Prediction

[haha]

Get prepared for some draw-downs.

You heard it here first.

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

 

[brewer12345]

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

 

[haha]

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.

Ha

Sell in May

Well, if enough people believe it, then it'll happen.

Here's the origin, supposedly:

Sell in May

Draw downs, Tinfoil hats, space aliens, Louis Ruykeyser. Pretty scary stuff ! Is there a connection here ?

Fortunately I have my Lucky Astrology Mood Watch TM to save me. I am not worried !

I'm not sure what this means! - Was H*cus right after all?

 

[haha]

I'm not sure what this means! - Was H*cus right after all?

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

***** is still waiting for that to happen. Timing is everything...

 

[cute fuzzy bunny]

I'm sorry, are we actually trying to attribute real intentions to hosuc? Honestly, I dont think he gives a rats ass about anything investing related.

My prediction: the return of bell bottoms, and perhaps tie-dye.

 

[youbet]

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.

 

[SolidA]

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).

 

[cute fuzzy bunny]

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...

 

[Martha]

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.

 

[Caroline]

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."

Stop, you're making a skinny  old man hungry.

Ha

 

[flipstress]

"Muffin Top."   

Hey, that could be a great UserID for yours truly, although "Rice Terraces" might be even more fitting.   

Really, I've got to start exercising again. 

My prediction: I'll put it off.

 

[cute fuzzy bunny]

"Muffin Top."

THAT is SO wrong. There should be some extension of the old 1970's "spandex law" to stop that from happening.

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!

Yep!

 

[haha]

As far as I know I am a normal man, but to me she looks like a woman who was probably once really cute, but has turned herself into a Holstein.

Give me a gal with a Muffin Top or Rice Terrace any day, as long as she doesn't have plastic basketballs on her chest.

Ha

 

[unclemick]

Is she clean, healthy and most importantly - can she put up with my B.S.?

All the rest I grade on a sliding scale - like that old country song.

heh heh heh heh heh heh heh - don't ya love that first cup of coffee.

 

[MJ]

It does appear that she is a woman of "faith"
