Fuck General Hayden, Part II: Here Is A Big Bank Stock You Can Throw In The Garbage

When picking stocks, it can in fact be harder to pick a good short stock (the price of which you are betting will decrease) than a long stock: reason being that the rising tide of capital accumulation typically lifts almost all boats. Success as a short-seller, by contrast, requires both a greater command of the fundamentals of the stock, the industry, and general economic conditions, as well as some sort of unique understanding of malaise unique to the target company.

So, let's talk about A Bank - Bank of America, which has been a complete dump for ages and it isn't a secret. But what you might not know (because, after all, it's not disclosed in any public filing or prospectus) is that their organization has so totally "gone for broke" - as they say - on employing the utterly unemployable - that [TRABLUMPKIN]-Net people like General Michael Hayden and his extended [TRABLUMPKIN]-Network can literally go out dressed up in YOUR jewellery stored in YOUR B of A vault almost whenever they want. No objections, no consequences.

This actually happened to me once. Someone I went to high school with, a girl from an immigrant family who was on the low end of the spectrum of model quality - was sent out to follow me, decked put in a substantial amount of my grandmother's good jewellery, on the streets of Boston in the spring. I ignored her; nothing else could possibly be done under the circumstances without incurring great risk. But the jewellery was returned, fully intact.

Never trust Bank of America. They'll do exactly the same thing to your money that they already do to your valuables. And if there's any confrontation, ever, they'll steal everything you have and kill you.

P.S. Another bank stock you could throw away right now is ING, but that situation is totally different. Call or email me.
