THIS PIG IS DESTINED FOR A LUAU OPENPIT BARBEQUE

Agreed...

but just in case own a couple of techies & a bio

Just hedging my bets... FWIW this market was much easier to read this time last year:(

Last year it was like taking candies from a baby...

This year, much more difficult for traders like me

Wooly - BINGO re: JPM

["...JPMorgo is like a monster with 18 legs
balancing a $25 trillion pyramid of derivatives atop its shoulders in the last couple years, about 6-8 legs have been kicked out..."]

AMEN ~

JPM is the damn BEESELBUBB-AntiChrist of free markets.

I think we have only seen just a small peak behind the "wizzards curtain in OZ"... where markets are anything but, free... where in fact markets are "stabilized , intervened upon and otherwise "fixed" in innumerable ways... from the PPT/ESF "stabilizing interventions"... to the "Rubinites KING DOLLAR - Gold Carry Trade free money" play, to the IPO Insider palm greasing & CEO Treasury Rapes & Pillages that we've all seen of late...

(PS: envision Kozlowski being "passed" around Rikers Island for a few months - unable to make bail with his ASSets frozen...

- it won't be any $4,000 shower curtains they'll be draping around his ass fwiw (vbg)~

This game has never been tilted anywhere near level and certainly never toward the little guy... only the birth of the information age & the internet has "begun" to pull the curtain back... to expose the "Fix"... but, don't begin to confuse that with - "the playing field being leveled"...

We must win with speed, dexterity, information and a strong sense of cynicism and contrarianism.

CASH & Patience and GOLD are our present weapons... the tools of the Individual Investor... and at some time in the not so distant future; to be able to step into the ROGUE WAVE Abyss - walking accross the cold dead carcasses of the likes of a post-derivatives melt-down JPM... will be our sweet revenge ~
