Re: Prediction
Haven't you been making that same prediction every day for many years now? How are those QQQQ puts doing?

Re: Prediction
Ha, is this a "sell in May" call, a valuation call, or a prediction of a specific event (Iranian nonsense, etc.)?

LOL*!*
Not too good, I admit. But, not only is that game not over, it isn't even halftime yet.*
Even with them losing, I am way ahead, because I would not have kept my other equity investments which have been very strong, and have upped my net worth meaningfully since I stated blathering about puts.
I can only bring myself to buy what seems to be cheap. Puts seemed cheap, so I bought them.
I look upon it as a hedge, but it is true, I also would like to get some juice out of them. Anyway, I knew I would draw a little flak, so that can liven up an otherwise slow day.

1) Valuation 2) Year 2 of presidential cycle 3) Sell in May 4) Various risks including but not limited to Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, BOP, morons running the US, etc, etc.
If we get through November unscathed, I probably will just sit out the rest of the game until and if I again like some values on individual stocks.

My guess is it doesn't mean much. I personally feel this way, but I admit I don't know anything.*

Re: Prediction
I'm sorry, are we actually trying to attribute real intentions to *****? Honestly, I dont think he gives a rats ass about anything investing related.
My prediction: the return of bell bottoms, and perhaps tie-dye.

Perfect!* Part of my LBYM strategy is carefully packing away out-of-style clothes until the styles come back.* My bells and tie-dyes can be unpacked and ready to go in short order!*

Bell bottoms and tie-dye aren't still in style? I thought those looks I get were envy.

Re: Prediction
OK guys, where have you been??!! (don't answer). I teach in a junior/senior high school, and bell bottoms are all da rage. I have a pair on now, as a matter of fact. Can Elephant bells be far behind? (I sure hope so - YUCK). In any event, thought I'd bring you up to date on the fashion world. Disclaimer: I live in Minnesota, which is not known for being the fashion capital of the world (although we do have the MOA).

Re: Prediction
Yeah, i'm cheating a little on my prediction...I heard bell bottoms are coming back in. I figured the tie dye is a natural follow up.
I'm going to miss those low-rise jeans though. Gal walked through home depot the other day turning a sea of mens heads as she progressed down the main aisle. Might as well have just dropped them and walked through pantsless...

Re: Prediction
My 20 year old neice will only wear bell bottoms/boot cut pants. She calls straight leg pants "ankle biters."

Hey, we'll always have Google Images.
At least we can stop worrying about being ambushed by gender-equality buttcrack.

Re: Prediction
I understand that there's a name for the roll of fat that today's average young woman sports above her low-rise jeans and below the hem of her shirt.
"Muffin Top."

If you're a huge blob of silly putty...please cover it up, do not force it into a couple of tight pieces of cloth and cause it to bulge! :P
