Well I am back from my afternoon rendezvous at Whole Foods Market, Inc. [[WFMI]] . I spent nearly $500 on just over 4 paper bags filled with “delightful delectables.”  Since I’ve been away, the market has gone down, then up, only to go back down again aka “the circle jerk.” Despite my favor, POSCO (ADR) [[PKX]] is being poleaxed. The sheer destruction in the metals is like watching two drunk drivers crash into each other, with boxes of dynamite in their respective trunks. Nevertheless, I remain steadfast in my “longship.”

There is an absurd amount of snow on the ground vis a vie GLOBAL WARMING, a problem that will only get worse. On this news, I like rock salt maker Compass Minerals International, Inc. [[CMP]] . If it was up to me, I’d drop large quantities of rock salt on the polar ice caps, in order to melt those (mother)fuckers down, just because it’s cool (pun intended).

Expect morons to control the tape into the bell. Today “should” have been a big up day. However, for some reason, the robots at Goldman Sachs are angry and refuse to jack the markets higher. So, for now, we’re stuck with a retail dominated tape.

NONETHELESS, I still like SandRidge Energy Inc. [[SD]] , Flotek Industries, Inc. [[FTK]] , POSCO (ADR) [[PKX]] , Ctrip.com International, Ltd. (ADR) [[CTRP]] , United States Steel Corporation [[X]] and Nucor Corporation [[NUE]] .

    Wait till they declare the next ice age upon us; then we’ll be in for some global warming. Human contributed climate change is the issue, due to changing the infrastructure of the planet from mining, construction, damming, deforestation, concreting over arable land, carbon emissions which means weather volatility/extremes, more earthquakes, storms, tsunamis, volcanoes, and other assorted pleasantries.

    With a global population of about 7.6 billion and growing, these cause & effect issues won’t be going away…. unless we make laws preventing morons, degenerates, irresponsibles, the underage & immature, from breeding, like rats.

    Going by the very long range historical averages for selling stampedes, this market has another 8 trading sessions +/- a few of being not kind (not necessarily unkind, just not kind) to the longs.

    My only child died from bone cancer 2 weeks ago. He was a wonderful soul. We spoke of global warming. I never portrayed my thoughts of the bullshit that exists with the so called “global warming.” Right before he passed we laid on the lawn looking at the sky and he told his mama that everything changes. He said, mama mother nature heals herself……. she will find a way to breath………
    I acknowledged with a smile…..he passed 7 hours later……….
