The Market

My portfolio got a happy boost today. Yours?

Well, I don't remember wht happened on the 1st. Was that the day that EJ spiked? I think so. Well, yeah, I rode that one. But UA has been pretty lackluster for me and I just got into IRBT and it's ALREADY down 15% on me. I expected that it had bottomed already. I love this company. Everyone that sees my Roomba in action goes bananas and swears they're gonna get one. And I bet most do! Plus, even Costco carries Roombas now. I just DON'T get what's up with this fucking stock! Granted, their military robots are a pretty big part of their business and they lost a good size contract some months back. Maybe even a year ago. That should definitely be priced in long ago. This stock may become my version of your SIRI. Heheheheh... Also, my damn oil puts have been proving another mistake. I've been having trouble making money on options lately. I'm pretty much hanging about even. Lol, I guess I should feel thankful as most people that do out-of-the-money options typically lose 100%. But, well, I'm not most people and I only buy options when I see REAL swing potential. Oh well...

How's everything with you, darlin'? I am moving out of my apartment as we speak and in with LMG. Starting a new phase of my life. Things have been so different since I met her. She just might be "the one."

We just got a new refrigerator yesterday and it's SSSSSSOOOOOOOOO much nicer and better than the piece of rubbish that she's had since she moved in. Her landlord is a cheap, lazy bastard.

Aaannnddd, we may be moving to Hilo in the near future. Possibly. Very much up in the air.

Hilo huh? That shit town you hate so much? My favoritest town on Earth? Uh, huh.

And you gotta be careful around me, I have that "finding the one" effect on people. I'me going to another wedding in two weeks, winky, winky.

CISG is my current top performer, and it's carrying things for now. I'm still 20% down from the market cluster that began in November, but that's better than the V 39% it was.

We'll see what today brings, markets just opened half an hour ago.

if xon mobile has gone up
and made me any money

have had to raid it repeatedly to pay monthly bills
and make a "loan" of fifteen hunny to a former close friend/lover
who has since moved on
and amputated me

addition by subtraction

If you had asked either on of us who isn't you, we would have told you to run.

I care about you Pat, very much, I think Steven does too. And since we're the only ones here, and there's no going backwards,

Hell, I have nothing to say right now.

I'm sorry.

almost there fufters

7 is more like a distant uncle

really good to see him when he does come around
but, ya never know when that's gonna be

don't make 'em a bad guy, just not
oh hell, i have nothing to say right now

i hardly think y'all restrained yer speech

or how can i make sure it ain't same today
paddyboy

I don't know.

Aw, youse guys...

Pat, really sorry to hear about the shitty news. What can really be said other than "oh well..."

Howdy, fluffy.

Sorry to be such a distant uncle right now, but LMG and I have a moving truck for a few more hours and gotta make use of it. More movin' in shit. Ack! Has anyone ever told you that moving SUCKS?!?! Well, it sure does...

Aloha, kidz. See ya soon.

I just noticed Wax's age as 33. HA! Yeah... to what power???

Oh yeah. Moving sucks.

But it's a great way to lose a few pounds and beef up a little.

You know, that's what I thought. Ironically, despite busting my ass and sweating like a pig several days this past week, I've GAINED 3 pounds in the past week!!! Gotta be cuz I've been hitting BK and Jack In The Box for my "nourishment." I could not believe the scale last night. I was pissed!

Orrrr, you gained three pound of muscle. It's possible.

Lol... If only it was that easy! Heheheheheh, that would have changed my bodybuilding days big-time!

Ok question. China Cement. You think it has a chance of going somewhere? It's very shaky but a necessary commodity, as it were, to China.

Darlin', I must admit that I don't even know the stock you are talking about. I can't even find a ticker symbol online. Fill me in.

Obviously, I'm gonna LOVE the construction sector in China. Particularly materials and equipment. BUT... those are broad sectors. Individual companies are a whole other story...

Sorry about SIRI, by the way...

You know, it's been so long since i wrote that, i don't even know what i was talking about.

Lol, well, I was not able to find a symbol for them. Chinese market is off over half from its high. COULD be nearing the time to get back into China. I LOVE them long-term. It was just a valuation issue. And now that's it's backed off 50%, lookin' tasty. I expect commodity prices to fall back sharply. Including oil. That will be GREAT for Chinese production and export. And Chinese consumption too.

So, darling, help me find the right Chinese names.

I haven't been looking at them for many weeks. The two I have are either down 12% or BE and constant. I've been holding that the Olympics will be the defining moment, as the World visits and sees how hard China has been working to bring in foreign business. If they get their pollution controls up to snuff, China will have gold rush like no one has ever seen before. Everyone who isn't there already, will be going to China.

China's already the de facto spot to do business, doll. In case you haven't noticed...

You'll be happy to know that I'm gonna sink in that SIRI boat with you now. I got in at $1.60 yesterday. Now it's at $1.46. Already down 8.75% in a day. And I bought $1,250,000 worth! Lol, jk. I only got a 1/4 of my typical portfolio weighting for a single stock. Even though it's relatively peanuts, 8.75% in a day fucking sucks. Unfortunately I'm getting all too used to it nowadays... FUCK!

Check out Vestas (VWDRY). Google the company and read. I like 'em. I am fully weighted in 'em now. If it drops 10% I'll get more. If not, I'll be riding this one for awhile. Lol. Now that I've said this, you know it's gonna tumble to the bowels of the earth!

Don't dispair, between the Olympics, the election and the normal October boost, you can clean up.

I wonder if you got my fnm message?

It's been an awefully happy week over here.

Lol. Gambler...

Wouldn't it be funny, if the "bad news" for shareholders concerning FNM and FRE is bogus? Wouldn't it be just hillarious if the Big Institutions were deliberately trying to scare the price down,to create and easy score of low price and greater availablility? Wouldn't that just bloody make sense on the higher level?

They've only put the two corps. in Conservatorship, not Receivership, a vital difference.

BUY SIRI! Heheheheh, remember that? Now find me those Chinese stocks!!! It's getting right about that time to buy!

I have no cash and no access to any right now. That's my lot. I never have mony when I need it to make more. I'm not allowed to have money in this lifetime. I must have been a rich and serious bitch in my last life to deserve being treated like this.
