Happy Hallow’s Eve

It was a busy day at the Grande Druid lodge — sacrificial rituals abound and bloodlines emblazoned with the ceremonies of the spirits.

All that aside, my pork shoulder cooked inside a pumpkin ended in unmanaged disaster. It fucking imploded and exploded, blackened by an oven set too hot — meat squeezed and juiced inside of boiling cider, producing a flavor worthy of hell.  To provide sustenance, I ventured off to the local pizzeria and bought chicken parm, garlic knots, and a pizza pie.

I washed it all down, mind you, with some Chimay.

Futures are higher; but don’t expect a very strong open tomorrow. You might get a -50 NASDAQ before dips are bought. If we get a dip buying opportunity and it sticks, watch out. We’re liable to head higher by another 666 Nasdaq points from present prices.

I intend to sell my positions next week and then attempt to time the downturn, which will probably fail and end up in stop losses and resumption of me buying stocks again. Are we really seriously considering a bear market? It’s possible the hesitation is due to the elections. Perhaps after the elections we’ll get some clarity and a sense of normalcy.

Either way, the only logical position now, following a horrid October, is to be long.
