MG, So True! My entry point is actually $72. TM is in at $70 13/16 and was real nervous for a few minutes. My entry into MSFT was my first technically flawed entry point this week. Just didn't see that gap that it had to fill, and ignored a 60-min sto that hadn't finished its thing. Oh well, God protects fools! It's interesting how the 60-min sto on OEX is going down with the price staying flat. Going to be fun to see if we get an exhaustion gap up in front of the Goldman IPO. TB Edit: No sooner than I wrote it OEX falls like a rock!

I let her come to me, but she sat on me and she is BIG and FAT with lots of wrinkles... Took a shot at MRK, in at 70 13/16, will keep the fingers and toes crossed, I need another trade to put me over the triple mark. Glad to see you back posting, we were getting tired of lizzard breath Berney. (g) CU TM

The American investment banker was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were several large yellow fin tuna. The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them. The Mexican replied, only a little while. The American then asked why didn't he stay out longer and catch more fish? The Mexican said he had enough to support his family's immediate needs. The American then asked, "but what do you do with the rest of your time?" The Mexican fisherman said, "I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take siesta with my wife, Maria, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine and play guitar with my amigos, I have a full and busy life." The American scoffed, "I am a Harvard MBA and could help you. You should spend more time fishing and with the proceeds, buy a bigger boat with the proceeds from the bigger boat you could buy several boats, eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a middleman you would sell directly to the processor, eventually opening your own cannery. You would control the product, processing and distribution. You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City, then LA and eventually NYC where you will run your expanding enterprise." The Mexican fisherman asked, "But, how long will this all take?" To which the American replied, "15-20 years." "But what then?" The American laughed and said that's the best part. "When the time is right you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich, you would make millions." "Millions.. Then what?" The American said, "Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take siesta with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar with your amigos." PS: I guess this is a traditional. Im posting it just to take your attention off the swinging cobra/Wall Street.
