Hello Bill, your loud bolsterous cheer was much appreciated! .75, wow that certainly shows a great deal of devotion...my hat is off to you. I trust there will be no objection if you are appointed the Grand Marshall in today's parade!
Objections anyone?
Having said this, I would like for us all to take a moment and observe a sacred ritual.
Legend has it that on the 1ST day of August small animal sacrifices are particularly effective in warding off evil spirits. In this politically correct era, such things are frowned upon so I have prepared some (hopefully) equally effective offerings.
Just this morning I went on a buying trip to all the area thrift stores and have amassed over 300 stuffed animals, the vast majority are cutesy little teddy bears. After careful analysis of their fur and stuffing I have determined all are 100% free of animal by-products. Well, there was one that was filled with a white powder, I set it aside for further analysis.
Anyway, I have them all piled up in my backyard, doused them with kerosene and at precisely 11:47 am EDT, I will set fire to them and perform a ritual dance handed from one generation to the next on my father's side of the family. We are not quite sure of the name as my great-grandfather had a cleft pallet (sp?) he pronounced it "mmmucla-shomanna", the exact movements have been faithfully recorded and are quite effective for their original purpose, which was to raise earth-worms for the annual harvest. I've never tried it on a stock issue before...been saving it for a special occaison.
Also, I have a Talisman which consists of horsehair, chewing gum, and bits of balled up rubber from turn #11 at the Road Atlanta race course where I once sailed over the handlebars of a motorcycle at 100+ mph, this is to bring courage in the face of the much feared Market Makers. I am suitably attired in a shark skin suit which was fashioned in the traditional garb of the Holy One, the MM.
ADGI is not quite awake yet, so I will pull away a few scales from it's reptilian ears and whisper softly "wake up little ADGI, baby needs a new pair of shoes".
There that should do it....now, everyone tip-toe out of the room and check back in approx. 1 hour.ssssssshhhhhhh, please, no messages until 12:30 or the trance state may be broken.
til then....today's goal is a 3 cent higher close, we can do it if we are properly "centered". |
