Welcome to the “Platinum Party”

Let us not let the FOMC meeting overshadow iBC’s “Platinum Party.”

As you can see, the 40 ounces of Colt 45 are in the fridge and the spare handguns (just in case someone disrespects your hood) are near the Bernanke chia pet.

To celebrate iBankCoin’s 1 millionth page view, “The Fly” will be sending a “Monster” gift of choice to the lucky leech who is number 1 million. However, it’s worth noting, I can only see the location of the leech, and not the actual person. So, you may need to help confirm.

If you didn’t know by now, “The Fly” has “connections” at [[HANS]].

Finally, with regards to the market, GDP growth of 0.6% confirms the danger we are in. Soon enough, the economy will be printing negative GDP growth and banks will announce a fresh round of losses.

God willing, of course.

Developing…

NOTE: I am a spectator until the Fed decision.

    Q407 GDP was down primarily on a sharp drop in inventories to the tune of 1.3%.

    This short-term imbalance should actually be a boost to the Q108 GDP number.

    Housing is still in the dumpster.

    Boomer:
    Healthways: Would not be surprised to see the stock settle in the low to mid $50s over the near term- Credit Suisse (66.37 ) -Update : Credti Suisse says an M.H.S pilot update from C.M.S puts future of disease management in Medicare in doubt and numerous risks to the commercial business are emerging as the industry become more competitive. They believe the days of the 30+ P/E multiple for HWAY are coming to a close and expect to see the stock under significant pressure in the near term. The firm says do not view Medicare news as just a bump in the road. The industry is changing. Healthways remains the high-quality, industry-leading franchise in D.M, but significant pressures are emerging. They would not be surprised to see the stock settle in the low to mid $50s over the near term, but are maintaining their $60 tgt.

    My kind of party.

    (A poker table and some well-endowed hotties mingling around would be nice too. Just saying….)

    Congratulations.

    WM raised to outperform. 2 weeks ago WM was a buyout target or on the verge of going bankrupt.

    Kass says if 25bps buy on dip and if 50bps sell into strength.

    I can remember when the Colt 45 ads on TV featured a suave dude in a suit – a Roger Moore James Bond type. Can you imagine?

    So I’m oldish, but I squeak in under the limit.
