Birchtree's Account Talk

[Birchtree]

I have 7 dividends due for reinvestment today - so please bring me golden prices.

I think I'll take just a moment of braggadocio before the opportunity disappears - my oceanic account as of yesterday is ahead +$783K year to date. A $1M target should be accessable at some point this year - maybe even more if I get some margin buying power. Waiting patiently for more buying power. Then the fun really starts. I know, I'm playing on the rails but one has to have courage when buying in a healthy bull market that is already four years old and up about 150% - but there is more gains available and I want to participate - aggressively. Snort.

I'm waiting on the BAC thrusters to kick start this bank into the $15 range. A year and a half ago I was -$7K in the hole and now I'm +$34K positive - what the heck happened? I just kept adding to my position and now the rewards are mine. I'll be buying this puppy all the way to $35 and then some.

I have been doing the same... BAC and the other big banks like C, WFC and JPM. I'm also adding KBWB on any weakness to get some regional bank exposure as well. Financials will continue to do well as the economy continues to recover.

I'm wondering where the SPX will be when the VIX rolls into the twelve zone again? Perhaps over 1710 would be my guess.

Why do I keep adding to my coal positions - well because I can and I'm a renegade contrarian. Even so, some day I may need the write offs.

My Mindylou wants to know who that handsome feline is that lives with Susan Stasel?

Mindylou would love both him and his brother! They are both 7 year old male Bengals. The first picture is of Tai -- he's a brown marbled tabby bengal. The next picture is of Ming -- he's a brown spotted tabby bengal. Both are incredibly friendly/affectionate and have the hunting/stalking/jumping/climbing traits of their ancestors. Ming is more wild looking (and acting) as he is an F5 (only 5 generations removed from an Asian Leopard Cat). He's very long and tall but only weighs 8 lbs -- all muscle.



Although -- a friendly warning comes with this breed -- for anyone interested. 7 things you should know before buying a bengal cat - YouTube

Lovely pictures indeed. Mindylou is a Tonkinese and will be seven in September. She has assumed the responsibility of being my investment adviser and likes to edit my buying lists. We take a daily nap together most days when the market closes.

There's still time to add to bank positions - gett'em while they are hot getting hotter.

I did step in and buy more MS - I may make some serious money today. I'm wanton for more gains.

For the week ended July 10, equity funds had inflows of $7.6 billion, up sharply from inflows of $246 million in the previous week. Domestic equity funds rose $4.55 billion, while foreign equity funds gained $3 billion. Bond funds had outflows of $8.1 billion, compared with prior week outflows of $5.98 billion. This type of activity can last for years - supporting Ferdinand's gluttony.

At the start of 2013, as stock prices enjoyed a steady rise higher the VIX was on its way to a six year low of 11.3 in March. We are headed there again.

C'mon now, I just saw the margin turkey pop his head up, so I know I'm close. Today might be the day when freedom rings.

You're a lucky man to have such a smart feline to advise you. Alas, my boys are more interested in "bringing home the bacon" -- be it birds or mice off the deck -- which I must emphatically deny them -- to their deep disappointment. However, I do let them join me in the craft room for more artistic endeavors. Sitting in the middle of whatever card making project I am working, adding their paws to ink, pushing undesired stamps off the table and shreading paper are all favorite pastimes. They love the "distressed" look.

Naps are a favorite around my place too, as are belly rubs!

You must post a picture of Mindylou. Does she have points?
