Birchtree's Account Talk

Birch,
This year I've learned to think of the TSP on a quarter basis irregardless of my ranking on the Tracker.

There is still a lot of stuff going on -- and nothing we can do to change it.



You'd mentioned being at the doctor's office the other day when the WW vet walked in. I hope you're doing okay Birch. If anything is happening (or ever would) -- PLEASE - don't wait till the last minute to say something.

Well, have a great weekend -- see ya next week.

Steady
 
I was at the Dr's office to review my blood draw for cholesterol, PSA, etc. He told me to start taking an aspirin daily and do even more gardening. So I'm cool for now.

Anyway -- sounds perrrr fect
 
"The current reading of the percentage of advancing stocks on the S&P 500 is a bullish 80.40% and still rising. At this range, any market correction is short-lived and shallow. Longer term, Q1 represents the start of the third year of the bull market. Investors should understand that there is probably another 18 to 24 months of growth still to come."

I was going to try and hold my ATLS for a possible bidding war but now with this consolidation I plan to sell it Monday and use the proceeds to buy more wall flowers. I would anticipate an early intraday smash that will open up the golden prices like a spring flower - my list is complete and I'm ready to buy some happiness. I received my allotment of pain today so I'm refreshed and ready for the next bull leg to kick me into full gear.
 
Well Birch, congratulations on the ATLS. I'm wondering why you continued to hold after they quit paying divvys last year. Were you prescient? or just stubborn?
 
I never like to sell my precious wall flowers but now I need to make the sacrifice for cash because there are other deserving wall flowers waiting to join the harem. The more flowers the more healthy the bouquet - I expect there will be other buyouts as the economy continues to improve. I have 35 precious ones on my list to be bought and we'll see how far the money takes me. I don't think this consolidation will last long and may already be over. Buy'em when they are golden - I'm such a greedy bugger I'm almost perverted. No panic here yet even though I did get spanked today.
 
My oceanic gave back $52K this week of my $164K from last week. So the pain is tolerable and welcomed. Now I get to do some buying at lower prices before the snap back. I'm taking book that my friend amoeba will be 100% gilded lily before the end of next week trying to resist the pull toward #400. He'll have a chance to make money in December.

"I'm really not all that concerned about the divergences with the April highs because this rally so far does not represent a full wave 3 but rather only 1 of 3. In my view it just means that on a longer term basis there is room to run before becoming overbought on these indicators. But I think that they will actually end up being 'Wall of Worry' material that gets many traders bearishly wrong footed looking to short a long term decline rather than buy an intermediate term pullback."

"Rejection may be hard for most poliicians to accept, but might be good for the nation and the world. Obama Regime's mismanagement of U.S. economy was rejected on 2nd of November in the U.S. election. The rejection ushered in the greatest change in political power in the U.S. since 1948. Thus far, Obama Regime's only positive legacy will be the greatest political rejection in 62 years. That development means Obama Regime's reign of terror on wealth and economic growth has ended. That is bullish news for the U.S. dollar."

I mentioned the other day my view on kids voting and now I have some confirmation - at least I don't stand alone.

From the Times Union by Ann Coulter on 11/14/10

"Brain research in the last five years at Dartmouth and elsewhere has shown that human brains are not fully developed until age 25 and are particularly deficient in their frontal lobes, which control decision-making, rational thinking, judgement, the ability to plan ahead and to resist impulses.

It would almost be tolerable if everyone undrr the age of 30 just admitted they voted for Obama because someone said to them, 'C'mon, it's really cool! Everyone's doing it!' We trusted them, and now we know it was a mistake. Young people voted for Obama as a fashion statement." GD fools.
 
Searched the net for a video, with no luck. Prior to the election, I dont remember if it was Beck, O'reilly, letterman, whoever.....a tv show host went out on the streets to ask random people who, then why they were voting Obama. The same answer repeted, hope and change. When asked hope for what specifically, they could only reply hope "for change". When asked what change specifically they were looking for, the general reply was "a change for something different". Most were in the 20-30 y/o bracket.
Oh well....I voted with the bottom 2% of the country, so what do I know.
 
M&As are popping this morning. Another potential bidder for my MEE. I sold ATLS and bought: AZZ, CPX, TEX, PCX, ARJ, HNR. I've got money so I'll probably be back later for a few more lovely wall flowers.
 
Mindylou says don't be a clucker - go ahead and pull the trigger. So I'm off to do some more buying. Maybe some auto parts and oil service companies. And don't forget the retailers.
 
Here's what I came up with: ARM, TEN, STO, KMT, ANN. If we can hold Dow 11,300 before the close I'm fully willing and capable of spending more to support the bull.
 
MT is now sniffing around my MEE and that's good. I would like to see a bidding war develope between MT and ANR that pushes the price to $75 and then a white knight steps in and takes the cake at $80. I'm chomping on the bit to do more buying but may have to wait until later unless we get Dow 11,300. Bring me the pop boyz.
