OFFICIAL THREAD about "NOTHING"

[Patler]

APPLE stock is really cheap here. This almost seems like Free Money............PATLER ??? U r the voice of reason..if there is one....thoughts ??

I wish I had been at my computer yesterday, but I was tied up on an all day project. There was an opportunity to get AAPL well under $100. I had sold some a while back, because I felt I had too much, but at these prices, I will probably buy more today. AAPL under $105 looks like a 20% gift from the investment gods, maybe even 30% to 50% over a relatively short time. I'm real tempted to sell many other stocks I own, buy a bunch of AAPL, and go on an investment hiatus though the end of the year.

In the last few days I had added to what I held of Ryder, Sketchers and AEO. Last Friday, I bought HUN and TGT. I will keep those but may sell most of my other holdings and look seriously at putting it all into AAPL amd/or the other five.

I wish I had a pile of new investment cash available. There are some very good buys available. It's a somewhat hollow victory cycling money from big losers into the good buys, but that is what I will be doing to hasten my recovery. It has been a bit brutal on the IRAs the past month!

I made a huge mistake with JOY. I bought some when it dropped quickly a few weeks ago, thinking it was just an odd sell-off. Then, the China stuff hit. Now JOY's COO abruptly resigned. I was way too early buying JOY. They are at the bottom of a cycle, but I thought they should recover from around $30 to mid $40s, even during the depths of the mining cycle. Now, I think they might languish in the mid $20s for a while, but when their cycle starts to recover, I will buy again.

It's a bit depressing. I had some high beta stocks that were real solid winners for me, and they have been absolutely crushed this past week. Thinking each day's drop was an anomaly, I have ridden a couple into significant losses. AT this point in my life, especially in an aging bull market, I need to be less greedy with high betas, and sell when I get decent gains. Lesson learned. (I hope!)

My youngest daughter knew Potter pretty well.....great guy...but always pushed it. RIP.

Did she hang out at Camp 4?

I was just out there last week with my 10 and 12 year old sons......we hiked up to Taft Point at dusk (where Potter had his last jump), I was freaking out when they would get anywhere near the edge. I was getting physically ill and had turn around and look the other way.

I love that place though.

Her and her Husband are big into adventure racing, high-lining, yoga, you name it. So their paths crossed fairly often at events and such. I think they had a few of the same sponsors (Prana).

I heard you could do the same thing in Vegas without driving 887kms.

I'd love to see some serious Hot girl to girl action come over for New Years and wrestle and play in jello and in the house of Bretsky....random thought

[Bretsky]

I have to bump because a f'ckin soccer thread had a comment after the last post here.

I dig the DIVA's; but I'd like to see them wrestle naked

As for soccer, LET EUROPE WIN !!!!!!!!

I Googled an Audi dealership in Montreal, Canada for a comparison price. The American Dollar trades very well at this time in Canada against the Looney:

Deep thoughts:
1. A day without sunshine is like, well, night.
2. On the other hand, you have different fingers.
3. Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.
4. Why do psychics have to ask you for your name?
5. I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges.
6. Honk if you love peace and quiet.
7. Despite the cost of living, have you noticed how it remains so popular?
8. Latest survey shows that 3 out of 4 people make up 75% of the world's population.
9. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will sit in a boat all day drinking beer.
10. As long as there are tests, there will be prayer in public schools.
11. A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well.
12. I wish the buck stops here as I could use a few.
13. Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them.

I did not initially love Mr. Robot. The more I think about season one, the more brilliant I find it, though.
