He's channeling Mark Tepler here in that the Govt/Fed will intervene rightly or wrongly so. The wide range quoted for the SP indicates to me that he's a bit unsure, just like the rest of us common folks.

I have the perfect solution to help save Uncle dollars - simply stop paying the minority at risk population from having illegitimate children. Save 18 years of funding and save the school systems at the same time. The criminal element would be reduced - Florida spends more money on their penal system than the school system.

Lady Heather finally came by and took me to task - the pain was so enjoyable. She decided to drip hot wax on my back and buttocks - now that was refreshing. My coal stocks are keeping me from falling too fast today - so I'm going to place my IFT again for COB 11/12 and take on 10% more S fund for a lower low tomorrow. I'm really not used to playing rabbit but I do have a strategy.

It's such a beautiful day here in North Florida Cracker Country - my Shishi Gashira Camellia is starting to bloom and the tomatoes are basking in the sun. I'll have corn probably in another two weeks. It all makes me feel fortunate. The wife still loves me and Minfylou spent the whole night between my legs. And 2011 is going to make me very wealthy to the point of affluent - now if I just had a six pack of Moxie....My daughter just called and wished me a veterans day gratitude and I wished her the same - some day we'll go to the local VFW and share a drink. By the way, my wife made me promise not to watch "Pacific" today so I'm stayting away from the series this go around.

no moxie here, but i always remember big red on family summer trips to PA, cousin in the tube top next to the pool didn't hurt the picture either.
your wife lets your mistress wax burn your cheeks while having a drink with your daughter, and a pussy cat that spends all night between your legs? must be some kind of life you got there.
i'll have what he's having.

Watching some episodes of Judge Joe Brown and Judge Judy can open one's eyes to the creative way "programs" are used to ensure an income stream. While the culture is to see those sources as the normal means to obtain currency, and local civil servants are incentivized to meet their "clients" needs instead of seek to minimize cost to taxpayers, the population on "programs" will continue to grow at higher and higher rates. It's amazing to watch individuals see this as normal. How about a teenager collecting 11.74 per hour to care for her Alzheimer's affected aunt for three years, then replaced by the aunt's daughter in the job, allowing the now fired caregiver to collect $1,174/mo in unemployment. I guess they'll switch back at some point.

I thought you were joking, like Moxie was the testosterone shot you missed.
But after your continued reference (including but not limited to having a.. ahem..."feline" for want of a better term, between your legs),
I found this rather quickly with the almighty search engine!
Bottoms up! \_/

I haven't had a moxie for years, remember it was a little sweet.
Birch:
Has Moxie been changed since, say, 1968?
I hope Mindylou doesn't do one of those sleepy, claws out cat stretches and accidently inflict any damage.
I love the idea of sharing a drink with my daughter, though she would have to bring me to the VFW as a guest. Isn't t funny how our world has changed. FWIW my little sister could also take me to the VFW. Me, feather mercant that I am, have to settle for American Legion or AMVETS.
Happy veterans day.
Warrenlm: You gotta love these shows featuring people gaming the system. I would rather have done it my way and I think I made more money in the end. Of course I did have to get up every day and go to work.

Check this out. On Tuesday when the Dow was -60 my oceanic gave up $43K so today with the Dow -74 my oceanic gave up $152. My commodity stocks held me up - perhaps they'll save me on another day. I'm not going to fight the Fed. Katie Stockton says we may have a few more days to the downside - so bring it. With the possibility of aggressive monetary policy and some job growth with a better consumer sentiment we may be at the beginning of a very nice bull run into 2011. I'm trying to set my TSP for some forward movement with two months left to get some mojo. I'm waiting on the first week of December to put in a bottom before Santa arrives. My plan is to start taking 10% off the S fund when it reaches $21 or when the VIX goes through the 16 level - which ever comes first.

Birch, do you know about this:
http://www.honorflight.org/programs/index.cfm?s=FL#map
We can't all be heroes. Some of us have to stand on the curb and clap as they go by ~Will Rogers
Honor Flight Network will continue do whatever it takes to fulfill the dreams of our veterans and help our senior heroes travel absolutely free.
Subsequent to the World War II veterans, our efforts will then focus on our Korean War and then Vietnam War veterans, honoring them similarly.

Was going to say over the weekend - cause yesterday felt like that..:cheesy:
Anyway -- The biggest 'money saver' I thought about yesterday is dealing with everyone in the prison system.
Make it easy - Someone gets LIFE or (pick a number where they lose their rights (say 20 years or more) -- Rewire their brains -- and let them be 'productive citizens'

Well Birch ---
FIRST their was 'No evidence was found that a conscious decision was made to sacrifice safety in order to save money'
So everything looks good and we can all stand proud and be grateful the world is the way it is...
Then for those who bother making any attempt to find the 'Truth' -- we find it's impossible to 'find evidence' when the Panel responsible to gathering the information it needs - finds its greatest Hinderance is Lack of Subpoena Power against the companies most centrally involved with the rig and a variety of rig operations.
H.R. 5481 - passed on 6/23 by 420 to 1 - which was The Subponea Power Bill to find anything and everything to do with the Gulf Oil Spill -- well gosh darn it -- it's been Blocked by the Senate to this day.
The 4th attempt in 9/10 would have likely passed if they included 'an amendment'
:worried: - which a panel member called 'a poison pill' 
His time will come -- just like Teddy
The 58,000 all the more deserve to know 'everything' that was hidden.
That's what burns me the most. I believe 'we' the American Population have a right to 'full disclosure' - especially when we're giving our lives and I think these 'dirt balls' should have to openly pay the consequences.

Well this is a nice sell-off - just what the bull ordered to unwind some of the bullish sentiment and oscillators. The tracker is starting to show some movement as folks position for their next move during this race. #32Castaway has gone 60G, 40F, #18 Chocolate Lover has gone 100G (ouch), #25 Mack-Daddy has loaded up again at 100S and #30 Truehonest has moved to 100%I fund. I'm satisfied with the downside today because it may help my lowly position in the long run. Now if the dip buyers just stand back and let the market settle. If the consolidation continues into next week I may sell my ATLS for cash to do some prescient buying. No one ever said it was easy to be greedy when others are fearful - so bring on a little panic. The VIX at 20.77 provides me with plenty of play room.

The VIX is now at 21.16 +2.55. Now is not the time to sell - we are just smoothing the EMAs. Monday could be a strong snap back and you don't want to miss those gains. If we stay soft the rest of November I can look forward to a large dividend month in December. So this give back is the pain I want because it will set the market for the next leg up past SPX 1250 and then on the way to 1475 before the year ends. Don't believe it - well take Granthams advise and stay in cash and let the risk takers haul in the money.

BT, Newbie question??? VIX - I understand this has to do with Volume of trading. Now double check myself,, If this number goes way up, is that Bad? Or is the other way? What's your range you look for, if you don't mind me asking..... You may refer to this as your "Pucker Factor" :nuts:

As the VIX goes up so goes fear and the market drops - now is the time to buy and I'll start next week as prices become golden once again.
