School and Baseball......


So baseball fever has hit Philly in the wake of the World Series win.  I couldnt care less about baseball.....or any other sport for that matter - so maybe thats my issue with the following comments and I acknowledge my lack of team spirit, but heres the deal.....

Last night Zev's school sent a mass voicemail to parents (yes, a very fancy system, who's stated purpose was to inform parents when there is an emergency - yea ok) saying that the children should come to school wearing red and white today and that the children would be participating at school in a large rally in honor of the Phillies........

Um, hello  - i have issues here!!  How about some parsha which Zev has yet to learn this year....how about you go back and teach my kid something about sukkos and simchas torah - cuz he learned NUTHIN'!  Im really not happy paying almost $2k/month in tuition to have my kid go to a rally for a baseball team........

Sure - Im all about fun......and I really dont begrudge anyone their sports - to each their own....but seriously!!!

Steven saying Im being unreasonable, maybe I am.

Go Away........Please!

"I've got my sight now
I see everything you hid
So don't you try to right now
All the wrong you did
I might forget you
But not forgive "

Trades for Friday 10/24/08

So it didnt take a genius to short anything at the close on Thursday - 98% of stocks we down on Friday, so needless to say, all picks were fine.

No new picks for the close of Friday, due to the drastic drop....Ill wait til Monday.

Question........


Im a stock market junky........Ive been so as long as I can remember.  I can talk stocks and the market all day long (much to the chagrin of my friends and family).  This market has been pretty extraordinary and I think even the average non-junky has noticed.
So I have a question............how has all of this financial/market crisis effected you personally?

Short Selling

I get asked a lot about short selling.  It seems to confuse people, but here's a great article...

Well, Well......


Who called the Dow below 10k?
Ahem!
Anyway - yes Im still trading........no, Im not long ANYTHING!  Which means, since earnings season hasnt kicked in yet, Im not trading everyday.
Today's pick - short AYI
Thursday's pick - short MOS - kept until Monday - yielded over $1
Im not totally confident about today's pick.  Any little good news will make the market swing in the other direction, but it fits.....
