Blogs are like diarys/journals that map your relative madness...
Heard a 'radio advertisement' today... and it said,"If you pass up a deal like this, you'll make a man who talks to lamposts look sane". So it goes. Relativity is the ultimate excuse. Probability corrects this.

anyways... there was so much shit on message boards these days... somehow, on a paid prescription board(I don't pay but have the passwords), the conversation started with Barclays' Bank and for whatever reason Diageo stock.... The last time I checked the site, this was the sequence of messages:

Todd at 8:59pm November 15
Can you burn wood in a microwave?

Joshua at 9:07pm November 15
hahaha... Red Lobster has a team of scientists on top of it.

Ax at 9:13pm November 15
You want Lobster? I'm talking Burger Kaannng'

Pieter at 9:16pm November 15
the price of lobster is down to like $4/lb domestically. Lobster men in the northeast are hurting badly. Many of them may lose their lobster boats. My point being that soon you may see lobster at Burger king. My hope is that they will have a lobster happy meal...

Ax at 9:24pm November 15
Yeah, but kids don't eat seafood... unless they were born with 'gills'.

Todd at 9:25pm November 15
Isn't Red Lobster a bit redundant anyway. I bet Green Lobster has been cooking over wood for years

Ax at 9:27pm November 15
You're right... It's like 'Rich Jew'. just kidding josh...

Josh at 9:28pm November 15
Kids in West Hartford CT where i come from eat Caviar... and yes i love green anything, Lime green is my favorite color.

LongGamma at 9:29pm November 15
Sweet! So who did you like better: 'Frog' or 'Toad'?

Josh at 9:29pm November 15
Ax you always have a free pass with jew jokes in my book... Sigh

Todd at 9:30pm November 15
And what's the deal with Bonefish Grill? Fish haters usually site bones as the deal-breaker

Josh at 9:31pm November 15
Toad's have a little bit more character than Frogs, but they are a little bit less green...

Pieter at 9:32pm November 15
Ken, Ken... I was refering to 'Frog and Toad' the children's books of yesteryears...

Krypton at 9:33pm November 15
that's a good point Mr. Seinfeld... The advertising guy who came up with that should lose his job and country club membership.

Josh at 9:34pm November 15
oh yea the frog and toad story of yesteryear. I can't remember the details of the story but i see no reason why the frog and toad shouldn't get along.

Pieter at 9:37pm November 15
they were pals....

Josh at 9:42pm November 15
That's good to hear. My sister has an exotic tree frog that can actually smile. Now that i think about it i guess i prefer frogs to toads. Frogs can smile, they are more colorful and not as lazy as toads.

AX at 9:44pm November 15
that was kinda the point of the book...

Josh at 9:45pm November 15
the book slandered toads? that's ill.

Quantgirl at 9:45pm November 15
it was totally 'ill' in that respect. Toad was dark, Frog was light... etc etc...

Fundamental + Technicals = LEHMAN Awful

2008-07-05T13:34:00.002-04:00

We all know now that the fundamentals of Lehman are quite horrific, and basically FUBARed. This coupled with Thursday's (July 3rd, 2008) straightforward massive downside Volume Spike into the close wiped out the majority of the three day gains and pushed LEH back down below $23. Clearly, this adds up to a TakeUnder, perhaps by Barclays well into the low teens, if not single digits. Barclays in 2007 had already obtained financing for a Takeover in Europe of ABN AMRO, but lost the bid to Fortis/Santander/RBS consortium. Which basically means, LEH is their best target, and the timing is perfect, as Fortis/Sant/RBS are now realizing that they paid far too much for ABN AMRO. Indeed, Barclay's was lucky enough to LOSE the BID on ABN, and can now purchase LEH at a very low price, as the timing is now optimal. And that's that, and we'll see it on Monday. Hope you enjoyed Independence Day, my fellow Americans.

Scapegoats of Societe Generale...

2008-01-26T16:13:00.000-05:00

Consider that Societe Generale had just announced a 1.2billion loss from subprime(the day before they released the news of the 5billion loss from the trader) which based on the trader news instilled a 5.5billion 'emergency' injection' from shareholders. I smell a young scapegoat for a larger subprime problem that has been brewing at Societe Generale for several years now, using a nutjob young trader as a media diversion tactic to cover their losses in subprime caused by the non-rank and file executives. This kid didn't profit from any of his rogue trades, and the staggering loss was registered within less than a month? So that raises a red flag to me, saying there's much more to this then some wackjob kid. Yeah, that's my speculative take on the story.

Bottom line, start buying SocGen stock now, as more hostile takeover attempts begin.

DELL: Rise and Shine Asshole, You just got your ass reemed!

2007-11-29T21:27:00.000-05:00

Anyways, be careful when trading off of 'top-line' figures when earnings come out. Example, DELL came in with higher revenue than estimates last night, and I leaped on it because I had an itchy trigger finger, saw alot of buying pressure, and my brain was tired from studying. Of course DELL ends up missing 'bottom-line' estimates by a penny. Shares drop 10% after hours, so I have no choice but to turn it into an 'investment' and not a short term 'trade'.

In trading, when you start to hope and pray, you're dead. So I'm setting aside my rosaries for the time being and putting my confidence on consumers in Russia, South America, and India to lead DELL into growth, and not so much the actual management. During the conference call, Michael Dell dares to make a stupid joke around 20:45, and the CFO around 52:00 basically lapses into 'senile dementia' and says 'we can't find a single project of ours that doesn't have a negative cash flow' (he meant to say positive, but he must've been drooling down his Alzheimer's lip waiting to retire).

Well, it's a rather long call but you might want to buy some DELL after the dump today: http://www.visualwebcaster.com/VWP/Player/advplayer.html?id=44187&uid=2107630&time=GEELFFHEEEJEGI&digest=G4jBPfrFQBdY6V5dlJLRNA

Battlefield Etrade: Quagmires

2007-11-28T15:18:00.000-05:00

In the circled areas on the picture, you can see one such exchanges 'market depth' for Etrade stock. Bids to buy on the left, Offers to sell on the right. With the top line as front line troops. Frequently, the large numbers are 'bluffs'. Sometimes they are real, and it puts a ceiling or floor on the current price action. It's very similar to a battlefield at a significant strategic area (the peak of Kashmir, the shores of Normandy... etc). If one side wins, if one side 'cuts the Gordian Knot'... they can become the Master of Asia...

...sometimes it's a battle of attrition between small bits of infantry... sometimes it's like dropping the feared atom bomb... Warren Buffett I believe dropped a small bomb today against the 'sellers' of Etrade stock... the initial impact large... and the 'radiation' keeps cutting through in latter days...

After two quick shots of Jaegermeister in my dismay over being stood up, a drunken man of considerable height over me, decided to play the dangerous game with Lockheed, on W72nd and Broadway... Now realize: I am a Moral at War, and I protect whatever assets I have left, and proactively avoid any sign of extra debt, as I bounce to and fro, gracefully and in stability, readied in my learned boxer's stance. I ask the man, 'Are you ready?' As I draw my fists upwards, elbows tucked in close. 'Are you ready to learn how to trade?' By this I mean, 'trading punches'. I don't bother with a probing jab, because this man knows nothing of physical pain. I lead with a tight left hook upon his jaw, the ballerina pulsation of my legs contributes to the distribution of force. He drops promptly. I quickly depart around the corner of Gray's Papaya...

On his Plastic Crucifix...

2007-07-18T12:54:00.000-04:00

So I'm closing up shop in NYC for at least a year. I still get a laugh out of Bear Stearns' subprime hedge funds which went belly up in June. Only because I can't imagine who the hell in that department got hired, and why? And who the morons who invested in it are? Leverage alone can be deadly, but leverage upon leverage to invest in people who are ridiculously leveraged(subprime mortgage borrowers, who are known to pike off debt)... It's like giving my homeless friend Charles $10.00 that I borrowed from a loan shark, and hope by next week he'll turn it into say, $15.00, by buying a 2 string guitar and learning how to play Cat Stevens and Harry Chapin to passerbys on the corner of Gray's Papaya. (Now, 'Tyrone', who I 'invested in' in the years 2001-2003, on the other hand, actually did finally purchase a bass guitar and actually does reasonably well for himself playing renditions of Marvin Gaye and Earth Wind and Fire.)

Funny quote:
"They are a big investment house. They are supposed to be professional,” said one fund of funds executive. “There is nothing to do now except maybe go shoot the guy who did it.” I'd correct that in saying, 'shoot the 'kids' who did it, because I bet they were wet behind the ears, and have no clue how to cut losses, because they can't stand the pain, because they haven't been there yet. Pikers.

With that said... I visited NYU, Columbia, etc, the top business schools in the world... and I saw so many black, asian, white people with superior credentials attending... and I knew then, and actually chuckled to myself... I told myself, 'Now you know, son.' Because I've always been my own father and child to myself. The comeuppance is when even when you are using the 'manic' phase of bipolar to your advantage(studying my ass off and networking like crazy), you realize, you're totally expendable. There are so many asians that are just as good and better. Maybe I'm just like my father, two fold...

Well, I've suffered from the occasionaly bouts of 'hypoxia' while sleeping this past month or two, waking up completely dissociative and in panic, so my CNS is not in the best shape, but if I continue, I'm sure I passed my CFAI, and can take CFAII in July 2008... but first things first, GMATS on July 9th. I'm sure I'll get an 800. It's a cakewalk, and I'm a master at probabilities on the multiple choice sections...

Aside from this, I NEED TO BE ALONE... Chained to my fate... Big fucking deal... You think I fucking care at this point? These things happen exponentially when it approaches the end of the chapter... a simple literary technique....
