So We Gave a Little Back

This isn’t anything to run away from. There aren’t boogeymen (sp?) under your desks. It’s natural for man to fear, stockpile on rations, then lash out and kill his neighbors. We are a paranoid species; but a benevolent one–in the big scheme of things.

I remain stoic in my opinion that we are living through a renaissance of innovation, a period of great enlightenment, that will be reflected upon for thousands of years. They will point to this period of time, the merger between man and artificial intelligence, helped by computers, as the beginning of an era that ushered in ever-lasting gains in productivity and improvements in quality of life.

From medicine to the camera on your head, you are fortunate to be living now, so quit bitching and seeing the worst in things.

We are going, the fuck, higher.

    In a recent moment of “early morning insomnia” … “The Fl”y wrote  …

    “So why haven’t I strictly adhered to the teachings of The PPT algorithms? It’s the mystery of my life. It confounds me on a daily basis …

    … It’s not your standard, run of the mill, mean reversion tool.  It is robust, accurate, and invaluable …

    … It is my greatest achievement and my biggest detriment wrapped up in one. It’s so hard to remove oneself from the art of stock picking. It’s an addiction that addles me. It calls my name at night. It speaks to me in the day. I know my life would be far better off making macro-calls, using this and ETFs to accomplish my goals. But it’s hard, real hard, to just give up the pipe. I need one more hit. One more parade down the canyon of heroes, then I am done.”

    I believe that is a rare glimpse … 

    An honest, momentary concession of a character flaw and a vulnerability seldom if ever seen … 

    It reads almost like an epitaph !!!

    To me … it was real … very real !!!

      Crazy, that post sticks with me too.

      As a side note, the steers and queers are gallivanting around Green Bay this weekend full of false bravado. I hope your stay is miserable.

    The question is WHAT? Goes the fuck higher. Sure every Dow stock could go to 300 or 500 or 1000. But that seems retarded and unlikely. If it was that easy the markets would never go down. Rotations while the market goes nowhere or even eats shit would appear the most likely.

    Cheap gas is the helicopter drop that we needed. Never mind a few incompetent companies losing their shirts. That pales in comparison to the money drop to the US companies shipping your stupid amazon products to your doorstep. And as I said before, OPEC is impotent.

      Your helicopter just imploded the first boom this country has had in years. None of this is really complicated. Jobs come from the boom of the day. When the housing market imploded did amazon products thrive? Hope you optimists are right. The crippling of a major American industry is a good thing.
