The first word that came to mind was pandering, but after looking it up in online an online dictionary and thesaraus i think that carries too negative a connotation.

I prefer to give my contributions directly to the girl, that's why i trade mainly in tsp or inexpensive online brokerages, besides you got enough pie already, don't need a cut of mine or her's.

good music though, this things about to start rockin, waiting for a break to tap in.

I can smell it too. Sounds like you've been to the Roundup. Yes?

 

[Birchtree]

What you both smell is the fear from bear scatology. I'm smelling the heavy scent of superlative bull manure because a stampede is gathering strength.

 

[WorkFE]

Thanks for slapping me back into reality BT

Yeah, the herd gathers when a Predator is at hand also, like maybe a Bear...:nuts:

The Pendelton Roundup? not lately. but this ain't my first rodeo cowgirl.

I don't care so much which way the herd stampedes, just so long as i'm not in the way.

One man's scat is another man's treasure. there's always buyers and sellers. i smell the bull too, just waiting for the sale to start before he takes off running.

 

[burrocrat]

hooo weee, now that's the open i was lookin for.

nothing like a strong wind in your face and spray in the teeth, bring it.

 

[burrocrat]

New allocation: 25G, 15F, 15C, 15S, 30F.

This might be all we get.

 

[burrocrat]

l'd like to see a good fight here, climbing back up near yesterday's close. lets' form a base for the new trading channel, consolidate sideways for a while after that, swing traders get ready.

 

[burrocrat]

new allocation: 0G, 0F, 50C, 25S, 25I.

buy the dips.

 

[burrocrat]

ouch.

again.

that's gonna leave a mark.

Hey man,

I really enjoyed getting to know you. You've got a lot of style man, seriously and you're smart and express yourself very well. When someone can do that with a 'good sense of humor' it's wonderful.

Anyway, would love to see you interact with others -- especially on the Progressives Thread

Well have a good one ~~ and don't sweat it ~~ most of us got majorly clobbered last Jan -- but wound up doing pretty good

Anyway -- would really enjoy watching you tangle with some of the others .... don't be too hard on em' though

Later man

 

[burrocrat]

thanks for the invite steady.

i try to restrain myself because i often get caught up in my own selfish view of reality, but sometimes i just can't help it, like when buster posts a lamp or airbag photo.

all in good fun, none of us if perfect, but sometimes i just gotta call bull**** when i see it, the meter pegs redline over in that thread quite often.

i was gonna edit out the cusswords to read 'superlative bull manure' and post it in birchtree's thread at some point, but i'm a little behind.

better than being a big behind i guess.

careful what you ask for i guess, we didn't consolidate sideways at the new high levels, but we certainly retraced to the previous channel levels.

unfortunately i had all my chips in before we got there. i still think we could be range bound with a bit of volatility, hopefully stepping up as we go.

we'll see what happens, i hope we hold these levels for a bit. it's tough to trade with only two IFT's but at least it's predicatable and doesn't get the heart rate going too fast that way.

there's been a lot bearish pressure the last week but i think the markets have held up well considering. nobody's yelling 'fire' just yet, but a lot of folks milling around the exits not sure which direction they want to go.

i wonder what news, speach, event will drive the herd.

 

[burrocrat]

wheeee!

i just realized, no matter how hard i grip the 'oh rahm' bars on this rollercoaster, my knuckles don't get any whiter.

what a ride, i wonder how long it's going to last, too late to bail now.

 

[Boghie]

Yippppeeeee.....

I haven't had this much fun since October 2008!!!

Actually, not quite the same. This entire downturn happened in one day during October 2008 and March 2009.

Might have to spend a very expensive IFT to bail out if things get much worse.

But, you have to be able to handle 3% or 4% drops. The market has done worse.

 

[burrocrat]

hoooo weeee!

now that's a brisk headwind. is -3% all you got? come on!

let it blow, knock my tent flat.

s'ok, i can sleep in the bushes and eat roots and berries too.
