It's the price of oil stupid! ~ The Boom Boom Room's motto on Silicon Investor ~
When I created this thread perhaps I mistakenly assumed that everyone that might be interested in it knew my market philosphy already.
It's quite simple.
All stocks are shit
All stocks are shit
All stocks are shit
The sooner you realise this the sooner you will be able to trade properly. Got a losing position? That stock was a piece of shit. Dump it.
Got a winning position? Amazing such a piece of shit could run, sell it.
The market is all about buying and selling. If you aren't selling you aren't making money. ~ Wayne Rumball - on Silicon Investor ~
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose.. ~ Me and Bobby McGee.. Sung by Janis Joplin, Penned by Kris Kristoferson.. ~

There is an endless supply of white men.
There has always been a limited number of human beings. From the movie Little Big Man.. 1970..
Do you see this fine thing? Do you admire the humanity of it?
Because the human beings, my son, they believe everything is alive.
Not only man and animals. But also water, earth, stone. And also the things from them... like that hair.
The man from whom this hair came, he's bald on the other side, because I now own his scalp!
That is the way things are. But the white man, they believe EVERYTHING is dead.
Stone, earth, animals. And people! Even their own people! If things keep trying to live, white man will rub them out.
That is the difference. From the movie Little Big Man.. 1970..
May you grow up to be righteous,
May you grow up to be true,
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you.
May you always be courageous,
Stand upright and be strong,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young. ~ Forever Young - Bob Dylan ~
Slim: I'm hard to get, Steve. All you have to do is ask me. ~ Bogart Bacall Brennan - To Have and Have Not (1944) ~
Slim: You know you don't have to act with me, Steve.

You just put your lips together and... blow. ~ Bogart Bacall Brennan - To Have and Have Not (1944) ~
Eddie: Was you ever bit by a dead bee? ~ Bogart Bacall Brennan - To Have and Have Not (1944) ~

Gold Hat: Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges. I don't have to show you any stinking badges. ~ The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948) ~
Howard: Say, answer me this one, will you? Why is gold worth some twenty bucks an ounce?
Flophouse Bum: I don't know. Because it's scarce.
Howard: A thousand men, say, go searchin' for gold.
After six months, one of them's lucky: one out of a thousand.
His find represents not only his own labor,
but that of nine hundred and ninety-nine others to boot.
That's six thousand months, five hundred years, scramblin' over a mountain, goin' hungry and thirsty.
An ounce of gold, mister, is worth what it is because of the human labor that went into the findin' and the gettin' of it. Flophouse Bum: I never thought of it just like that. Howard: Well, there's no other explanation, mister. Gold itself ain't good for nothing except making jewelry with and gold teeth. ~ The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948) ~

Ain't no man can avoid being born average, but there ain't no man got to be common. ~ Satchel Paige ~
The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe.
If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened.
But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche |
