i don’t like them. those smug bastards!

the stupid mac genius told me to get a pink sleeve for my comp too. i was like you freak he interrupted, i was like oh i could get a pink sleeve all sarcastically cause we both hate pink and he butt in. this is a convo between a and b so c yourself out

apple store geniuses. i just want to punch them. their smug faces. their black framed glasses. special iphone with appointments capability. one time i was there trying to get helpand was waiting so long and the “lead” genius was doling out appointments d there was this skank slut who flirted with him and she got jumped ahead of me. he used his iphone powers to rearrange the schedule. hi, you’re just a retail floor person working in a store. you’re not better than me

i know, right. you freakin work at apple store. not even apple

just because you’re wearing all black, doesn’t make you fashionable

although this is a huge generalization, poor people are the most generous and genuine people in the world.  they seem to give more % wise

“first solar, i shoulda invested in them like 2 years ago, haha, oh well”

yea or GEX
http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=gex
the next buble people are saying
alternative energy

“so you think like 1.5-2 months jump on solar and other alternatives?”

more like 3-6 months
BUT we’re going to see at least one more BIG rough spot
coming up
really soon
hence the ultrashort ETFs i recommended
then we wait
let the market tell us
we don’t need to capture it at exactly the bottom
i’d rather miss a few points off the bottm
than get in and have it fall further.

but seriously, now’s not the time to be buying

for a quick buck, buy any one of these today or tomorrow and hold for 1-3 months. let me know if you buy and i’ll give you the exact price targets to sell at. you will be golden. i’m 100% invested in these, that’s how much i believe in them

it’s based on market fundamentals, 10 year bond rising, mortgage rates rising, more defaults, home prices down. bond insurers splitting, subprime half going bankrupt

and also technical analysis, the same shit that says XLNX will have trouble busting through
$22.5. it also says NVDA is temporarily at a bottom, but probably will go lower
all ETF’s they are inverse ETFS up 2% when underlying is down 1%

DXD is inverse to DOW
SDS is inverse to S&P500
QID is inverse to NASDAQ100
TWM is inverse to Russell 2000
SKF is inverse financials

but they trade like stocks so you don’t need to short anything, the ETF does it for you, you just buy and hold it.

also if you graph the stock market with a 50 week moving average (long term market timing signal that hasn’t been wrong for the past 20+ years, you’ll see it just turned negative) meaning the stock price crossed the 50 week moving average of prices.

buy in 12/51995
sell in 12/4/2000 for 196% gain
buy in 9/1/2002
sell 2/4/2008 for 40% gain

the yellow line is the 50 week moving average

my friend who shall remain anonymous probably experienced one of the worst days of his life ever.  this post is a tribute to him holding his chin up in spite of all the events that have passed.  and it is also for satisfying the inner shadenfreude in all of us.

for weeks, he had been building up the idea that he would have romantic intentions with this girl that he used to be friends with.  he made sure she didn’t have a boyfriend and lined up his ducks.  he was finally going to clear the cobwebs in his pants and possible hold hands with her.  after years and years and years and years of being out of action, he was going to dive right back in, or so he thought…

they re-established contact and tried to meet up on several occasions.  finally she invited him to an 80’s themed party.  he bought a blue 80’s track suit online, which left little to the imagination.  his friends offered to roll with him to the party, but his plans for spending the night dominated all rhyme and reason.  there would be no reason NOT to stay over.

when he arrived at the party, he turned out to be one of the few people dressed for the “theme” party.  he arrived a little too early and the party was getting started, but early enough to see his lady friend had a male suitor with her for the night.  plan foiled, but he was to try to make the best of the situation, small talk with strangers turned out to be the best it would get.

as the party wound down, his friend asked him to drive her two gay guy friends home.  apparently he offended one of them on the way home as he just told him to stop and he would get out and walk.

a little too buzzed to drive all the way home from sf and without warm bed and said girl, he parked in a krispe kreme  parking and nearly froze to death as he slept.  at 7am, he drove home and took a shower, causing his nose to bleed.

last week, his GPS and phone were stolen from his car.

(no this isn’t me)

so markets are up, this is a good thing right?  maybe.  i’m not buying that we’ve bottom just yet for a few reasons:

•  warren buffet wants to insure the municipal bonds.  this is not the same as the mortgage backed securities that are threatening trigger big losses in the markets
• some bond auctions have failed, leading to interest rates of 20%+
• mortage rates have actually gone up in the past few months, while the fed cuts the target rate
• housing prices have not stablized

what does this all mean?  i’m not sure, but perhaps no one is willing to lend money these days anymore.  why?  maybe they don’t have any money left to lend?  maybe they don’t have transparency on what they are lending for.  read “when genius failed”.  the similarities to 1997 is eerie.

no matter what the government data says, or what comes out of the mouth of the wall street economists, one thing i’ve noticed recently has been an increase in petty crimes.

in the past month alone:

• my roomates GPS and phone were stolen from his car, the front passenger window was smashed in.
• my friend’s apartment was broken into and they were burgularized, everthing was overturned and valuables were stolen
• another friend’s car was broken into in SF’s japan town and his latop was stolen
• someone attempted to break into my friend’s gf’s car and broke the pick in the door handle

are we headed for more dire straits? based on the perceived increase in crimes, it seems like the recession is just beginning.
time to deposit your money in your mattress, buy rations, build a panic room, and load up on ammo.

haha kidding aside, it wouldn’t hurt to purchase $12 renter’s insurance. i turned locked my GPS and set my “safety location” so that in the event that my GPS is stolen, they won’t know where my house is.

be safe out there.
