For you my friend........almost free.

Guaranteed cheeper than KMart. :blink:

trade you for a card?

actually, a rain check, getting a new ride and wiping everything on this side, will try to replicate some current designs, but bound to be some new shiny stuff too, dealer's choice.

 

[burrocrat]

Scrappy, I love your system. Sign me up. But can I pay less than burro? He has a snazzy icon. :laugh:

i liked my free rope belt until i realized it was a thong, been afraid to ask where he got it, and how do i get it off?

it pinches and chafes a bit.

i want a refund already.

new allocation: 40G,0F,30C,15S,15I.

media attention span is only so long.

we're due for some good news, get it while it's hot.

Birinyi is looking for this bull market to rack up 162-210% gains from the March 2009 lows. So we've got a 95% gain in 24 months. This bull market has the strongest start of any in history. The real point is, don't get rattled, don't get shaken out; this is a long term rally.

 

[burrocrat]

roger that, the tide's rising, just playing in the waves a bit, trying catch an extra one or two.

 

[burrocrat]

new allocation: 0G,0F,60C,12S,25I and 2050-1,2040-1,2030-1

2nd IFT for the month, doing the two step, all back in.

besides that was the longest i think i've ever sat 100G, just not my style.

To grapple with the debt, a committee of Wall Street bond dealers and investors that advises the Treasury recommended the government expand its domestic demand and offer new securities, including “ultra-long” bonds of as much as 100 years, to reduce dependence on foreign holders.

rhetorical question, what do you do when you're broke? raise your own credit limit of course.

if history is any guide then stocks will outperform bonds, and with G bonds returning zero, then that means stocks will be positive right?

i think i'm onto something here.

maybe when the Koch Bros get done sellin off Wisconsin, they'll flip one of their GP Mills to making Bernanke Butt Wipe!
That's whose face is on the 100, right?

last year i tossed away all my gains over a couple of particularly bad weeks.

this year i think i might go negative in just 3 consecutive trading days.

yep, i getting better at this all right.

 

[burrocrat]

well that went a whole lot better today than i thought it would. was gonna pull the trigger right back out and get safe with whatever was left but workload so stacked up that i couldn't even look until it was too late. that's a good thing for today, wonder how smart that will look next week?

so i've been trying this contrarian investor plan, which is where i try to do what i think is the opposite if what everyone thinks you should, and it's been working out ok so far i guess.

but i'm working my new au contraire contrarion strategery, which is where i do the opposite of what i think i want to do which is what i think is opposite of what they think i should do.

it's got two contrarian signals in there so i figure it's going to do twice as good.

maybe we'll all wake up on monday and the world will be all better? if you got any ruby slippers laying around would you please put them on sometime this weekend and click them together while repeating 'there's no place like gains, there's no place like gains'? i could use all the help i can get.

Well, if you think the market will go up and it doesn't you're wrong. If you think the market will go down but you are contrarian and get in, if you're wrong and it goes up your right, right?

If you figure it out you'll be better than 98% of the people and we'll follow you and we'll all be right, right? Good luck

we'll all be all right. that what the preacher told me. i believed. i don't want to be better than 98%, mainly just trying to avoid ending up in the bottom 2.

and make some money, so i can afford some more of those worldly pursuits.

 

[burrocrat]

how deep's the fall....the 64 million question.
jump off the train while it's still moving and grab it on the way back, or ride it down and back out.
There has been alot of spin trying to downplay what effect it will have on the market, if we were in good shape and this was an event in an otherwise healthy market, I'd say no big deal, but we're not too far from the recent peak and I think it could get a little spooky.
Well, if you have 2 moves to burn, you could do a split as a hedge.

i used both moves already buying in last week, went halfway then after the -2% day got the other half on sale. no moves but out or <1% for the rest of the month.

there's no place like home, there's no place like home.

 

[burrocrat]

gut check. who's got their sticky pants on?

set your private broker limit buys at -4% and load up buttercup.

get it while it's hot.

there's panic in the air, can you smell it?
