I turned off my monitor. I can’t stand to watch this carnage. The market is down like 30, yet I am off nearly 3%. God save me if the market trades down heavy today. I might lose it all.
I’m over here racking my marbles, trying to discern the mood. Clearly, we are in a risk off environment. Under the surface, momentum names are being clubbed to death, continuing the Friday death trap. For the most part, I escaped the tragedy that struck Wall Street on Friday, sashaying (no homo) throughout the day unscathed. But Mother Market, the bitch that she is, has made certain that Senor Tropicana “pay his fair share” today.
What would you have me do, sit here and watch this crap? Am I supposed to react and sell everything to save my hide?
I don’t think so.
Real men accept the sword in their stomach, without complaining about the pain, blood or prospect of living. Real men take the good with the bad and accept drawbacks as “the cost of doing business and aspiring for greatness.”
A great man once said “no balls, no babies.” Well, to that end, I am having mines boxed around like a speed bag this morning.

Drink a protein shake (no soy).
Yeah, to hell with that soy crap. I’m gonna head to the gym and attempt to give myself a hernia.
That’s the spirit. Deadlifts and squats release the most HGH (no Bonds).
Today is chest and arms day.
Same here. My monitor shut down due to extreme over-use of red pixels, and I’m off to the gym.
Back in the dot com crash days, I used to change downticks from red to green, just to put myself in a better mood.
Monday is “national chest day” in the gym. I always hit legs on Monday, nobody wants to train legs to start the week.
same here. monday is squats.
makes no god damned difference what day you do legs, as long as it gets done.
i prefer to finish my workout in under 90 mins. Monday, like the cajun said, is national chest day. You can see it from the parking lot with the larger volume of bro-dozers.
Had the Hernia surgery 6 weeks ago today.
You are better off wishing for a couple of root canals.

I LIKE TOUGHNESS
i’m getting beaten up today pretty good, but my aapl calls are like the punch that first cut Drago in rocky 4.
or the one that merc’d Apollo Creed.
(Rocky should’ve thrown in the towel)
ah, man. 🙁
Eat your peas
Maybe we will see when the government shut down gets resolved
Perverted clowns on tricycles herding the market towards the cliff
Oops I meant *politicians
Perverted clowns on politicians?
I was going to ask why perverted clowns would ride such, but I realized that the answer was evident in the question.
Joining the clown circus here with damage in perennial biotech losers like DVAX and AMRN.
At least GERN and SRPT are up smartly. Mother Market must know I don’t own them.
The market, like nature, can be a real mother-shut-yo’mouth, but when it comes to talkin’ ’bout the shaft, it’s regression to the mean that’s the real bitch.
wow…u type well w/ ur monitor off, that’s gotta be hard to do, I’m impressed, lol
thx
as the world turns.
