Maybe today will be dull. I've had enough bullriding for awhile.
Oil is up $1 to $77. Brent is about on par with WTI.
AAPL report sounded good. Long AAPL in the Alpha Fund.
I think I'll add to my BAC position today. I like it a lot.
Not much news.
Sheesh. Now my new Vista computer is having trouble. This is the third problem I've had with Dell computers in a month. I'm really wondering if they are using shoddy components. Arghhhhh!
PS: I added money to my Alpha Fund and bought more BAC and a little MS, C, and JPM. I'm about 40% of my planned big position in the big cap financials. I might add more at the close, Friday or Monday. If not then, I'll wait a few weeks.
PPS: I checked my Blue Book of 12-year charts with earnings. I think these big cap fins [aka financials] are very undervalued vs. their long term earnings trends; even more considering interest rates are so low. I'll try to get 50% of my position in soon.
P^3S: Got my 50% position in financials for the Alpha Fund [BAC biggest, then C, JPM, MS]. Will wait awhile for the rest - time matters. I'll check the Krypto Fund early AM to see if I need to re-allocate some bonds to US stocks.
About Me
- Bunkerman
- I have a pioneer mentality. My wife & I live in the woods - neighbors aren't visible except slightly in winter. Our "bunker" - hehe, really a fine home & barn - has plenty of security. We have four dogs: Krypto (age 9, Kelpie), Ava (age 13, Rat Terrier), Sky (Kelpie, age 5) and Lucky Star (age 1, kelpie). I don't take crap from anyone anymore, having enough resources & gear stocked up to survive in any circumstance. I have three degrees from Harvard including a Ph. D. in a physical science, and an MS in Management from MIT. I worked as an investment banker for about 25 years, mainly in secured finance, at three major Wall Street firms and for the last 17 years with my partners at our own firm. I'm semi-retired now, managing some private corporations and business interests and doing my own trading & investing. This is not to boast, but to give you an idea I know a little about some subjects from experience. The photo is my 1943 M16 half-track which I am restoring. These armored vehicles were ubiquitous in the US Army in World War II and Korea. It's driveable.

Hmmm. Spoos gettin pounded this morning. I wonder why. They were up last nite when i went to bed on AAPL euphoria.
Why do you have so many computer problems? I hate to say that cuz that surely will 'jinx' me. I uses windows xp-professional and i'm pretty sure we uses the same 'type' of programs.
Spoos now gettin tattooed. Down 16.
Front page newyorktimes article today on Bush administration overhauling care of wounded GI's. What a joke Bush and Cheney are. 4 years into a war and 7 years after bein in office ....now they realize GI's need better care. Didn't Cheney say during 2000 campaign..'help is on the way'. Dick Cheney is a lowlife punk. I hold street pimps in higher regard.
My paper trade record in tact. AAPL opened and traded down to 130.
Wake up frosty. I need stox to buy.......i think this gap down can be bought.
Bman, vista is the jinx.
Sheesh Two hours on Dell support. THey seem to have fixdd it. Suspect: a windows update grrrr.
Dunno Bud. I never had any problems for years and am running the same programs I always did.
The other problems are on XP. I got boot.ini erros adn kernel_stack_input_errors. Two separate computers.
I never change anything. Wierd.
Hey, was there hidden meaning in that "strapped" comment yesterday. Frosty hinted it, them mern says something about me liking guys in an email?
Are you taking advantage of my naivety?
Hmmm I re-read the one about Mrs. B being "strapped". Maybe that's it. I can imagine what a sick mind might think.
B'man. When I mentioned 'strapped'....i only meant that 'mrs B was goin to bed with a loaded revolver'. No hidden or alternate usage. Frosty is a disgusting pig. His mind is in the gutter. Don't listen to him. And mern's mind? ....well....lmaoooooooooo
PS. The hidden meaning has nuthin to do with you likin guys. Sheeesh frosty....look what you started now. You really are repulsive.
Exactly B'man. Frosty is sick and dirty and repugnant.
Hmmm Looks like Frosty's gap to be filled.
Is FTEK beginnng a death spiral? downgrade today.
I wonder if this selling is Euro-beefers getting liquidated?
That's part of it B. Cashin just said hedge funds are in 'lockdown' mode. You can't get your money out. When that happens.....you sell what you can.
I wonder it I should put more money into my Alpha Fund. Hmmm. Thinking. Maybe I'll get some financials really cheap.
Heck, I can get a huge dividend on BAC. More than I make in interest in my bank account and it's tax rate is less.
This week is symptomatic of too much money in hedge funds chasing returns. They fail to get it & then try harder to force it creating lots of churn & turmoil. And when they fail, heck, it's not their money anyway.
Rofl....'not their money anyway'. Ridiculous. If they lose their clients money...they will be out of work and start a career as a bartender or bus driver.
Lynch mob ready and waiting in Richmond today.
Indeed maverick. They gonna be in their white robes and hoods too. Fuckin racist scumbags.
this is Bunkerman's fault...refused to hand out the dow 14000 caps....I want a refund, this blog is a rip off.
CMI...who ever shorted it off my post...send me your address and I will forward your refund.
I probably caused it with two things: (a) the S&P futures re-mount, and (b) posting that 51% YTD gain the the Alpha Fund. For were bad karma. :-((
Frosty I did short CMI but made it back long. I think I still qualify for the refund. Send to
KKK
123 west main st.
Richmond,VA
Rofl maverick. I knew it!! Vindicated again.
No bad karma B'man. I think you are grossly underestimating the credit problems related to subprimes.
Lol 'sorry'. Shut up frosty. No need to apologize. We are all big boys here....now that mern left. lmaoooooooooooooo
I think this is just underperforming beefers panicking. We're back a the drying water hole and the elephants are stomping around.
Unemployment claims were pretty low this AM.
My gun dealer did say sales were slow, though.
CNBC just hit the nail on the head....it is the Dem's fault...tax tax tax....this is the hildog decline.
trading curbs....what a bunch of crap.
CNBC = Babble-vision today. Phooey!
I think I now know who's at fault for the crap tape...it is Spinny's fault...this started as soon as he turned me on to john from cinn....."The end is near"
Hey Frosty, have they filled your gap yet?
Beefers who like to play in the Rut are really sucking wind now. Year's gains almost gone.
"Mission accomplished" W
I put more money in my Alpha Fund. Bought more BAC, some C some JPM, some MS. Might buy more at close or Friday or Monday.
Uh B'man. Beefers, vrtual, real etc..... everyone who's long is down today. Market doesn't differentiate between them.
I know, Bud. But I think it helps one understand the market by understanding the major players and what might be happening to them.
Jon from cinci. That's a good show frosty.
Bman.. C has employed a full staff of pearl divers and they are earning their wages today.
Anyone have good big-cap fins, other than GS?
MF BX FIG
Good news. Some 'rich and powerful' friends of mine invited a poor simple common man like me to play golf. Had a real good day, gettin outta here.
Bush sucks.
Cheney sucks.
die GOP die!!
democrats rock!
long live hillary.
PS. Frosty voted for W and cheney.....twice!...huh?....How can you live with yourself?
"t is Spinny's fault...this started as soon as he turned me on to john from cinn"
not me....Zippy told me to tell ya.....eek..eek
Mission accomplished...lmao
Bud..Way to throw frosty under the bus....rofl
Oh Bud. there are no poor golfers. that's an oxymoron.
trading curbs suck....this decline would be over already and we would be putting in a panic low, the weak and stupid would dead...so we grind and bleed...instead of looking for a bottom we would have one... #*@%^$ curbs
uh Frosty, there weren't curbs in 1987. The bottom never got hit that Monday. Limits help in commodity markets - give people a breather to re-think. Stocks are just a commodity style market now anyway without the uptick rule.
Margin calls at 2PM today, I guess.
I wonder if we get a record Dow point drop today? I know the points aren't the same as 1987, but that would be a huge headline.
Looks like the Rut is now negative for the year.
DIE market DIE....in memory of Mern
dow looking for daily -500 and comp -100 release those curbs!!!
picked the wrong day to stop drinking.
Black Monday 1987 - I remember it well - DJIA was down 508 pts.
Quiet Day? yet another reason this is all Bunkerman's fault.
well Kenny Hebner likes your BAC
Bman
as soon as mern leaves the bear begins...he was more bearish than david tice
anyone have the ticker for WU Tang Financial? think I want to dip my toes into the fins.
Mern predicted a crash after he stopped trading.
Well, it was quiet when I wrote that around 5AM. I couldn't figure out what the write. Nothing was happening.
Hmmm I know I'm paranoid, but is it an accident this happens soon after the uptick rule is dropped? Nahhh ... couldn't be anything but a coincidence. roflmao.
Don't Worry, Be Happy!
The World is Fine.
Peace on Earth ;-)
you boys watch your selfs the next few days and play smart....Bunkerman, I changed my mind, forget my refund.
thats the spirit Bunkerman
Let the Rocks flow freely Frostman..enjoy your time off... you deserve it
A great opportunity in SWC, which had been battered down 25% in 4 days by a desperate concentrated short who is unable to unwind its huge short position. Expect some great resersal tomorrow because this is one absolutely oversold stock with very bullish fundamentals.
I have done my research and explained everything about this concentrated short. Follow my link and do your own DD.
This is a rare opportunity you do NOT want to miss tomorrow. At least 10% profit in one day!!!
