Welp, for the first time, Trustee called spouse yesterday and asked what I was going to do, spouse in turn asked me what I was going to do, I called daughter and she threw her hands up, and then I responded to spouse and said I don't know if to buy put leaps or buy stock. When do you catch the falling knife in this market? I've already put good Fortune 500 stocks in her trust in this market. We are already down 10 percent off the highs, daughters don't need it until they wanna buy a house. So, as I said before, when I was trading, we just went outside for a smoke and a frank or a burrito and let the computers take over, so I gotta use my professional and no emotion mode and step back. This is a computer market now. In a long term mode, you cannot beat the 'puters. I used to go to Morans and Ulysses in NYC after hours on days like this. Always at full capacity. Ulysses used to take over all over Stone St. with prolly a 1000 people drinking.
If you ever see the CME Group TV commercial, at the beginning when the female golfer hits off the Pan Am (now known as the Met Life) Building, the first hit landed at the Wall Street Inn on South William St in FIDI Manhattan, with the green awning. The front door behind it is Ulysses on Stone Street. That was my hangout for more times than I would like to claim.
