Not my intention. I don't belong in this group as I never talk about investment strategy. Usually that amounts to only looking when it is too late, riding dips down, missing buying dips and looking at the dip who lives in my bathroom mirror.



This is a subject that must be handled with the utmost diligence and care.

The Heart connection would suggest a fish with sharp teeth, which would follow the aquatic theme. BTW, great to see Ann Wilson on the Tonight Show last night.

The fact she mentioned missing the ark could suggest dinosaurs as depicted in a cartoon. (still can't insert images, gotta fix that some day, the answer is out there) A song suggests the unicorns missed the ark due to silly games.

El pollo del mar from a movie suggests an aquatic theme but you all ready have a chicken. Looking through a list of vintage US submarine names has possibilities but some could go down the wrong path. There was a Unicorn, SS-436. There really is a unicornfish which is related to the tang.

Maybe annie should choose.

Gosh.. Maybe Burro should decide since it's his game. But after my last post, I'm hoping he will not be too "rough" on me. . :laugh:
I would say mermaid, but like unicorns...they are not real...plus the thought of that icon could be inappropriate for this venue. So aquatic sounds fitting....maybe a happy dolphin or sea otter. A type of dinosaur could work but they all have sharp teeth! Now..now..I don't have sharp teeth but maybe at times a sharp tongue...but not on purpose!:D now the unicorn fish sound interesting...never seen one. Is it cute?? :laugh:

Oh...burro you cute little donkey! You asked for it! Please do not watch if you think it will bring back "bad" memories that could cause you nightmares( as the link contains rough treatment!) but some how Burro I think your used to this sort of thing per your past posts. I almost think you might like this type of treatment! :laugh:

i'm not updating the zootracker tonight because it's way too late for numbers, but po is in as squirrel and dba as some kind of fish.

squirrel don't you worry, you don't have to make any moves, your presence hot or cold is an indicator.

dba don't i worry, what have you been eating, those are some awesome moves and you have a nice analysis, do you want to be shark or barracuda?
 
zoo weekly wrap up:

turtle/amoeba: (0.02)

let's all welcome a few new members to the zoo, dreamboatannie, rmi and po. remembers this does not count as investment advice, and play around at your own risk.

it looks like rmi is winning. but he is private paid service so it don't count. i was expecting cougar to end up on top this week. that's what cougars do, i guess.

Huh? What's this???
 
besides the fact that the market kicked my *ss, i had a bad day.

medical appointments suck. i had a visit with the urologist.

after the doctor did all the tests, the only thing she said was 'yep, urine trouble, this does not look good'.
 
well i've been thinking (uh oh), and i don't think 'zootracker' is the right name for my trading strategery. of course it's ok to use the public tracker info to inform trades, but i'm worried about copyright infringement on the tracker name and i hate lawyers, so i've been reading some stories and listening to tunes, or maybe it's all just a bad dream, but it made me realize i need to change the name of my system and i got some ideas, but i can't decide. so i'm taking input, any suggestions are welcome.

a) burro's ark. because of all the animals, you see. but there's a reason there's only one of each kind on this ark, and it's because some of these ragtag bunch of misfits should definately not procreate.

b) animal house, because of all the animals, you see. but this is a family channel not the discovery channel, and because of the umm, aahhh, 'content' sometimes.

so help me choose a new name for it. and while we're on the subject of names, as i scan down the list of castaways more than a few choice words come to mind. and i have some great name change options for some of you if you're unhappy, trust me it's funny sh*t. but what really jumps out at me is that every username has an animal nickname, except for burro. now it's all good to poke a little fun at folks, but no bueno if you can't laugh at yourself too. so i need a nickname, it's just not fair i get to be burro and burro.

on a side note, the chinese takeout office lunch run we do on fridays messed up my sushi order and i got something i didn't like so much at twice the cost and i got the dinner plate not the lunch special too. and i never, ever pick my fortune cookie i just go last and take what comes to me. but today i kept staring at the pile and fate was tempting me so i just grabbed the first one. and it had a typo in it. f'ing karma.

anyways, there was other things wrong with it too, but that's how my day went. sometimes you're the hydrant and sometimes the dog. but i feel like karma kicked my *ss all up and down the block like a little terrier, like a scottie.

so here's the weekend update over at burro's ark. or is it animal house?

turtle/amoeba: 0.07
mouse/alevin: 0.20
elephant/birchtree: 0.35
lion/boghie: 0.85
racoon/fwm: (6.59), sharing the wealth
cougar/jpcavin: 0.86
wolf/jth: 1.71, winning!
barricuda/dreamboatannie: 0.05
squirrel/pessoptimist: 0.75
gwasshoppa/realmoneyissues: x.xx, hidden, you're of the list next week.

scotty/burrocrat: 1.14

remember this is a weekly system, the monthly cycles always confuse me.
 
I like the scottie menagerie myself. :D Once I get done with all my time on the road, I'll be more on my game to gain some ground relative to current. My biggest opponent is me, everyone plays their own headgame. :cool:
 
well, no votes for either burro's ark or animal house just yet, and i'm not so sure about manure farm either.

but i did recieve news i'm not scotty. which is good because it must suck to be scotty.

i make a better donkey anyways.
 
and another thing, how, exactly, does a manure farm work?

do you just plant small manure in the spring and and hope it turns into big manure later?

is there even a market for it? and who would buy it anyways?

these are the kind of questions that keep me up at night.
