Why, What a Wonderful Day!

I am very happy to be sitting on the sidelines, like a pile of rusted metal, waiting for an explosion to happen. As long as GOGO goes higher, I am somewhat content, as it is a 15% position. The other 10% of my holdings is wrapped up in a bunch of olde man stocks, like CHD, WM, AAPL and FB.

But nothing irks me more than YELP. Do not discuss it in these halls and never mention it to me in person if you value the continuity of your jaw.

Today is a celebration of resilience. We were down and now we’re up. But remember, all of these good feelings can change to dark matter blowing up around your testicles, should tomorrow’s jobs numbers suck marble balls.

    except bad news could be good news again jobs wise, though I tend to think there’s no string of numbers possible to derail Ms. Taper

    it may suck marble balls even if the numbers are good, either way could be a double negative,…….
    #’s bad= market drug addict has convulsions/seizures and massive mi
    #’s good= market realizes taper must continue+ China+Argentina+Puerto rico= market is initially ambivalent but eventually complains of Gi upset, rolls over, pukes over everyone and shits the bed,…
    any other options/opinions ?

    Do you, really, want things to keep going up if Hillary gets in?

    Really want that for 4 yrs? Let the bear start and at least give the anti-Hillary a shot

    I suspect $10 doesn’t mean much more to me than to Señor Fly, but yesterday when I was asked to cough that up for a 90 minute GOGO session on an SFO-SEA flight, I passed. First time; I’m a confirmed in-flight internet addict, but what was reflexive at $7.95 became a decision at $10. Just an observation.

      Your definitely not an addict then. An addict would have been hawking the carpets like a owl to scratch up the extra 2 bucks.

        Very good point; “addict” was a poor word choice. Let’s change that to “aficionado.”

          Could it perhaps be the fact that the price was increased and not so much the absolute dollar amount? In other words, if the prior cost was $5.95 and they raised it to $7.95, might you have made the same decision that you did when it was raised to $10 from $7.95??

            $10 is horrible marketing…don’t they know that…$9.99 is where it’s at.

            No, I absorbed that 5.95/6.95/7.95 increase cycle, but when the cost rises above the level of the ripoff service in European airports, I start thinking twice.

      I’m a miser. The flight would have to be pretty long for me to consider $10….

    VALE this has traded well. Any interest in the emerging markets? If anything is trying to washout it is the EEM.

    Fly, I would love to hear a more simple man’s speech. You know for the masses. Keep your top picks few and stay with them! Keep your market antenna tuned in and let us plebs know what you are thinking instead of trying to make for net neutrality entertainment. So you are in GOGO and a few others. You think we have a little more upside but after a few more +handles another flush? I think you should do a direct trading service. I would PAY BIG!
