Mrs. B and I go to London tomorrow for about a week. There will be no new blog post until Tuesday, May 5. I need some culture and have planned visits to the British Museum, National Gallery, Tate Gallery and Wallace Collection, among others. The British Museum is easily worth two days or more to see the antiquities, which will complement my recent CD courses on the ancient cultures of Egypt, Sumeria, Babylon, Assyria, Greece and Rome.
I see we get to travel while the world panics on this swine flu fears. What is it about modern society that seeks to panic ? We lived through SARS, bird flu and now a reprise of swine flu. Of course precautions should be taken. But a panic ?
Beefers are slinging around preplanned shorts to try to create some more fear and bag a few dollars for their pockets.
Maybe I'll get the pullback I've been awaiting to deploy my new capital.
Word of the Day
"Enclitic" - adjective & noun [$10] Grammatical, from by language studies
Enclititc means (adjective, of a word) pronounced with so little emphasis that it forms part of the preceeding word; (noun) such a word, as the 'not' in 'cannot'.
Sentence: Grammatical endings in many languages arise from separate words indicating grammar becoming enclitics over long periods of time.
Le Mot du Jour
"Pagaille" - noun, feminine (variant spelling pagaïe)
Pagaille means mess, shambles; chaos. This is a polite alternative to the word in Friday's translation of FUBAR - see comments. Pagaille complète means screw-up.
La Phrase: Cette panique de grippe porscine sera une pagaille complète.
Sentence: This swine flu panic will be a screw-up.
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.

Bunky you and Mrs B have a great time...can aazzhead guest blog...bunkerboyz would dig that...as would fat al.
are you going to hop over to France and test your new skills Bunkerman?
not going to France - just a week. I'd like to first test my skills in Quebec later this year.
the problem with guest blogging is I'd have to give out my password - you can imagine the problems that might cause if someone could impersonate me.
looks like I don't get my dip today. Oh well.
ROFLMAOOOOOO..I wouldnt trust azzhead either......
uh Bunky...certain he had a body cavity search down at the blue oyster this weekend...besides, he may have access to nukes by the time you return....just sayen.

Got a small squad of ex-Blackwater mercenaries, too, in case the passive measures don't keep 'em out.

how do you feed the dogs ?
What fool would leave his armory & base unguarded ? Sheesh ...
Kelpies go to sheep herding school; terriers to a private home - friend of Mrs. B.
Enjoy the fun this week.
Live long and prosper Marko!!
AAZZHEAD...where are you...can I go a week without stomping on your sack.
I don't think so
Bud you must be next in line for marko's gig son...you are very similar to Kent from the movie Real Genius...
Bud being "Mr Adult" in bunker til a stage callup is official..if its not him..the F's and douchebags will be flyin again....lmaooooooo
a azzkisser "le aquarium de requiens c'est en fue !!!!"......couldnt hurt could it?...I dont think so
Bud MIA...him and his paki friends spreading the pigflu and shorting futures...nonono time for bs...die westworld die.
Spin wants to know your yhoo hcp on the monkey bars
all i have to say is this being sober crap is BORING!!!!!!!
with that said, if i continue to live like this, i wont even need to go back to work.
my nut is a grand maybe less. LOL
i dont eat much. all vices gone. cable and dog food r my biggest expenses.
im looking into some popular franchises, its a maybe. at least ive owned my own business and know what i liked and didnt.
i may just become a modern day sam malone and buy a beef o bradys. hell i practically kept one in business all by myself for 3 years. i dont know though. young waitresses and beer. i dont know if i cud handle on that and not go down the shitter.
the job market is basically horrific. i cant even get an interview. still not a bid on my house, not 1.
been playing NVAX (yes i hit the ole crack pipe). took a mark at the open, will look to add, stop near mondays low.
DNDN going to 10, but will it hit 50 first?
time to buy SLV in the IRA? i think so, for the long term, ie years.
atta boy mern...I knew you would be back...welcome home bro.
hi mern
"just when i thought i was out...they pull me back in"
good luck merny!!!...no Sam Malone...its real work
its not the work im afraid of. i dont think i should be around beer for moons..........
dont really miss it, but ive taken myself out of the element.
sixers and phillies arent nearly as fun to watch.
maybe i can apply to be in the starting rotation. u just need an ERA of 8, with those bats, and you could win 20 games.
i love watching guys trip over a blade of grass and get hurt, like hamels.
i forget do i add to the NVAX here?
Mern I thought you were a big old bear...your confusing me.
ooohhh...pitch in the dirt...I got it...strike one.
what does being bullish or bearish have to do with POS high beta hype deals?
u put any DNDN out yet?
DNDN long from buys 16.50 and 17...sold most near 22, still have a marker on the sheets.
do u know what percentage is short?
can u even get a borrow.
im just flipping an IRA.
my munis ripped this past month, now im green since i put the money there, 13 months ago. up about 2.3% net, but that includes the dividends.
no current stats DNDN short, was 19.75 short ratio, but that is long gone...everyone that covers has upgraded range 25-38...could pick up some new coverage...wouldn't want to see it trade under 19.75.
does anyone have the T2108 number, please ?
T2108 91.68
thanks mav
aazzhead where are you...get the job down at the carh wash...packing the shinebox out at the airport...homeland in search of nukes.
