Taking the Auspices on Bubblevision

These seers Bubblevision puts on just make me barf. No substance. A guy just said we have to go down to go further up. Huh? What crap. They babble about some technical crap, like a used car saleman.

All they are doing is a 21st century version of taking the aupisces as the Roman soothsayers did. Worthless techno-babble.

Bought a little DNDN around 8. I'll average into some more. These cancer vaccines seems to work. There must be some fundamental effects there. So I'm buying a portfolio of them. Not huge positions - sized so I can hold them a few years.

Bunkerman said...

Other cancer vaccine play ideas would be appreciated. I have a little BIOM already.

Few years? Come on Bunkerman. You may be real but I'm pretty sure most of your readers are 'fake' or 'virtual'.

Bunkerman said...

True, Bud. But I figure you virtual traders [uh, that's virtual, not virtuous ;-) ] have a nose for stocks that might move.

Bunkerman said...

Some of my readers [ non commentors whom I know ] read me for the non-market posts, btw. The politics, commentary, thinking etc. :-)

now im really going crazy. im barely working. rarely look at charts, rarely watch tape. and im having the best run ive had in months the last two weeks. ive been in 1 stock over 2 weeks.

i was the dude who shelled out 25k for jerrys guitar strap, but i barely play. carl quintana, as usual said the dumbest thing of all "u dont remember the gud dead shows" um ya u do. if the music was gud enuff, u knew it, even if pink elephants were dancing on stage, u still cud tell a gud nite from a bad one. since jerry died, the bad nites r few and far between, but the nites of utter magic r pretty much gone.

my suns looked better last nite. phoenix deserves a ring. Nash deserves a ring. someone needs to test the pistons before the finals or the cud sneak another ring into detroit.

i guess the fed statement comes down to if they just smoke dope or switched to crack. forget which channel but one of the news stations ran a piece on inflation in "middle america" living in the heartland. they cant handle the rise in healthcare, gas and food. my fave quote was one women who now shops at dollar store more than WMT. she said not only is it cheaper but she didnt feel the need to get dressed up like she wud if she was going to WMT. that is actually quite funny. i guess in arkansas u put your sundays best on to go to WMT :-)

The less work, more thinking strategy has worked for me for six months, Mern. I highly recommend it. The trend is your friend. :-))

1700 , Bunkerman, that is sticking the neck out there, but who am i to argue, interesting ...

Bunkerman said...

That is based on my anticipated economic trajectory persisting. News or events can change it. I would certainly post if something happens to change it.

any gud movies on?

nice flip on the TXn thx to bloomberg

Bunkerman said...

That response from Johnny Boy about whether the Fed calls him to get a read on business conditions was VERY INTERESTING. He basically said yes through the clever way he ducked it.

mern said...

IBKR LOL. those greedy pigs blew out thier ipo, and thier back office is worse than ever.

i really hate those guys. anytime i have ever called, i seriously wanna kill whoever im talking to.

WEST PALM BEACH -- A very drunk man who was walking home after arguing with his trader stumbled into a stranger's North Main Street house and passed out on an empty bed, where a stunned teenage girl found him snoring away when she got home at 12:30 a.m. Monday.The girl alerted her sleeping parents, who called police after seeing that their daughter wasn't making it up."Sure enough, there's a guy in the bed. I noticed his pants were on the floor," the father said at the home Monday evening. "He was three sheets to the wind."

The intoxicated man, who had riffled through the kitchen cabinets and taken a glass of water upstairs, mumbled gibberish when the family, and then police, tried to wake him.
The man - Bud Fox - was not arrested because the homeowners declined to press charges.

"I didn't think there was any evil intent on his part," said the homeowner, who didn't want to be identified.

His daughter, 18, said she didn't scream because she at first thought the stranger in her bed "was an old college friend of my dad."

The intruder, too intoxicated to make much sense, sat handcuffed in a police cruiser while police tried to figure out what had happened. A frantic trader out walking a dog provided the answer: The man in the cruiser was her trader, who "had a bad day". She was out looking for him because he hadn't come home after the couple argued in thier West Palm condo stablishment and went their separate ways.

ROFLLLLLLL

I sure hope the Fed talks to CEO's of our largest companies about economic conditions. Bunkerman aren't you always complaining about the incompetence of the 'economic bureaucrats' at the Fed. Surely you aren't complaining that they spoke to johnny boy.

Bud said...

Don't get me wrong Bunkerman. Even us virtual traders have a functional brain. I read all your posts with interest. I find many of your thoughts extremely fascinating and.....uh.....comical.

Bunkerman said...

I'm not complaining, Bud - I hope they talk to them now. In 2000 it's pretty obvious they weren't. I just thought it was interesting how Chambers answered / ducked question.

I alway listen / read carefully to what people say / write. I'm not an eisegetor. ;-)

My thinking on all these miners are that they are way undervalued and are takeover targets. I've posted before that I think China or Chinese companies will buy some of them.

I own good-sized positions in BHP, RTP, RIO, CLF, FCX, PCU, CCJ, BTU for long term plays.

Bunkerman said...

Those are Alpha Fund plays, by the way. Miners are about 15% of it.
