Wildy Awake

I woke up to the sound of my alarm, playing Bach. Immediately, I threw my music device across the room, onto a chair, in preparation for the afternoon ahead.

As I prepared to sit down, with plunger of Earl grey tea besides me, honey and milk, never any sugar, Mrs. Fly rudely interrupted me with news of immediate departure.

To make a long story short, I am drivin Miss Daisy now, unable to complete God’s will, having me at the computer, banking coin like a criminal with a sawed off shotgun inside a Citibank vault.

Okay, that was a bad analogy.

Regrettably, I am writing today off as “day non grata” and will pursue my efforts tomorrow with renewed determination and zeal.

By the looks of it, the market isn’t interested in trading lower. Quite bizarre.

    Let me guess. You’ll arrive tomorrow refreshed and bearing news that you sold all your CPST shortly before it tanked by today.

      Have I ever exhibited such behavior?

      If so, please point me to a specific post where I said I did something, after the fact, and I will send you $1,000.

      CPST could go to zero tomorrow and it would only mean 5% from my aum.

          I bought CPST today at the LOD. If Fly is holding this, I can sleep well tonight. The only time I got screwqed by following FLY was buying DMND … and I got stopped out. But I guess fly never puts stops on his trades.

        So what you are saying is … you are well aware of said health benefits to tea?

            Well then I think you know where I’m going with this …

            When are you getting back on Creatine?

            Where do you think this whole health kick came from?

            He’d be drinking bourbon right now if only the doc would tell him it would lower his BP.

            That is probably a good plan, except for scheduled physicals. I would go to a good hospital for anything requiring immediate attention.

            Since you have wealth, the following point may not matter to you: I have decided my primary physician is essentially working for the insurance company. There is no doctor-patient confidentiality. Every thing I say to the doctor is sent to the insurance company for review in a manner to screw me over for their profit. Even if I say something crazy “there is an avocado growing in my stomach” it will be reported and noted.
            For a wealthy person this may not be a problem, but for a middle class person it is a disaster.

      Studies from groups associated with the medical field are prone to proving whatever the sponsoring contractor said they wanted to find.

        I am skeptical of medical field reports; but if one were to take the attitude about nutrition, well, they’d eat like a slob all day long, thinking all of the research and medical advancement over the past 100 years was bullshit.

        In short, you’re an idiot.

          If on the other hand, instead of relying on tested and reliable long term data, you jump on to every yuppie fad that comes over the lintels….

          You’re no question a very very smart man.

            Such as avoiding meats laden with ecoli or red meat in general?

            Or, perhaps moderating my caffeine intake is over reaching?

            Pray tell me, Godfather of nutrition, where do I go wrong?

    DMND fires their CEO and CFO.

    Is this relevant or has everyone sold?
