Trying to Shake a Dour Mood

For those of you who’ve been following me for more than 3 months, you know that I have a proclivity to change moods rapidly. Mrs. Fly likes to chalk it up to astrological nonsense. I like to believe my changeable demeanor permits me to outstrip all of you.

I look at the market and this moron on my television and I can’t help but to envision a gigantic tidal wave washing the new CNBC set away. I am very long Apple and content with its gorilla raping ways. However, almost everyone is sucking Tim Cook’s dick now (extra homo) and I don’t like the sound of that sentiment.

Each and every runaway market is coupled with the biggest jackasses the world has ever known. These people are going to be corrected (extra Delbert Grady) and I’ll be damned if I go down with them. Bear in mind, I don’t have anything tangible to point to, other than the incoherent rants to Bluestar. Everything seems to be okay and my money line is at an all-time high. Perhaps it’s old memories rendering in my mind again, like the time when I walked into work only to have a leather strap whipped across my mouth. Or, how about the time I went to the urinal and someone threw a bowling ball at me? That’s the sort of thing I am trying to avoid.

For a moment, I was tempted to sell out of my top 4 positions, raise a bunch of cash, then go smoke my pipe, brooding, hoping for the planet to be stricken by comets. But then I stopped myself, thinking the new CNBC San Fran bureau wasn’t an omen of end of times, but instead the beginning of decadence.

    “Each and every runaway market is coupled with the biggest jackasses the world has ever known.”

    True. It’s very rewarding to confuse brains with a bull market. Dunces think they’re hot stuff, and so does everyone around them. And people on the teevee are wildly successful at selling stocks, because nothing makes stocks sell better than seeing them go up.

    The thing that’s not easy is to tell when the music will stop playing. Few people are good at that. I can’t imagine it would be any time soon.

    The watch is the stupidest thing I have ever seen them come up with. It doesn’t mean anything what happens the first few weeks, down the line this thing will languish. When you come down to it, Apple has the Mac business (big) and the Iphone business (huge) and that’s it. Everything else including the ipad, apple tv and itunes is on the way down. And who wants to charge their watch every day, anyway?

      Gnat, agreed, the watch will eventually be a loser. Sure a lot of Apple nerds will buy initially, but the everyday American has too fat a finger, and is blind as a bat from staring at their ipad and mac to deal with a 2 inch screen on their wrist.

    Dr Fly – you know what has me in a dour mood? I watched Blue Jasmine last night. You know I love to laugh, and expected to. My exact quote to Auntie at the film’s conclusion: “What the hell was the point of that shit?” I guess I just don’t get it….?

    Fly, based on what I recall from the blog the past couple of years – correct me if I am wrong, you start each year out fantastic then what?

    I don’t like what I see as a rising wedge in the RUT.
