The Shoe is on the Other Foot, For Now

For the first time in iBC history, I am requesting you give me a market update. Where I am, there is no such thing as iPhones and normal carriers, only roaming shit that makes the transfer of data cumbersome. My only outlet to information, or a phone, is via the apartment I am renting.

I request the following:

Full market update, not just the bearish stuff CRONKITE has been posting lately. And, I want to hear all of the lovely rumors being purported by the dicksuckers on Twitter.

As for me, I am getting my conch and George Hamilton on. By the time I leave here, people will think I am native. Shit is so expensive out here, you’d think it was exclusive for rich folk only. Oh, wait, it is reserved for rich folk only.

For the day, I shed 2.1%—mostly thanks to DECK and WNR.

    Shares of Dell were down nearly eight percent in after-hours trading after the Texas-based PC maker posted lower-than-expected second-quarter results. Still, the company’s revenue was up one percent over last year, totaling $15.66 billion, compared to $15.5 billion in Q2 2010. Net income jumped 63 percent, from $545 million to $890 million, over the year-ago quarter. Corporate and government orders were responsible for the jump in income, according to an AP report, but new sales predictions hint that orders may not be coming in as often as anticipated. Dell expects modest growth of one to five percent for the full year — citing “a more uncertain demand environment” — compared to previous estimates of five to nine percent growth.

    Everything was fine until the twin terrors Merkel/Sarkozy failed to deliver a 3 trillion euro ESF and had the gall to propose a trading tax!

    Germany and France planning to do that “4th Reich thing”. They want the unelected President of the EU to destroy the notion national sovereignty. In the ass.

      Headline: “Germany, France propose collective ‘government’ for the eurozone led by EU president.”
      In conjunction with noise about the Swiss Franc getting pegged to the Euro;
      The implications = years more bought time before the system collapse.

      The frogs won’t even notice the water heating up. Eh comrade?

    OpEx this week, so I’m assuming there won’t be any low volume melt ups.

    Stay long if we gap over /ES 1202 in the morning. Cancel your plane ticket home if the /NQ gaps below 2175.

    This reminds me of that part of the Livermore biography when he cancels his fishing vacation off the (then very primitive) Florida coast so he can hop a train back to a ticker.

    And you think YOU have information technology problems?

    As requested by Mr. Fly, a stock market update: WebVan and Pets.com announced a merger after hours and both rose about 48%. Mr. Fly. If you are interested I can get you the before merger price as it comes from my inventory.
    WNR announced a 50-1 reverse split after the news hit the wires about “soft” steel being discovered in their normally erect hardened pipeline. Oil is leaking from the pipeline and threatens to destroy the Sky City Indian Casino as well as the International UFO Museum and Research Center in Roswell. WNR plunged after the news.
    DECK also dived in the after hours when it was disclosed that all of their shoes are made by children in sweatshops in Guangdong and Hainan China. DECK denied the charges and said that they were adult Taiwanese midgets.
    If interested in the WebVan and Pets.com purchase please send the money to me at: Bernard Madoff, Chief Legal Counsel, No: 65425, Butner, NC.

    I have done so much traveling in places just like where you are now. I know EXACTLY how it goes. …So common in so many of those places. That is part of the whole scheme…they want you to get into island time..relax bradah….which may not be a bad idea. Some islands are better than others for reception but the more exclusive ones seem to have the worst phone service for data. You are out to dinner in some fabulous restaurant such that you have to wear long pants and closed toed shoes…on and ISLAND for goodness sakes and yet they have lousy smart phone roaming services. It’s much easier to refresh one site and get everything you need than it is to surf the net.

    Europe is going to cold cock these markets once and for all at some point. ESFS isn’t going to be enough, Germans and French bailing while their own boats sinking? LOL. Germany almost zero growth, France at zero, Cramer sputtering about SocGen (we don’t know what we don’t know…), and the rest of the Eurozone a disaster movie waiting for a script.
