Futures are up small.
Corn is up. Soybeans, too.
Not much news. More later - I have to take Spikie to the groomer early today.
PS: Another guy saying, "we've gotten a year's worth of returns in five months." Such pessimism. Are there any really bulls out there except me?
PPS: And another guy saying the consumer is "spent up". Sheesh. At 4.5% unemployment rate, are these guys delusional or stupid?
P^3S: Barron's was thin gruel this weekend. Their roundtable of fund managers - what a waste of print. Just trying to "manufacture" some news.
P^4S: I saw that Pelosi is richer than the top three Republicans combined. Sheesh. She has no idea how the common man struggles to make a living. A limousine liberal wearing pearls ;-)
P^5S: I concede that Lyndon doesn't have a clue about that, either.
The Pin Shoot was a disapointment. The guy running the event & I were the only people there. The weather was really fine, too. Maybe too fine. So I capped off a couple boxes of cartridges to restore my muscle memory & skill and called it a day.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the other guys were busy lobbying their congressman to keep the Tiarht amendment. I wonder why the gun lobby is so interested in protecting rogue gun dealers and not the public. Nancy Pelosi is gonna try to repeal it. I hope she is successful.
ReplyDeleteThat's crap, Bud. The BATFE is the law enforcent agency with that data - are you saying they don't do a good job?
ReplyDeleteThe trial lawyers just want to sue some guy because a criminal fools him. Bloomberg is already doing that. Government by trial lawyer & rogue judge - that's the liberal ideal of power.
I guess you don't believe in privacy, either. Those traces might pass thru several honest people whose names & safety get smeared.
Does being rich disqualify you from takin up the case for the working poor? Pelosi's net worth irrelevant. What she does as speaker to help poor people is what is rlelvant. Of course the right wing will try to 'distract' from the real issues and launch personal attacks. It won't work.
ReplyDeleteRoflmao ...'criminals fool him.' Bartenders get 'fooled' by underage drinkers with false id's all the time. These gun dealers are in it to make a buck....they don't care who they sell to. Are you saying all 100% of gun dealers are honest? That's impressive.
ReplyDeleteShe doesn't do anything to help the working poor. All she does is lobby for more bureaucrats. And give pork to help her husband's investments. She tried to let tuna canners keep wages of their workers down until she was caught. She's just a corrupt, DC-focussed member of the rich & powerful ruling class who have no idea what the working poor need or want.
ReplyDeleteuh, Bud, did you know that all sales thru gun dealers include a check with the federal database of criminals?
ReplyDeleteI see you sidestepped the privacy issue. hehe.
A case in point. Recent INS enforcement efforts caused some firms to have to actually TRY to hire American citizens or legal residents for some of those so-called jobs no American wanted. And lo & behold, with a some wage & benefit improvement, American citizens lined up to get hired. Many were blacks from poor areas. This is documented in numerous places. So that argument has been proven FALSE.
ReplyDeleteSo is Nancy Pelosi doing ANYTHING to preserve those wage & job gains or the "working poor"? NO!
[btw, I favor much immigration, but not to serve as competition to the poor or help pad the profits of big business.]

What would you say if I told you that food supplies are at their lowest levels in 35 years, while the number of acres being planted for food grains is at its lowest level over the same period? It sounds to us like a great supply/demand relationship for higher agriculture prices.
geesh, rm, now using scotts stuff. i used to cold call with him in 94. last time i checked he was too poor to pay attention but that was in 2004. maybe hes rich now
I guess she wants more cheap labor for her non-union winery. Sheesh, what a hypocrit!
ReplyDeleteUh, Mern, you can edit those ads out, by the way. And the extra line feeds or paragraph marks. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe supply demand situation helps set up the weather plays, yes.
i caught 3 grouper yesterday
ReplyDeleteunfortunately none were bigger than buds manhood and had to throw em back
:-(
die PHILLIES die!!!!!!!!!
john daly on 60 minutes last nite. he is tigers polar opposite. smokes two packs a day and sounds like drinks a 12 pack, but as long as he stays away for the jack daniels, he is fine. ROFL!!!!!
South Park should have a blast with a Nancy Pelosi parody. I hope they are doing one ;-)
ReplyDeleteya sorry for copying so much i didnt realize till hitting the publish icon.
ReplyDeletethe last time i really got into with scott was october of 2000. nasdaq was near 4k. i was telling we were gonna get hammered. we got into a huge argument, he told me i was an idiot. he then preceeded to blow up his book into a paragraph.
we rarely spoke after that, until i left shields in 2003.
bud u see "lil bush" yet? i watch it like twice a day and still think its the funniest thing ever. "come on gang, lets go bag dad a gift" lil bush, LMAO
id quote chenney but he really doesnt say anything. but as they say, actions speak louder than words :-)
and just how does he end up in barbara bush uterus?
At least I don't need a gun in my hands to prove my manhood.
ReplyDeleteOoops.Not yet. Just set the tivo so won't miss it .
ReplyDeleteshe needs to make some real headline news for trey and matt to pick on her. probably 5 new episodes come octoberish
ReplyDeletei dont need a gun to prove my manhood, but i do like having one in the bedroom, for 2 reasons.
ReplyDelete1 wud be in an intruder ever broke into my house.
2. if i ever catch the warden in the bed with the lawn boy, ill need it then, as well
hoping you boys slipped a little JSDA on to the sheets friday. even if you are flipped it for 500 bps this morning.....VSR, spinny with the typical golden touch....coal down grades, give me a break...lol
ReplyDeleteBack from the bank ... again. Gee, some of my woods looks like a fox colony with so many holes in the ground ;-)
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'll plant daffodils in them this fall.
I think I'll hire Brink's next time. That was my weightlifting workout for the day ;-)
not much of an options hang over this morning even after a huge three day bender to end the week...heck even mern would need a couple of advil and a nap today...bunkerman, just wait until you have to harvest profits in all that corn, hope you have a train that passes near the bunker so you can avoid hauling all those bags into town...lol
ReplyDeleteI don't see what manhood has to do with firearms. Women need a pistol more than men do. It's the equalizer. The police take 10 minutes to get here (I timed them). With my dogs to slow the bad guys down, my wife can get her pistol & deal with them. She's taken classes & the local police complimented her on her skill. I could handle them with a knife or bat probably, but she needs a pistol. ;-)
ReplyDeleteAnti-gun nuts want women to be dependent on the male dominated society. ;-)
True frosty. I have many freight car loads of corn lolol
ReplyDeletefyi, a contract of 5,000 bushels is "roughly" the amount a covered hopper rail car carries.
lol...let see if TRR gets going...whoever pumps it first is the guy doing all the painting..".I mean buying"..lmao.but the sharkies will come...lol
ReplyDeleteto respond to an earlier post, bunkerman...mr. jimmie cramer is as bullish as you are....
ReplyDeleteFrosty i thought you were goin on vacation. What happened? The trailer wouldn't start?
ReplyDeleteI luv nancy pelosi!!! I bet she was pretty hot in her days.
ReplyDeleteUTEK....mern why are you planning to hold it for a year or is that just your way of saying it is a long term investment? I took profits on 75% off your post, so thanks for that, but any company with ultra in the name tends to turn into an ultra pig and soon heads for bankruptcy, lol.
ReplyDeleteI will be taking off for a fishing trip so tuesday is it for me this week. I see the market taking a little break, making a higher low before attempting to rock record highs into the end of the quarter and hence I have sold the rest of that market postion from last tuesday.
bub, no the trailer is out and I will be cleaning and stocking a little food and tons of beer this afternoon. the boat is already at the coast waiting and my redneck buddies are gathering as we speak. sure wish you could make the trip, never have enough chum...lol
Uh Oh, mfl. Not the company I prefer.
ReplyDeleteI knew it! :-) More proof that Bud uses his [___] instead of his brain for his politics ;-)
ReplyDeleteRoflmao...'chum'.
ReplyDeleteUTEK, lol i had the wrong ticker. it was UTK and i passed. i made 64 bucks on UTEK.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna buy an iPhone. I have an old crappy cellphone I carry for emergencies & no iPod. So I can get two devices as one. I'll be able to listen to Glenn Miller or Frank Sinatra on the iPhone - at least getting some use out of a device I need to carry anyway. An easy choice for me.
ReplyDeletefrosty i dont think the salmon like skinny pakistany "chum"
ReplyDeletelol
stern looks like gud chum material, he is nice and puggy.
id bet the iphone battery is the possible negative. both my ipods batteries r just bad.
ReplyDeletealso bet harder to find one the a nintendo wii before last xmas
I'll be out a few hours. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteMern you check out Jonfromcincinnatti yet? I'm gonna watch Festivalexpress tonite.
ReplyDeleteHoly smokes. Thankfully i stopped fading frosty. JSDA rippin now.
ReplyDeletejohn is in the netflix rotation.
ReplyDeleteWell that will take a year. It's the show on at sundays at 9 on hbo. Idiot.
ReplyDeleteBunkerman where is crude resistance?
ReplyDeleteoh, then ill watch it on demand
ReplyDeleteGood. There are some scenes in it with drug use....I have to ask you about. Not that you're a drug user but you seem to have alot of knowledge on this subject. Lololol
