Sure, np. What kind of reminder would you like? 1 day? 3 days? A week?
Heh, murdered by words, admin edition.

I was thinking we are flirting with the bottom....things will be choppy for a while but there is lots of opportunity out there, imho...solid companies who's share price got dragged down by the falling tide and will likely recover as quickly as any can. Been having some fun with screening/buying small lots of profitable companies who's stocks are at a yearly low, and flipping them in the most favorable time frame.

I'd like a V-shaped deal in terms of employment, working people who need this week's paycheck for next month's rent (or this month's as well) that kind of thing, but it'd be nice if it was more U-shaped with specific respect to debt-backed purchase of assets driving prices back up. Probably wishful thinking.

I know

All this time to surf, and even the wind-master Kento is saying its baaaaaad
Actually I was referring to r32 being overly grumpy because of the winds.

Winds are fine right now - I wish I hadn't just looked at the cams as it looks good out near my usual. Only one person out.

Why pray tell why have you not seriously considered temporarily ditching the family unit and catching a wave?

You could be sitting on top of the world. But nooo. Fvckin slacker.

Unfortunately, work (with a side of erBB) is the main schedule.

Large stockpile of books to catch up on too. Not having to drive through traffic, worry about being places a certain time, lots of chill time, don't need to interact face-to-face with people I don't want to, less phone calls disrupting the serenity, minimal expenses.

I love this.

I AM sitting on top of the world.

With the waves good and one guy out and your surfing activity soon to become 100% virtual and that weakass excuse you came up with all I can say is I’m just glad GEO isn’t here to see this.

I am a bit more disciplined at telecommuting than GEO. And the State Water Board officially came down and said f*ck all your excuses about missing reporting deadlines. And there are many right now.

Anyone care to guess when stock markets will reach bottom?
What did Gromsdad say to me when I asked a similar question?

"Who cares what we think. Put your money down with a broker and let us know how it works out for ya. "


And what did GWS say?

"Who are the stock market guru surfers? I spent 20 years making my living managing pension/profit sharing money and high net worth individual money in the stock market. Market timing is always a fool's game. Today's guru is tomorrows bum. You take steps re what you think is a probable market direction sometimes, but unless you're a fool, they are incremental. To mitigate short term market problems you maintain a diversified portfolio and have a long term outlook. I used to tell people that if they had a time horizon shorter than ten years they should take their business elsewhere.

But the irony here is YOU are the one who is coming on, playing guru and looking for a someone to "bet"with you. You want to be a day trading cowboy, open up that brokerage account and try your hand at this in the real world."


Guess these guys will want to say the same to you, so here, saved everyone some trouble.

I'll guess that there will be a few more big drops.

Then a few more big ups.

When the volatility starts to drop, the bottom should be more obvious.

And then is when I'll be proven wrong again.

But vague answers like this means you don't get praise (or line up against the wall and shot), so, June 19.

nobody knows where the bottom is but if you see crude at 10 a barrel drop 10% of your 401k into an energy fund and sit on it for 10-20 years.
