Birchtree's Account Talk

[crws]

My daughter tells me she knows two of her JMO friends that recently accepted employment with Kraft Ind. They are starting out at $90,000 with a $20,000 sign on bonus. These jobs are in the Chicago area. So it would appear things are looking up. Her company just hired a Navy officer that will be working with her at BP. BP will be doing a lot of hiring in their new safety division - and I suspect they'll try at some point next year to hire her away from her present employer. We have discussed this as a strategic plan for her career. She could end up doing safety audits world wide and double the salary.

Was with PM when Kraft was under the umbrella.
They are an aggressive company with a fantastic benefit package.
Welcome to the Headhunter's pastureland.

Just finished buying a few more wall flowers: CBG, KEX, AA, DSX, MDR. Some of my wall flowers are starting to turn into roses - but I want to hold them until the Q1 arrives for tax reasons. When a rose gets ready to bloom you can't stop them - they want their freedom to experience the beauty of the world.

The CEO - president of Alcoa - gave a very extensive report about many promising events totally unrelated to the 'super bounce' and forward looking prospects by which his company is thriving.

May the BULL find the greatest life possible.

Have a good weekend -- need to run.

Steady

Can you smell what the bull is cookin? My oceanic brought in $55K today and about $90K on the week - should do even better next week. Yup it smells like sweet superlative bull manure and it's wafting. TA guys are going to go crazy forcing themselves to turn to the bullish side.

I'm not crazy but am annoyed. I'm just waiting for SPX 1170 to materialize.

Nice problem to have though.

 

[Birchtree]

Not a nice problem to have when you know your friendly progressive government is only going to waste my money on some redistribution cause celebre.

 

[Birchtree]

It would appear the I fund took a nice hit on a negative fair value - it'll come back Monday. It looks like they held back $0.39.

But....it is the "friendly progressive" gov't dumping hoards of cash into the economy so your investment has turned positive.....
ho hummm
Without your tax dollars as a small proportion of your gains, how would you expect to have that 250k FDIC insurance?
I think you need to splurge and get a vanity plate like IT
You could put a bonzai tree or a small cactus (when you're feeling prickly) in the back window of your caddy!

So dumbo egg plant is going to veto the Interstate Recognition of Notarizations Act of 2009 essentially preventing foreclosures on the minority at risk subprimers and creating tax payer free public housing: Hud Section 8s. This will ensure his constitutency vote and keeps them on the Donkey titty. I knew this fool would try and do this - I wonder how responsible citizens that are making their mortgage payments feel - probably like second class citizens for sure. But don't worry - change we can count on is coming. The rats appear to be jumping the white house ship.

well if the individuals living in the homes don't own them, and the corporations that cloned the papers don't own them then... the government must own them.

what we need is a new subsidized housing program where you can get means tested and pay an appropriate monthly fee to continue living indoors, of course the gov will own the note, but it's almost the same as you actually owning it because we own the gov right?

bonus is this way it can be posted as collateral in case our lenders start calling our margin account.

hope you're good with chopsticks and mahjong.

or else like roots and berries.​

"Another Important Test."

The VIX now at 19.03 down 1.68 is telling me we could have a nice bull rally prior to the close today. The small caps are leading the way and that makes me money but it also makes me nervous.

 

[Birchtree]

"Stocks are in a multi-year bull market that is being driven higher either by corporate earnings surprises to the upside or money printing in the face of weak main street economic activity."

[Birchtree]

The VIX is now at 18.83 down 1.88 - all I can say is wow.

"One reason that money is flooding into the market is that many major hedge funds missed the September rally."

BT
do you plan on adding to the 10 in the G or are you going to put it to work after October.

 

[Birchtree]

My plan is to add another 10% to the G fund when the C fund tops $14.25. After that I'll wait and see if we get pressure from the 4-year cycle which may present a nice buying point. The VIX is dropping fast heading for the 16 level which does make me nervous because of the complacency - but money is flowing into the market and the NYAD daily cumulative index just printed a new all time high. The hard part is backing up when the bull is rampaging and this rally could be straight up to SPX 1222 and beyond.

No shame in taking profits off the table, my man.
The next rally you could start your way up from page 2!
