SheepDog is referring to the computer trading that has been very successful today in bumping up the market.

Utter insanity! Im going to wear my helmet around the streets today in case of any free-falling carbon based traders.

Oh, shoot! and “Aaaragh!

August 31, 2010

I could have rebooted, checked my firewall, scanned for conflicts with the other software that was running, ran around yelling things like, “Oh, shoot!” and “Aaaragh!”. I could have and I did. And in the end…

Quick Funny – Feel My Pain

August 19, 2010

I made a trade shortly after noon that at one point was $300+ in the money. Then It was losing over $2k. I was sick to my stomach.

Now it’s $900+ in the black and climbing. I am now elated. The thing is, my charts are now telling me to prepare to bail.

Nothing like a good whipsaw to humble a person, huh?


Update (3:26pm EDT): Bailed at $1.05 for a $4100 profit when momentum started to dwindle and I got tired of watching the trade.

MyLifeIsAverage – Life is pretty normal today

December 19, 2009

All humor must have a small modicum of truth in it to be funny.  I have often referred to the funnies in the newspaper as “The educational section”.  I have to give credit or blame to my dad.  He’s the greatest! 

My 14 year-old son recently introduced me to MLIA.  I haven’t stopped laughing.  It not only serves as barometer for us ol’ folks to judge the sanity and sensibilities of our progeny but also provides a daily dose of common-sense humor that we can all relate to. 

I’m suggesting that we all take a few moments each day to laugh at ourselves and here is a site that will help.

Just An Example Of The Bad Economy?
