    Let me consult my “Good Night Moon” text for that answer, Bruce…

    Hmmmmmm….

    Ah, here it is:

    There was a comb and a brush,

    And a bowl full of mush,

    And a quiet old lady whispering “hush!”

    BPOE MARKET ALERT: breakdown

    We are in a Turd Hustler Market. 1. Buy extra toilet paper for the next seven weeks. 2. Put on your best Summer shorts and a pair of Crocs. The Crocs are in case you get Turd on your feet before you go home. They are very easy to clean. 3. Eat Uncle Bens rice until Jan. 31st at 2:15ET. This is for good luck!!!
    NOTICE: If you are a [Chuck Wagon] person. You don’t have to buy toilet paper. Change your cloths or eat rice. Just call a broker from a pay phone. Tell the broker to buy some good ultra short ETF’s. Then pick some Turd Blossoms for good luck!!!

    Larry sounds a lot like Gapster.

    I’m not a big fan of biotech these days, but I do own some AMGN in the long term port.

    I’m astounded it’s below $50. WTF, have all their patents been declared worthless?

    Bruce —

    Ominous warning GNM alert.

    After your last post I randomly opened a page and “Goodnight nobody” came up!

    AMGN would be a good buyout for one of the hopeless big pharmas like PFE.

    I’m sorry, but any company that calls itself “Nastech” — I don’t care if they have the cure for bone cancer — deserves to have all its patents nationalized by the Romanian government.

    Looks like all of LAZarus’s mergers and acquisitions patents have been declared invalid.

    Word is “there’s ‘prior art’.”

    HEY SHORTS—

    Is this really the best you can muster?

    Pretty piss-poor is you ask me with futures portending fullbolwn apocalypse.

    If your assjacks can’t mount a better effort than this, you half to know what’s coming next, don’t you?

    Do I hear the sound of tinkling bells in the distanse?

    Going long and short is the way to win. Sometimes you have to let the dogs run. Like FSLR and AAPL.

    Asshat dip… it’s possible this is your first taste of bear.

    The meat is greasy and unlike that of it’s taurean counterpart.

    Greasily, it allows asshat dip buyers to think “phew, that was a close one,” before lodging itself in your lower alimentary tract and causing Crone’s Syndrome-like pain to your portfolio for years to come.

    Let the dip buyer beware.

    The “JJ fade trade” long FSLR, short SWC is working beautifully again today.

    JJ, any other picks? Oh wait… PAL. Wow, looks like a cliff!

    SNY is a still with this pullback in the sector. SNY will break out in the next week or so up to the 58$ range. The fundamentals are just too good in the company. This is a great long term buy.
