Obvious Dukie Conspiracy

ninjaKitten 

Diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeee!!!
______________

Forget about your regular run of the mill “Denningerite-Goldman Sachs” conspiracies, I think there are heavier machinations afoot.  

Let’s take this Old Dominion win over the weurthies (sic) at Golden Domer Land ( that’s “Notre Dame” to you foreign debils).  Obviously someone has spiked the Gatorade in the Southern bracket, as fellow Big East weurthy Villanova needed overtime to dispatch that grab-bag of hirsute and unlaundered ruffians from Robert Morris University (I believe they are the largest providers of “Executive Assistants” in the Western hemisphere).  

No one needs to sniff around long to realize this is all just another  “pad the Duke run” conspiracy, no doubt cooked up by the seminal communist claque at CBS Sports and the villainous Koach Kryszistikanmstlplx of the Permanantly Punched-off Mustachio Society.

As a result of my suspicions, I fear greatly for my Louisville Cardinals, who will play the Bezerkley Cal Bears tomorrow night in their respective Tournament tip off game.   In fact, I have even warned them– via multiple flash texting– to beware the laudanum crystals that will no doubt be sprinkled upon their Soup & Salisbury Steak pre-game meals.    

This would be no coincidence, mind you, as their next opponent is the hated Duke Blue Devils, should both teams advance to the round of 32.   And while the Pukies (sic) are already the beneficiaries of an ill-gained #1 Seed, they will likely take every nefarious precaution short of chain-sawing off the legs of their next opponents and calling it a “freak escalator mishap.”  (And only because they did that last year and don’t want to risk the usual “too coincidental” inquiry). 

I am hoping of course that there is a God in the Heavens who will caffeinate Duke primary opponent Arkansas Pine Bluff’s Cocoa Puffs tomorrow morning and make them the first #16 seed to knock off a #1 in T0urnament history.    The hated Blue Devils are well deserving of the honour (sic).

In stock land, it looks like I got out of the rest of those June $11 Silver Wheaton Corp. (USA) [[SLW]] calls just in time last night ($5.45) , as it seems stocks are finally going to head into a cycle low here, with the PM miners leading the charge.     Of course I kept 30 of the original 240, just for “esses and geegles.”    I also got rid of the final 60 June $40 [[GDX]] calls at $7.55 this morning as well.

Last, I dumped another 1,000 shs of [[AGQ]] at $57.94 at the open this morning.  I retain a final 1,000 shares out of the original 4k. 

I also dumped 8k of the Pacific Capital Bancorp [[PCBC]] at @ $2.19  with my thanks and a promised steak dinner to brother “Rage in the Cage” , who put me onto this neat little fiduciary a couple of weeks back.  I retain 12k shares for the “free cash money” heck of it.

One last peculiarity I will point out, and take it as you will…

 Despite the pullback in PM stocks, the price of gold has held rather well, and the dollar can only hiccup higher over Grecian death rattling ( [[uup]] up about 17 cent today).   Note also, however, that the “King of the Transports,” a.k.a., “The Mighty Big Brown,” United Parcel Service, Inc. [[UPS]] is enjoying a renaissance in price movement it has not seen since before the 2008 “Year of Black Ddeath.”  

Charles Dow calls out to you from the grave, citizens… will ye listen?

      Laudanum was the opiate of choice for the Gilded Age set. Not as easy to get these days… cheaper alternatives.

      Those cock-sure Men of Presence down there in Dukie-land could probably lift some from their grandmother’s purses.

    Sir Jake — Appreciate your good work of late, nicely done.

    Wishing your team well as we March into Madness.

    As my brother is a Kansas grad – I look forward to that Duke loss like no other.

      Kansas has no fears from Duke.

      Ohio State and Syracuse? Maybe.

      I have two brackets … in one Kansas is the winner, in the other, the other “K” team, who is looking monstrous right now.

    Another Big East “timmmberrrrrrr.”
    Fuck yeah, HUSKIES!! West Coast, represent!

    Time to go root for Lehigh (despite picking Kansas to win it all).

        The Huskies only can sell their soul to Satan once. No other explanation for that string of shots that just kept falling towards the later part of the second half.

        Did they sacrifice Ty Willingham’s heart to the Aztec gods?

          I got sucked in by The Hoyas as well. I even picked Notre Dame for a couple wins. Yikes.

          _________

          The Huskies are one of the hottest teams in the country…eight in a row now.
          They’re incredibly streaky, but when they’re clicking they’re an absolute joy to watch. Pondexter was struggling early, but came up huge when it mattered.

          Both teams were shooting lights out, btw…50%+ overall (60%+ on the 3’s).

          Willingham was a bust and he possibly did get the crysknife treatment. Steve Sarkisian/Jake Locker are the new football idols.

              Would be nice if the ‘Zags could see this out comfortably here, maintaining a 10+ point cushion the rest of the way.

              Having said that, I’m sure I just cursed them into a giant collapse…

    Holy crap, the first day of Tourney play has been some of the most fanstastical and exhausting play I’ve ever seen. If the rest of the Tourney is like this, it could be the greatest ever.

    I have the feeling the downward move in base metal miners will be even worse than PMs. They are more tied to the market. Hence, my preparations to short them via HMD on the TSX.

      HMD.TO is on my buy list as well. Also looking at HXD, HOD, and HGD…
      Stopped out of everything this morning – I’m staying at 100% cash until Monday though, see if there’s follow through…

      Very close in the end, my weurthy (sic) opponent.

      If I got you to adopt the Nosferatu avatar again, then I “win” no matter what.

      Yeah, no excuses for the Lou, as they shot like broken armed grandmothers. But when you are playing a West Coast team, and you don’t even START until 10:30 Eastern… that reeks of Pukie conspiracy.

      Ah well, it’s not like I won’t have a chance to continue hating Duke.

      Go Cal Bears!

        Whore-hey needs a haircut…. but I’ll take that little midget with the 94% free throw average any day. Gotta love dudes who are ice on the FT line… they are invaluable.

        Don’t forget to root for that “other” Kentucky team, the Murray State Racers (of SW Kentucky’s Murray), who are battling their cross-border rivals in Butler.

        And of course, Go UK… they are my last greatest hope now…

          Both teams have good shooters, so it should be interesting at least. Hoping for some good “RatFace pissed off” shots.
