Wow, so many commentators that were full on bullish 2 days ago are "the sky is falling" bearish... dang

Maybe that's a good sign

Doesn't take much to flutter the ungrounded, this is where folks tend to zig when they should zag, the crowd...

Don't fight the tape.

Don't fight the tape.

The tape says we're going down short term, long term we are still in a bull market... gotcha

Well, thanks to today I am back positive for the year, barely... Lots of bad decisions, so I hope the rest of the 10 months I do better.

Have a Blessed week-end everyone!!

Man dubbed nation's top deadbeat dad admits owing $1.2 million | Fox News

No, I am not the best at math, but here is my attempt.

He owes 1.2 million to 3 children so that is $400,000 each. Has been in arrears since 2002 (so I will use 10 years to simplify the math).

$400,000/10 years = $40,000/year (per kid)
$40,000/12 months = $3,333/month (per kid)

So, he owes $10,000 a month in child support AND what is in arrears... Can anyone sans a billionaire meet that obligation? I don't EVER want to get a divorce in NY cause this guy got SCREWED.

Now, don't get me wrong, he owes his kids support, but am I missing something here... this seems a little... um, high???

Bartender says she was fired for warning police about drunk driver | Fox News

What message does this send???

Oh, BTW, if he would have killed anyone, she would have been held liable... really...

Another good reason to not join the American Legion. Mic Hubbard, you Sir, are an idiot.

Bartenders are prohibited from serving an intoxicated person and could be held liable for any crash or injury that results, though.

Uncle Sam might want women, too

Wow, for once, I agree with Rep Rangel...

S_Fund is down at 52, so maybe with members moving out and back into the market, the top 10 will be people who actually do IFTs...

Thanks for stopping by BT, maybe some of your BS (Bullish Sentiment) will help the market

 

[RealMoneyIssues]

Well, well, well...

So far today it looks like yesterdays losses might be erased today... Come on Big Ben, say something stupid so I can get a good buy in on Friday!!!

He spaketh, and the markets moved.

Downward.

That's sort of like a double negative isn't it RMI? So I've edited your sentence to correct it ... "Come on Big Ben, say something ... so I can get a good buy in on Friday!!!" Or maybe that should just be "say anything".

All the major indexes started sliding just as soon as he opened his mouth!
