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

Bunkerman said...

ahh yes. I like Kelly's Heroes, too - great half track scenes.

Spin-em said...

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

Bunkerman said...

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 ...

Bunk..Is there no level that would make you say..screw the spreadsheet.. RUN FOR THE HILLS?...live to fight another day???

Spin-em said...

Bunk...do you believe that gaps get filled??

Spin-em said...

and if you do..SPY,DIA,QQQ DEC 2010...hence my questions above

Bunkerman said...

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.

Bunkerman said...

QE2 was and is a good idea.

there are problems .. FNMA is way to tight in giving housing credit;

Bunkerman said...

McNamara was a disaster ... a lot like Rumsfeld.

Bunkerman said...

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.

Mrs B shakes her head......
