanks
@11–thats good, now show the office your stained pants……back to Omaha and the sheep farm for you

Good luck TGFD. Remember pigs grow and hogs get slaughtered so don’t get too greedy. At 3:12 you’re up 159 beeps, not bad for a couple of hours. Take a look at covered call writing on high dividend yielding stocks, a conservative strategy. PFE looks great with a 7.8 yield. If you’re lucky you’ll get the income from the dividend and writing the call for several periods. If the stock tanks you have a quality blue chip that yields almost 8. Quality and moderation.
@#25…
Thanks for the info. I didn’t buy much SDS. Not greedy.
The Guy from Delaware
p.s. Does anybody have an idea on the market’s reaction to the election?
TGFD, just keep adding SDS. It’s looking better and better
300 points in 13 minutes, bs. Sticking with the markets first reaction after the announcement, DOW down.

@25 thx for regurgitating blogs and newsletter advice.
Hey @ 26 you are right on the money. What does bps stand for? Bernake’s Penis Size? Speaking of 50, I just had a bowel movement in the office bathroom and the toilet clogged.
Whats up with all of the amateurs here? Who says “beeps” and “drops like a prom dress” (@9). Did you get all of your material from some lame ass trading from dummies book?
Then check out #25 he is also on the ‘beeps’ train, Hogs get slaughtered? That’s original.
@25 is a doofus. Anyone who recommends covered call is a doofus.
Be a hero. Sell the skew. Put selling baby.

3) people who complain about people in category 2

Close down 350? you have your ass so deep in your brain that you think with your ass

@ 36 You are right. I liked Deal Breaker better when Sham Wow and mayo guy were posting. Also if you are buying bond options you should buy upside puts and sell the dollar against it.
Sweet sell-off. Guess the shorts came back with vengeance for the ass-kicking they’ve been taking the last 2 days.
@43,
Since he said “down 350 from current levels” in the final 30 mins, and seeing how there was a 430 point swing in about 5 mins, I would venture to say it is you who is the idiot.
Reading comprehension…you haz none.
at 10 you ever write any shit like that again Bess will send PETER NORTH over to deal with your ass, I mean face.

who the hell says “beeps”!!!??? If anything I guess it would be “bips” but why not just write it like everyone else “BPS” you morons……
@#44…
TGFD did not sell today. So far I’m up because SDS closed at 93.60. I guess we’ll see what happens tomorrow.

I am a very successful bond trader.
What is a bp?
I am lucky to get a plus.
Don’t forget 33 the fed dropped by half a percent today, that’s 50 beeps. If it was three quarters of a percent that would be 75 beeps. For example I bought at 87.52 and sold at 93.45, that’s .06776 or 677 beeps. ((93.45/87.52)-1) Remember to move the decimal 4 times to the right, not 2.

@48
Guess we have another one who thinks with his ass.
“Final 30 minutes of trading I’m calling DOW down 350 from current levels.”
He posted at 2.44pm. So “current levels” refer to 9100.
It closes at 8990.
9100 – 8990 = 110
Now we know you can’t solve simple math problems with an ass
If you interpret “current levels” as the levels during the final 30 mins, then we also know that you can’t comprehend with an ass
TGFD – great job
IMHO – look to sell the SDS as we get close to 900 on S&P.
Hey Spode, I love you but you just got bitched by The Guy from Delaware.

Thanks for your kind words. I’ll be watching the S&P tomorrow.
BTW, does anyone believe VISA’s claim that they expect EPS to increase “at least” 20% per year thru 2010? Aren’t credit cards setting up to be the next meltdown?
The Guy from Delaware
@56
Never said the guy was completely right, just that 43 (you?) was calling 9 an idiot for saying DJIA would be down 350, which he never did. Hence, no reading comprehension.
(Should have mentioned that 9 was early on his call, but the spirit of his comment held true…that was the other point I was making)
@62…defaults will be but people will charge charge charge until then so more merchant fees for Visa…
#43/56 It’s a good thing you waited until 4:03 to make your first post. Maybe you can tell me what the markets will do tomorrow after the close. Maybe you can go work for CNBC. Cramer is that you?
SPODE = Amateur
#65 – hands off cramer. Cramer’s call was prescient. He was proven right and it’s time your shitbags give him the credit he deserves.
@67 ha. your line reminds me of one of the prison scenes in half-baked.
“hands off. that’s my bitch!”
@67 which call? only thing that comes to mind is…bear stearns?
NOT proven right.

You’re a poor f’n excuse for DB poster. You seem more like an imposter clown masquerading as a idiot.
The Guy from Delaware
#TGFD – how does a guy from delaware end up hanging out with the big boys over here?
Like how did you even find out about the site DB?
whatelseisgoingon– I told you I worked at a pet store. Currently the Monkeys are in heat throwing their seamen at the customers. They act like they’ve been at sea for 6 months. It smells like salty bleach and tastes like chicken. They go bananas in the after hours with the disco ball but by then they’ve usually shot their load.

@#72…
TGFD first appeared on DB back in March after I found the site while looking for information on Bear Stearns. I’ve been here ever since.
The Guy from Delaware
p.s. A lot of turds have been hurled in my direction since March, but TGFD is still around. DB is a good place.
Why does TGFD refer to himself in the first and in the third person?
@#75…
Good question. Going “third person” is generally considered to be a sign of mental instability; however, TGFD prefers to think of it as a sign of his eccentricity.
The Guy from Delaware
lDlisw Very good article.Thanks Again. Much obliged.
