Quick Observation

It’s ridiculous that the market is closed today. I don’t get it, frankly. Because Xmas landed on a Sunday, the market must close on Monday, so everyone could go out and buy more DECK boots? If that’s the case, then I am game. As a matter of fact, I believe Woodshedder is at his confederate mall buying a 5th pair.

In summary, I miss seeing my fucking stocks bounce around like a fucking pinball machine. I can’t wait until tomorrow, ohhhhh goody.

Meanwhile, reservations for a 3 star Michelin restaurant have been booked.

Good day to you.

NOTE: A little FYI for you. Prices for 12631 are going up on 1/1/12. If you’ve been on the fence about joining the very top shelf of intra-day trading services on the web, I highly recommend you lock in these low rates while they last. I know that sounds like a slapchop informercial, but it’s true. Anyone who locks in rates prior to the New Year will keep those rates, indefinitely, providing they keep up an active membership. Also, it’s worth mentioning, 12631 membership is only open to PPT members, due to the frequent usage of The PPT algorithms inside the service.

    Sir Fly, in your previous post – “If there is anything to be extracted from X-mas, aside from presents, it is to appreciate the limited time we have with loved ones. I knows it sounds very cliche and I’m not into that sort of thing. But, if you are busy like I am, you know how special a few days of blissful peace is with the kids.”

    And in this, the very next post – “It’s ridiculous that the market is closed today. I don’t get it, frankly…..In summary, I miss seeing my fucking stocks bounce around like a fucking pinball machine. I can’t wait until tomorrow, ohhhhh goody.”

    I guess two days of blissful peace with the kids, was enough. 8)

    Hey Fly, also, I know its not in your radar right now but do you have any thoughts to share on SPWR with TOT taking an additional 6% stake in them Friday? Seems like a decent longer term play, yeah?

    Fckuing Occupy bums all ova he’e. Go’damm bull sheez, got it, but I tell ya, the weather is outstanding.

    Looks like the market may break resistance as overall currencies are “quietly” rising against the USD.

    Also, a WSJ article pointed out that “the word” is no interest policy decisions until 2014 (translation, continued weakening).

      Three is the highest Michelin rating. It’s not like Siskel & Ebert, fer Christmas’ sake.

      For my part, I have just made a reservation at my local Pep Boys to have some new Michelin snow tires put on the SUV.

        Jake – if you’re serious about the tires, I saved $200 on the Michelins for my wife’s CTX by buying the tires at tirerack.com, having them shipped to NTB for install. BTW – this was $200 cheaper than the actual quote from NTB for the same tires.

        If you were just making a funny – then nevermind 🙂

        Snow tires are not necessary in KY and it borders on the inane.

          A note to the humorless: The above was an attempt at a jape.

          But thanks for the tire buying tip. $200 could take care of the wine bill at a Michelin 3-star.

        Of course you are absolutely right about the stars. My bad for commenting in a bizarre moment of idiocy.

    Question on Posting Videos to the blogs:

    I’ve found the instructions below on how to post videos to these wordpress blogs, but they don’t seem to work.

    I’ve tried both the youtube URL and the embed versions with the [youtube=video] tags.

    any ideas?

    Thanks

      It’s bracket then “youtube:” then the URL then a space, then “450,” then space, then “300” then final closing bracket.

      That should do it.

    John Paulson Advantage Plus down over 52% through mid-December. One of the most disastrous performances in hedge fund history. What a buffoon.

      Yeah, he’s probably crying all the way to the banque and back.

      It’s like making fun of the Pittsburgh Steelers because they’re running out fingers to put Superbowl rings on….

        If you were being ironic, my apologies. Just wanted you to recognize how poorly making deprecating comments about outrageously successful people reflects upon the commentator.

          Good point Jake… I bet he had to get by on only like 2-3 billion or so in income for the year. What a goof!

          I wasn’t being ironic. He is a buffoon. Losing 52% on a fund of that size and in such a short period of time shows complete recklessness and a total failure of risk management. So yes, he qualifies as a buffoon in my eyes despite his vast amounts of wealth and past success.

    what’s not to get? we rich people needed a travel day to get home – we don’t spend Christmas under a domestic tree or at this place you keep talking about…a mall? But the skiing was divine in Kitsbuhel and the Sunday service at the charming snow capped gothic church in the village was filled with the sounds of medieval carols played on mandolins and recorders sung by a boy’s choir. Heaven. And oh yes. We all wear custom made ski boots here by Dale with our triple ply cashmere sweaters..cheers!
