We might beat you out on that Ombud... But; when dancing with the "Devil", there is always the chance of getting the pitchfork in an unpleasant place.  |

Pick SSLT as a short, and today it goes up big time. This was supposed to be way overbought, but they keep on buying. If it keeps on going up, the bottom may be mine.  Unless, the house of cards caves in later in the week.  |

Speaking APPLE; someone {a very big player} made a nearly $60 million dollar play against Apple to go much higher by October. They did it using Options & it has drawn a lot of attention.
And don't look at me I am not worth 6 figures, let alone 8 figures. |

Thanks to all for the birthday wishes. We'll see how long I can stay ahead of the law of averages. (84 men). But it seems people are actually defying age limits these days. Prepare yourselves for a longer retirement!
