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.

no, spin, it's a word I read in a book over the weekend and I thought about a club that used to put on a fine MG event that broke up over squabbling and misbehavior about five years ago. The breakup hurt a community in New England that got lots of tourist $ (and needed it).
I was a mere observer.
Bunk the Dirty Dozen was on the other day...they were in a half tracker...thought of you... brought a smile to my face over a Rolling Rock..lol
ahh yes. I like Kelly's Heroes, too - great half track scenes.
Kelly's Heroes....me too
16 million of gold in the bank at $35/ounce......can buy alotta grape tomatoes @ $1550 today..lol
1 truck to haul that away??? commme onnn..lol
hmmm $16 million / $35/oz = 457,000 oz. (troy)
= 38,095 lbs. (troy) = 31,483 lbs.
= 15.74 tons.
One halftrack could cary about 5 tons. A 2 1/2 ton truck could carry 2 1/2 tons :)
But don't forget the Tiger Tank ...
horrible economic numbers today ........we slippin back into recession..........still think QE2 was a great idea Bman ??
'keep firing Ben'
Bman how far is the Bunker fron devens ?? i will be in devens on friday.........golfing...........i see tanks in the area...............is that an army reserves station?
Bman what is your evaluation of Bob Mcnamara performance during vietnam war ??
he was recruited to governemnt from detroit
Bunk..Is there no level that would make you say..screw the spreadsheet.. RUN FOR THE HILLS?...live to fight another day???
Bunk...do you believe that gaps get filled??
and if you do..SPY,DIA,QQQ DEC 2010...hence my questions above
re gaps, I believe that gaps usually get filled BUT not always.
The spreadsheet was very flat all around this morning. No reason to change now ... I missed a couple buys last week, seems like I wil get a second crack at teh plate.
My last moves were selling ... buying on dips is the preferred action now.
A US default would probably make me widen the signals a lot.
QE2 was and is a good idea.
there are problems .. FNMA is way to tight in giving housing credit;
McNamara was a disaster ... a lot like Rumsfeld.
Devens used to be Fort Devens, an Army base. No surprise if they still have some presence for reserves or national guard ...
I think I'm about 50 miles from there.
My regular MG range is nearby.
I think I'm about 50 miles from there.
Mrs B shakes her head......
