Imagine Yourself on the Equator

You’re watching American television, with rabbit ears affixed, trying to glean some American culture from the novelas. You see people with iPhones and wonder what it’s like to own one. After a siesta and subsequent armed robbery, you head out to the market to see what’s for sale.

BEHOLD: The “iFON”!
Verykool_i315_12

What sort of iPhone is it? The clerk shoots back: “it is a Very Kool IFON, señor. Here, take a look. They make it in red now.” Suspicious of the new wares in the local market, you run to the cafe and ask the owner if you could use his computer to view the internet. After dialing up, you see that the Very Kool phone is indeed made in California. It is an authentic “iFON.”

All of you friends and wives are jealous of your new status, as an owner of a luxurious American product. They too run over to their bodegas to buy “the iFon”, with the hopes of being able to look like the rich people on the television. It worked! You are now rich and people respect you, as you walk down the barrio with a brand new “Very Kool” phone, painted cherry red, upon your elaborate ear.

NOTE: I added to my IFON position.

    A+ number one! Muy bien! Time to watch Scarface and dream about the day I, too, come to America and get enough cash for a Tesla and indoor plumbing.

    What do you think of mid quality retailers like JWN or KATE for ladies looking to impress their friends with $5 leopard skin wares and phony jewelry?

    Fly, bought more IFON at 4.22 level during the afternoon sell off. I am very heavy into this name. Looks like it wants to run. Excellent day trading stock although I have only been adding to my long hold. Thank you
