The Color Commentator was in fine form tonight! From CapitalStool.com: capitalstool.com More commentary from Buddha: "I am always reminded of the Twilight Zone episode "To Serve Man" whenever I look at Cheat Street. Idiots are lining up to get on a spaceship for a fantastic vacation and find out their hosts are planning to cook and eat them instead. I have never in my life witnessed such rank hooliganism as what is common on Wall Street. These people rank on the bottom of the ladder, the entire preoccupation is with deception and distortion, lies and prevarications. Kudlow and Cramer are basically just reptiles. Creatures that live under rocks. Lower life forms spawned from eggs." "The whole point of and them for Wall Struck is that black is white and white is black. Sell what is being talked up and buy what is being talked down and then turn off the monitor. Do this in whatever time frame you are comfortable in. All the rest is nonsense in my opinion. Attempting to chart waves and retrace points is all very noble and interesting but it misses the point. One must trade off sentiment and fade it constantly but above all else, one must have a money management strategy that allows for loose stops and a way to leverage the bottoms of these trades so that you don't get constantly swept out of positions by floor men right at the turn." Anybody see Bob “Mr. Clean” Froelich and Jack “Tin Man” Welch on Hee Haw this morning? Can you imagine being a hapless, large breasted 32-year old female Hollywood Production Assistant who knows nothing about the economy or the stock market, inheriting some money from her grandmother, and walking into a brokerage house asking for advice? And then sitting behind the desk listening to recommendations by Froelich and Welch? Do those guys look like they could be trusted to safeguard your inheritance? Can you see them recommending the Merrill Lynch HyperGrowth Special Situations Leveraged Fund with a 5% load? Then walking into the men’s room, high fiving each other, commenting on the perfect size and shape of the poor girl’s mammaries?

man, you needn't remind me about 1969 <ng>. i grew up a Cubs fan; i watched all the games on WGN (after home-schooling was over <g>) in the afternoon, with Jack Brickhouse doing the play-by-play. my mom kept score of EVERY game, on a yellow legal pad. those 1am nights when they were playing on the left coast were tough. since misery loves company, the Red Sox were my AL team; Cubs fans obviously have a special understanding of the anguish suffered by the Sox. since i moved to Boston i have become completely obsessed w/ the Sox, and regrettably have let my old allegiance to the Cubbies fade away. what a team that 1969 Cubs team was. Hundley, Banks, Beckert, Kessinger, Santo, Williams, Hickman. Fergie, Bill Hands, Holtzman and Selma on the mound. Regan closing. i remember like it was yesterday my dad just DYING as the Phillies lost one game after another in September 1964 to blow the pennant, and not understanding what was going on. and then i got my turn in '69. must be what Global Crossing longs felt like <g>. SOMEday they'll win it.... <edit> though i guess not this year, as it now looks like we won't get Colon.... Cheers
