Wish I were there!

You need to go to the Trip Reports section and read badguy's report. It's all saggy tits, foul odors, gunts, scars, lousy service and spooge-stained hotel room carpets. Trust me, you'll feel better.

WHAT??? Haven't you noticed. We've been in a RAGING Bull Market for the past 6 weeks.........

I'm listening to all the "experts" and "pundits" on TV lately and they are ALL falling over themselves with Bullishness. The Nations problems are OVER!! Everything has been RESOLVED!!!

As Cramer says: BUY!!!!!.....BUY!!!!!...BUY!!!!!!....(Yeah...RIGHT.....)

BondTrader-

Not to talk shop, but I can't believe the last 6 weeks. And EVERYONE wants to buy now. Quite frustrating when people claim they saw this coming. Even more frustrating when you put in some shorts last week...

Smell-

Market hurt me bad too and I don't have money in the coffers. Only one thing to do, F it and go. Say this with me, "Phuck it." If you can't say it, you can't do it...

i'm with beachbumm2006, get your a** down to SJO.

since the downturn, i've booked more travel than ever before. usually not a big spender, but it sure beats saving money just to have it disappear without enjoying it.

Amen BigBoss!!!!

It's a W recovery pure and simple. I ain't buyin shit again until DJIA under 4000.

Market hit you hard lately? You must be short (finance-wise). Right now is a good time to get out, those who are in. The rally may last a while longer but the real economy is headed down and won't really bottom until we're in the 20-teens, if then. Call me an optimist

Gentlemen, I gave up my series 7 license almost 8 years ago. I and my clients have better odds at the casino on the crapp table or black jack table. Thanks to light weights in the maket making, the useless SEC and FINRA .

No I don't put my clients money on the games.

I found out years ago it is much safer and more liquid to buy cash flow instraments. Discounting mortgages, structured settlements, lottery winnings, annuities and life insurance. At 60% or less loan to value, a real winner. Yeilds at 12%-28%. Backed by real assets.

My only real asset killer. DIVORCE. Pray you all stay away from that investment.

Amen on the divorce being a killer.

But the downturn in the market has been a good opportunity for me. Not that I have a huge portfolio, but I've been day-trading with low-priced bank stocks and making a few bucks each week; enough to pay for my next two or three trips to SJO anyway.

I had cashed out of most of my stocks several months ago, so had a little cash handy in March when the market bottomed out. (I hope it bottomed out then, anyway.)

Put Options Gentlemen. I am sure this pig of a market is rolling over into a terminal wave down that should last the next five months. I went from net long to net short on 7 May. I would recommend puts on the QQQQ for Sep-Dec with $23-$25 strike prices. An opportunity like this comes along once in 3-4 generations...and this one is long in the tooth.

I have played enough here out of frustration I spent enough to make two trips, (go figure) I do keep six months cash on hand but with a possible disability pending in 4/5 years my Attorney says be prepared for a two year plus battle so I now need two years plus cash on hand. That's gonna be a tad hard!

So Phuck it sounds about right, live today and worry about tomorrow when it gets here! So See ya soon!
