No Apples / Sexy Erin Bondageby Danny on August 28th, 2008 at 2:57:15 pm |
Market rally, yeah!! Wooooo. Buy some stocks! GDP bro!
Apple Inc. [[AAPL]]
Research In Motion Limited (USA) [[RIMM]]
What gives bros? Rollin over on me? Don’t you watch Cramer? That was the bottom! Sack up!
Dow at 11,700? S&P 1300? Little to no overhead resistance there.
Well, at least all those studies that validate buying strength will put the wind in my sails.

Erin: I talked about how some of the first money I put in the market was in 1998, and I wasn’t allowed to buy individual stocks. It hasn’t been a great decade.
Matt Nesto: [chuckling, not laughing]Â It’s pretty nice when your financial anchor discloses she’s a lousy investor!
Erin: No! I wasn’t allowed to own individual stocks!
Matt: Ohhhhhh, she’s an excellent investor who was handcuffed?
Erin: That’s how I would prefer to describe it.
Matt: I think that’s a great image too.
I agree with Matt Nesto 100% here.
obviously, I am shorting this rally via SDS.
400 @ 63.82
August 28th, 2008 at 3:07:56 pmGood call Boone. I am selling my USD, QLD, and UWM in the morning, for handsome gains.
August 28th, 2008 at 4:05:48 pmI think I need help with picturing the image…Photoshop-time, anyone?

AAPL dropped like a rock today as the Bloomberg-Steve Jobs obituary ‘oops’ filtered out to a wider audience. Nasdaq up almost 1.25% and AAPL down? Inconceivable!
When that man goes, I could easily see AAPL get back under $100 right quick.
August 28th, 2008 at 5:48:13 pmOh, you guys are so naughty! Keep it up and someone is going to get a spanking.
August 28th, 2008 at 6:58:26 pmgive it to me boca!
August 28th, 2008 at 7:09:38 pmhahaha you wish.
August 28th, 2008 at 7:13:37 pmboca, I have a spiked paddle in my garage if you want to borrow it.
August 28th, 2008 at 7:25:05 pmNo special equipment needed, Alpha, but thanks. Just be sure to remember to kiss the pointy toe of my high-heeled black leather boots. Just kidding….
August 28th, 2008 at 7:52:38 pmdamn boca, karma for that.

This site “JUMPED THE SHARK”
There is no doubt about it. Jeff had an awesome site that was getting a ton of hits, traffic, and community involvment. Then, he goes an starts TA and leaves everyone who didnt join holding the bag. If you really think about it, it was a horrible business move. Cut off more than half your visitors to profit off few. He went for the short money (monthly fee) when he could have developed OA even more and sold it one day for real money. Now, he leaves this leftover,quiet ghost town thinking people who dont join his 300 only pay service (which isnt close to sold out) will somehow stick around and make/keep the site great like it was before. It will never happen. People have many options when it comes to content. (free and pay). And frankly, how could you expect them to stick around.
If your 300 dont stick around and you cant keep adding new subscribers, your done. YOU took everyone that visited OAand contributed on the tread for GRANTED, the community that was. It wasnt just about you and your insights, it was about trading ideas with regulars. Like it or not, you will never have it again on this site (OA), and you will never have it on the new site (TA). because 3/4 of the family just moved out of town. Blogs are only as good as the traffic and involment of everyone. Pay sites are only as good as your total subscribers, which my friend, you will struggle to get and then hope they decided to stay. Meanwhile the other 3/4 dont join the pay service will find another home (site)
Sorry to be harsh Jeff, but you fucked yourself. and just gave away a TON of people and visitors for what $59 a month for 300 people (HOPEFULLY).- dumb dumb dumb. Did you put any thought into this move before hand. Yeah, I know, I know, you want to keep it small and do it because you love to teach and keep your skills keen blah blah blah. But you might as well shut OA down because it is gasping for air and will die a fast death. Im sure that was a decision you made and new what the outcome would be.
Look on the bright side, you just helped to direct thousands away from OA and to other place like ibanckcoin.com , hitthebid.net and many others.
By the way, the trip idea is bullshit. You cut off a third of your traffic to earn a few bucks, put everyone else out, then want to smooth things over and have an outing? Your kidding right? If you want everyone to get together, come visit us all over at ibackcoin.com. We will be enjoying our new home and not spending money on airfare tickets and hotel to be with a few people from TA.
Thanks but no thanks.

Now that boca has got us all riled and has turned this page into R-rated, I will definitely need that photoshop. Pronto.
August 28th, 2008 at 9:54:03 pmYeah, I’m gonna need a photoshop as well.
August 28th, 2008 at 11:07:26 pmOr, you could try this.
Note: that OA post/comment got taken down on the actual OA site. Apparently the criticism hurt…

Alba is off my list thanks to her pregnancy uglification. She’ll obviously will get put back on once she undergoes the Hollywood miracle baby mama diet/plastic surgery.
Current #1 is Miranda Kerr. Now I just have to get rid of that pussy orlando bloom.
August 28th, 2008 at 11:08:31 pmI know Alba is done, but those pictures are great.
Here’s a tip: search with “ass.” (You always should search for ass)
The difference in google image search results is amazing.
It’s like a whole different world b/w “miranda kerr” and “miranda kerr ass.” I prefer the latter much to the former. The same is obviously true for Adriana. Search for “Adriana Lima Ass” on a bad day, you have to smile.
—-Bought 200 25$ DELL strikes today before earnings? Lima.
August 28th, 2008 at 11:15:44 pmI know people who claim they know people. We could easily show Orlando “where the ocean is.” If you catch my drift…
August 28th, 2008 at 11:19:16 pmAfter spending what felt like an eternity at Wal-Mart (making preparations for the storm) my night somehow seems a little better after click that link.
Thanks D.
August 28th, 2008 at 11:19:25 pmOh, Wal-Mart, the asshole of the shopping universe. Glad you made it out alive.

Wasn’t watching DELL; the news story says their stock plunged, yet latest AH quote is right at break-even?
Hopefully this will have a nice ripple effect onto my AAPL puts that have meandering sideways for almost 2 weeks now.

I’ll have to think about your proposition of getting Orlando to ’sleep with the fishes’.
