Very 50/50 but I see charts pointing down, some may see different, we shall see.
Romney has a 20% lead in New Hampshire, yeah right. Ken Doll impressed the folks in their rockers up there haha
Just listen to him describe anything that requires thought, he hasnt got it.
GDP downgrades are not good for the markets:

Here it is a classic: ( not expressing opinion but this was pivotal )
Being able to express ideas without being bashed by some idiotic Press notion of the truth would truly allow the candidate to come forward in talent.
Howard Dean saying Romney is a Shoo in, yes like Shoo fly shoo fly.
He is outclassed bigtime by Newt, More experienced MUCH more
articulate, nicer guy, smarter.
Romneys only statements so far have been anti Obama but Obama will
eat his lunch in debates and public opinion. Newt can at least
give Obama a run for his money.
Then again Howard Dean is democratic and therefore wants a weaker
candidate to run against Obama, but to me choosing the weaker
candidate is unamerican, not smart, and self defeatist. ( possibly
why Dean hasnt won anything on a national basis ).
What the public sees in Romney is skin deep and to me that is
disgusting and pathetic.
Timed my exit from baidu perfectly today with my weeklies, couldnt risk it and as it turned out its a good thing I didnt with that pop in play.
My entry into new puts could have been better but I have until March of Next year to make up for it, should be plenty of time for more market stumbles.
Figures they would try to pile into a stock that I am putting, it will just make the gains that much sweeter.
Watched the one hour trek across the amazon show with the 2 brits and one guide to start with.
I wonder if it was too negative to mention the botfly that buries its larvae in the head, and the redzone drug trafficking area and the eating of spider monkies along with the karate expert getting foot disease. Well maybe so but it sure looks like it may have happened this way.
Not sure how they could have avoided those realities, positive thinking only gets you so far. The bottom line is they made it even after the guide got sick on tainted water. The problem with positive thinking alone is that you may be unprepared for what is very common in errors along the way.
A dozen calls in VRUS would have made my year, coulda shoulda woulda.
Congrats to VRUS owners, to think I might have stayed away cause the ticker sounds like virus, haha this one caught me by surprise.
BIDU is getting sued for copyright infringement...
Good news in this camp for now.
I predict Gamestop is going to be faced with some real problems for they are NOT putting the customer first.
Here is why: The local branch only has console games and very piss poor collection of PC games which are the life blood for many a PC gamer.
The Website is only supporting PC game digital downloads which in some cases do not work and the support is terrible so far to fix broken downloads. Not enough selection for PC games are offered and what is available is not available as used or preowned so much.
XBOX totally dissed the old XBOX one purchassers by creating XBOX 360 and not making games reverse compatible. So who is to say that XBOX 360 owners wont soon be discontinued. We expect our investments in time and money to last more than a few years folks and this company Gamestop and the XBOX franchise has totally got that wrong by alienating PC gamers.
Interesting little struggle going on in gaming:
Activision Blizzard ( based in Santa Monica ) has surpassed yearly
revenue for Electronic Arts ( based in Redwood City near san fran
) California.

Lately it seems that Call of Duty is priced identical to Battlefield 3 to see which one wins out. So far Call of Duty is getting more online multiplayer play.

Correction it seems that today at least we have gone pear shaped, so I refer back to the premarket is not the open market hehe
The USD may just catch a bid here, we shall see
The Premarket does not a day make, hehe
Misleading statements such as " if you happen to think the world and the market is going to go pear shaped like I do"
Warren Buffet: I invest for the long term for short term investing tends to make people tempted to make misleading comments
No Sheeet Warren, he he Pear shaped is supposed to mean bottom heavy as in lower and today we are higher.
I like Apple as an investment stock or trading stock but as a
product its always had its head up its arse if you ask me.
Just checked the price points and offerings for laptops and IPADs
and I really cant believe that folks prefer the no keyboard IPAD to
a laptop with a keyboard. I mean if you are always mobile than
maybe but the laptop in my mind is still the way to go.
So at comparable prices for Apple and HP based products you have an
Apple laptop with only 800 Mhz chip compared to 2 Ghz for an HP
laptop, for memory you have DDRAM 2 instead of 3 for the HP laptop
and less of it as well. HDD space you only are offered 80 GB
versus 500 GB for the HP PC laptop, Apple you have to purchase
refurbished while its brand new for the HP Laptop.
I cant believe I am the only one to notice this. I will buy Apple
stock for the appreciation potential, but the products themselves it
will be the laptop and it will be the HP. Plain and Simple.
As an afterthought the only way I can be convinced away from the
laptop and onto the IPAD 2 is if the phone access to the internet
features outweighs the need for the keyboard and 17 inch screen
with loads of RAM and HDD space.
When will they learn that the best way to get to know someone is
with a handshake, a name say, and a smile and not a telephone
surveillance job, a read of bank and credit, a criminal background
check, an investigator to tag along, and questions for family
members. The "smart way in this example" is actually stupid and
does very little to build trust.
My luck has just got to change either that or someone really needs to stop messing with me.
Got some RMBS calls hoping for a bounce
Bond Yields show a 3% 10 year rate, which means 0.3% per year
0.003 x N = 100,000 per year living expenses.
N is the size of the bond
N = 33.3 Million Bucks
How many people have 33 million to put into a ten year bond
and for those people can they even use the 100k per year or do they
have to wait for ten years to use it.
And we wonder why people buy high yield junk bonds.
This is not a good Holiday marketplace, we need some clear winners and losers
RMBS would have been a nice lotto today for sure, missed the plunge and it must have happened real fast.
If anyone tries the recipe dont marinate the salmon in the mixture,
use the mixture as the sautee material right in the pan on med to
high heat with the salmon cooking right in the stuff.
When the salmon is done and the marinade starts to get crusty eat
both together its like a really good sauce for the salmon.
Best home cooked meal in a while.
None of these recipes work unless you add and subtract based on your
liking, for instance add more mustard if you like it spicy, add
more honey if you like it sweeter, add more olive oil if you like it
more moist, add more cayenne pepper if you want it hot. And add
more basil pesto sauce if you favor that flavor. These flavors
blend better than anything I have tried lately. ***** 5 stars.
Yeppers I can see what you mean, I am not so critical of a guy who screws up his marriage cause you dont know if he was under any pressure from children or family.
Well I bet there are folks who would want Joel Olsteen as president but I dont see him on the ticket. If you can handle a mega church you can handle anything is the theory.
Ok domesticated folks, I can rarely recommend a recipe but this is as good as Lobster,

Wicked Good.
Vitruvian mans dimensions are way off, not normal, haha
Everyone shut up and take your meds, haha
OIL and the UUP steals the headlines, warning for the markets,
sucked the bull right out of my apple calls, on the sidelines
waiting now.
The GMCR swing was nice today, had me some calls, The ANF flop is fun as well.
ANF on fire from a miss on earnings, and they suggest retail is hot, haha wrong.
GMCR calls up 500% this morning, wish I bought more than 1 contract
Vitruvian man, an interesting story:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitruvian
Classic Energy: ( just humor it )
Check that the UUP is all over the place this morning but its back
down quite a bit.
Steve Forbes on CNBC this morning, WRONG, inventor of
flat tax which no one likes, picks Perry, if that isnt the double
trouble for Perry I dont know what is.
Dismissive of Newt Gingrich, calling it 15 minutes of fame. Do you
remember the Speaker of the House during good times for America ?
What is Gingrichs hidden agenda that they are implying ?
Trump thinks Gingrich is a liar. Where and when ?
Just like the scene in Top Gear where Jezza starts going backwards
down the hill in the "bentley" and James May said "I am really
starting to think that this man is not too bright", and Richard
Hammond says He may just be a tremendous Idiot, Ha Ha thats how I
feel about these debates so far. Gingrich not so much in the
wont vote for category.
When the UUP is higher than the VIX in premarket trading you know
your in for some good trading.
RIG trying to create bear traps and then go bullish ? STUPID..
Even false news reports. Thats why you only play it as a 20 dollar lotto.
