Oooops, sorry, you lose... want to play again?

[George Costanza]

Does anyone else ever get the feeling that they are part of one big shell game?

[NATHAN LLOYD]

You know I do. In reality, sometimes you are. Some of these companies are 80% owned by fund companies. You're totally at their will in these stocks. Other stocks you're at the will of Cramer and his "Pavlovian dogs". :)

[Hanger]

When I am down I always feel like I am trying to play Whack the Mouse.....
I see it right in front of me, but just a little too slow to nail it, then another pops up and I might get a piece of that one, before I nail the 3rd one lol

[fightknight]

Taking a day off to appreciate nature ( away from technology and numbers) really helps get over it. Next day you will be ready and energized.

[wallnut]

Today was a bad, bad, bad day...........................
I wish I never woke up.....
The only realy good ones today were NABI and VC....sad huh??
DSCO..... WTF????
cant long, cant short.... :(

[wallnut]

Hey DNA is green!!!:|

[George Costanza]

I call do-over for the last 7 years.

Great idea....that way we can all ride the tech stocks down to the money!!!! LOL....

To be honest, I am looking for a nice 3 days without the market....should be a wonderful break from money....until I find myself doing screeners and staring at charts Saturday evening lol...

[stockviper]

I like this thread..We are not alone!

My FCX recoved and my IDWD has been going up up up. GWGO bouncing a little up then down. Other than that bad few days...and NO, I didn't learn anything, except to wait a day or 2 like in KRY!

I may indeed go appreciate some nature this weekend, but only in the hope some hungry bear will mistake me for a rabbit smeared with honey.

Maybe if you appreciate nature at Hooter's you'd really feel better?

[George Costanza]

Is it a bad sign that I now consider Vegas my only chance to not lose money?

[fightknight]

Hooters!!! lol

[wallnut]

cant afford hooters, its natural ice on the back porch for me!!

[NATHAN LLOYD]

George,

I love your sense of humor. Pavlov's dogs will be lurking for you. You'll go around a corner and you'll see 5,000 of em licking their chops. Cramer will be floating above you with a cape on ringing his bell.

[SWFseeksM4LTR]

Is it a bad sign that I now consider Vegas my only chance to not lose money?

LOL! I was thinking the same thing.

[George Costanza]

George, I love your sense of humor.

Thanks Nathan.

It would not surprise me in the least. Now, if I were to go around a corner and not find a pack of murderous, ravenous canines... THAT would be a surprise.
Besides, there is no need for them to lurk, they apparently know exactly where to find me.

[Mad Girl Investor]

IF it makes you feel any better Georgie, my entire port is red, EXCEPT SLS...its showing I got a $30 gain!

Whoopie!

But ya know, there is always someone who has it worse....and that is NEWMAN!

[fightknight]

Hello Newman

[NATHAN LLOYD]

Have fun in Vegas.

[Mad Girl Investor]

Hello Newman
Noo, FightKnight,its..............

Hellooooooooooooooooooooooooo NEWMAN!

Hey, remember the girl whose name rhymes with a body part???

[fightknight]

so what was her name anyway?? Mulva?

Not very good with the female anatomy? lol

[George Costanza]

Her real name was actually Delores, but Jerry assumed it must be Mulva. :lol:

[fightknight]

Lol. OH YEAh. That show is classic.

[NATHAN LLOYD]

wallnut: I've got a 6 pack of bud select
I'll meet you over there and send my girl to pick us up some NY strips and some charcoal.

[George Costanza]

Can you guys believe I actually have jury duty next week? I honestly think I may vomit.
On the bright side, I can't think of any way it will cause me to lose money.

[George Costanza]

Have fun in Vegas.

Thanks. I'll lose a couple hundred in your honor.


IF it makes you feel any better Georgie, my entire port is red, EXCEPT SLS...its showing I got a $30 gain!

It's just the tonic I needed MG.

[NATHAN LLOYD]

jury duty sucks ass

I'm always going why didn't I do that?
WHY?
NXG I liked it about 3 weeks ago. Why didn't I do that.
CC I almost got it at yesterday morning.
WHY?
Bud select working now. HAAA!

[NATHAN LLOYD]

I have a short on GRZ aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!

[InvestingMoron]

Someone picked NXG in a weekly contest a long time back. I put some real money into them and only came out 3% ahead. boo hoo hoo. They were sittin at 2 bucks back then.

[George Costanza]

I have a short on GRZ aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!


Yeah, me too.
Scottrade once again forced me to cover my short, not that I wasn't happy to get out of KRY. So, I shorted GRZ at $7.71. Looks to be going pretty well so far as I am only down $75 in the hour or two that I've had it.

[wallnut]

wallnut: I've got a 6 pack of bud select

Do I know you??
No $hit, A friend just stopped buy with a sixer o bud select and I just finished a NY strip with a side of home made potato salad.
Are you watching me??:lol:
Dude, that is weird !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just sent my girl for more beer, get em while there cold..

[wallnut]

GRZ, did you say GRZ, GRZ?? GRZ???
I'm taking it up da AZZ with GRZ!!
please in the name of god (whatever you might call him..lol)dont ever mention GRZ again, unless its tanking!!

[Gonz]

You know what we need? We need a fourth forum, for miscellaneous posts about Iran, South Park, and this rigged three-card monty game we charitably call "trading."

No, seriously.

I was up today, though. Not by much, but after all the hemorrhaging my account's been doing lately, anything green is good.

I'd do better to open a margin account and start day-shorting. Without fail, every single stock I buy into tanks minutes after I buy into it. It's uncanny.

On another note, anyone watch "The West Wing"? I've been trying to find a down-loadable copy of that song "The Jackal" that CJ lyp-synced (synched? sinked? synked?) in season one. Can't find that bastard anywhere.

[NATHAN LLOYD]

Wallnut,

Yes, I'm watching you. LOL
That's pretty cool.
Sounds like you're starting the weekend right.

[wallnut]

someones gotta!!

[wallnut]

hey gonz, is it the opening theme song??
I might gots it.
Limewire is sweet!!

[Gonz]

No, it's some crazy, smoky, jazzy song that CJ lyp-syncs during the episode. For the first time ever, Google has failed me.

[NATHAN LLOYD]

I like winmx. Limewire is corrupted. If it's working for you, that's cool.

[wallnut]

Wallnut,

Yes, I'm watching you. LOL
That's pretty cool.

Tell ya what I wanna do, PLAY HOCKEY !!!!!
wife is watching re-runs
kids are fighting about something I cant even begin to care about.
market is closed.
And again, i am bored.
The beer is cold!! if that means anything to ya.
I might play a drop in game for $hits and gigs, I just cant stand getting skated around by the 18 year olds. my lungs just aren't what they used to be. I kinda gotta lay them out from time to time and set them in there place.... Just kidding, only when they get in my way:p

[wallnut]

Another really cool theme song is the Sopranos opening tune, woke up this morning..

[wallnut]

Hey Nathan, where did you get the Tar heels avatar?? I have been looking for a UofM and cant find one??

Im working on sending a limewire tune to my comp so I can post it, this might take some time............:D
I think I got what u want.

[SWFseeksM4LTR]

I like winmx. Limewire is corrupted.

Now DON'T even get me STARTED on how corrupted and virus-infected LimeWare is! We all know how that ends up! LOL!

I like winmx too.

George...Jury Duty pays $6.00 a day here in Dallas...better than some of my days in the stock market. I would need to be in jury duty 12.18 years straight to recoup my UALAQ loss. Im gonna puke!

[NATHAN LLOYD]

I copied and pasted it.

I'll be even in no time!
Seriously, I think I feel a case of the two-week Ebola virus coming on.

When they ask you the first question, answer enthusiastically. Tell them you're looking forward to serving your community.

Then say, "And anyway, if somebody makes it all the way before a judge, they must be guilty of somethin'."

[Will]

The longer I'm in this game, the more I feel like a pawn.

The fact That Rumsfeld used to run Gilead. He left when Bush appointed him to be Secretary of Defense. What does running Gilead and being the top person in charge of defense have in common?
http://money.cnn.com/2005/10/31/news/newsmakers/fortune_rumsfeld/

I also read today that Cheney reported reported adjusted gross income of nearly $8.82 million for '05 and will be recieving a 1.9 million dollar refund.

No doubt helped by all of those wonderful no-bid Halliburton contracts.

I don't know if this goes in the WW3 thread, the South Park thread, or this one, but whatever

Exactly!
I had many plans along those lines for weeks. Then, my friend who served on a jury recently, said that you are stuck for the full two weeks regardless. If they don't want you on one jury, you go back to the holding cell until the next trial comes up. So, no matter how many times you get turned down, you're still screwed.
I guess with this in mind it would be better to get on a jury quickly and hope it has a speedy outcome.
Apparently, there is nothing to do while you wait to be called. You just sit there hour after hour. What would I give for a laptop and internet connection? I'd just sit there and trade while I wait. :mrgreen:

[George Costanza]

Too funny. I suppose it would be applicable to all in some sense. :lol:

[NATHAN LLOYD]

George,

Act up (crazy/racist/mad) if you're being interviewed for a big case. This way you can select which case you think will be over quickly.

I've just found out from my friend that this strategy won't help either. You are stuck for the full two weeks regardless. If you are on a jury where the trial ends before the two weeks are up, you go right back to the waiting room to wait for another trial. Wash, rinse, repeat!!!
Looks like I'm screwed for two whole weeks no matter what I do. :mad:
