iPhone appears to be a sales success. Now it's gotta perform well.
One of my computers has the blue screen of death - nice homecoming surprise :-(( At least the on-site service contract has a month to go. That's the second Dell computer I have that seems to have some kind of hard disc problem. I wonder if they downgraded the quality of their hard drives a few years ago.
Uh, the world did NOT end over the weekend. Bears were wrong again ;-)
My home town definitely has the best pizza in the country. I had to go to another shop one evening. So I went to an old favorite shop from my high school days. Excellent. Pepperoni, onion, green peppers, black olive and mushrooms. :-))
I have to do some self-analysis this week about some trades - corn and natural gas. I've been really distracted the last few weeks and maybe missed something. Certainly the charts say so. I'm still long those, but gave up my profits and an very red now on those.
Stock futures are up solidly, perhaps due to new quarter money. The bears will hit the pop. Let's see if they have more ammo. The S&P cash chart shows a clear rectangular consolidation pattern. I suspect really buyers are putting money to work at the S&P cash 50 DMA.
Gee, some jerk suggesting we should let China has preferential treatment and sell harmful goods here. Are these guys just stupid?
Golly, WSJ says a prime Manhattan office building is going for $1,589 per sqare foot. That's a big price! I remember when $500 per square foot was considered a huge price. The article says the buyers are Europeans who see NYC as cheap vs. London, etc.
PS: Did anyone notice that oil hit $71 today? Demand is so strong. Prices have to rise to ration supply. The falling dollar makes oil cheaper in the rest of the world. $70 was a resistance on the weekly chart.

The fertilizer stocks still close to highs POT CF MOS TNH AGM.
Oh no!!...The blue screen of death. Last time I had that ...the computer couldn't really recover. Had to buy a new one.
The biggest problem for this market right now....is that I'm getting bullish. Going thru the charts over the weekend....definitley saw quite a number of stocks I want to buy.
I read with dismay over the weekend that the senate blocked repeal of the Tiarht amendment. A big victory for rogue gun dealers and the NRA. A defeat for peace loving law abiding persons like me. Disgusting and disgraceful.
Thanks Bud for that news that the freedom loving people defeated the oppressive power-mongers [aka anti-gun factions].
That will keep rich & powerful people like Bloomberg from suing honest gun dealers. And will protect the privacy of law abiding gun owners. A victory for freedom - very fitting for this week. :-))
Bunkerman baby picture...even then he preparing for the big one...

Why don't we just disarm ( and almost disband) law enforcemnet and give everybody a firearm? Seems like that would be cheaper.
Lmaoooooooooooo...........nice picture spin
roflmao Spin. good one. :-)
LOL spin. boy u looked shitty on saturday. i cant believe they brought u up, just after getting off the DL, and only playing double a ball.
i didnt know u were 6 ft 6?
OMG is the phillies season over. cant blame manuel, absolutely no pitching staff. and no bait to land a gud starter unless they wanna give up Rowland.
opps maybe someone will want burrel? he makes about 300k a hit. 13,500,000 and batting 200.
officially voted the biggest bust in phillies his. lance parish 2nd, then freddy garcia.
bud guns r like drugs. if they become illegal, gud people wont be able to defend our homes, if intruded. but trust me, the bad guys wud still be able to get them, and probably easier than now.
im getting more excited for the paris trip by the day, NOT! i mite as well paint an american flag on my bald head and make fun of the muslims in paris.
id say the gap up favors the bears
I figure the poparoo is index funds positioning new money. Although they probably want to buy the close, street firms might be averaging them in to protect buy on close orders.
We'll see if new sellers come in.
u think the natty gas is down becuase there hasnt been a hint of activity in the gulf since late may?
still really early in the hurricane season
No, I think it's due to the lack of really hot weather on the major coastal cities.
Good ISM number for mfg. So much stock is sold short and there are so many bears. I wonder how many months the subprime weakness can be their main theme? That one started in late February and that's over four monhts ago.
Buyers are stepping up in foreclosures and I get the impression lenders are trying to workout the problems.
As I posted in a comment last week, the losses in a mortgage are a lot less than in a corporate default for subordinated debt. So the subordinated piecves in the CDO get hurt, but the senior paper - the bulk of it - comes out OK except in a very severe recession like in 1973.
That's the mathematics of (properly) structured finance.
bunkerman....not all implement FASB 125 in the same manner and there is no pat formula for reconizing gians...at a mimimum it is not like anyone is marking to market on a daily basis. do you agree?
The 'real buyers' makin a fake virtual phony like me real happy today.
Phillies looked horrendous this weekend.
Fire Charlie manueal and hire mike hargrove.
Closed my nat gas. I don't see much hope for serious heat on the coasts. I missed that a few weeks ago. I remember thinking the models didn't have that, and pondered it a little. That was really stupid not to listen to that "little birdie" Darn. FUBAR trade. I put it onto the distractions & overconfidence.
the spinny HOKU play for this week holding support....that spinny has sweat touch for a big man, very ODEN like...lol
Yes, Frosty. Many don't or can't maek to market every day. BUT I think they have to mark to market on EOQ. Hence last week's weakness as losses were recognized.
Some long-term positions are just marked to market on books this week for accounting, but those are true private placements.
Closed my corn, too. I don't see a serious threat to pollination in the weather now. And some research said the additional acres are in high yeld states. So although I saw a lot of scrawney corn, I think I got a misleading impression. Again a FUBAR trade. I really screwed that up, not taking a nice profit on a stop around 410. I need a break. Too much overconfidence from prior successes.
Keeping the calls as they aren't worth much anyway.
Odalis Perez was scratched. Charlie
Manuel responded with a "veteran.'' Double A dandy Kyle Kendrick was 2-0 in three previous starts, and had been more than adequate in each. Yesterday, Double-K was Special-K.
Freddy Garcia has been green-lighted to begin soft-tossing today, 2 weeks into his most excellent Clearwater visit. And isn't
soft-tossing what the $10 million righthander with the labrum
"pathology'' and "fraying'' of the rotator cuff was doing all along? Garcia could return some time
after the All-Star break. Which All-Star break is not clear.
J.A. Happ, Saturday's emergency starter, has been mercifully
returned to Triple A Ottawa to resume his pitching education. And somebody named Anderson Garcia - or is it Garcia Anderson? - has been added to the weary south end of the bullpen.
It is unclear when Brett Myers will make his next Comcast
appearance - the one where he is showing pitching coach Rich Dubee where the right arm hurts. Then they walk to the clubhouse. It appears the accidental closer is more month-to-month than week-to-week, although the manager still points into the haze of a post All-Star return for Brett.
Finally, Tom Gordon is
expected to make an actual
rehab appearance this week in Clearwater. Flash, disabled since May 4 (retroactive to May 2), is approaching the 2-month mark in one of baseball history's slowest-healing rotator cuff "strains.''
In case you're just dying to see all these lame-armed pitchers back in the fray - pun intended - be careful what you wish for
bill conlin in the philly inquirer. LMAO!
hang in there bunkerman....grease your bearings, fiddle with the big tool and put some full metal jacket loads in the air....what ever it takes to tighten' up your play...me, I just kill something, puts everything back in perspective.
out of wheat & cocoa, too. I like both but need a clean slate to find some good trends to climb onto.
So I'm up 25% in commodites YTD versus my high of 42% a few weeks ago. No commodity postions any more except the worthless corn calls. Phooey FUBAR :-(((
Does killing something make you feel more like a man Frosty? You really are sickening.
Frsoty why don't you just buy yourself a german sports car instead ( enviro friendly of course) ....to overcome your 'inadequacy' issues.
POT is a monster.
Another reason I capitulated on the corn and nat gas was Friday's COT reports.
The beefers wre covering somewhat in last week's nat gas selloff. A bad sign.
And for corn, the beefer short position was still large. And I figure the farmers who planted those extra acres are going to be quick to lock in profits if they haven't already.
Definitely a cluster FUBAR. :-(((
uh Bud, I'm merely putting healthy, low fat, organic food on the table....it's not like I'm doing stem cell research.
mern, or anybody...say youre the Boss..think like the Boss...hot head....Torre has to go.....do you want another show no emotion guy like Torre again?...Who is your next manager?
mike schmidt
yankees will hire Bowa for about a minute. ;-)
I hope the yankees give torre an extension......and also especially roger clemens. Torre is an average manager that was handed the keys to a ferrari. Frosty the drunk cud have managed the late 90s yankees to world titles.
die yankees die!!!!!!!
the yankees starting staff is about as bad as philly. can u really blame the managers? i think the GM's, who signed these senoir citizens r more at fault.
also how can u have no talent at the triple A level?
manuel reminds me of a neutered manatee, but i dont think he is as bad as bowa. phils fired francona, who is now considered the best manager in the league. OF COURSE, d'oh :-(
Anyone have some good movies? My netflix list is very low.
B'man you like stupid comedies? Then i reccomend Waiting. About workin in a restaurant. Very funny. Even funnier if you smoke weed.
Yes, I like comedies. I put it on the list. I'll be watching in after a few drinks - that shold help.
Departed is a good flic. I know you will also like Blood Diamond. Dicaprio satrs in both and he is good.
Bulls in control today. Looks like i'll be able to afford an extra topping on my pizza tonite.
Triple feature
Bridge over river Kwai
Guns of Navarone
Dirty Dozen
Lmaoooo.....Bush and Putin. One's a liar and the other's a murderer.
W and putin doing a little fishing and PUTTING THINGS INTO PERSPECTIVE...amazing how men can enjoy an outdoor activity, bond and work to solve the worlds problems.
What's wrong with you spin? After watching those Bunkerman gonna go on a killing spree.......ala rambo. Lmaooooooooooo
Just listening to the president's voice makes me puke. I can't wait for jan 2009. Good riddance.
Hillary for president!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know those too well, Spin. Thanks.
There is almost no war movie I haven't seen five times.
I did put those two new Clint movies on the list re Iwo Jima.
Platoon is my favorite war movie.
good shepard was ok
if u like south park "team america" (puppets) is off the chain funny
i still like dodge ball and 40 yr old virgin
thought "walk the line" was great. actually watched some johnny cash live yesterday. phoenix and witherspoon did one helluva job singing like cash and carter.
"invicible" whether u like the eagles or not was very gud
bought "badder santa" at TGT the other day. man that movie makes me LOL. that is one dimented flic. billy bob and the midget r priceless!!!!!!!!!!
We watched Dr. Strangelove again a couple weeks ago. Super movie.
I was going to blog about it, but I figured I might be perceived as a nut. ;-)
I love the scene where Buck Turgidson [aka George C. Scott] imitates a B-52.
The nuclear bomb bursts at the end are really cool. They are real, by the way. I have a few tapes of nuclear bomb tests. For nuclear survival thinking, they are essential.
Yes, Walk the Line was excellent. I remember some of that actually happening from when I was young.
agree the departed was gud.
fave movie all time "pulp fiction"
another very very dark comedy is "happiness"
"dogma" another great dark comedy. dogma comes with a disclaimer if u a bible thumper dont watch :-)
ROFL bunkerman. just make sure one of those nukes hits my house and ill be on my way
Spin give up son....the Yankees are finished for years to come...
I think "Pork Chop Hill" is an excellent war movie. I read the book, too. Also, Hell is For Heroes"
Bud which one is the liar and which one is the murderer?
"I was going to blog about it, but I figured I might be perceived as a nut. ;-)"
rofl Bunkerman
WhataboutBob?.....family,bombs,vacation,corn,romance,and ohh yes...saaailing,
Roflmao mfl. That's for you to figure out. But there is no wrong answer.
I think Bunkerman would definitley like A Good Shephard. It's about how the birth of the CIA.
Bud is Ambushed still your favorite klan flick?
I put Good Shepard on. Thanks Mern, Bud.
Bud, If you like the Klan, Try the original "Birth of a Nation" ;-)
Put What aboutBob, Departed, Blood Diamond on. Thanks guys. If they suck, I can blame you when Mrs. B gives me that odd look ;-)
But prior picks Festival Express was a big winner, as was South Park. Ground Hog Day, too.
Lmaooooo Frosty. Not sure if Bunkerman figured out that was a joke. Won't be the first time B-man didn't get one of frosty's posts.
mmmmmmmmmmm, mmmmmmmmmm, mmmmmmmmmmm, mmmmmmmmmm Fay, is this hand shucked?
bill murray, what about bob.
"death therapy Bob, its a guaranteed care"
You mean you don't wear white on Halloween, Bud ? ;-))))
team america is my fave war flic
the theme song says it all
"america F-yeah, lick my azz, suck my bizalls" just goes down hill from their. in the unrated version their is a sex scene (with the puppets) that was edited out of the big screen version. they did that to escape the X rating
Uh, I did figure out Frosty was pulling your leg, Bud. ;-))
Roflmao Bunkerman........that made me cough up my drink. LOLOLOLOL
on halloween bud goes to boca raton, wraps a towel around his head and screams "alalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala" into crowded jewish restaurants
FAAAAAAYY...rofl......
I feel good...I fell great...I feel wonderful
I feel good... I feel great...I feel wonderful
I luv POT!
ive stopped out on POT. think ive gotta pee. so much for sleeping for the next few weeks.
i was watching a video of paris hilton smoking a huge bob marley joint. i guess she lied to larry king. im stunned. and after watching the video very jealous of her.
the worden wasnt down with the summer of mern before. now im just gonna be an unemployed bigger jerk.
maybe i shud just detox? ugh
frosty how long does that last? ;-)
The dollar fell to a 26-year low against the British pound Monday ahead of an expected rate hike by the Bank of England later this week.
looks like a great time to visit europe. i bet a crepe and beer is 35 bucks
mern...I can't get past step nine...that sweater you borrowed never has been right...mellon head. beside the fact that is always five o'clock somewhere.
that really doesnt sound like an apology :-)
originally when larry king asked paris her favorite passage of the bible she said "ummmm, step 9" but they cut that part out.
i may not know much but i do know if your best friends r lindsay lohan (rehab twice this yr), brittany (once) and nicole "heroin" richie. chances r u also have a drug problem.
there is simply no way to tolerate that type of behavior unless u on the same ride.
ill bet u my entire net worth she was heavily medicated in the can. id say 6 milligrams of xanax and 20 milligrams of lexapro, daily
Taking doggies for a walk - 4 miles. Peace.
Bunkerman...doggies for a walk, that dosn't sound good...john wayne is rolling in his grave...how about, taking the hounds on a rcon mission to check the outer bunker defense system?.:)
....git the women......and the childrrn...and load em in the wagon pilgrim
Rofl frosty....dogs for a walk? What's next ? bird watching? John Wayne nope ...more like Rock Hudson
OK Frosty - how about "taking the K9 unit on a patrol outside the kill zone"?
