I wonder how many 'buy and hold' idiots that got suckered into buying Twitter today
read the IPO filing? The company owes $800 million in employee compensation to be paid
out over the next four years, meaning they won't turn a profit for many years.
I would not have touched this stock with a 30 foot pole!
Twitter reminds me of the hillbilly term "Flustercluck"
Meaning a compounded fiasco where many things are going wrong at once, but in this case, flustered individuals are all talking at once, trying to resolve a problem and getting nowhere. The word evokes the sounds and images of a group of frightened hens.

Banzai was low, just watching the show
Over and over again
Knew it was time he made up his mind
To leave his underground Art behind
His boss( wife) said to him 'heh billy you'd better listen, you got no real ambition and you won't get very far'. . .
You should be tweetin' down the emerald bar.
He now spends his evenings alone in his hotel room
Keepin' his thoughts to himself
He'll be tweeting soon. . .
WB7 you know i'm joking and your Art will live on long after twitster!

A thank you and congratulations to @dickc, @mgupta, @vijaya, @gabrielstricker, and the @Twitter team! $TWTR
While at the bank today, withdrawing some toilet paper, I looked at the posting of interest rates the bank was offering - for a 5 year TDA, the rate was 1.25%. I nearly flipped out, I wanted to take a huge sledge hammer and knock that fucker apart then set that obscenity known as a bank on fire and burn that MF to the ground - so great was my moral outrage. My BP is still elevated, hours later....
Hah.

The only problem with "social media" is that there is no more "social".
Twit(ter) Twoo more ponzi for the stew!
Ahhh yes... The illusive and highly sought-after "Golden Turdball". Stalk me on Twitter, you motherfuckers!
You can always count on ' count mario dracula ' to tell it like it is(n't).
i've been trying to resolve twitter with a M Mcluhan aphorism, but its hard, because things are moving so fast. the form of the next technology takes the content from the previous technology, movies take the novel as subject matter, television takes the movies, the internet coopts the television experience, into little bit sized pieces, (like the newspaper mosiac) while social media destroys the information component of the internet, and gives you pure connectivity, contact without content. (we engage in dialogue similar to a play from theatre of the absurd) the cell phone has a similar function to what the cigarette was back in the 40s, a means of social communication. (do cell phones cause cancer?) imagine bogie with a cell phone. so now i am going to bump you off, cause you got it coming, wait a minute, i got a call. my daughter got out of school early, i have to go pick her up, lucky for you..
twitter is antisocial because the language is like the old business short hand, which was mainly about getting the facts, like a court reporter, when no one wants the facts.
antisocial is the new counterenvironment, and websites like Zero Hedge thrive in this environment.
wait a minute i take all that back, Twitter has the same IPO paradigm as Blockbuster.
Use the Tetrad Luke!
No, seriously...
"If you push something far enough, it flips into its opposite."
That's all the McLuhan you need to know. The rest is obsolete.
Shares of the Twitter are hot
for those on day one who have bought
but profits are nill
and tomorrow shares spill
for yesterday's tweet is a twat
The money to be made selling twat
Is better than what you'd have thought.
But selling a tweet as though it were meat
Is betting the cow for a squat.
Whats a twitter? A short email? Is there real substance to it, or did they just copyright a name? What exactly are they selling here?
An illusion my friend. This was to make sure Nancy Pelosi and all our cockroach reps get the payoff for selling us down the river.
so Wm, are you Lord of the Flies? (suppose those boys would have created a workable reality, and then hidden when their rescuers came. there is more than one ending to that story. some of them are better than the one the author chose)

WB7 I hoped upon hope That I would live to see the sheep stand up and just say NO ! No to Syria , no to Obamacare. Go sheep go !!!!!!!!!!
a long time ago there was an item everyone had to have, it was a method of communication, a really sophisticated gesture of the ultimate natural grace. you held the thing in your hand, and you pushed it into the dirt. you let go and then you poured water on it regularly, and in the spring the flower came and your friends and neighbors were all a twitter shall we say. then each winter you dug up the bulbs and saved them until spring. pretty neat huh? hardly what you would call a mania.
End the struggle and dance with twitter
Let's all take a goldman up the shitter.
Believe Zero Hedge & William Banzai7
Believe Obama & Bernanke
Wait. After having established their monopoly on the abuse of FORCE, COERCION and FIAT, didn't B&O also seize monopolistic control of TRUTH itself?
Ya know, it does not have to be this way.
Buy Twitter. Uncle Ben and Aunt Janet are going inflate it higher. Up, up and away. Off to their promised land of milk, honey and endless bubbly.
EU phoria indeed. Pretty good crystal ball ya got there WB7!
Twittering, Tapering,Twerking and Twisting a Top.
As soon as Twitter Trades we have a Top in Spades, turn out the lights and pull down the shades.

Does this mean someone will buy my Pets.com shares now?
It is amazing Twitter will kill off actual users if they are not PC but will do nothing about trolls using multiple identities. Gee can you say fraud, astro turf, sock puppet, and still buy stock in a company with an unkown actual customer base?
Never moon a hot dog salesman......
The never ending promotion of breathing lead. Well done, WM7 - the Dope note is fantastic. I was checking flights to HK with the wife last night. Gone up a bit since I was over there last. Would be a $5K r/t flight, 20 hrs from Atlanta. Might have to wait for a few more years, although my picts of Austin Peak and Hollywood Rd have piqued her interest (antique hound that she is).
That does not sound right. Its about $1200 R/T NYC.
That was for both of us via United - really more like $4500 - cheapest we could find on any of the usual sites. Might have to fly to JFK or Laguardia or somewhere else and then onwards. They seem to have a strangle hold on us coming our of ATL.
I think united runs nonstop flights out of chicago.

HEY...short GE
Enron bought Portland General Electric, (a privately held company they don't have to disclose shit), because of that Trojan accounting Black Hole deal with GE, sealed by a federal Judge (Hogan, retired) here in Eugene, as a result of a lawsuit in federal court [gold, cardoza vs eweb], we prevailed ordering eweb to disclose the deal (EWEB is a public utility owning 10% of Trojan). Both utilities got a sweet heart deal from Bonneville, GE and Hogan, not to disclose the defects of the Trojan Nuclear Power Plant. ..................SEE: #FUKUSHIMA
The disclaimer on the IPO pair a dimes was hilarious. Actually, it is a lot more accurate than the majority of charts on (say) Business Insider.
I also like the "100% Free of Advertising and Privacy" on your most excellent magazine.
You always hit the nail really square, and it is wonderful you are working in such a target rich envioronment.
you can tell how old this mag cover was by her nose, no girl with her looks would keep that nose in todays modeling market
WB7 we need the backside of the Fed Reserve Dope so we can print them. They will be worth atleast as much as a worthless bitcoin...
Outstanding.
What a doll.... And of course f u bernank
Normally, I'd do whatever a great pair of legs tell me to do, but not this time!
NICE!!! :-)
And fuck you, Yellen, too!
