An Overview of the Market, via The PPT
Remember, The PPT is a program developed by space alien magicians, in order to enrich a small subset of lucky humans. It does operate under the handicap or advantage of human emotions, unlike Senor Tropicana. Often times, I fuck myself by not listening to the darn thing (FTK). On the other hand, The PPT spits on most penny stocks. Therefore, if I operated exclusively like a homo robot (no offense to heterosexual robots), I’d miss out on a plethora of “dead cat bounce” trades, which have enriched my current accounts a great deal over the last 3 weeks. In my opinion, a blend of both mechanical (hetero robot) and human intuition is the optimal trading disposition for me. Truth be told, I am still adjusting.
At any rate, here are some useful data points, all thanks and praise to the high IQ’d men over at The PPT.

I remember when I was buying citi beteen 35-50. I had 20 percent of one acount in that one stock. It begin to fall and I never could get back underneath it, as it fell to 20 and stopped. I should of cut of my loses and didn’t, as I have held it and now it’s at 3. I learned a valuable lesson with this one. Never invest to much in one stock and sometimes you have to cut your loses. Know when to hold um.. and know when to run. 
wood has DIN for a momo, u have it short. interesting. i predict it will go flat like a pancake.

The reason for being a perma-bear – - until the palaces burn, the manipulation washed away, the gulity pay and true law and order is once again fairly established.
As The Palaces Burn
The fiends have gagged a generation of pacified fools
Bound by our greed a nation enslaved as corporate tools.
Arise and raze the legacy of their lies
To realize that this in itself is an ascension
Towards the day we revolt.
As the seeds you’ve cast away take hold
War will be born.
Rejoice, the age of the fall has begun
We’ll dance as the palaces burn.
A shot gun blast into the face of deceit
You’ll gain your just reward.
We’ll not rest until the purge is complete
You will reap what you’ve sown.
My redemption lies in your demise.
In such a world as this does one dare to think for himself?
The paradox of power and peace will destroy itself
To know the truth and live in fear of no man.
To realize that this in itself is an ascension
Toward the day we revolt.
As the seeds you’ve cast away take hold
War will be born.
Rejoice, the age of the fall has begun
We’ll dance as the palaces burn.
My redemption lies in your demise.
Rejoice, the age of the fall has begun.
We’ll dance as the palaces burn.

How about this one People will understand and it’s in the bible..
God so loved the world he gave his only begotten son that whosoever beleive in him shall not parish but have eternal life. God did not send his son to condemn the world, but to save it. John 3:16
Bait Bucket- try to keep up. DIN was stopped out the same day I entered it.

A prominent economist says the bottom has been reached per the moving average of initial unemployment claims – this average has apparently bottomed and marked the bottom of the last several recessions. Add in the ECRI opinion that the bottom has been attained and the fact that this whole debacle was about credit and leverage and housing bubble and the rest of the economy never was that bad. OK, the oil price did kinda get out of hand and the auto companies meltdown is a pain.
