- Man, I got grilled in a meeting here at the Fun Factory today. One of those where I was pulled in at the last minute and assumed to be the expert on something that I had no information on. "Huh?" I tried denying any knowledge whatsoever, but that didn't satisfy the herd. Then I tried to make up stuff (ie, educated guesses with lots of caveats), and things got worse. Finaly, I tried to be dismissive with "get back ta ya laters." No dice. What's a muckdog to do? I threw out some information, and ran like hell. I left the meeting with tons of nervous energy. Some would call that anxiety. I don't know.
- Then I saw the market. You know, another good day. Considering yesterday's blast off to the moon. Earnings afterhours look so-so, but when the fish are biting nobody seems to care. Lots of bricks in the wall of worry that nobody cares about. Is gas on the way to $4? Does anyone care? Will Iran have nukes? Whatever! Interest rates moving up? Tell it to your momma, boy!
- Not that I'm justifying or rationalizing anything. Just saying.
- Seriously, price is the ultimate stock market indicator. It always works. The Black Box does what it can, but sometimes it isn't right. So what's a muckdog to do? No worries, mate. Patience is the best ally. There are always more set-ups coming. Don't cry over spilt semis.
- Wednesdays. Lost. I love Lost. I hate commercials. I think I'm getting to the point where I record everything and watch it later. Don't tell the advertisers, though. I think there's a new America's Next Top Model on, too. Tyra Banks is too funny.
- I see this article where Hu Stands Firm on Chinese Currency, and I think Kelly Hu? If she had anything to say about the Chinese currency or anything else for the matter, I'd probably listen. I thought she was great in Martial Law. Undercover officer in a bikini. What's wrong with that?
- This is the last day of Fantasy Basketball. I have a slim hold on 2nd place. So it'll be interesting to see what happens tonight. I'm hoping that the stars mail it in and the subs get a lot of playing time.
- Intel wasn't so great afterhours, but it's up anyways. Hey, that's what bull markets are all about.
- TELL IT TO YOUR MAMMA, MUCKDOG!
