Zzzzzzzzzzzz ...

I overslept. Je me suis réveillé trop tard.

I'll post later.

... later ...

Oh well, it's Wednesday and as usual, not much is happening.

Actions

I will try to buy some VVUS today as its price has pulled back and its equity offering is done. I'll pick up a start position of about 1/3 of what I want over time, as long as its price stays in the area of 10+. This company has a very promising weight loss drug with good safety prospects, too.

CIT

"danke vielmals jim"


pffftttttttttttttttt

Bunkerman said...

yes, GS guts its befers when it suits them.

Anyone using GS as a money manger must be a fool.

All their trading profits come at the expense of customers.

Bunkerman said...

it's epicurean, unless you were making a pun.

Bud said...

it is quite amazing that a proposed tax that will kill our industry and and our careers is a source of amusement to ace



yes.............i'll be gettin up at 3 to make donuts..................hahahhahahhahhahahhahhhahhahahah..................that's hilarious!!!!!!




how can you be so obtuse ????

Bud said...

no pun................epicurean is the word i forgot.............i'd like to stay in a 800dollar anite suite too one day............instead
i usually stay at the best-western when i travel

mfl59 said...

the tax is bogus and going nowhere...end of story

mfl59 said...

Chicago PMI looks really good...

what recession????

Bud said...

i am a bit surprised at the nasty reaction to the chicago pmi............even in this so-called 'recovery'..............no one was sayin that the manufacturing sector was 'recovering'


but remember................i am just a ping-pong player.............i am just an emini-boy

Bunkerman are you familiar with this gentleman? I am going to a dinner to listen to him speak in a few weeks...Sounds like you have a few similar ideas...

Bud said...

joel skousen sheeeeeeesh


he's a nut................he makes the Bman look like a normal sane person

Bunkerman said...

oh, these moves are just beefers playing games.

teh bears hit teh short button and the buyers pull bids.

Why buy higher when the bears will sell it lower ?

Bunkerman said...

never heard of that guy ... will look.

Bunkerman said...

he seems to a bit of an anachronism in his analysis of the world ... locked in the cold war.

Bud said...

Bman are you a gene autry fan ??

watching goldtown ghost riders on encore right now...........they sure don't make them like that anymore

Bud said...

Bman since you have already acknowledged you are an anachronism yourself ??


what period would you rather live in if you had 1 choice

a - an officer in general washington's colonial army fighting King george's occupying army


b- an officer in the union army fighting the confederates during the civil war


c- or a gunslinging cowboy out west exploring and fightin injuns




personally i'd go with c

Bunkerman said...

yes, I'm a big fan of his music - haven't seen any of his mivies.

I'm back in the saddle again ....

Bunkerman said...

I'd take any of a, b, or c

there are many others, too.

Bunkerman said...

maybe a frontier rifleman picking off British officers at Saratoga ?

mfl59 said...

Bman you strike me more of a Manifest Destiny type of guy...heading West to chase a pot of gold...Horace Greeley indeed...

Bunkerman said...

I could see that, too.

Into the mountains to grab a good plot of land ... a defensibl epostion.

Bunkerman said...

quite some ping pong action.

ugh. Shuold never have even looked at the levels.
