Beautiful, booshforbrains
I must agree. You can draw that bottom trendline all the way down to october.
1 year worth of oil in that area they are opening up
I'm holding onto the third spot.
Will peep it later...looking forward to it.
Often imitated...never duplicated
Buttholico,
You take things way too seriously, my brother. You need to mellow out a bit.
I'm always looking for a good fight, buttholico.
I said now is a great time to buy if you are net long (meaning you have a reason and a desire to be long). If you are net long, you are betting that the old resistance level will hold. If you are indifferent, then you wait to see it a resistance level is penetrated and upside move resumes.
Regarding ABP, I am still holding from 2.67. ABP is pretty close to a long-term breakout, and I am hoping it goes. I have not been able to find a catalyst for ABP, besides the current E&P environment and the possibility that ABP will be acquired.
Based on technicals alone, I wouldn't own it right now. If fundamentals disagree with the present technicals and you see upside, you should be salivating.
I can make no promises, but if I were net long, I would be looking to accumulate in the coming days. Anything under $3 would be screaming buy.
Save the manatee, man(atee)
My friend in portlad owns three rifles and a glock.
Interesting contradiction, but all your folks out in Portland pack heat.
Hippie
I may not be that smart, but I am quick to correct my mistakes (when pointed out to me and when I have 3 minutes to make the correction).
Great board! It's too bad I ended up here when someone (fuck you, Churak) pointed out multiple misspellings of the word 'courtesy' in one of my recent posts.
Add Chris Webber to that list...
NEW YORK (AP) - Rap diva Lil' Kim was convicted Thursday of lying to a federal grand jury to protect friends involved in a shootout outside a radio station.
Lil' Kim and her assistant were both convicted of perjury and conspiracy but acquitted of obstruction of justice. They each face up to 20 years in prison; sentencing was set for June 24.
The 29-year-old former sidekick and mistress of the late Notorious B.I.G., known for her revealing outfits and raunchy raps, testified that she did not notice two close friends at the scene of the 2001 shootout - her manager, Damion Butler, and Suif "Gutta" Jackson. Both men have since pleaded guilty to gun charges.
The jury saw radio station security photos showing Butler opening a door for Lil' Kim. And witnesses Antoine "Banger" Spain and James "Lil' Cease" Lloyd, who once teamed with Lil' Kim in the group Junior M.A.F.I.A, testified that Butler and Jackson were at the station with her.

Both defendants shook their heads as the verdicts were delivered. Lil' Kim's supporters broke out in sobs. After the verdict, when asked whether she had any comment, Lil' Kim shook her head.
The shootout occurred outside WQHT, a.k.a. Hot 97, when Lil' Kim's entourage crossed paths with a rival rap group, Capone-N-Noreaga. One man was injured as more than two dozen rounds were fired on the sidewalk.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Cathy Seibel told jurors that the 4-foot-11 rapper, referred to throughout the trial by her real name, Kimberly Jones, had repeatedly lied to them, just as she did to the grand jury.
"The testimony was preposterous. It was insulting. It was insulting to your intelligence. It was insulting to the judicial process," Seibel told jurors.
Seibel belittled the defense that the sunglasses-wearing Lil' Kim didn't notice two people she knew at the scene of the shootout.
"You would have to believe they were magic sunglasses that only block out your friends who were shooting people," Seibel said.
Defense lawyer Mel Sachs argued that Lil' Kim had no reason to protect Butler and Jackson because she had already eliminated them from her life.
Lil' Kim testified that after the shooting she had a falling out with Butler, Banger and Cease because they were freeloading at her New Jersey town house. She said she decided to cut off Butler completely after he caused a ruckus outside a video shoot with Phil Collins.
"I was just fed up," she said. "They were taking advantage of me."
The rapper also testified at length about her modest background and mercurial career, which began with an impromptu audition for B.I.G. on the street in their Brooklyn neighborhood.
Lil' Kim won a Grammy Award for her part in the hit remake of "Lady Marmalade" in 2001.
The shooting took place outside the same station where the posses of 50 Cent and The Game traded bullets last week. No arrests have been made in that shooting, which left one of Game's henchmen wounded in the leg.

I think I got it (the concept of the thought process of it, that is).
p.s. My name is not Richard...
Fair enough, and I do appreciate the courtesy given the banning. I saw no need for you to take my comments public, but that was your decision. I considered posting publicly rather than in private to you, but I went private out of courtesy to you. I have no problem with you posting the message publicly.
If you were to take a private message and make it public then you would in effect be slandering yourself...If you see me posting shit about you all over Ihub, then you may have a legitimate gripe. I have no intentions of posting anything about you on Ihub...
Chart looks pretty interesting, particularly in light of growing oil demand. It looks like they're a ways away from getting anything significant out of the ground. The E&P sector has been consolidating, and this trend will likely continue as majors attempt to replenish their reserves by acquiring companies that have already done seismic exploration work on their properties rather than by launching new and costly exploration endeavors themselves. I don't need to tell you that though b/c you are the oil baron.
Good night, homey.
You da man!
Good question...
Are you the highest bidder?
I definitely was expecting more consolidation though. Good luck to you too, my brother.
I like the sound of it, but what does it apply to? Volume surge? Block print?
And if you want to know what I think about AMEP...I think it will consolidate, form a new base (which IBD writers would refer to as a "handle"), and then BLOWDAFUCKUP.
My advice is to forget about cup and handles and other patterns until you have a good feel for drawing trendlines over multiple timeframes and until you have a better understanding of the concepts of support and resistance. To borrow a cheesy analogy, you don't build a house without first building a strong foundation.
Growing fears credit boom may implode
By Dan Roberts and David Wighton in New York and Peter Thal Larsen in London

Bankruptcy advisers are hiring extra staff amid fears that an end to the global credit boom could spark a surge in business failures in the US and Europe.

Unusually loose lending conditions have encouraged record borrowing by speculative-grade companies, with leveraged buy-outs and debt refinancing on both sides of the Atlantic generating more than $100bn of deals in the past eight months.
But last week's fall in the price of US Treasury bonds, coinciding with signs that bankers are struggling to complete riskier corporate bond issues, has added to a sense of nervousness in some quarters.
Although corporate default rates remain low, some fear the legacy of recent private equity buy-outs and hedge fund investments in distressed debt will be a swath of over-leveraged companies ill-equipped to survive in less benign conditions.
PwC, the largest corporate recovery adviser, said it was hiring insolvency specialists in sectors such as retailing, utilities and telecommunications in preparation for the expected fall-out.
Scott Bok, president of Greenhill & Co, an investment bank specialising in merger advice and restructuring, also predicts the cycle will end with a lot of companies in trouble. “In many of the deals being done today you can foresee the debt restructurings to come in a year or two,” he said.
Last week, the Financial Stability Forum, a group of national and international central banks and regulators, pointed to the levels of liquidity as one of the main risks to the stability of the global financial system.
Following a meeting in Tokyo, the FSF said that, according to some of its members, tight credit spreads and low long-term interest rates suggested some in the market might be underpricing risks. It urged banks and investors to monitor their exposures by stress-testing what would happen in the event of a market shock. Chuck Prince, chief executive of Citigroup, said: “The possibility of a liquidity bubble around the world concerns me. A very cautionary thing is that it feels like the world is changing and traditional indices may not give a complete picture.” Some say markets are becoming more nervous. Paul Hsi, a senior analyst at Moody's, said: “There is a little bit more caution in the market right now as some of the weaker credits come up with ‘me-too' offerings and investors take a harder look.”
Ian Powell, head of European business recovery for PWC, added: “You only need one of these really big financing deals to go sour and confidence will evaporate very quickly.”
However, investors say the market is more aware of the risks than in previous credit cycles and that funds are managing their exposure accordingly.
“People are on ‘bubblewatch' since almost every market got burnt in the last five years,” said Stephen Peacher, head of high-yield investment at Putnam, the fund manager.
“We know that bond prices are certainly not cheap but, given that default rates are so very low, we feel comfortable that spreads are in a fair value range.”

The reason I asked is because of the relationship between CLX and HSC. That coupled with all of your posts about EZTO made me go hmmmmmmmmmm.
