Hahaha, great post! Totally agree with all points.
Health and fitness is slowly making a come back in consumers' lives and the new age BS theme is to be clean, fresh and without harmful habits like smoking. So IMO I agree that the ecig movement WILL eventually take hold, just a matter of when and how and who profits. Like all radical changes in lifestyle through new technologies though it is going to take years and years. So IMO it is too early to start shorting PM and Altria into the ground and taking out a home equity loan to buy up all the shares of these crappy 'stinky' pinkies. BUT it is a good idea now IMO to begin scrapping away at small positions in the various publicly traded companies in order to gain a foothold on the emerging markets, even if it means taking daily bashing by those with no skin in the game laughing at you from the sidelines.
What happened to that clown punching bag icon you had?!! Hahaha
Hey, at least it looks like the SEC has at least started to make a few changes like today the announcement about dumping the whole possibility for crony firms to just keep putting up their hands and saying .. 'we cannot admit or deny guilt' and then just paying a small fine and going right on doing what they have been doing. It is time to make law breakers liable, responsible and accountable.
Yea, 'trading' 'our way out' is tougher than one may think when your property has been put in a secret lock box by the DTCC and the key thrown away.. we'll see if we ever can get our hands on any possible path for at least having the ability to liquidate if we so desire. I know I have a DGTLF limit sell order out there as well as a limit buy but nothing is biting...
Time will tell, tic toc tic toc..
