Steadygain's Account Talk

[Birchtree]

Now is the time to keep that confidence level high while this temporary storm passes. I've been dealing with these adolescent hedge fund managers for several years now and they are all essentially immature and move in a herd instinct. Wait until they move in force to get back in - then you'll see a buying spike panic that will send the VIX into the cellar.

 

[Steadygain]

I wish things were better between you and some of the other mb members right now, but things are what they are.

Things are far better than I realized -- way better.

When I was a young child I seriously don't believe you could have found a more loving person anywhere in the whole world. I totally believed in GOD and everything good. I had a sweetness and a gentleness and a thrist for LIFE that was simply unbelievable. With this I set out expecting nothing but beauty and I was so honored and thrilled to display all the beauty I could possibly give.

And someone came to me exactly as he did; but it was my first exposure and I was totally unprepared. Just as he sent me a PM introducing himself and showing some vulnerablity - so too he wanted to be my friend. Well how could I deny something like that? I honestly don't believe you could have found anyone more open to friendship (and all things good and beautiful) than me. Even at a young age there were some people that lived to destory - and there is no way I could have known that. No one could have opened their heart and life more than me -- I in all sincereity deeply believe this.

But he did NOT want my friendship - it was all a trick to get me to believe and trust - so he could tear me apart and insult me and treat me like dirt and hurt me as deeply as I've ever known pain could possibly be. It was through these experiences I learned to shut down any possibility of further damage. So the walls that surrounded my heart were so thick and so strong that nothing could possibly damage it. They have remained reinforced over and over throughout my life. It is all I have known and I've known it for so long that I didn't even know the walls were still there.

Well - for the very first time - the walls are starting to vanish and with that I am coming to feel things - LIFE and BEAUTY - I had never known before.

But I could not deny a friendship from someone who went out of their way to request it the way he did - and when I checked he was still there. But I had no idea he had removed me as a friend until this morning - so things should be a lot better. That gave me the freedom to remove him and I will use the 'ignore list' for the first time.

Don't worry about me (trying to use your color ) and the other mb members - I absolutely promise you there is no way possible the BEAUTY - LIFE - LOVE - and all things wonderful can be stopped.

Thanks for the thoughts.

Thanks Burrocrat !

Everything is good -- and I hope all is well with you.


I would describe this week in the MARKETS as a very refreshing swim. When I fist dove in the pool the water was cold. (It was a steeper drop than I expected - but once the initial shock wore off then things were fine). Having the confidence I do in the MARKETS has made it a pleasurable experience and all the more -- the thrill of buying at lower prices. :toung:

Well it's off to lunch -- Have a great weekend everyone !!

 

[Steadygain]

Well I'd say our hopes of dropping below 10,000 are fading away.


But don't give up hope -- there's always next week.

I'm still searching the horizon for Dow 12,000 before the end of May. This gift horse potential will be bought by those who cherish opportunity - and making money.

Numbers 352 - 374
Please move to G Fund so I can take my rightful place.

I think 11,000 remains the MARK for now -- and anything above or below are simply fluctuations. My guess is -- as fast as it's going down it will likely go back up with the same speed.

I never have a clue when payday is -- but today would have been a great day to BUY.

The bigger part of me feels the current action is going to put a lot of people in FEAR -- and they'll be too scared to BUY and miss out.

Anyway -- I expect it to remain at 11,000 even if for a week and then zoom up to 12,000 before the timid have the balls to move.

Have a great weekend Birch. Oh BTW --- I lost over $500 today

The beautiful white sand beaches of Alabama gave forth a beauty that made the onlookers sense a 'purity' that even surpassed snow. All the more with the backdrop of the Gulf.

Now 'Nature' is playing tricks with us. It looks like little pieces of 'bark' are scattering these beautiful beaches - but when you reach down to touch it -- it's OIL.

These golf ball sized pieces of bark are just the beginning. Lifetime favorite swimming places will disappear.

Imagine some hurricane sucking the water up and dumping it for hours and hours as far up at TN.

Well - I expect millions will be upset, frustrated, and angry.

Maybe I simply care too much. Maybe it's better to let it all go and realize that I am totally powerless to stop the inevitable.

Well -- happy trading everyone !!

 

[Steadygain]

Days like this are VERY RARE !!

To be fully invested when the MARKETS are making the greatest gains they've made in ages is absolutely wonderful.

Well I will make over $500 dollars today so I am grateful.


In the end -- it's how much you have in your account whan all is said and done -- so I will press on for the years to come.


Have a great day everyone -- and to all who are IN - congratulations.

Hi Steady,

What a great day yesterday to be 'In'. I bought some shares the other day when the Market hit it's lowest point and am In to Win.

Prices seem to be going up today so, that's great news.

Hope you're doing well...

Your friend, Blue

 

[Steadygain]

Sorry it's taken so long to get here -- but Tuesdays are swamped.

That's man - I feel the same for you.

knock, knock, may i come in?

Steady my friend, i have to tell you i think you have it all wrong, but you can have it any way you want it. I won't defend or justify anyone else's motivations, i only speak for myself, but again, i think you have it all wrong, the people you describe are not the ones i know.

i respect folks for standing up for what they believe in, even if it is not my way, and that is quite a stand you've taken there. what kind of reaction were you hoping for?

for the record, i don't find you disturbing, although i've no doubt your are at times quite disturbed.

hey, whatta ya say we get together this weekend, we could gather up a bunch of crap in the morning, spend all afternoon throwing it at each other, then we would both smell like it all night?

the giver only controls the intention of the gift, the recipient decides how to accept it.

i can only assure you, under no circumstances are chokecherries for a journey given trivially or with deciet. how the shaman judges your preparations when you present your pipe for the fourth time is entirely between you and the spirit.

Burrocrat - You are always welcome!!

I have immensely enjoyed your intelligence and very amazing communication skills. You've always come across as very solid and very for real.

I sincerely appologize for allowing you to lose credibilty at a moment of unexpected weakness and surprize.

You're a great guy! A very great one!


Well thanks all !!!

A brief look at the Markets reflects a good $50 to $100 day so far.

"I have been cleaning up the Conservative Groups discussions and posts trying to get rid of the poison. The fires got to big and it's my job to put them out and promote peace and fairness. I PMed every member of the Group and they agreed that things were getting out of hand and something had to be done. People tend to say mean and nasty things when they are in the middle of an argument."

This made my eyes water up Norm. It's got to be the most beautiful message I could imagine. Then I'll take CB off the ignore list and we'll put everything behind us and let it all go.

I hope you can help me to stop the animosities and move on.

I only had a problem with 'one' - and in every story I've ever written he's one of the greatest characters. So things are good!

Thank You !!

You know we are all good people, this is a new start.

Amen brother !! Something we all need.

I was looking at your posts, to be fair and didn't find anything (YET) that require deletion, but I"m still looking.

Feel free to clean up anything from me.

If you think there is something we should get rid of let me know.

I think all of us simply need to let go of anything 'negative' and find the friendships and excellent quality we can share with one another.
Thanks Steady, we will work this out!
Norman

Thank You !!

Thank you darling Friend -- I'm doing great.

Blackrock and JPMorgan top analysists both see the Markets moving FORWARD. Volitility will linger on but I can handle that.

I hope you mean 'last week' Would have been an excellent buy.

I've got a few accounts (Bonds and Lower Risk) -- that I'll switch over towards higher risk.

Try not to focus too much on the day to day -- look at the Big Picture and the Underlying dynamics -- and ignore the 'hype' - especially the 'doom and gloom stuff'

Thanks for the visit ! - -Always a pleasure.

Yes - That's when I bought - the day of the 000 error or whatever 'that' was.

Alright

You're welcome and likewise - Blue

Well friends, unlike my older brother, I did not have the deep confidence that everything leading to the Recession would be able to somehow get better and the world could move on.

So ~ in my unknowing and hugely emotional driven state ~ I stayed out of the MARKETS for so long it was hard to get back in tune.

I can't help but 'believe' that so much of what transpired with the MARKETS was manipulated ~ and that's something that really threw me off ~ kind of made me feel I'd lost my touch.

TODAY - is a new day - and I do have HOPE of a good future and I have overwhelming confidence that the MARKETS will pay off and look forward for the years to come.

Will remain 30/70 - C/S for awhile.

I'm in no hurry at all -- but if the I Fund would indeed prove to be a fast rising FUND then I will adjust to maximize my returns.

I hope this doesn't sound 'braggin' :embarrest: - but I'll make another $500 from the looks of things.

 

[WorkFE]

When the euro hits about 1.00 then the I fund might get me to take a bigger bite.

 

[Steadygain]

Last week I hurt so deeply -- that I hurt everywhere -- I mean I hurt as much as a woman can hurt and in that moment I had no doubt that anyone associated with the one who hurt me would equally prey upon me.

He probably didn't even mean for that to happen ~ and I simply was in the wrong moment and let things way too deep.

Those feelings were so strong and went so high that only NOW - am I melting down from that - and I realize how very wrong it was of me to associate anyone else with the one who hurt me. So now I feel like a total idiot.

When I'm really hurt my defenses are so strong that once they kick in it's hard for me to see what is real and what isn't. So I made a big mistake.

I hope we can end it here and put everything behind us.

Goodnight all.

Put WHAT behind us.

Take a deep breath. Have a good evening.

I'm out of town this week, little chance to check in here. Saw what was happening the other day right as I was headed out of town, was feeling pretty concerned how things seemed to be unravelling. Today I see how Burro and Norm pitched in to help calm things down. Well done, both of you. and Steady, I'm really really glad you're able to look at things a little differently today than you were the other day. I know its got to feel better too. I think you were probably right when you said the person you were most troubled about, didn't even mean for you to take things the way did. From what I know of that guy, anyway. Anyway, big sigh of relief on my end. Thank you Norm. Really.
