Uhhhh

That's me groaning as I am still fighting this illness. It's a moving target and hard to hit as it moves and morphs in me.

$^#&$% - I discovered I screwed up and did not buy IDSA. So now I'll have to wait for a pullback if one occurs.

Word of the Day

"Diglossia" - noun [$100]
Diglossia means 1. the widespread existence within a society of sharply divergent formal and informal varieties of a language used in different social contexts or for performing different functions, as the existence of Katharevuia and Demotic in modern Greece; 2. (pathology) the presence of two tongues or of a single tongue divided in two parts.
Sentence: A spoken example of diglossia in America is the use of the eubonics dialect in many black communities for spoken English concurrent with standard English as the written language. Another new example would be the used the new evolving text message dialect for short written notes with standard English for longer, formal writing. Considered with an oral dialect such as eubonics or Valley-speak, arguably America now has triglossia.

Bunkerman said...

The recent improvements in the corporate bond markets are quite good news not being noticed much.

Frosty said...

Bunkerman said...

FCT has worked well, frosty - thanks. Obama Fund owns it.

Spin-em said...

Bud ..Liz sayin you havent seen much action lately..whats the problem...girfen run for the hills at xmas?

Bunkerman said...

I just got a book of "insults" by Samuel Johnson - very interesting

"A compendium of Snubs, Sneers, Slights, and Effronteries from the 18th Century"

Samples:

"putid" from Latin putidus - mean, low, worthless.

"rake" [from either French 'racaille', the low rabble, or the Dutch 'rekel', a worthless cur dog]: a loose, disorderly, vicious, wild, gay, thoughtless fellow; a man addicted to pleasure.

Hmmm ...

Bunkerman said...

another good one:

"asshead" - one of slow apprehension; a blockhead.

Of course "knave" is an entry -
a petty rascal; a scoundrel a dishonest fellow.

Knave seems to be a synonym for politician

;)

mfl59 said...

as a real buyer are you plowing into some adds here Bunkerman? or has "jim" urged you to be cautious?

Bunkerman said...

Not cautious.

I'm just waiting for the selling to dry up, then will add to Obama Fund longs.

I still don't feel well, so am not too energetically looking now.

If they'd knock IDSA down to the 5's, I'll buy some.

Bunkerman said...

I see a couple other positions that might be worth an add. No rush.

Making adds too fast is dangerous.

Bud said...

lemme get this right ??? you guys are talkin about my 'personal life' in ur 'private emails ' ???



PS......frosty sounds like a 'rake'......you know......since he's a faggot

Bunkerman said...

I think that usage of "gay" was older, before the modern usage.

Perhaps "meacock": a uxorious or effeminate man.

"uxorious" means excessively submissive or devoted to one's wife.

That's a good $10 word !

I'm trying to elevate our discourse.

;)

Spin-em said...

looool

Frosty said...

bravo Bunky...spare the rod spoil the child...we know how much your son luv's the rod.

Spin-em said...

good insult dvd for ya bunk....CPO Sharkey....bud sits on jims lap as they watch it on the big screen....he's his lil hockey puck...loooooooooool

Bunkerman said...

lolol here's a good one:

"stockjobber" - a low wretch who gets money buying and selling shares in the funds.

Bunkerman said...

I wonder what Samuel Johnson would have called the head tanker ?

Bunkerman said...

Samuel Johnson sure had a lot of words to mean "low wretch"

;)
