Thinking about just buying some stock. LOL! Throwing $100 at each and see what happens. I'll either lose the $200 completely or potentially can make $1000 very quickly. Worth the risk, IMO.
Edit - 100 shares of each. Let's see what happens. Hehehe
Man, where do you think GOOG is heading? You have any plays on that?

The Sept. 130 have so little time and so far out the money, no movement yet but me thinks IBM has a lot more to grow this week. IMO, of course.
Let's see what happens here. I wonder if they're about to announce another share buy back program.
Congratulations!

I guess I'll find out soon. LOL!
Anyone have puts on these two from Friday? I wonder what those options will be worth today.
Masta, you have stated here that you thought of the 500 million in the bank (on SPR, he stated 8 or 900 million but...) as Rufus meaning a "line of credit."
I did a little digging and found this (Just wanted to add some clarity):

Dimmy;
Lets play for a moment!
-where's the 10k?
The same place it was a week ago, but now it has 1.4 B in Pressed and 8-K Assets added.
-where's the mysterious 500 million in cash?
The same place it was a week ago in the bank in Europe
-didn't you insinuate over and over that this would all be a quick process that will be over by end of july/early august? Was those statements exaggerated or ill-informed?
Lets call it process delayed
-Where is the $15/share
Its not $15 any more it is $54 now
-have you honored your verbal agreement to pay a shareholder $15/July 31st yet
-will you also do good by txprincess?
Txprincess was told that I will guarantee her the price at reset. If she sold then she took a dumb azzzzsss advice and not the CEO’s.
-Are all these subs really subs? Are we going to see some of them suddenly disappear now that ALLEGEDLY, some are stating they have had nothing to do with you in a year since you failed, AGAIN, to provide funding? How does one accidentally forget what are their subs and not subs?
But of course, how about some facts, give to me in writing that a sub said they have nothing to do with CSHD and I will see to it.
-what is the name of the trust and where is it located that has bought up the shares
The same place it was a week ago, wait you will see that soon enough.
-so many more questions...
So much more web to spin
GODSPEED

If by Paul, you mean "Rufus" and he told you exactly what Frank posted, then maybe Frank's post isn't true.
If by Paul, you mean "Rufus" and he told you the direct opposite of what Frank posted, then history says that Frank's post is true.

Thanks man!
VFC was upgraded. The options generally don't have much liquidity but the stock should touch $90 or close and come back down to the $70's. I'm currently watching and looking for an entry into some puts.
For tomorrow, may buy some Calls if it pulls back any.
You think the Euro is losing strength? I noticed the dollar gaining on it lately. Thoughts?
I agree. He'll end up selling notes for the phantom company. Create some fake ventures again. After that, go after a public shell in which Rufus will NOT be an officer and take money from more investors that way. Today's bag holders will simply take it up the a$$ and blame other forces other than Rufus for their bad decision making skills. IMO, of course. LOL!
This removes the risk of him being wrong. If Rufus shows or not, he can say "I am convinced this was his plan all along. God Bless."
The one that is under investigation for having fraudulent information?
LOL! That's a good place to look if the deal was "solid."
LOL! Thanks for that.
Every time the court pushes the case to closure, H2 always says, "I feel confidant that the X court was where Rufus has been headed all along."
As if Rufus is the one directing the case. LOL!

ISSUES & SOLUTIONS
QUESTION: What are issues and recommendations for solutions that are unique to Muslim Americans?
1. A Law against harrassment of a Muslim women wearing Hijab at the Airport, DMV and other public arenas.
2. Institute a Law to allow Muslim Employees to take a hours off from work for Friday Jummah Prayer.
3. Make the 2 Eid's, recognized National Holidays on Calendars with days off from work.
4. Optional Halal meals in federal buildiings, public schools and colleges.
5. Provide prayer areas suitable for Salah and Jummah, in public and private facilities. (i.e. Malls, Airports, Universities and government buildings.)
6. Organize a Muslim American group to assist in recommendations for US foreign policy affecting majority Muslim countries.
http://muslimsforobama08.com/issues.html
Yeah, no hypocrisy there. LOL! Throw in a little ACLU "NO ACTION" on Muslims trying to integrate Islamic laws into public sources like public swimming pools and schools and you have... HYPOCRISY.
Teapeebubbles... You were saying? LOL!
For you pollsters out there. Sylvester will not like this. LOL!
Obama's bounce smaller than others David Paul Kuhn
Mon Sep 1, 10:38 PM ET
Barack Obama’s post-Democratic National Convention bounce in the polls appears to be slightly smaller than the norm of past conventions, and it's gradually depreciating.
The Gallup daily tracking poll has found that since the conclusion of the convention, Obama has risen 4 percentage points in the polls, to lead McCain 49 percent to 43 percent today. That's a slightly smaller uptick in the polls than the 5- to 6-point bounce earned by a typical party nominee, by Gallup’s measure, since 1964. Obama and McCain were evenly split at 45 percentage points apiece prior to the Democratic convention, according to Gallup.
Come on guys. You really didn't think you could put a Muslim, ultra-left candidate out there and get them in did you?
I'm still trying to figure out what votes Obama was supposed to get outside those that Democrats already get. LOL!
Excellent point:
"Am fascinated with Palin, though, as she is the closest thing to a common, real person in our national political scene in awhile."
There's not one person on this board that hasn't uttered the phrase, "I wish we could get a common, real person in our national political scene."

I think I'll see if I can make a few bones having some "Religious Left" bumper stickers made up. LOL!
Well, since you said it, I'm convinced.
Now can I convince you that GW is Muslim?
LOL!
FWIW, I don't care what Obama says his religion is. It's his actions that speak. And he sure is getting a lot of Islamic support. We know how they feel about christians.

I've almost forgotten the Jewish population that votes primarily Democratic.
I wonder what they think of having a Muslim President?
I guess we have two extremes:
http://jewsforobama.blogspot.com/
http://jewagainstobama.wordpress.com/
LOL! But what this tells me is that here's another group (besides the southern Democrats) that are divided over a Muslim Presidency.
It's not that he's Muslim, IMO. It's who he has supported and where a lot of his support comes from that bothers me. Also, it bothers me that the ACLU won't take issue with Islamic integration into tax payer, public places whereas they jump on other religions.
You don't have a problem with a Muslim taking the Presidency, who's supported Odinga in Kenya? A President supported by the ACLU (they won't say they support anyone but a gander at their site tells you all you need to know http://blog.aclu.org/2008/03/21/the-discussion-on-race-doesnt-end-with-obama/); a group that is for the separation of church and state for all religions except Islam?
If you support Obama, you CAN NEVER AGAIN complain about the "religious right."
Liberals, meet your "religious left."
Time for christian lawyers to start their own group like the ACLU to fight Islamic integration into our country's political correctness cycle.
Hey, ACLU, why do you care so much about this guy? There's plenty of folks wanting to enter the U.S. for various reasons but you focused on a Muslim. I wonder why?
http://www.aclu.org/safefree/exclusion/33328prs20071220.html
That's why the mainstream will shy away from Obama. People who don't read will vote partyline and the already Democratic base of Blacks will vote due to his color.
The rest of us will recognize where Obama's support is coming from and vote accordingly for McCain. Liberals want separation of church and state yet will vote for Obama? If they had the courage of their convictions, they'd be voting for an Independent.
I'm not a big fan of religion but here's something that's scary and shows a liberal hypocrisy:
http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=21597
"For the past forty years the ACLU has used every legal machination to make the display of Christmas trees illegal if placed in a public institution or on property where there is even the remotest connection to a tax dollar. They’ve bludgeoned America with their claim that such displays violate the separation of church and state. The display of the Ten Commandments? Illegal, they say. Prayer in school? Prohibited, they charge. The mere mention of God at a graduation ceremony --- grounds for a law suit. The display of a Menorah -- the next morning the ACLU is at the court steps already litigating."
Further down...
"So when the University of Michigan decided to fund $25,000 worth of ritual foot-washers for Islamic students wishing to pray, one assumed the ACLU would yell foul. After all, it is a public institution, receiving federal and state taxes and using that money for a religious device whose purpose is to facilitate prayer. Not only did the ACLU not object but it also supported the expenditure as “reasonable,” something it can never bring itself to say when activities are for Judeo-Christian expression or symbols.
The Byron Union school district in California has decided that its public schools should set aside days and assignments where all students choose a Muslim name, recite passages from the Koran, and periodically give up certain comforts as “forms of fasting” that correspond to Ramadan. Has the ACLU brought this school district to court as it has hundreds of times when schools simply mention something involving Christianity or when a student reads her own Bible on her own time at recess or when a student chooses a religious theme for an essay topic? The ACLU has been silent. To the ACLU, the non-invasive, mere presence of anything Christian in school is far more “dangerous” than the actual, coerced undertaking of Islamic religious activities and beliefs in America's public schools."
And further down...
"Why does this organization with the high-sounding, patriotic name have as its purpose the destruction of the Judeo-Christian, American belief system? It was founded by Roger Baldwin, an avowed communist, who knew that what prevents America from being taken over by communism are precisely its Judeo-Christian beliefs. A religious society will not give its allegiance to the state but to God only. It will support only that form of government that subscribes to In God We Trust, not one rooted in atheism, as is the communist state.
It was Baldwin who remarked how "America must follow the example of Stalin's Soviet Union where greater freedoms exist than anywhere else in the world". Baldwin is dead, reunited with his patron saint Marx in the non-spiritual unknown where all dead communist believers congregate. But in the mid 60s, his organization was taken over by a caste of privileged elites who, though not economic communists per se, are heirs to his anti-Americanism and his goal of transforming America by using our own legal system to marginalize and demonize our Judeo-Christian ethos, undermine our penchant for local control, and eviscerate the traditions and values that have made America unique and thereby beyond the clutch of socialism.
The ACLU is led today by cultural marxists who will partner with Islamic forces if by so doing it can bring about legal decisions that demoralize the believing Christian community and sap their will to fight for their heritage. More so, in pushing Islam on the rest of us by granting them special rights not allowed the rest of society, the cultural and public face of America will change, be transformed. A transformed America, one no longer sure of who it is and what it is allowed to believe and express, is one so confused and weakened that it looses its will. That’s what the ACLU wants."
Time to kill Islam as it tries to integrate with American politics. Eradicate it from the Western hemisphere. Glory be to Allah if his lies can be contained in the minds of blood thirsty extremists killing women and supporting terrorists.

Newsweek Exclusive: Top Clinton Supporter John Coale Endorses McCain
John Coale, a prominent Washington lawyer, husband of Fox TV host Greta Van Susteren and a supporter of Sen. Hillary Clinton, announced today that he was supporting John McCain for president. Coale, who traveled with Sen. Clinton, President Clinton and her family through out the primary season, complained of sexism, and said the Democratic Party is "being taken over by the moveon.org types" in an exclusive interview with Newsweek.com's Tammy Haddad. He said he tried to prevent Clinton's brother, Tony Rodham, from attending an August 18th meeting in Scranton, Pa. with McCain campaign surrogate Carly Fiorina. "I urged him not to go and told him it would embarrass his sister, but he has a mind of his own." Coale says Mr. Rodham asked Ms. Fiorina "about McCain's Supreme Court picks."
This is only the beginning, folks. The extreme left got what they wanted. But mainstream Americans will reject it in 2008, much to the liberal's dismay.

I'm feeling sorry for Obama now days. He's actually had to calm the extreme left on rumors of Palin's daughter's pregnancy with a call to stand down(http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0908/Obama_on_Palin.html?showall) and now the great Rev. Wright posts another great quote:
"TOLEDO, Ohio - The Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama's fiery ex-pastor, re-emerged yesterday with a crude reference about race and sex in the White House.
"This ordinary boy [Obama] just might be the first president in the history of the United States to have a black woman sleeping at 1600 Pennsylvania legally," Wright said, referring to Michelle Obama, in a sermon at the Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church in Houston.
It was unclear whether Wright was making a reference to prostitution, to old miscegenation laws, or to the history of illicit interracial sex under slavery."
http://www.nypost.com/seven/09012008/news/nationalnews/rev__strikes_again_126984.htm
LOL! That says a lot about the extreme left's friends and simplifies why McCain/Palin will win the 2008 elections.
Are you kidding me? You think that's a "bad" thing? People LOVE Independents. Many on this board consider themselves Independents. Republicans and Democrats alike consider themselves "Independents" a lot of times.
And of course Alaska's "Alaskan Independence Party" will have the motto "Alaska First". They are a local, organized effort to bring back their State's rights and vote for succession just like Texas did. Who cares?
I'll wager if you took a poll on this very board, you'll find that most here would love to see more powers brought back to the State level.
It's good that we may have someone in the White House that has a focus on States rights and reducing the reach of the Federal government. The only folks that don't want that are non-achievers and bed wetters feeling sorry for said non-achievers.
LOL! Of course not. Funding OBL to fight your enemies for you the same way we did with Stalin in WWII isn't even close to supporting an Islamic extremist in their country months before said extremists resorts to slaughtering the opposing tribe members.
So, No. You failed logic 101 with that post.
GREAT POINT, Sylvster. You've done a great job of pointing out clearly where Obama's support rests as compared to the Western regions. LOL!
Odinga - Muslim extremist promoting violence against the opposing tribal members using rape, burnings and machette's as tools of destruction.
Odinga was supported by Obama directly before the violence.
Musharraf - Took over the Presidency of Pakistan in 99' via a Coup. After announcing his intention to combat extremists, Western countries (including the United States and the United Kingdom) have switched from sanctions to active support through military and monetary aid.
Musharraf was supported by the Bush administration, as well as, the UK.

I'm not sure what you're saying is outrageous. Obama clearly campaigned for Odinga.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raila_Odinga
"Obama Connection
In August 2006, Mr. Obama visited Kenya and spoke in support of Mr. Odinga's candidacy at rallies in Nairobi."
Odinga is from an opposing tribe of the Kikuyu's whom were slaughtered after the latest "fixed from both sides" vote for Presidency. Odinga's tribe is Muslim whereas, Kikuyu's are Christian.
It is rumored that Odinga wanted to put the nation under Sharia Law.
And I'm not sure why you'd post the "honor killings" as an example of pinning that to the neocons. Honor Killings are permitted under Sharia Law which Muslims outside the U.S. live by:
"Qais Al-Ameri, a member of the United Iraqi Alliance, argues that honor killings are permitted under sharia law."
http://www.kuwaittimes.net/read_news.php?newsid=MTIyNzM4ODE3Ng==
Supporting someone who campaings abroad for a Muslim butcher is outrageous.
I don't think many here know the extent of Odinga's support of butchery. Much was sensored by the Kenyan government:
http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/01/28/news/Kenya-Election-Violence.php
"KISUMU, Kenya: Thousands of machete-wielding youths hunted down members of President Mwai Kibaki's Kikuyu tribe Monday in western Kenya's Rift Valley, torching homes and buses, clashing with police, and blocking roads with burning tires.
Witnesses described seeing two people pulled from cars and stoned to death, while another was burned alive in a minibus — the latest victims of a month of escalating violence triggered by a disputed presidential election. The death toll has soared over 800.
Kibaki has said he is open to direct talks with opposition leader Raila Odinga, who is from the Luo tribe, but that his position as president is not negotiable. Odinga says Kibaki must step down and only new elections will bring peace."
Odinga didn't call for peace. He and his tribe used violence as a weapon. Rape was used a lot as well.
In Obama's defense, he did call both candidates of both tribes to try to bring peace. I wonder why Obama didn't focus on the only tribe that was killing people? The Kikuyu's fled and slept outside their homes for fear of being trapped and burned alive.

Obama supports Odinga whom has no problem burning christians alive trying to flee a church in Kenya. Those that got out were hacked to death. Nice.
Scarier still, no evidence that the ACLU is as interested in confronting America's Islamic citizens pushing their religion on the rest of us the same way they do the christians.
The ACLU doesn't even act when muslim women want to swim in public swimming pools discriminating against male life guards and using tax money for their modesty:
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2002389078_muslimswim.html
Now that's scary. Left wingers whine about the religious right. Yet they want a muslim in office who supports a murderer? I guess they want a taste of the religious left. LOL!
I guess we know where at least some of the Obama supporters were during the RNC:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080901/ap_on_el_pr/cvn_convention_protests
Some turn violent in march to GOP convention By AMY FORLITI, Associated Press Writer
58 minutes ago
ST. PAUL, Minn. - Protesters attacked delegates, smashed windows, punctured car tires and threw bottles Monday, a violent counterpoint to an otherwise peaceful anti-war march at the Republican National Convention. Police wielding pepper spray arrested at least 56 people.
The trouble happened not far from the Xcel Energy Center convention site, and many of those involved in the more violent protest were clad in black and identified themselves to reporters as anarchists. They wrought havoc by damaging property and setting at least one fire. Most of the trouble was in pockets of a neighborhood near downtown, several blocks from where the convention was taking place.
Police estimates of the crowd shifted several times during the event, ranging from 2,000 to 10,000. The crowd was clearly in the thousands. Late Monday afternoon, long after the antiwar marchers had dispersed, police requested and got 150 Minnesota National Guard soldiers to help control splinter groups near downtown.
Members of the Connecticut delegation said they were attacked by protesters when they got off their bus near the Xcel Center, KMSP-TV reported. Delegate Rob Simmons told the station that a group of protesters came toward his delegation and tried to rip the credentials off their necks and sprayed them with a toxic substance that burned their eyes and stained their clothes.
One 80-year-old member of the delegation had to be treated for injuries, and several other delegates had to rinse their eyes and clothing, the station reported.
Five people were arrested for lighting a trash bin on fire and pushing it into a police car, St. Paul police spokesman Tom Walsh said. Authorities didn't have immediate details on the other arrests.
The antiwar march was organized by a group called the Coalition to March on the RNC and Stop the War, whose leaders said they hoped for a peaceful, family-friendly event. But police were on high alert after months of preparations by a self-described anarchist group called the RNC Welcoming Committee, which wasn't among the organizers of the march.
About 20 people dressed in black tried to block a key intersection. Police quickly dispersed the group, then shot two tear gas canisters at them as the fled.
Pictures taken by Associated Press photographers showed officers using pepper spray on people who appeared to be trying to block streets.
Up to 200 people from a group called Funk the War noisily staged their own march. Wearing black clothes, bandanas and gas masks, some of their members smashed windows of cars and stores. They tipped over newspaper boxes, pulled a big trash bin into the street, bent the rearview mirrors on a bus and flipped heavy stone garbage bins on the sidewalks.
One member of the group carried a yellow flag with the motto "Don't Tread on Me." The group chanted: "Whose streets? Our streets!"
At one point, people pushed a trash bin filled with trash and threw garbage in the streets and at cars. They also took down orange detour road signs. One of them used a screwdriver to puncture the back tire of a limousine waiting at an intersection and threw a wooden board at the vehicle, denting its side. Another hurled a glass bottle at a charter bus that had stopped at an intersection. The bottle smashed into pieces but didn't appear to damage the bus.
After the official march ended, police spent hours dispersing smaller groups of protesters, employing officers on horses, smoke bombs and tear gas.
Protesters put eye drops in each other's eyes after police used chemical irritants such as pepper spray and tear gas. Some wore bandanas and masks to protect themselves.
Protesters were seen lying on an interstate exit ramp to block traffic in downtown St. Paul and linking arms to block other roads.
Terry Butts, a former Alabama Supreme Court justice who is a convention delegate, was on a bus taking delegates to the arena when a brick through the window sprayed glass on him and two others. Butts said he wasn't hurt.
"It just left us a little shaken," he said. "It was sort of a frightening moment because it could have been a bomb or a Molotov cocktail."
I would love to see who would win in a mock election if we let the residents of our nation's prisons vote. LOL!
Obama all the way! Nice constituancy.
What? Is Al not selling any more political satyre books and needs a new job?
Well, there's still a lot of zealots out there that wouldn't be able to sleep at night if they knew their elected representative wasn't "really" going for an all out ban of the practice.
My youngest son plays football. In the 8 year old league. At that age, most of the kids don't like to commit to the tackle or hit. They like to make a show of "trying to make the tackle" to make the parents happy.
That's how I see the anti-abortion politicians. They are making a show of "trying to get the ban" to make their constituants happy knowing all along that they lack the resolve to follow through.
So see, you can vote for a Republican even if they are anti-abortion because you know they aren't going to do squat about it. Can McCain have your vote now? LOL!
Ain't nobody gonna overturn roe v wade. Frankly, I'm surprised that abortion is even a Federal issue any more.
