Hi to all I hope everyone is in good health !!! It cost a lot if you do get sick.
I am fine but the profession that I make the real money to pay the real bills
is very very sick " real estate". You all have been there work work work and
still things do not work out. I feel like Edison in his workshop finding out
for the um timth time the light bulb does not lite. This actually happens in
all work places at one time or another. My motto "show up to work
something good could happen."
Enough of the serious stuff , here is what happen.
I signed up for SLO 2 and thought I would keep the SLO1 portfolio
which was set up as a tech sector mutual fund featuring mobile devices.
I never received my start over SLO 2 portfolio so with the market collapse
to the very bottom I went. I around NAV 7.75 or lower and I said #$%^
I better reconsider doing this for a living. !!!!!!!
I wanted to leave that portfolio for an experiment and set up the new one
in a very different way. I wanted to try what our fisherman KB was doing with shorts.
Way does KB need shorts anyway he is always in the middle of some cold river and
he doesn't catch anything. so he never has to come out !!!
Most of you l know I am a reader of investment sites ,blogs and IBD but they do not
have enough pictures for me so what does DuffBeer do to find his stocks ?
I am a taster of fine craft beer- bottle,can or draft. I will search them out.
Why because my ideas come form the bottom of all those empties.
My climb out of the gutter was because I started not only drinking those beers
but reading the labels.
I traded like that drunken sailor Armin(shipping) and the way ward villain
Viking Warrior Don ( minerals). I stole from the Gold Queen shining Becky (gold).
Russ and Tom said Duff your way to aggressive try some old time
favorites and let them pay you (at&t & divi's). What are fiends for they got the drunken
Realtor out of the gutter. They could not leave me there I owed them all money !!!!
While drinking my beer and I do not spill it on the key board like VW has done.
I should patent a keyboard with beer bottle holders for him. Here are the sites
I visit often.
Noteable call -- seeking alpha ---- navallier ---- yahoo finance ( fancy word for me!!!)
MSN money (i once had some ) ------ market watch ----- fund my mutual fund
--- zach stocks -- IBD ( a very good source)
Sure I had some good ideas but I own my spot on the front page because of two reasons.
I learned to sell take what you can and put it to work somewhere else.
Taking a loss is part of making money. My SLO 1 friends Tom, Armin , Russ, Becky, KB,
Eileen and it pains me to say I even learned something from VAD and VW !!!!! I still am
better looking they are . With mug shot like they have they should be locked up
and throw away the key .LOL
Thanks to all of you !!!!!! I am thirsty and guess what is the only thing I have in the frig ?
Cheers, DuffBeer

Dr. DuffBeer Dement-O O' FOAMent-O,
Where have you Been - in Loonie Bin, that's where !
They captured you in a ButterFly net & Took you Away and put you in a padded cell with 50 guys who all think that they are Napoleon.
Vad wants you put into the Siberian Gulag version of a detention center for the seriously
Neurotic. The guys in the white-coats aren't Ice-Cream truck drivers - They are KGB !!!
Your inarticulate, baseless & slanderous R/E-MARX about my handsome countenance and pleasant demeanor are totally Vacant Assertions - as vacant as the fore-closed WindMills of your Mind.
So. it's true. In the Greater Chicago Metro Area the Inmates do run the Asylum

DuffBeer,
Don't let us thirsty while sailing those high seas. Go on strongly and design any immaginable label so we could stole something or for us anything wouldn't work anyway, no empties are of any help. Throw away that key, not a frig please, we deserved it!
Congrats for SLO ranking!

Dave,
Congratulations on making it onto the leaderboard. I was going to counsel you, that you needed to change both your beverage and your career, maybe drink wine and become a stock broker.
What you're doing works, checking out blogs and listening to what others have to say, so you could stick with your choice of beverage, but make a living out of stock trading.
Maybe go pro like Vad is going to do?

Congrats on the major comeback. Everyone has an opinion but deciding which ones work for you seems to be the trick. Seems like you picked the best of each of the other traders to get out of the hole. That's a tough trick.
Glad to see you blogging again.

VW!!!
Should we start thinking about coronation and "gala post modern procession" in favor of Duffbeer including special guests, dressing code, drinks allowed etc.? I know, you're creative so Voila.
What's about one virtual journey for SLO 3 on board the vessel ASTRA, sailing from West to East Coast via Panama Canal, we are all the crew, characters and stockpickers, Duffbeer is the Master...just an idea!
In the meantime LOL
Cheers!

Astuk,
Since I am a Pimping Party Planner, I will consider ORGANizing a Bonzo DuffBeer X-travaGONZO.
He needs to be locked up in a Sanitarium, so I'm thinking about a Sanitizing SANE-itary theme. How about Chlorine Bleach on the Beach - it tastes better than DuffBrew and the outside air is fresher than his stALE ale. Not So ???
Vad had a Coronation - DuffBeer gets a CHLOROnation !!!
The event will take place in Milwaukee on Plank Road where PBR ( Pabst Blue Ribbon ) MacroBrew is dementedly fermented. We'll have a Grand PROcession from Plank Road to some Garbage Skow on Lake Michigan. The Grand Finale will be when DuffBeer is made to walk the PLANK.
You can be Cap'n Ahab; I'll be Cap'n KID.
Vad can be Admiral POTemkin
Don Ferk ( fka VikingWarrior )
How about this NightMARE ( Mare being Latin for SEA ) for the Theme Song :
Bob Dylan's 115th Dream

WE could burn the garbage after taking out the trash, which consists of NR empties and the Duffer hisself, but Duff doesn't deserve a Viking Sea Burial -- the Beer in Valhalla is too good to waste on Mr. No Taste. Not So ???
PS : Duff's #1 again as of May 16, 2008.
It's enough to make Moby Dick BLOW chunks of Ambergris.

Duff:
Nice to see you at the top of the leaderboard. This "recession" has been hitting me so hard that I am working all the overtime I can get.....I have time for nothing except work!!! No complaints here! Since my last blog, I have sunk into the abyss....ya know...where you were last round! I'll bring up the rear and you can lead from the front.
By the way, the wife is getting anxious about getting a house....we are going in on Saturday to the bank to discuss options. Don't know when we will pull the trigger, but it is getting more and more difficult to tame this tiger I call my wife. Any suggestions? She is at least being logical.....must be the math teacher coming out. Until next time.

Congratulations on being number one!!!! Sorry I've been one of the annoying slackers who doesn't do anything with her portfolio this round of the competition. Life conspired against it. I've managed to read MSN's Strategy Lab from time to time, and this morning, there you were, top billing.

Last night I saw a progam on TV showing Real Estate Agents in Bagdad. The Agents said suddenly homes are selling fast and at a premium. They said they would be happy to show American Agents how to do it. They have to pay cash for homes and buildings in Iraq, and they are, even for the homes selling for more than a million U.S. I don't believe most of what I see on TV, yet I laughed hard and thought if Duff had enough beer, he could do it.
