TGIF

The first post-summer Friday is here. Ms. Market had a fine week, dancing an optimistic, elegant waltz of ever higher prices. Europe is up this AM. The underlying bid to stock prices recurs on each bear raid ... so far. They'll try again, no doubt.

From my "Memorable Quotes" file:

The Emperor – Return of the Jedi: “Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen.”

Hannibal Hayes – The A Team: “I just love it when a plan comes together”

The call option play is working, as some of its staid stocks like PG made strong moves up. To reiterate the fundamental theory, in my opinion the rest of the world's economies are stronger and growing quite well now. The US is lagging due to the poor structure of Obama's stimulus plan. The dollar thus falls as demand for it is lower than for other world currencies. Companies with substantial overseas revenues will outperform and eventually beat earnings forecasts and raise 2010 estimates. Hence, the stock selections for the call option speculation include such companies as best I could determine.

Eventually I'll have to trade around these positions, but for now, I'll sit on this bull elephant and ride to the next waterhole.

Word of the Day

"Dulcify" - verb, transitive
Dulcify means 1. to make sweet; 2. to make agreeable: mollify.
Sentence: Obama's speech changed nothing in the factual content of the health bill; all he did was spread some rhetorical sugar onto it to dulcify its sour contents.

Bunky...are you familiar with BNE...

looks decent, coming off last month's secondary

Bunkerman said...

nope. It's a printing fiorm, I believe. I haven't followed it., never heard of it.

Bunkerman said...

recently, that is, re "heard of it"

Bunkerman said...

I guess someone at C read's Bud's comments:

Goldman Sachs tgt raised to $215 from $175 at Citigroup (174.87 )

Mikey said...

thanks Bunky....i think BNE helps financial firms with compliance and such

Bud said...

Bud said...

Bud said...

Bunkerman said...

actually, not the only man ... Big John / Grand Jean of the canoe trip prepares, too.

My gold hoard sure was profitable ... I laughed all the way to the bank.

My ammo and firearms are worth triple ior more what I paid for them ... sure is funny.

Bunkerman said...

HS - e.g. = exempli gratia.

Bunkerman said...

btw, those gains on gold, firearms, etc. are/were way into six figures for each. No small amounts.

hahaha, quite a laugh :)))

Bunkerman said...

Why should taxpayers back the hogs at GS to speculate ?

nfw.

Bunkerman said...

no trading arms of any bank should have any gov't backing, express or implied.

they should be forced to separate them from the rest of the bank.

Bud said...

tripledigit gain.....wow


Bman what was the price of gold roughly when u started buying gold bars ??

Bunkerman said...

It's amazing how stupid and myopics some "intelligent" people are.

If one has a safe, secure base / castle, one can take forays & big risks.

History supports that in innumerable examples.

And events like the LA riots do, too.

Bunkerman said...

under $300.

Under $5 for silver.

Bunkerman said...

sold most gold at $1000; silver over $20.

hahaha so funny.

Spin-em said...

geezzuz Biden...that was brutal..lol

mfl59 said...

Bunkerman you forgot the ($10) beside "myopic"....well done

Bunkerman said...

isn't it odd that certain persons who talk a big line about "no regulation" will put their lives in the sole hands of the government ?

They seem to be fools or knaves.

Bunkerman said...

was making the speed bag sing today ... sounded like Gene Krupa in a fast peice.

"He has a slick jab"

Spin-em said...

Mercante style..attaboy Bunk

mfl59 said...

the word from rural Ohio is that you tend to drop your right hand when you jab....a quick guy like Bud will be able to take advantage of that with superior timing

Bunkerman said...

haha, nice try. But I don't drop my right guard.

btw, rural Ohio never saw me box ... I boxed in NYC at the NYAC many moons ago.

Now I train in my basement.

Spin-em said...

yes..he may whip an Iowa stalk of corn at you before taking off...

Bunkerman said...

oh ... boxing is just the last line of defense. Normally my M1 and then my Kbar do my talking.

mfl59 said...

"I would love to sucker punch you"

"I took 5 a side from a friend"

Son you belong with a guy like "jim"...

Bman do you have any ethics books lying around the barn? Perhaps Bud could give one a read...

Bunkerman said...

lol

I have numerous books, but ...

Frosty said...

"Now I train in my basement"...uh Bunky...sipping bunktinis with judy garland on the victrola while tossing krypto bone a fine training regiment....I know I know..."my meat swings well below the knee"

Frosty said...

Bunkerman said...

my weight room, boxing & aerobics equipment is pretty good.

Yes, I do listen to the 1940s music while lifing.

But for boxing I use a fast 1930s jazz CD.

For aerobics, I use military cadence tapes.

Spin-em said...

training

Have you seen the well-to-do
Up and down park avenue
On that famous thoroughfare
With their noses in the air

(pop pop...bam bam bam)

High hats and Arrow collars
White spats and lots of dollars
Spending every dime
For a wonderful time

(pop pop...bam bam bam..pop pop)

Now, if youre blue
And you dont know where to go to
Why dont you go where fashion sits
Puttin on the ritz
Different types who wear a daycoat
Pants with stripes and cutaway coat
Perfect fits
Puttin on the ritz

(popity popity...bamity bamity)

Dressed up like a million dollar trooper(poppoppop)
Trying hard to look like gary cooper
Super-duper(bambambam)

Come, lets mix where rockefellers
Walk with sticks or umberellas
In their mitts
Puttin on the ritz

(BAM)

lool

mfl59 said...

lmaoooo "release the club"

you mean do I throw the club after a bad shot? no i do not....

Feb 2010 indeed...

Bunkerman said...

it's more often a Bix Beiderbecke fast jazz tune - helps me dance faster around the heavy bag

lol, Bud probably would break his hand on it.

I doubt he could make it even move.

Frosty said...

"helps me dance faster around the heavy bag"...Mrs B you should have to take that, how rude, you disgust me...Sal jump in the passat and "knock out bunks teeth"

Spin-em said...

rofllllllllllllllll bunk

Bunkerman said...

amazing brazen theft - USO started out about equal to price of oil, now it's about 50%. "Investors" hav elots 1/2 their money simply holding it.

U.S. Oil Fund ETF continues to see intraday weakness as it dips into its early Sep gap of 35.65-36.12 (35.88 -1.48)

Frosty said...

Bunky...please post the call option flipparrrooooossssss in advance...thanks.

Bunkerman said...

I always post my trades just after I make them.

"Doing nothing"

Frosty said...

Bunkerman said...

sheesh ... a blackberry ... what a tool (1970s MIT label for a ... you can guess)

that's your transponder for "them" to track you.

Are you going towear it in a waist "holster" lolololol ?

"Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they are watching me"

Bunkerman said...

If I ever get a blackberry, Mrs. B can have me committed.

Bunkerman said...

Moi, I save my holster space for a thin PPK.

mfl59 said...

sorry spin...but I thin Bunk may have just stolen the MVP....brilliant effort...

Blackberry...gimmie a break....

Bud said...

waist holster ?? al gore style ?? no way..............loooooooool



PS...........i think frosty wears a man purse............ya'know..........thetampons fit in there easily

Bud said...

what the F is a'ppk' ???



uhh Bman..........don't you have an iphone ??? you think 'they' ain't trackin you ??

Bunkerman said...

lolol Bud, check the "piece" of James Bond, a neat thin 7.65mm PPK.

uh ... I only carry the iPhone when I want them to track me.

Bunkerman said...

I saw a whole lot of "manbags" [aka man purses] in London.

And even a few in NYC last trip.

How embarrasing for the male sex.

Like drinking Coors Light at the AC bar after a workout.

Bud said...

uhhhh................what's wrong with coors light??


i drink it all the time..........prolly have a few tomorrow during iowastate/iowa game

Frosty said...

"prolly have a few tomorrow during iowastate/iowa game"...take more than a few to watch that bitch slap match.

Bunkerman said...

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

uh ... to be polite, I question if it's a suitable beer for a man. It's a lady's beer

;)

Bunkerman said...

at the bar, I'd be drinking Guinness or Jameson 12 yr old on the rocks, and then some "man" would stand next to me & order a "Coor's light" ... I'd edge a bit away .. but not turn my back

;)

Bunkerman said...

at least drink real Coors, not "light".

Spin-em said...

LMAOOOOOOO
