W'daF....long xau too @ 906.55
maybe folks'll see da light 'n realize right off da bat dat all this stim stuff aint all that good.....though I doubt it....they'll jus contine bein da good lil leemings they r.
I hear ya Bro.....quite dicey tonight imo....even more so than the typical Sun w/all the stim beef goin 'round town.
Could prove 2 b quite da rocky week.....& I'm feelin more like Bullwinkle meself.....
Now where'd dat flyin squirrel shoot off to now?
Hey....who deleted a post 'n y?.......
inquiring minds wanna know.....heck, I sure hope it simply weren't 4 da fact that some1 was talkin equities & an MOD wanted ta flex a lil PYPS muscle :0
Just did a Worn NO-NO...dabl'n on a Sunday.....long Aud/US @ 6682...& now back 2 da show....da Grammy's that is.
Hey....pretty good 60 mins piece on Sulley.....loved the one passanger's T he made....
"Sully Is My Co-Pilot"
;)~
I hear w/da wee'ster example thingy....y I don't like takin the Norco.....then again...if I'm taken the Norco dat means I sure aint drinken. & even so....sorry JRB....I've never been much of a drinker.....maybe a lil Tanqueray on a rare ocasion....but da hops....never was my style. Tho I must say those Heinekein's I had from my short time in da motherland (Amsterdam) were the tops....the European formula kicks butt....lotza sugar....too bad they dont brew it like that stateside.
Having said that....Cheers!!
off ta Google Land (Menlo Park) in a few mins.
or the tail of a ding dong....or a ding dong of a tail.....or a tale of a ding dong's tail :0
anyway ya wanna "slice" it :0
PS
sorry ta hear about the wknd bag holdin thingy....never n e fun.
Sure....that's like the alcoholic sayin.....
I only smoke now ;)~
No joke......heck, even jus 10K would work & I could build from there.
Ya know what's real temptin...the Insurance Co keeps offering to settle my life time claim on the back. Settled in '91 for life time medical....didnt want the $$$ at the time....& then they were offering me just under 10K....wadda joke!!
Now approx 2-3 X's a yr they come at me w/more offers to settle....last offer a mos ago was for just over 40K. Still not even close to what my back will surely be costing me (aheem, THEM!!) over the long haul. Offering me 40K is like sayin I'm gonna kick in 5-10 yrs time...they know somethin I don't? :0
Anyway....I keep tellin'em....dont even bother unless u can come at me w/at least 200K.
But man o'man is it ever tempting ta let'em off da hook & try & parlay that 40+K into what could prove to be my families retirement.
Then again if it all goes up in flames I'll have no more freebie back coverage..free Rx's, epidurlas, etc. & w/how my back is...I know it'll surely be costin them at least 200K over the rest of my life. & who knows....maybe one day they'll have that laser proceedure they've been workin on over the last decade + perfected.....one can only hope.
OK....gotta run.....& again....nice double w/your 1st week.....indeed gold rocks...pun INtended of course ;)~
Cheers!!!
otherwise ref'd to as....
4x Marsala...ie da 4x Meltin Pot
(insert your classic Jester pic here)
NJ!! JRB.....so I see I am not at the top....
just closed my 2 positions out & have nothing open....& plan to remain quiet into the close. Was able to get out of both the xau & usd/chf shorts w/a slight profit....acct bal now sitten at 73,595...jus shy of that 50% mark...I'll take it tho....not bad for a weeks worth of "work" ;))
This board has really been hop'n as of late....I dont read overnight or for a few hrs during the day & wham....I'm 50+ posts behind....good stuff.
I'll be ck'in out soon as I have my 1st appt for that pain mngmt study down in Menlo Park this afternoon....gotta be down there @ 4p...& on a Bay Area Fri commute....wonderful!!!
Happy Wknd All!!!
Cheers!!
Hey...if frenz can't harass each other from time ta time then we wouldn't be considered frenz....so no need ta qualify....I was jus yank'n your chain in return of course. But thx jus da same for wanting 2 b sure we were both on da same page. I assume (hope) that what u say is indeed the case...jus taken the opp for a low blow...u know me....da window don't need 2 b open all that much for ta ensure that after I am done....there's a draft for which u know Worn was present ;)~
Took some punishment overnight....shoulda closed both my short usd/chf & xau's & took a slight loss....around 1K combined....but no, stubborn-greedy me decided ta let'em both fly (w/out sl's of course...otherwise they both woulda surely been hit) & when I logged on this AM I was greeted by some significant red....& the worst part is....my tp's were just missed by a few pips...& then of course they both proceeded to go way against me.....Grrrr!! So now I've doubled down & thus far that's proven 2 b a good move makin some back....approx 50% back thus far. So I'm gettn fairly confident it'll all wash out OK hopefully by tomorrow's close.....otherwise I'll be a dreaded wknd bagholder w/much of my ammo tied up...tphhffftt!!
So CaT.....who knows...I just may find that rope come the end of week 1....but after a real fast glance here....seems the xau & usd/chf are now makin some serious tracks back my way to the south....so indeed....doubl'n down this AM was a good decision..so far.....now down just approx 50% from where I was this AM (-7K+)....approx -3K now (just under actually) w/a the acct bal still restin @ 70,326.
OK....this is kidless hr for another 90 mins so I gotta go make the most of it.
CK back a lil later.....
Cheers!!!
C'mon CaT.....what did ya do w/re to the Comp page....why does it only say how many trades we've done? Why no other figs...WTF?
Worn's now sitten @ 70,326 'n change....tho this time I have 2 open positions that are a combined -824 at present.
Workin on a short usd/chf @ 1.1583 & a short xau @ 904.45...just a few bucks in the green right now w/the gold but the us/chf is approx 23 pips under aqua....nothin all too bad....should recover overnight...may even hit the 50% mark come pst sunrise.
Ni TZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ya'll
Oh u got me all wrong....
I wasn't ref'n to the barefoot 'n prego & or stoopit thingy.....no no no not at all.....I was merely talkin about the incest issue...that is true what they say, right? :0
LOL!!
Yeah...but r they happy w/their "meal" ? :0
& I'm not so sure I'd be ref to a bro as a 'date'....unless of course Daiello is from the south....which I don't think he is.
I'll take a feline in a blanket :0
& Congrats Nettles....WTF'nG!!!!
back in a few for a quick afternoon position or 2....
& the same is true from the US depression way back in the day...in fact my dad (born in '28) is still quite conservative (& that's putting it mildly) to this day...& from what I've seen from our parents (or folks from that era) for the most part is that indeed that experience has made so much of a long long impression on them that it has definitely played a huge role in shaping them.
Not to say we'll be experiencing the same kinda challenges as they did...at least of course I hope it wont prove 2 b that dire. But to a degree, agreed in so much as I really believe that we wont be seeing the type of spending we saw in the 90's & early 2k's....not by a long shot.
Off ta go get the 1st grader.
Took a lil break is all I needed it seems.....
2nd or 3rd time I've taken some 4x time off (over a week) & dang if each time I return I seem to do well right oudda the gates. Tho this time I think it's dumb luck b/c I really haven't been keepin up w/the mrkts, equities, etc. at all....jus goin by the short term chart. Which I guess is the real beauty of 4x....u really dont need to know what's goin on all too much (tho it can't hurt of course) just take a gander at the chart & ramble on.
& on that note....someone say somethin about TARP/Stim/ECB Announcement, etc.? LOL
no worries Bud....it's post # 29558....
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=35287431
Just closed out my short gold @ 901.40...just short of the original stop of 900 & change.....I'll take it...from 906.36 to 901.40...works for me.
Nothing open & the acct now @ 70,326 'n change....& it's great ta have everyone posting their bals w/each trade....not necessarry but of course makes it way more fun imo.
OK....50% by mannna...maybe later on today....back to 'work'.
& yes Jester...the stay at home thing sure ROCKS eh....I highly sugg u milk it 4 all that u can.
Ya....the Eggo's can wait....just bailed oudda the short gbp/jpy for 50...bailed at 130.02.....still workin on the short gold which is currently barely up...jus 20 but hey, at least I've already covered the spread.
OK....ankle biters now in screamin mode 2 b fed....time to bail on my virtual life ;)~
gbp/jpy already makin its' turn 4 me.....& I also took some gold here a few mins ago....short @ 905.95...lookin for 900+/- a few cents.
OK....Eggo time
damn near as close to the vortex as u can get :0
in fact I'll be goin down to Menlo Park on Fri....gotta be there @ 4 for 3 hrs.....have been qualified for a pain management study near the Stanford Campus.....really excited about this....mind over matter kinda thing...measure brain waves (OK, I'll say it so u wont have to....are there really any? Well I suppose we'll soon find out once & fur'good) several MRI's, the works.....& the money aint bad either.....$25-$35 an hr depending on what I'm doing....drve time (takes me approx 45 mins each way), MRI, brain scan time, interview time (that's this Fri..the initial intro interview) & filling out forms, questionaires time. 12 meetings over a 3-4 mos span. Anything to help me reduce the amt of Rx's is fine by me.
Here's the beef....
http://www.chronicpainresearchstudy.com/
now how did I get on this topic?....oh yeah....they're down by Goog.....hehe See Jester....careful now w/those digs or u r sure 2 get Worn in ramble mode...& we sure don't want that
now do we?
Oanda = molasses...got the yellow bar on the lower left rearin its' ugly face from X ta X....green now tho.....demo side of course...anyone else c'n this?
& no, I'm not running late today....Wed we get an extra hr as the bell rings @ 9a...but thx in advance 4 your concern ;)~
Oh WTF....I'm an addict....
short gbp/jpy @ 130.53.....saw the current chart & it fits my criteria.....simply said, it's gone too far too fast. Lookin for 129.20 or thereabouts...may bail early (as per usual) if it begins retracin as fast as it went north.
Now that was 2 feckin funny.....LMAO Jester/eom
did ya miss my post the other day (was it Mon?).....as I like ta say...remember...u heard it here 1st ;)~
Wuz shaken JRB?
& Sherri....hope the fever is low & short term...the 12-24 hr garden variety....sending out all my Mr. Mom positive well wishes & support your way....always sux when the offspring are not 100%.....not sure how the parents w/the chronic sicks kids go about their daily biz....couldn't imagine.
OK...back 2 da topic at hand.....since the Oanda Comp page isn't well itself....shall I reccommend that all those who r participating post their acct values each night (or AM...doesn't really matter when just so long as it's done every or every other day at least at any time) along w/any current open position values. After all....as for me, I think one of the fun aspects of all this is to see the Standings & talk some smack all the while.....gotta put a lil added spice into this stuff :0
OK...off to go Rescue more pooches...& hey, whose the person here who has done animal work (grooming was it?) in the past?....I'd like to speak w/you about an idea that I am in the midst of Pitching to Pet Food Express....a regional & fairly large Pet Supply outlet....kinda like a mini Costco for Animals. They do lotza Rescue work w/in the community & I came up w/an idea that could prove to really help to move animals....would like to talk about this w/as many savvy animal folks as possible. & yes, I do have a non-disclosure but it's really for the Big Boys....like PFExpress...not so much for individuals so I'm not too concerened about that....heck, if someone wants to "steal" my idea & it helps to save animals.....fine by me......go for it. I just don't want the big boys steal'n my thunder...they got enuff thunder already.
OK....gotta run....Woof!!!
PS

Way behind (again) on all the posts.....got our foster adopted out today....as our 6 yr old says...."we have happy tears for Magoo" :)))
So where's the link to the comp standings.....anyone up 10% yet?
Indeed a classic.....love that line....."we're in the vortex" when they're in that real seedy casino bar w/all dem freaks...like a Circus Circus or something like that....loved it when Depp pushed Benico Del Torro (Dr Gonzo) off the merry go around bar b/c he was tripen too hard ta figure out how ta step off...LMAO!!!
OK..I see it's already passed the Ihub bewitching hr & I'm now workin on Mon's bank.....guess I'll go get me some couch time...I'm really wiped....them fast turn arounds are tough.....think it was less than 24 hrs from ck'in to ck'out.
Now I gotta find me some tenants & PRONTO!!!
Ni TZzzzzzzzzzzzz
hey...go ahead 'n poke fun....bein that AZ scored more than 20 (for a +105 hit.....good thing I made da ol desperado ATM stop early this AM.....fee-u) I couldn't be in a better mood.
& good thing I decided ta also cover my buddy's bets (who was in Palm Springs & give me a few bets via da fone)....I loved the opposite of what he wanted...he liked Pitt -7 & the under (47).....I liked AZ w//the pts & the over....not a parlay tho...both straight. So I decided to be the house w/him...also by doin this I'd have more cash in my immediate pocket ta put more on that AZ over @ 20.5....which was lookin awful for approx 3.5 Q's. Aint it always the way...u r lookin bleak the entire game & then at the end ya make the big comeback. Which is why I hate it when my bets are lookin good early on....seems those are the one's that ya end up goin belly up on. & if not for that Federer debacle down under last night...or early this AM as it were....I woulda came away lookin real good for the quick overnighter.
& CaT.....get this....I saw 4 of dem Orange Schneider trucks...3 comin down da Sierras (I80) & then 1 more on I5 when I got just a few ticks south of Sacrmento....none of'em looked like u tho....& if memory recalls...aint that your previous employer anywho?
Anyway.....u go right ahead & tease me....I coudn't be in a better mood right now....got the trip all paid for & even came away w/2 more tickets...Oak to win the SB next yr @ 80-1 for $10 & again to win the AFC @ 40-1 for $20....lol
So whose in 1st after day 1? ;)~
Guess I should go 'n flip me a lil gold here ta break the comp ice.
'n howza 'bouts this for anudder rule....
All contestants MUST reveal who they are (IHUB) screen names b4 the end of the 1st week of trading...otherwise they get da feline claw 'n boot.
Thus...I wanna know just who
Monty, Jeffery 254 & nafee are....& shame on all u others for not signen up.....or does Sherri & Nettles happen 2 b among 2 of those 3?
Careful now....word is Donald 'n da entire gang (Daffy, Daisey, Disco, etc) are all quite hungry....lay those palms out up 'n flat or else :0
Oanda.....Raiderdad is locked 'n loaded...all ready 2 go w/a fresh 50K & a zero'd out P/L.
Game ON!!!! Now who wants ta belt out the Star Spangled Banner? :o
Watch....it'll play out like this I can just visualize it now....AZ has 20 pts & is down by (24-20 Pitt) 4 w/10 secs left in the game & are on the Pitt 10 yd line (or well w/in fg range)....instead of goin fur (so I'd hit the over 20.5) da EZ 3 they're forced ta go for the TD...& don't get it.
If this occurs & ya hear somethin & or feel the ground beneath u shake....u can blame Worn no doubt :0
Well no doubt.....word is most Kiwi's were on the fav Federer so now that Nadal upset him (in 5) there's some pain bein felt in the pocket book....so much for casa $$$ on the SB.
Now the Suite is @ rack(et) rate & after this AM's stop @ a local Sbux 4 the venti quad I just happened to be driving by my banks ATM....& of course it was payday on Fri....how covenient I thought to myself. Ya know....just thot of somethin....I truly think they changed it from 2 weeks between the Conference Championship games & SB to just 1 week off in between just for the casino's.....this way the SB jus so happens ta fall on payday wknd....makes complete sense ta me. Da man always workin hard @ keepin us lil worker fish swimmen upstream ;)~
Having said that, now I do feel like a salmon who just spawned (or whatever ya call it when they do their thing & swim upstream) & is now makin its' journey upstream to curl up & go to that big salmon sanctuary in the sky. So now I REALLY am gonna be needin EVERY1's help...some positive thots comin my way for AZ to score more than 20.5 pts today.....here's hopin Warner has a HUGE 1st 1/2 & covers me by the time they rollout the stage @ 1/2 X & da Boss begins beltin out his 1st of 3 tunes.
Sure hope I aint grinden the entire 2nd 1/2 & the Suite gets back down to Players Card rate or a lil below. Got 2 Buds who want me ta call'em to put in a few bets for'em...maybe I'll just cover'em myself.
Did someone say somethin 'bout skeletons? :0
Who needs the Super Bowl....
Federer (-155) over Nadal (+135) I just took...Finals Down Under that goes off in approx 6 hrs...3a pst...so by the time I wake up I'll now if I'm a winner. I'll say Roger in 4.
& if so I'll put those gains on another SB Prop....& bein that it'll be casa $$$$ I jus may take AZ on ta win outright on da money line @ +190...wtf!!
& come 2 think of it if I wake up at my usual time (6-6:30a) I just may catch the tail end of the Aussie Finals live downstairs on the Sat dish in the Sporstbook. Gotta love bein in the gamblin vortex on the eve of the SB...it's freakin hopin downstairs....never knew soooo many pretty ladies were fans of da pigskin :))
Hey....any1 ever see Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas.....a Depp classic.....about good ol' Hunter Thompson may he RIP. Well tonight I'm written part 2....the Reno version. ;)~
GO FEDERERERERERER!!!!!!!!!!
U really gotta stop teasing me here.....
sooner or later I'm gonna be asking u 4 a pic :0
So what I wanna know is.....how come there were no girls like u where I came from back in the day? I coulda actually been someone w/a girl like u around ;))
Then again....I guess I was too busy playin tennis...which is why I suppose I was too shy & dint eally hang out enuff to really get my shots in....pun INtended ;)~
