Birchtree's Account Talk

C'mon bring me some pain - now is the time to stop putzing around and really drill down and squeeze the greed out of me. The S fund should be prepared to relinquish at least $0.41 - that'll feel real good. Let's see if any traffic moves out of the fast lanes to something with less speed.
 
The I fund wants to double down from yesterdays earnings it seems. With low volume, I'm not sure it will recover today. Any news selling before end of day that might help?
 
It's hard to judge the closing price of the I fund due to fair valuation manipulation trying to keep traders off guard. I'm sure I'll take a hit today but perhaps a smaller hit than the S fund.
 
My HRL (Hormel Foods) currently at $51.42 is going to do a 2 for 1 stock split. Here are my DCA purchases: $21.14, 21.77, 31.89, 36.95, 38.33, 32.59 37.36 and there were 16 dividend reinvestments along the way at various prices also. Sitting on a nice profit and will continue to buy more after the split.
 
"While a correction or consolidation is likely in the cards there is no mistaking that the trend remains bullish as evidenced by higher highs and higher lows in the major averages. Until the trend shifts any pullback is best seen as a buying opportunity rather than a major market peak." There are so many out in cyber space that don't like the bullishness of the Birchbull - but I'm making my money and that's what counts. Snort.

Well it's happened again - I've encountered another Johnny Depp in another thread. Someone who can dish it but not take it. 'Cry Baby'. It's not unusual for this type of behavior to eventually surface when the pressure builds and trends change.
 
Birch. I've only been onboard a short while however I've always viewed your comments to be consistent even when your $'s are crap shooting. A full time bull IMO ads a nice balance resulting in pessoptimism when times are tough.

Seems weight of $'s+ season is bringing out more scrooge than santa lately.

Weakness in the I fund - creating distance between the eater and the eaten.
:D

But all is not lost, the lowing of tasty beef is still within earshot with all those S funding hopefulls holding tight. If the Hung Sung can just pull out of its current slump and the S&P take its seasonal rocket flight - all is not lost!

BTW - your winning price ceiling is $25 BT I figure you know someplace near you that serves a decent strip and you can always add some of your own to hit DelMonicos or whatever if that suits your tastes :laugh:

IF you hit your mark that is...

You've had more to dish out these last few months. Johnny should be grateful, at least he's not sucking as bad as the 100 folks under him, and some of those folks I consider fairly smart. Too bad being smart don't equate to making money, even blind dart-throwing monkeys have been doing better.
 
Wha??? S fund is riding highest all of our funds today.

Will The sheer upward momentum of the S fund negate the advantage the C fund often holds at Christmastide? - maybe I goofed again. :eek:

O well we all start at Zero on 1/1/11
 
Birch,

If you keep hanging around in the stolid C and I funds than I might just catch you. Not really:p

You gotta know that the small and mid-caps are the backbone of the economy - like the LCpls in the Marine Corps.

The job creators or whatever.

Neither you nor I have many slow of foot prey animals ahead of us. At least till you hit the Top 50. An awful lot of slow moving old bulls pasturing there:cheesy:
 
Here is my recurring problem for most of the year. My CLF (Cliffs Natural Resources) is back to $75.69 and I'm feeling a strong pull to not look the gift horse in the mouth and sell it - but I have no logical reason to let it go. Here are my DCA purchases: $45.52, 46.87, 47.82, 50.81, 48.02. I suspect there will be a stock split around $100. This stock is a sitting duck for profit taking - but I hate to sell unless there is a sacrifice to make it worthwhile. I had a similar problem with AKS a number of years ago and ended up leaving $120K on the table after I sold. Letting it ride is so easy. Snort. I'll see where it goes after the first of the year and set a new tax program.
 
I did the same thing with progress energy, but left $175,000 on the table. I could have kicked my own arse. Like they say, hindsight is 20-20.
 
Welcome. Think about all those folks sitting at the station missing this train - their anxiety must be exploding. It's terrible being left in the dust. I should be back to buying my wall flowers next week. I plan to track this bull for years.
