[mtntigger]

Uncle! You promised!!! I tried to met you halfway, but nooooo you moved farther away.

[ModE98]

Place on Wednesday.... how could this happen? Perhaps this small China pharmacuetical raised someone's interest. Been out of favor for almost two years. Someone see a bottom, or what?
Most likely, pure, dumb luck.

[Bluerobin]

Mod!!! You slipped by me on the inside rail! SBS, pass me those speshul oats!

[mtntigger]

Can do! You can have the oats I fed my nag last night; I'm stealing clark's.

[ModE98]

SBS.....I love those special brownies you bake, makes me really "mellow".... gives others a better chance when I lack aggression and then ease off and remain a cool fool. Yum, yum! Feed the jockey, ignore the horse.

[mtntigger]

Mmmmmm.... brownies. I'll make you some of these, Mod, but if you want any of the herbal stuff, you gotta get that from Blue.

[ModE98]

Wow, SBS, those are great. Yummy! Thanks!
The market may be off to a bad start today for longs....at least I will now remain cool.

[Driftr]

I really should know better than to bet against the Fed.

[ModE98]

Good grief.... going to be some wild changes tonight in this race. Good luck, all.

[Trongersoll]

This has become a race to see who can do the least bad.

[rovo]

The super-shorts have come screaming to the forefront as most others have stumbled or worse. Cali, SBS, and Yclept are now battling it out for the honors.

[ModE98]

Ooh, SBS, nice move! Good chance you will finish the race in good company at the top. Since you were so nice to share the brownies, it seems kind people end up on top.
You go, girl. Apply the whip only lightly, your gallant horse is performing nicely.

[mtntigger]

Since you were so nice to share the brownies, it seems kind people end up on top.

Um.... er.... yeah, that's it; I'm kind.



Stop chortling rovo!

[rovo]

Stop chortling rovo!

You must have me confused with someone else. ;D

[mtntigger]

You are still grinning.

[livinincali]

I figure I'm giving some of it back tomorrow as I expect the market to make some kind of bounce, maybe a sizable bounce, but we'll see.

[yclept]

"Um.... er.... yeah, that's it; I'm kind."

Kind? Kind of what?

In celebration of the leveraged-short-position riders' rightful ascendancy towards the top, I'm boiling up some road-kill Snow Leopard soup. I was surprised to come across the road kill as I thought I'd shot all those varmints hereabouts. This one must have been particularly sneaky. Soup is much healthier than brownies. Snow Leopards are kind of tough and stringy, the soup won't be ready until after the close tomorrow. If it doesn't turn out as tasty as I hope, well then I'll just the pot to put out the cooking fire -- small loss if that's what happens.

[mtntigger]

Et tu, yclept?

friggin' fraggin' males on this board don't know what's good for them. I'll teach ya!


'eh, who am I kidding? Y'all like the abuse just like I do. ;D

[Bluerobin]

Well so much for the hope of recovery today!!! Futures are down big time this morning!

[ModE98]

Using a 50/200 one year chart DMA, we should get a "death cross" today, signaling a possiblity there is much more to go on the downside. Given the situation in Europe and the obvious inability to find any near term political solution to our problems, it looks sadly ominus. May have a few thousand points down coming. Batten the hatches!

[mtntigger]

Wow! I'm more positive than Mod.
I think the DOW is going to bounce between 10 and 11K for a couple months or until a significant event occurs.

[yclept]

" 'eh, who am I kidding? Y'all like the abuse just like I do."

Ahh, nothing like a good-morning breaking on the wheel to work out any morning kinks and put in perspective whatever events the day may bring.

[ModE98]

SBS, you are hopefully correct in your forcast above. Now, if only.......
The blow off this morning was short lived... if we can hold in the positive territory is moot. I have no faith in the market, so we will see.

[mtntigger]

Finally... finally it looks like I could have a shot at beating yclept by stealing his horse, stealing oats from clark, feeding Mod brownies, etc., etc.. But then Cali comes along and now is too far down the track for me to catch up.

It just doesn't pay to be dishonest anymore!

[ModE98]

We appear to close without any blowout. Perhaps next week will be either another leg down. Who knows at the moment. Any bets on it will be a Short or Long week for the players?

[rovo]

Top three positions remain as they were yesterday but all three have further distanced themselves from the rest of the players.

A win by Cali after resting a while from the game, SBS a strong place and Yclept with an equally strong show.

Consolation... at least, beat the BenchMark Would like to "whonk" the culprits that chickened out, selling off 3 cents in the last 20 minutes... grrrrr, the varmits!

Congratulations to Cali, SBS and yclept for running away from the pack.

[mtntigger]

selling off 3 cents in the last 20 minutes... grrrrr, the varmits!

Not only that, but they let rovo bet you!

[rovo]

Why's everybody always picking on me.
