Gee, Think.

Okay… So my analysis of the Qs volatility (QQV) turned out to be completely and utterly wrong. The Qs did not experience any significant upward movement this week. Actually they’ve been dropping like a rock, and their volatility is still going up. It’s bouncing off some of the fibonacci levels that I drew in my chart, but its not really treating them as significant resistance.

I knew when I did this analysis that I had not been rigorous because I didn’t have much time to look at bonds, commodities, or currencies. I didn’t expect to be so completely wrong though.

So maybe I should continue my analysis, but with a different strategy. I’ll continue to analyze the markets and come up with my trading thesis. Then I’ll do the exact opposite. If I could have replayed my trading history since March 1st in this way, and including the opposite of my QQV predicition, I’d be up over 40% on the year. I figure that I could ride out this anti-thesis play for a while. Then once I start losing with it I’ll know that my analsys is actually getting good and I’ll switch.

Today the New Jersey police were getting really serious. They had both
entrances to the PATH platform gaurded by squads of 6-8 officers with
several canines as well. They had large sandwich boards that said by
entering the PATH train you must submit your bag for search upon request
of an officer.
DANG!!
Now I’m not smuggling anything illegal, but if I was I would not have
taken the PATH today. No way was anyone going to get through there
looking suspicious.
This was a little scary. I’m not in emotional distress now, but it gave
me a little jump. I would have taken a picture, but I didn’t want to be
searched or detained.
I think when it comes down to it I’m okay with this police state scare
tactic because I believe that there is a real threat out there. Have I
been fooled by 5 years of government propganda? Has the state created
an environment of fear in order to control the poeple? Maybe. But
really I’m glad that squads of police with dogs are going to scare the
**** out of “the bad guys.”
If the boogeyman IS out there, do I want him riding my train? HECK
NO!!
Thank you officers.

“Feel The Earth”
That’s really funny. The slogan just strikes me as comical. Here in
NYC they have to advertise the opportunity to actually touch the dirt.
There isn’t enough of it around. All the dirt has been paved over with
asphalt or cobblestone. Of course there’s central park, but I don’t
think people can go there to start their own garden.
Feeling the earth was a daily occurence in my childhood. I walked
through the woods on my way to school each morning. Most days I was
outside digging holes which later became mud pits. Playing in the dirt,
grass, and trees was my thing as a kid. It’s a shock to see it is a
rarity somewhere else.

When people ask me “Why ‘Get The Money 2006′?” I have one simple answer:
jewels!
I am running this campaign single mindedly. I have one objective, and
that is to game the options market in order to buy rubies, emeralds,
diamonds, and other precious stones.
Jewels are not just about dazzling jewelry, they’re also important for
treasure chests. There’s nothing like having a chest of jewels buried
away somewhere to give you piece of mind. Where else could you turn
when your home is ran sacked? That’s when you want to have a treasure
map with an X marking the spot, the jewel spot.

Some people would say that picking up hitch hikers is too dangerous
these days. Well, it’s not like I do it everyday, but I couldn’t pass
by this charming young lady. It was really her cool hat that roped me
in. We happened to be headed the same way, down to Pittsburgh. It’s
nice to have company like her on a long trip. We sang songs through the
driving rain.

Whoa now! Look out fellas, girls from Maine aren’t all sunsets and dewy
mornings!

Who ever had this much fun studying for an AP calculus Exam? I sure
didn’t. That’s one of the great things about Lucy and her friends, they
can have a blast studying the etheral mysteries of the derivative and
trigonometric identities. Say what now?

Ugly Tomatoes? What? What’s going on here. “Ugly” can’t be a kind of
tomato. So is Stop & Shop telling me that the have unappealing
produce? I don’t get it. Have you ever seen tomatoes labelled this
way?

Rusted warehouse, where have your people gone?
Who has spray painted you? Will there be ever be more deliveries to
your door? Did you close for crime? Did you lose in a time of
hardship?
What is your story Rusted Warehouse?

That’s right. Phil is in some serious trouble with the ladies here! If
you ask me this guy’s getting a aw deal. He cooks, cleans, irons, and
gives everyone a great weekend. This is how he gets repayed. Well,
what can I say? They were a tough crowd.
