            Rosemary Clooney?

            Rosemary Clooney from Maysville Kentucky, you mean?

            Alf, you are truly older than the dirt around your tombstone up there.

            …older than YOU but,

            definitely not as old as you might think !

            Why the obvious obsession with age, Gint ?

            You constantly bring it up as though you are suffering from some sort of “Dorian Gray” complex !

            Give it a rest !!!

            I AM YOUNG !!!

            MAYBE EVEN … YOUNGER THAN YOU !!!

            Because you are constantly bringing up stuff my Mom loves.

            You are probably an old fan of WNEW AM in NY.

    If consumers are splurging, it’s probably based on credit. My great-grandfather owned many grocery stores up until the great depression. He extended credit to his customers and went bankrupt after they couldn’t pay. Credit card offerings have hit a level not seen since boom times recently.

    There is a battle of the stock futures going on tonight.

    We don’t need a huge gap down tomorrow.

    The last hour today kind of revealed who was “swimming naked” (to quote Warren Buffet)

    Volatility is the word of the week.

    Happy Halloweenie everybody!

      Are they just genetically suicidal or are they really that dumb.

    Forecast:

    FCX is going to fill the gap down here around $38.50-40.50, and then run up to $46+ by the end of the year (due to sleazy hedge fund managers and various industrial stock chasers)

    Gold vs. Gold Miners in an unsustainable divergence.

      Probably outperforms, especially given world climate and natural disaster trends

        Not to digress, but FTK has been holding up pretty well on this downturn.

        Feel free to share any thoughts.

        p.s.: GDX a good alternative to FCX, but to watch the bot buying/selling with serious volume of FCX is interesting.

          They (FTK) had a tremendously bullish operations update last week. FTK’s turnaround is still on track. Just a gut feeling (might be gas) but FTK could be a possible take out candidate. I have no real evidence to back this up other than expect consolidation in the industry to continue, until it doesn’t.

          … the ONLY soundtrack music that comes close to this for me … in so far as evoking a feeling that is unmistakable … is the “Jaws” theme !

          Eagerly awaiting a vid implementing the “Jaws” theme !

            Here’s what’s really incredible. John Carpenter not only made that movie on a shoe string ($350,000 total, and he paid Donald Pleasance $20k), but check this… he actually wrote that score himself!

            So, give him the two-fer… not only the scariest movie ever made (IMHO), but also the scariest horror movie music ever composed.

            And that’s John Carpenter… from Bowling Green, Kentucky.

            (Oh, yeah, George Clooney is from Kentucky too).

            (And Johnny Depp)

            (And Tom Cruise)

            (and Ashley Judd)

            (and Buddy Ryan, lol)

            … completely agree !

            But … you forgot ONE GLARING DETAIL (my absent minded Senator)… in your reconstruction of the “John Carpenter Saga” !!!

            He ALSO married Adrienne Barbeau !

            Who had possibly the sweetest breasts I have ever seen !!!

            THERE !

            I said it … and I am sticking to that claim !!!

            Tom Cruise Mapother III and his wife (Tom’s Mom and Dad) were both from L’ville Kaintuck’, which means their son has L’ville blood in him, despite being born in ‘Cuse*.

            He also went to St. Xavier High School in Louisville (rival of Trinity, currently ranked #2 in the country in football).

            Jack Daniels is made by Brown Forman… which is based in….

            Louisville Kentucky.

            Granted, that particular distillery is in Tennessee.

            Their good stuff is made in Kaintuck — Woodford Reserve.

    Flushing a months worth of gains in a couple of sessions… Priceless.

    Then we’ll have more rumors of QE and a bona-fide save the Euro Plan rumor and we go right back up again. There is no way to trade this except getting lucky on timing.

    Since everybody’s making predictions, here’s mine: pappa-g will be forced out in the next week and the euro markets will head down another 20%, Sarkozy will lose his shit, berlusconi will blame the Jews for what happens to Italy after Greece defaults, and US bulls will finally realize markets are correlated even with QE3, which will lead to OWS with ultraviolence, real horosho-like.

    No idea what happens in China, but if FXI drops 50% this Chinch will be rich.
