I'm still waiting for a White Knight to surface on my ARJ takeover - it's worth more than $47.20. Once I get a firm date on the buyout I may exercise some of my 0% credit balances and place orders for more sweet wall flowers knowing I'll receive cash to pay back the loans. There is nothing wrong with credit management if done correctly especially when the credit access is done to provide leverage in a rampaging bull market. Gotta keep every dollar working - as they say money likes nothing better than to make more money. So bring on the White Knight - I'm getting anxious to chase this bull. Snort.

Well I think the bull went on vacation...or into hibernation. :)
 
Birchtree, thanks for chumming with me. Both were in December. Two ceremonies a week apart. Your daughter and son-in-law sound like sensible young people with a future. Good for them.

I hope this bull market lasts, that is to say, gets going again! People say it has several months of gas left in it. Yes, snort indeed. I'm still trying to recover my losses.

I've got a nephew who came back from Afghanistan with post-traumatic stress syndrome. He may be getting better. I hope he starts to get employable, for his own sake. They barely even took him in, the Army, that is, when he applied. The older nephew finally passed the Calif. bar on his fifth attempt (it is reputed to be hard). I guess we'll see where that leads. Smart kid, got his BA from FSU in 3 yrs. I care about my daughters. My nephews will never get a dime out of me.

See my response to your response on Buster's thread. The guy will the jail bars in his picture. Hey, and a la NASA man, may the force be with us! Go gators!
 
MaSta: When the market is oversold... That is the time to buy... Sentiment Survey is BUY BUY BUY!!!! Full Moon is also in place... I maybe get in the game tomorrow but not later than Monday!!! Just playing conservative... :)
 
Did you know that every Jr college has an active minority at risk program that deals with black recruitment. This staff is paid for from government social spending. The problem is that most recruited studends must spend at least two years of remedial training before they are qualified to begin junior college. And guess who pays for all this education benefit - you do. You wanna cut spending shut off the financial incentive for out of wedlock pregnancy - reduce illegitimacy and you reduce welfare. Reduce illegitimacy and you improve public school performance. Reduce illegitimacy and states would save money on prisons.
 
FWM,

I'd gladly take the sacrificial hit to SPX 1000 if it mean't the finality of the Obummer reign. The perp needs to go back to the hood.
 
I was looking at some lake lots at Lake Glenville, NC back in 2005 and most were selling for $1M. I made an inquiry yesterday and two lots are now selling for $375K. I might be able to go as low as $312K before I bite. I'll be ready to sit down with bankers in Feb. '12.
 
Mapper,

It's the middle of winter and usually very quiet in the real estate industry when pricing may be negotiable. Plus you get better views when there are no leaves to obstruct. Money wise I'll be in excellent shape by Feb. I'm anticipating this bull market to add another $1M to my bottom line. I need to pull my wife out of her job and she might be ready to move during the summer - at least that's the plan. Everything takes planning and this bull market is going to run for several more years.
 
Obummer says time for debt agreement running out. Well then why doesn't he put his numbers for spending reductions on the table in writing. I think the GOP is doing an end run around on welfare and Obummer knows it - and it's going to be fatal to his re-election.
 
Thanks, I'm looking to make a move into real estate...first time ever in the next year or so. I haven't done a lot of planning but figure winter is the soft period...I figured you would be all over any timing issues for your market; although I'm looking at Park City Utah, which has Sundance in February...everyone troyes to sell then!Going to be a stretch for me and I'm thinking of it as a long term investment and primary residence...so trying to identify the weakest period here will be important

JP,

I don't own any CHK - but I've got a bunch of other natural gas stocks. Perhaps some will become buy outs and I will hate to tender them up - but in this game I'll have no choice. My PXD was very active today as a potential contestant. I should be glad when wall flowers achieve the status of roses - but when you own 326 different positions things will happen that are out of my control. Next week promises to be hot with more M&A.

I watched a documentary on shale as a natural gas source and my curiosity peaked...of course. Been looking at CHK for a few days and noticed the price spiking. Was wondering if it was making some money for you. :)
 
Well it was a devaluation week for the oceanic. Here is what happened: -$104K, -$16K, +$40K, -$45K, +$47K for a grand devaluation of -$78K. That will undoubtedly come back to papa next week. I'm still determined to lock that $2M gain off the March 9, 2009 lows. It's just taking longer than anticipated but when I get it $3M will come sooner. I'm going to patiently wait for some of that parabolic acceleration I'm always talking about. I can feel the tremors on the rails.
