Birchtree's Account Talk

Warrenlm,

Do you mean Sarah the 'Ice Princess' over at yahoo? She had a history here before I arrived. I understand she was in like with Show-me.
 
The VIX has been holding tight all day at 17.35 +0.10, but I suspect it will break into the 16 level before the market closes. Perhaps SPX above 1240 will create a buying panic and force some bears to capitulate. At least I'll have buying power for Monday.
 
Let this be a lesson to ya Birch -- the US Markets are NOT Dead.


I flies like a butterfly and stings like a bee :cheesy::laugh::D:D


Congrats my brother !!

My day is next in line !
 
I'm 80% S fund right now might be 100% soon though. I'm up 14.50% "real" Tsp account for the year, (thanx s fund) Birch, here's a toast to next year my friend....;) May you obtain all your financial goals in 2011 you old KooK! hehe...

Thanx Fish - old is only relative. I'm going to push for another $1M at a minimum. Next week is my last week to make my goal of $2M in 93 weeks off the March '09 lows. I'm currently resting at $1523K so I'll have a ways to go - I'm sure it's doable by the end of the year. That gives me three weeks to blast up into 2011. I'll get there no matter how long it takes. Then I'll work on $M #3. I believe #3 will arrive even sooner because I've got more assets working in my favor. The higher we go with this bull the more I can spend and the more you have in the more you win. It's a wondeful cycle.
 
I now have ample buying power for Monday - gotta continue to collect those wall flowers. Now is the time to load up again like in 2009 and not look back - 2011 is going to be an exciting year to make serious money. I'm still holding out for my first ever $200K week.
 
"The smart money was doing the opposite of what the permabears were saying as once in a lifetime opportunities were apparent in many markets." Birchbull got his share for sure. I was the only one I knew that was bullish in October - November 2008 and it was classic.

"There is no question about where this market is from the perspective of bull or bear. You can rant and rave all you want (amoeba) about how unfair it is for this market to be trending northward due to the headaches out there in the world from a fundamental point of view." But it's surely going to make this retired Birchbull a wealthy amigo.

Well Birch -- I suspect as the Markets rise most will say it's riding on fumes and it can't last....

that is can't hold ....


Sooooo hold tight my friend ...... we've heard it all before.
 
My Mindylou says show no fear and step up to buy'em early and often: TEN, WGO, AYI, JAH, CBI, ENH, GPX, RJF, FAF. I suspect I'll be buying most of the day. Snort.
 
So far it's good to be a bull and a buyer: CR, BBG, SXI, FOE, CPX, BW, AKS, BRC, FIG. And if the rally holds I'll get more buying power for tomorrow - yes it's good to be a bull.
 
Life is beautiful Birch !!!

This is the first time I've honestly felt like the BULL has come to life in a very long time.

Of course I missed the bulk of the Oba -- oh my gosh -- sorry man.

I missed the bulk of the eggplant rally --- but whatever :embarrest::(



Like taking candy from a baby Birch -- I'm very much enjoying it.


It feels like going to a play or concert -- and when you get to the building there are signs showing 'SOLD-OUT' :D -- but I've got my tickets.

Like going to the Grand Canyon -- and it showing 'no vacancy' - but my site was reserved months in advance.

Like getting to a Concert Hall -- with world renoun beauty and perfect acoustics ... and the place is packed....and the lady is just saying 'We hope you enjoy tonight's concert'.....

...and you keep walking down ...closer and closer to the stage .... and you stop at the most perfect place and have to squeeze through to get to the 2 middle chairs...:D

That's how TODAY feels to me.

Cheers my brother !!!!

I got more bullish in October/November 2008...
All I got for being more aggressive was a turd dinner, yummy...

But, I loved the April 2009 Bear Meat, very tasty.
Kinda like right now, eh...
 
I'm still kissing money away as the market gets stronger: KNL, STN, NGS, BWC, HEI, LNT. The VIX finally made it into the 16 level and now I'm paying more attention because there may be some pain right around the next corner - but I'll keep on buying trying to make money.
 
JTH,

I'm working my plan buying to my heat's delight: ELN, DRC, ALY, MRK. I'm locking in new buying power as the market rallies and thinking what wall flowers to bring into the bouquet for tomorrow. Hopefully most S funders know how to tread water by doing the dog paddle. A last hour small buying panic would be precious.
