Corepuncher's Account Talk

[Birchtree]

If you happen to be a member of the at risk bunch in this country you may be in luck for a reduction on your mortgage payments. Remember the Donkey congress is in charge and they initiated this special treatment to begin with to support opportunity in at risk neighborhoods and it was Bernanke that ruined this plan with 17 interest rate hikes. It's all about politics.

Congrats CP, I didn't have enough faith to fully jump in. Less risk, less money made. I think I will make my 1.25%/month goal again this month. 15% a year and retire in 8.

Yikes, both Corepuncher and ATCJeff are grillin hot dogs in the G fund for the rest of the month. They must believe that September is going to be the worst month for investments. That's just the opportunity I need to apply my venturi effect to build a blow by on my way to a clandestine meeting with my favorite Sugar.

Good luck Birch. I'll end the month real close to 2%. I'll take it every month. I will not change my strategy because of the 2 IFT limit. Though it did cross my mind I would be on the lilly pad til October.

 

[Corepuncher]

Asia down over 2% tonight. Also check out the head and shoulder pattern (shows up good in DOW)...suggesting we easily break the July low.

CP,
The 5:00 A.M. weather report estimates the track for IKE going into southern Texas. If so, does it hit the oil platforms? Less damage?

If it hits south of Corpus Christi, it hits about nothing. North of there, there is much more to hit.

 

[airlift]

Thanks!

First of all. CP that view of you and ATC grilling is too much. :laugh: LOL Good laugh to start the day.
Anyway! If Ike stays on track for southern Texas the central planning area would fall inside the northeast quadrant which is the most dangerous.

May the force be with us.

Corepuncher,

I just want you to know that moderator ChemEng may have tried to set you up as a perpetrator of a negative reputation points administered to me. You can check back on your post #587 dated 8/23/08 to see what transpired. Point on the scales in the upper right hand corner to read the comments - could I be wrong? I think he may be abusing his role as moderator with too many prejudicial biases. Only moderators can deliver negative reputation points - but why try to do it on an anonymous basis rather than taking ownership.

 

[Steadygain]

Birch,
Now I understand; you're very sensitive and you're seeing this wholly from a subjective point of view.

Please believe NONE OF US CARE what someone had to say about you and none of us are swayed by a Moderator or a Non-Moderator.

Birch - all of us know you and my feelings towards you are grounded in me and have long developed over time. All of us are that way. Each of us sees you - knows you - understands you - in our own independent light.

So chill my friend - honestly just let "these comments" roll down the river 'BECAUSE THEY DON'T MEAN A THING' - except to you - but no one else cares Birch so don't let it drag you down.

Brichtree, don't worry about it, no one can see your Rep by clicking on the scales icon except you and Tom, no big deal I gave myself some badrep the other day for being UGLY to a Member!!:worried:
