The meaning of all these ones. Hmmm... 111 days would put us on Dec. 9th (looked back at my receipt and it was actually for August 20th) if I'm counting right. 11 days after that would put us 2 days before the...WINTER SOLSTICE on December 22! 22! Ye Gods! 22! Not only that but double 22, you get 44. Add 2 zeros and you get 4400. THAT'S the bottom folks of the DOW. You heard it hear first.

Now Thean. I own a T.V. but we only use it to watch Winnie the Pooh and Jurassic Park videos. We had a dozen of 'em, but we lost one. I haven't watched a network show in years. Rots your brain. Radio? I only listen to it in the car, especially AM 1100 (no joke). Our stereo system is in boxes awaiting the grand opening of our new addition that was supposed to be finished 11 MONTHS AGO!

Anyway, don't you think you're being a bit nippy here with this accusation stuff, eh? I mean really, comparing me to BC (is that the comic or the guy in Washington?). I seek my fame an fortune with dem dar flesh and blood types...not from electronic personas found around these here parts. Do you REALLY think I'd waste my time?

Hey, I know...what if I fax you my Home Depot receipt, eh? You know, the $111.11 one that I made up after I heard about the crash on the T.V. I don't watch? Nah, you'd figure out my HD credit card number and get me to pay for your addition.

Enough of that. Drillers, drillers, drillers. I think I'll nibble on that Fidelity Select Energy Service thing again next week. Last time I bailed it was at $17. I was going to wait for it to drop to $11, but...
For the record I took up your suggestion LT and got a bundle of Maytag puts. Very nice profit so far. Got back into NKE puts...at a better price, but not by much. Still sitting on my EK puts. Sure wants to fill that gap. Nice gold collection too.
I'm finding these 2000 year leaps much more calming for my trigger finger. I'll have a tendency to let them run rather than trade 'em like I did my CCI and DELL.

LT, you know how to call 'em. You've been right on every call you've made so far...except the interest rate thing. New lows today (you mentioned Tuesday would be it I think). I'm wagering they'll go lower still...I've got money on it too...haven't locked in my refi on my house yet. Can't do it anyway, since the construction has to be finished first <g> so I guess this project time extension has been a blessing.

Have a great weekend everyone.
BTW, the wife and I are considering keeping Big Jake at home and not doing shock therapy 'til Kindergarten. And think of the stories he and I can dream up together to inspire more discussion here! <ggg>
