Oh sure the NY Stock Exchange just opened after a somewhat muted week. Ha! Just kidding there was all kinds of turmoil last week and stocks finished down for the 1st time in a month. But we’re still looking at the best start for stocks in a year since 1997. Good stuff. But I’ve been [...]
March 4th, This Friday, Is a Big Day, No?
Wow, this Friday coming up has a few big story lines, doesn’t it? 1st, its the new release of the unemployment situation for the month of February. We’ll get the unemployment rate, the number of non-farm payroll jobs created (or lost), and wage info, and all that other mutha jazz. 2nd, it’s the day that [...]
Weekend Winner? Can You Say Jimmer?
Editor’s Note–Well, when last we heard from Big Dick, he was seen walking out of a Las Vegas casino in the 1st quarter of the Super Bowl, when Big Ben Rothliesberger threw an ill-fated pass to the Packers, and the Steelers found themselves down 14-0 in the 1st quarter. Big D just muttered, “This is [...]
"Gold" To Go
Well the charts have spoken. No mas on the GLD short anymore. As in, we tried the shorting of gold and ran into a buzzsaw that is Middle Eastern Civil War. Others will argue that might not have had much to do with it, but that’s not entirely correct. Images on the facebook and the [...]
The Jewel(s) of the Nile
Looks like Libya has some issues, no? Just heard some Libyan Air Force pilots ejected from their plane, rather than attack a Libyan city, as was ordered by their “fearless” leader, who once hid for like10 years after President Ronald Reagan literally almost put a missile up his ass. Something about the “fearless” leader, helping [...]
Fred Wilpon’s World Just Got Worse.
Wow. FredWilpon(Owner of NYMets) just went from giant dupe to giant front for giant fraud. New York Times is out with this today
Remember, It’s NEVER Different THIS Time
The Associated Press has “Nasdaq Nears 10-year High, Should You Be Nervous?” Apparently, the Nasdaq is within 25 points of its highest level in a decade. Well la di freakin dah. I stopped thinking about the Nasdaq when I was yelling at everyone that 5,000 on that exchange was absolutely ludicrous back in 2000. Now [...]
Maybe Bernanke Needs a Trip to the Beach? Maybe a Conversation With the Duke Brothers Too!
I awoke this morning to this hilarious headline in the New York Times ”Bernanke Warns G-20 on Flow of Money” http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/19/business/global/19euro.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=bernanke%20warns%20g-20&st=cse
3 Weeks in A Row, Bro
Looks like stocks are going to end up again for the 3rd straight week. Revolutions, record deficits, record foreclosures, pestilence, vermin, oh my, and we are still sitting on a pile of money with our winnings after standing here, well actually sitting here, and SCREAMING for people to BUY stocks. It gives me great joy. [...]
The Not So Happy Recap
Let’s go back to two stories from yesterday. Shall we? We shall. First off, the NY Metropolitans Baseball Club. Jeff Wilpon, son of Fred, and part of the family owner of the team, said that the plan is NOT for the Wilpon’s to give up control of the “Flushing Phenoms”. Interesting. One problemo with that [...]
