Nothing is happening. Obama is still on a world tour. Does he ever do anything except bloviate? And rob bondholders?
Rio Tinto's trenches collapsed - that is, the scorched earth anti-takeover sale of core assets to Chinalco to defend against BHP cratered. Obviously RTP top management should be all fired.
It's still raining cabinet ministers in the UK.
According to a poll conducted by Le Figaro, Americans and French people appreciate each other anew in equal amounts: about 47% have a favorable opinion of the other, vs. around 30% four years ago. The unfavorable opinion levels are in single digits now. A link follows.

Tomorrow is the 65th anniversary of D-Day. I read in Le Figaro and Le Monde that Obama will visit Normandy. Let's hope he makes a good speech. I wonder if he can approach the moving speech of Ronald Reagan in 1984?
The movie, THE LONGEST DAY [as corrected] is really good and quite authentic. I have read a lot of nonfiction history and can confirm its quality. Also, the movie follows the book by Cornelius Ryan quite closely, too. I'll watch the movie again tomorrow - yes, I have the DVD.
Mozillo charged with insider trading. Finally, a big shot might pay for his greed. What a hog at the trough !!!
Futures are up ... for now.
Word of the Day
"Repristinate" - verb, transitive [$10]
Repristinate means to restore to an original state or condition.
Sentence: The investment strategy of the Obama Fund is that Battleship Ben plus Obama's weak stimulus plan will be able to repristinate the US economy. If so, large profits will ensue. So far, it's working.
Le Mot du Jour
"Ressentir" - transitive verb, conjugates like partir or sentir
Ressentir mand to feel, to experience, to be affected by.
La Phrase: Selon le sondage, 47% d'Américanes ressentent la sympathie pour la France maintenant. Peut-être, je suis à l'avant-guarde de nouveau intérêt à la langue française.
Sentence: According to the poll, 47% of Americans feel friendship for France now. Perhaps I am in the vanguard of new interest in the French language?
By the way, "la sympathie" means liking, friendship in this usage, not sympathy.
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.

Geh zum Teufel bob !!!!!

Mrs. B's Sky Fund bought LOW ... Sky Fund crushed the market on the drop last year, beating it by over 20 pts.
And it's outperforming this year, too.
Not bad for little work.
How many traders are up 60% this year on their ENTIRE equity amount?
sheesh, Bud, frosty will still be in his sleeping bag clutching his hunting rifle when that jobs numbers comes out at 8:30.
I'd like to see less than 600K jobs lost. But I might not get it.
karl rove has an article in wsj today about obama's phantom jobs
the market has built-in 500k plus job losses a month for the rest of the year............bad for the economy...........the only positive is american companies are gettin lean and mean.......and also gettin rid of the.....well....
'hogs at the trough'
hunting rifle ugh
what a scumbag !!! shooting at innocent animals for entertainment purposes..........Bman were you ever a hunter ?
yield over 3.75 now
at what point do you get concerned Bman ?
I would start to become be concerned at 5% for 10 year.
No, I have never hunted (except once - ducks, missed, but the outing was fun). I practice with my firearms for other reasons.
I have nothing against hunting or hunters and support the sport. In reality, without funds from hunting-based taxes, fees, etc, a huge amount of would not occur and land for animals would be lost.
Hunters value the game and are true conservationists, not the greenies.
a huge amount of conservation would no occur.
editing mistake.
May Nonfarm Payrolls -345K vs -520K consensus, prior revised to -504K from -539K

Bunkerman was right.
Bman why is dollar flying now ??

'helluva call bob'
currencies rise on a stronger economy, hence the dollar.
simply a stronger US conomy creates more demand for dollars for trade, etc.
Come on Bud...I'm not swinging at that nonsense...
Feb 2010 indeed...game taking shape....

Jim Cramer: You Are Missing A Bull Market
Jim Cramer, host of CNBC’s Mad Money, says stocks are still headed higher.
“Say it with me, it’s a huge bull market rally,” Cramer bellowed on his show. “Any pullback will be a selloff in a bull market.”
Cramer blasts those who won’t climb aboard the bull.
“How much higher do stocks have to rally before the chorus of doomsayers and legions of negative Nancys admit that the move is for real?” he asks rhetorically.
“Let’s say the Dow Jones Average goes to 9500. How about if the S&P 500 goes up another 10 percent? Is that still a bear market rally?”
didnt he say 7 months ago that if u needed money in the next 5 yrs to sell and not get back in?
yes jim its still a bear market rally and u just proved it. u will be lamenting about drinking cheap whiskey on your tile floor, on the next down day.
he truly is a miracle. if it werent for toddo, berko, maria and insider info, he would more poor than me.
that hog needs to go to jail along with frank raines.
job losses lower than expected unemployement rate higher than expected. that makes as much sense to me as the fed selling and buying the 30 yr, in the same account.
i shud have gone to harvard. what is the class they teach there that suggests moving money from your right pocket to your left increases your net worth?
cramer bullish, toddo bearish. how does this story end, EVERY SINGLE TIME? well there was that one time 3/03, other than that, toddo is pitching a shutout.
LFT fire
merci jim !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
uh mern..."post a link, we want to read that crap we'll go get it"
