That means Happy New Year in German, literally Good New Year.
This evening I will do some powerful voodoo to help ensure a prosperous New Year. I'll make about four dozen golden spring rolls. Having spring rolls at New year's is a Chinese "good luck" charm - I learned this from the famous Chinese chef and restauranteur of the 1960-70s, Joyce Chen in cooking classes in the mid 1970s. The reasoning that spring rolls are good luck is that they are made to look like bars of gold. Thus having them for New year's is a good luck charm.
I suppose it's similar to my grandmother saying that having sauerkraut at New Year's was also good luck. Maybe it's for the same reason - sauerkraut can look like golden threads.
My spring rolls are baked, not deep fried - I get the gold color by spraying them with Pam, or brushing with olive oil. The filling is hamburger, bok choy, green cabbage, green peppers, onions, oyster sauce and various other Chinese spices. I'll make four dozen and have them for New Year's eve dinner with Mrs. B along with a fine Golden Kryptonite Martini.
Hey, that's a double voodoo spell !
Wait ... quintuple voodoo - I'm making some golden sauerkraut for New Year's day dinner, along with a pork roast & golden Bavarian potato pancakes. Maybe I'll have a bottle of fine German reisling wine, too. That would be quintuple voodoo as the wine is a golden color.
Doing my best for the common man ;)
Actions
I still have the S&P January puts. If the market doesn't drop during the first week, I'll roll them forward into a later expiration date.

Hmmm I see Ohio State plays Oregon tomorrow.
Normally the Buckeyes perform very poorly in the Rose Bowl ... any bowl game, actually.
not booking any bets on the Buckeyes, although I will root for them.
I'm surprised Oregon even has a team, being a state of tree huggers. I would think football was too violent for them.
Oregonian: Peace, man ... pass me the bong ...
cougar coupe
lmaooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Continuing Claims 4.98 mln vs. 5.10 mln consensus; prior revised to 5.038 mln from 5.076 mln
08:30 ECONX Inital Claims 432K vs 460K consensus, prior revised to 454K from 452K
still too high, falling too slowly.
Obama's crappy stimulus to blame there.
yes..........oregon tree huggers ............also a state full of fags
boy Bunkerman you flipped the switch very quickly.....you may hvae to bring mern back as a guest blogger to really get the bearish theme going...
not really .. I wrote last summer what my expectations were on jobs, etc.
And was worried about that POS bill = Pelosi-Obama-Stimulus bill.
Not being met.
I'm not in love with my positions or stances ... I can adapt, improvise ...
I wanted & expected job growth by year end. It's not happening.
POS bill likely cause.
Ben is doing his job, but the leaches in Congress are sucking teh blood out.

spot on bunky...certain the only conservative 50 mile radius...I stick out like Sal at airport secutity checkpoint.
lol, yup, that turban must draw TSA like flies to s%$#
;)))))
check that ... maybe not ... I heard TSA focuses on old ladies and kids, to be fair & equal.
I suppose they give hot babes a good patdown, too.
at least i don't stick out like a fag at the airport...................ya'know............larry craig style
wide stance faggot
PS...........still wanna be pals???
we need to profile at the airport Bman............so much waste of time and money patting down grandma and kids........it's so ridiculous............cuz profiling is 1 of the most effective law enforcement techniques
unfortunately it gonna take a disaster to make that happen
yup, Bud, correct.
But it's gonna take a new President and Congress. W started this nonsense.
pffttt ...nobody liked my color coded jets plan Tom Ridge style..all we need is paint..and stay away from tan/black and red jets...NEXT!!
in anticipation ....
No, I have not and will not flip my puts this year.
Bud is "jim" a good kisser?
TOM RIDGE PLAN...LMAOOO...don't forget yellow, chinnllleeee rickshaw nonono floattyyy roundeye.
shoes underpantsbombs,,,pfttt...TSA all ya need to do is ask one question to the peoples of color....What do you think of the jews?....you see an eye,vein pop..well... Houston..we have a problem.....NEXT!!
" I'm inclined to move toward cash"...thx jim...read your cash...biggest Visa skim ticket day of the year...sorry busy, punch the tickets then off to walk some raw land.
Bunky...what should we do for a 2010 helmet contest...SPX year end, 10 year yeild year end, date Sal comes out.
Nice work in 2009 Bunkerman.
You’ve had many good trades this year, as well as very good market timing calls. Thank you.
Do it again in 2010.
Happy New year to all the Bunker boys. Thanks all.
SPX year end!!!!! I'm in!!!!!
thanks, Mikey.
Let me think about the 2010 Helmet award, frosty.
back at ya mikey...but let's go easy on the bunkstroking...already tough finding a helmet to fit his mammoth macroscopical monstrous monolithic monumental massive melon.
ohh, I am a humble man ...
1987 and 2008 made sure of that.
Bunkerman a few of the boys are a little concerned that a permabull like yourself is now leveraged to the short side...please offer some soothing words sir...
soothing ?
well, I don't see any doom coming.
just a pullback since the news is not as good an anticipated.
I figure the beefers are propping the market up to collect fees and will support fast once they book them. Asset allocation aways from stocks in early Jan will add to the drop; looking for 5-7%.
A reasonable pullback will bring in "real buyers" ;)
If it doesn't materialize, my puts will be 23 skiddoo
;)
aka I'll skeedaddle quickly.
some weakness might even kill ObamaCare, which would be very bullish LT.
and what are your thoughts on the financial transactions tax in 2010, or "wing tax" as some refer to it?
Will it finally be put to rest or does it gain real traction?
dead.
Schumer is powerful in the D party. He's kill it i fit ever got moving.
Plus Obama is from Chicago. they don't like it either.
Dead.
permabull ?? leveraged short side ?? soothing ?? huh ???
Bman is a f'ng trader.............he playin ping-pong..........just like any good beefer wud..................ignore him Bman

I have proposed one myself to replace social security tax, etc.. Maybe Obama reads this blog ?
last time I checked Bunkerman doesnt need you to speak for him Buddy.....now go pick up the wine coolers for tonight...son
