Global warming has been delayed. Weather here is driving snow and 20F temperature.
There are reports of more hedge fund liquidations, and the public seems to be selling out of equities.
AIG reports huge losses and gets more support - no surprise.
HBC is doing a private rights issue. HBC seems to be the only bank in the world that is able to raise capital privately now. I own some and will take up my rights, buying more stock at the offer price when it comes.
Futures are down big as are European stocks - usually this means a bad day.
I arose late this morning - may post more later.

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.

Good news for bulls like yourself Bunkerman...I heard Kudlow on the radio on Saturday...he and his panoply ($10) of colorful ties are so bearish its scary....
lol
Kudlow dresses well, but I dislike those white collars with a striped shirt. I never liked those - very pompous in my humble opinion.
My ties are more colorful, btw.
Last trip to NYC, again several women came up to me with compliments.
Or is it my good looks - nahhhhh.
Bunk rumors by posters and non posters are rampant about your looks.....what "famous" person best describes you?.....btw I say George Gobel
attoney general of the US wants to take your guns away Bman............damn the 2nd amendment
according to him 2nd amendment was for militias........not private citizens
I guess he forgot to read the Supreme Court decision from last year.
Obama should tell him to shut up - or he'll endanger that D majority in the House.
Hmmm I need to think about that.
just volunteer...thats all you need to do.....your time,your taxes,your guns,your rights..ect.....mern..what have you done???..pfftttt
talk like that definitely explains the action in RGR and SWHC
hope it was worth that hundo bet mern.....
yes, people go out & buy whenever bans are a public issue.
I see IP cut its dividend (no position), to be able to pay down debt.
So when stock prices are high, the geniuses - above average - managemetn buy back stock instead o fpaying down debt, and when stock prices are low, they cut teh dividends to "pay down debt".
I think top financial management of almost every company is now proving to be grossly incomptetent at best or simply looters at worst.
Cut their pay bigtime.
Stockholders really need power - real power.

lool that didnt work ..was a pic of george G
lets play a game.
where were u 5/1/97?
i was doing about 5 grand a month in gross, and just trying to survive. my net worth was 0. i was dating a 21 yr old with a 3 yr old daughter.
i lived in a house, on the water, with my old partner who tried to steal all my clients when i moved to shields.
we lived together for 6 months and didnt speak.
i did lite bottle rockets under his door, at night, when he tried to sleep.
cherise was a puppy and most of her puppy poop wound up in roomates bed.
he was 6'4, 250 and never wanted to just get it over with and fight it out like men.
the other room mate moved in feb, because he cudnt deal with the situation.
Bunkerman do you regret giving Ron Insana money to start his hedge fund?
mern...couldnt you say "sorry" and shake hands?
shake hands
lmaooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
haha re Insana ... if I ever give money to a hedge fund, tell Mrs. B to have me committed.
what did i have to be sorry for?
he tried to steal my clients. called my clients and family and said terrible terrible, untrue things about me.
and if u think im kidding, if i hadnt warned everyone about the chatty 101 playbook, i may have never gotten my book over.
my best friend, roomate, whatever. suggested he wud do whatever he cud to help me tat my clients.
here was the rub. he wanted to work at shield too. they hired me, becuase im not a crook, and they wudnt hire him becuase he was.
1 day, shortly after joining shields, my phone rang off the hook with friends from chatty, suggesting i shud be really upset with my roomate.
when i found out what he did. all 5'8 of me went home and confronted his fat ass.
he sat down in a chair, balled up, and said if i hit him he wud call the cops.
3rd roomate actually helped blow his room up and put dog shit in his bed.
josh and i r still best friends, but he cudnt live with the 2 of us. once the lease was up i moved to clearwater.
what my roomate did was illegal and just so off the chain insane, im still pissed.
heres an actual quote, to my uncle.
"i like mark, live with him, hes smart, but the crack has him!"
chatty 101. again i warned my clients before i left. it actually helped get some people off the fence becuase once he called they got scared. and they shud have.
boiler room, pffffffft, that movie was not realistic, real world much much much worse!
great it looks like d mac has played his last game as an iggle.
he wants additions.
i think banner and lurie just gave him a big FU.
dawk they cud have signed him for 8mil over 2 yrs with the 2nd yr being conditional.
c buck, well, imvho has more tread on the tires than westy.
not going after ward, or TJ.
and all indications r the birds who r 40 mil under the cap, want to stay about 30 mil under the cap.
"gold standard" wtf is lurie taking about? ya his investment has done great, and he is the biggest cock tease of all time.
for the crack....letting your "parter"(who was doing all the work) down..????
with Eagle QB history..... maybe theyre savin up for Farve???
or perhaps they plan to draft Michael Teel...
oh maaan..who would you cheer for then mike...worlds colliding..lool
I despise the Eagles....not even a question...
thats it....Im withya brother....
