May You And Your Family Have An Eventful Black Friday

We all know Thanksgiving is nothing more than a mere Hors d’oeuvre for the main course: BLACK FRIDAY.

We endeavor to save money by spending less. We might miss the Thanksgiving festivities in favour of waiting on a frozen roped line outside of Best Buy, clamoring in piggish fashion for deals. After all, where else might we find 10-20 even 30% discounts on all of our favorite items? The thriftiness of the Black Friday speaks to the great character of our nation, a country whose number one goal is cost cutting, whether it be through a national healthcare plan, defense spending or even by the actions by the Federal Reserve.

PERHAPS PARTAKE IN A CELEBRATORY GAME OF ‘KNOCK-OUT’, WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY, ON YOUR WAY TO THE STORES THIS FRIDAY?

Gentlemen,

The Turkey Gods are present at the New York Stock Exchange today. BEWARE of your shortsales, for they will be tossed into the desk of the Gods, boiler room style. We’re going up today and again on Friday, even though the nation will be busy helping out our local retailers “go black.”

    The people responsible for stores opening on Thanksgiving should be force fed turkey and have their livers eaten by geese.

    Dr. Fly, don’t you see a commonality between the swell in the Black Friday phenomenon and the rise in welfare/food stamps, unemployment rolls, and disability scammers? These folks wont be attending the workplace on Friday like a proper ham & egger should.

    I won’t be shopping this Thanksgiving.
    I’ll be too busy eating my peas.

    Q4 been berry berry good to me. Looks like 2013 will be a nice bounce back after my route in 2012. Exceeded my overall financial planning targets, but i do believe I underperformed a straight buy and hold approach by a bit.

    Tough year to beat buy and hold.
