Are you fucking kidding me?

I am at work here in the financial district in Chicago, headed out to grab a 35 foot long sub for lunch, and I walk smack into a sea of teachers.  Screaming non-sense about not getting paid enough and how they don’t want to have longer school days.  I look to my colleague and say “are you fucking kidding me?”  What kind of teacher ditches teaching the kids to argue for more money?

They are inside the Freddie Fannie building next door chanting about their mortgages and homeless people.  I don’t know what is going on.  They need to shut the fuck up and go back to work.

I saw signs that are showing their dislike for Rahm, and the need for more art programs.  I am not usually one to get up in arms about this foolish bullshit, unions do crazy shit all the time. However, when they leave the kids stranded to go about trying to maximize personal gain, they have crossed a line.

While these teachers are hitting bongos and chanting, the people who care are trying to help the students.  The CTA is giving all students free rides because they are displaced an must find somewhere to go.  Libraries are opening their doors to try and accommodate the students until their parents can get them later today. Students are also getting free meals at their schools, and are being “encouraged” to active reading and writing.  I am embarrassed to be from Chicago at this point, and will punch one in their throat on my way out, for the kids of course.

Long my REIT’s, sold PPHM early this morning.

 

 

Science!

I have been pondering this play for many-a-moon, and decided late last week to gamble in.  With earnings on Monday morning (slow jerk), and an announcement of their research progress tomorrow afternoon (swift, yet gentle jerk), I bought in to some shares of PPHM.

With most of my positions green and a good amount of cash, why not?

Cheers folks.

Long REIT’s Long weekend

This god damn market makes no sense to anyone. It looks like an EKG from an African Tiger that just did bath salts.  That’s that shit I don’t like (yes, Chief Keef).  I am sitting on some REITs collecting some cash and waiting.

Check out-

TWO, NYMT, CMO, NLY and CXS.

Just a few things I like (no, Chief Keef)
