Anyone else wondering what happened to Blue?
Anyone looking for a "mini-selloff" tomorrow for tax reasons?
Schwab does
Computer manipulation - pure and simple. And, unfortunately, it's perfectly legal.
Never ever doubt RiskyChick - she is ALWAYS around. :)
I don't think it's breaking new highs until it breaks $5.44, right?
Obit: I am not a lawyer but I work in one of the 10 largest law firms in the world; have for the past 30 years. You are ONE cool writer - you write (and think?) like a lawyer. You don't have to answer this, but, just curious, ARE you a lawyer?
I was able to do just that. I use Schwab. BUT, that was back in the day when I didn't know what I know now. I NEVER put in market orders for ANYTHING - always use a "limit".
I'm not counting my blessings; I am counting my $$$$$$.
Was wondering where you'd been - Christmas shopping?
Anyway, I'd be surprised (pleasantly) if this went to $2.90 today. When is the last time it went up MORE than .10-.11 in one day? Been a while. This has been a typical pattern for the past few weeks. MMs kick it up a dime in the a.m. then take 'er back down. I hope I'm wrong.
From Chinatown: "She's my mother . . . She's my sister . . . my mother . . . my sister
Sooner the better. I promised you that malt ($800; not $500) and I keep my word. But as soon as you light up that cigar, I'm leaving the room.
Funning for sure. I've never been to Vegas (always wanted to) been to Atlantic City one time and enjoyed it a lot (the kitsch part). But if FNMA gets out of conservatorship, I'll be in Vegas, assuming the date & time works for me.
PUHLEESE - everybody loosen up here. When detearing announces his party date and time, do you REALLY think he would mind ANYBODY who has benefitted showing up? Come on. My only point was that if you can't afford to attend, then don't. I would personally like to meet MH as well as anybody else who has benefitted. But I would warn MH to come into the Wynn with body armor on. :)
Come on Tipcupx - the list is for fun and fun only. From my point of view the list is for the peeps who want to go to Vegas and meet Detearing at the Wynn. If you can't afford it, then you don't go. And if you are holding just a few shares then you can't afford it. Do the math.
Yep - BUT that's what bothers me about today's "run." Why the run up with NO news? We've seen this happen before, then the MMs come in and sell off at EOD.
When/if this hits $30 AND is out of conservatorship, I'll be on the next flight to Vegas.
I don't remember Detearing saying what the price should be WHEN we do have the party. I think somewhere between $5-10 should do it. Besides, I already promised him a drink.
Are they green and in the shape of $$$???
Uh, we ALL are when it's going up!!!
Right on conspiracy theories: Like LBJ had Kennedy shot by the guy on the grassy knoll. LOL
Is the Senate in session now? Are they voting shortly?
Sherlock Holmes & Watson would do better
investigated by whom? Politicians - who are owned by the Hedge Funds? You gotta be kidding.
Wasn't there news? The Senate is expected to confirm the new guy tomorrow. Isn't that news?
"In detachment lies the wisdom of uncertainty... in the wisdom of uncertainty lies the freedom from our past, from the known, which is the prison of past conditioning.
And in our willingness to step into the unknown, the field of all possibilities, we surrender ourselves to the creative mind that orchestrates the dance of the universe."
So, did the creative mind put Nelson Mandela in jail for 27 years?
Did the creative mind influence the Nazis to kill 7 million people?
Did the creative mind start the inquisition?
Or does the creative mind just do good things?
Words like the above 2 paragraphs leave my jaw dropping, but only for a second, then I start laughing.
Of course it is not SO; I was attempting a little humor.
But, on the other hand, what you said isn't SO either.
No offense but that stuff sounds like a cross between Dr. Phil and Oprah.
Agree - nitpicky, but, alas, I agree.
However, just because our president has not said it, doesn't mean he does NOT want to eliminate FnF. I base that on my blanket statement about ALL politicians: "they are ALL liars, cheats and thieves"
I'm reading a terrific biography now of LBJ (by Robert Caro) and he was one of the greatest liars of all time.
Hey Buck: Don't fart around with MH with facts. Like him or hate him, he does his homework.
Sorry - I don't consider being down 1 penny slip-siding away (although I love that song).
Does the phrase "you gotta pay to play" come to mind?
While in the main, I still think this is news driven, I would NEVER argue against Risky Chick's charting ability.
Well, I'd like to prolong this discussion with members on the board. I've been in since May and this subject has been rather ubiquitously discussed here. If "Paula" is correct, then Buffet is wrong. Someone has be right and wrong here, eh?
Anyone else care to chime in WITH FACTS?
What? I speak English.
From the buffett article (below). This is what worries me and other common stock holders on this board.
"The common shareholders are going to get nothing until the Treasury gets paid back and even then, as I understand it, the Treasury is getting a warrant at a nominal sum for 79.9% of the resulting common. So assuming there is anything left for the common four or five years down the road, the Treasury will get 80% of it," Buffett said.
"I would have insisted on something like really an 80% interest in a nominal price to get in there in case the common did have value at some point and then I would have insisted on priorities over the common or preferred," he added.
You think Elvis has some FnF shares? Rumor has it he's looking for another home in Memphis.
No can do this month. I was thinking about buying you the drink when all the longs meet at the Wynn.
Bank it my friend:
I see my name now; out of alpha order; but I'm okay with that.
I'll print out right now your post and it will be in my pocket at the Wynn
General question to all:
Anyone know what's happened to RiskyChick? I miss her "GAP" posts; as well as her sense of humor.
