Penguin here missed out on all the fun. I am watching closely now for a move though. Almost went to the F fund today on a whim. I've spent too much time in the igloo. Time to shake my tail feathers.
 
ark update. well, i was waiting for a major low tide but the planets didn't align. others are looking for a high, but it seems the moon is just sloshing things around in slack water.

alevin/mouse, 4, 0.34%, g, mercury (it's poison).
amoeba/hare, 3, 3.77%, g, mercury.
birchtree/elephant, 5, 3.79%, mix, jupiter (king of sky and lightining). i had a girlfriend named sky one time she had one blue and one brown eye and also i had a cat named lightning, they both ran off on me.
bmnevue/penguin, 2, 10.19%, g, earth (grounded).
boghie/lion, 4, 4.67%, mix, venus (he's really a lover not a fighter).

** you know i should be uranus but you can't say that here. also saturn god of capital, wealth, agriculture, liberation, and time, but i don't have much of any of those so that ain't going to work and i always hated those cars anyhow. i'm just sticking with earth and going to watch the milkway go around. until i get my 2 trades back next month. then i'm going to be mars, no wait jupiter! or, or, screw it, who am i kidding?
 
i know, i know. but it's been awhile and they finally turned my electricity back on so i've been watching the tv. i can't believe some of the crap they show these days. my mom would've washed my mouth out with soap. i only got to watch the disney show on sundays after lawrence welk, and she would jump up and run over and twist the dial whenever a hygiene product commercial came on. the dial only went to 13. it was a different world.

JB, I was a big fan of JB, Blues Bros. (still am I guess) Love their music! My brother and I have even done a few "Soul Man" routines as Jake & Elwood. Probably the most memorable was when he & I rode a motorcycle in a local high school and into gym for a Soul Man routine during intermission of the High School Beauty Pageant.

ps. We didn't get invited back haha!!!
 
OK, confession time. Forgive me father, for I have.. oh wait, I'm Jewish, never mind.

I entered an IFT to the S fund today. Real World I've been in it for a couple months, but forgot to do the TSPTalk IFT, so I waited until it was around the level of where I got in. It's been a long and painful wait. So the Kangaroo is in S.

OK, I feel better now that I got that off my chest.

happy hannaukau my friend.
 
happy labor day everyone. i got to thinking about labor, of all things, and what causes it. now i've only seen labor once, and it didn't look all that easy, but i'm a dad so you love 'em no matter what. then i got to thinking about this market that just won't go down, it keeps bouncing back, like rubber. which, coincidentally, got me thinking about, well condoms, i'm sure there's a connection in there somewhere. did you know they have all kinds of reviews and charts and techniques for figuring out which one to choose? but no matter how you do it, it all comes down to just 3 choices: snugger, standard, or magnum. now i never thought about it before, but maybe improper fit is what causes labor? it's odd how life comes and goes in circles.

alevin/mouse, 5, 0.40%, g, snugger.
amoeba/hare, 5, 1.70%, g, snugger.
birchtree/elephant, 5, 4.48%, mix, magnum.
bmnevue/penguin, 3, 10.26%, g, snugger.
boghie/lion, 3, 5.22%, mix, standard.
burrocrat/donkey, 1, 5.98%, g, snugger.
fwm/racoon, 10, (-5.79%), s, magnum.
jonfresno/kangarooo, 10, 3.09%, s, magnum.
jpcavin/cougar, 5, 7.01%, mix, standard.
jth/wolf, 10, 8.87%, s, magnum.
mrbowl/owl, 7, 2.76% mix, magnum.
pessoptimist/squirrel, 5, 6.32%, mix, standard.
whipsaw/hawk, 1, 2.74%, g, snugger.

el vira = 70-65 = 5/65 = 8%.

so lots of folks went from 'who, l'il ole me?' to 'balls out'. that should be a positive signal right? slow down, not so fast, there is a contrarion play here. this market just keeps bouncing back, but be careful out there kids, sometimes rubber break.
 
Going to try to do the risk thang today or tomorrow. It's kinda a mess to do. Kinda manual.
