Hi to all SLO contestants, how are we all feeling today ????
WOW what happened ?????
I just woke up from having some real bad beer. No I was not in a drunken stupor ,
I am a sensible responsible drinker. I think it was a new product from those
two merging breweries . My wife bought it for me as a present! She said
" honey you deserve this,I am sure you will like it."
The market was pretty choppy when I started
my sampling. Then I passed out and when I awoke
all I saw was red going across the screen.
Can someone out there explain what happened ????
Is this all over Rush Limbaugh disbanding Operation Chaos ????
If so Hillary come back NOW , get back into the chase.
It seems to me when she when she had her crown taken away
and gave it to that Barrack guy Mr Market did not like that.
We have been going down like one of Armin's old tanker ships.
Did any one out there notice that too ????
I have lost my shorts but if you kept some in your closet
you may see that they are the proper attire for the month of May !
It is May or what month is it ???????
I have a plan to stop the falling
Please Hillary come back and it is ok to make Bill VP.
or
We all will be going back to some real drinking !!!!!
I have to go running out to get some Alka Seltzer.
No not because of the stock market or bad beer ----
I actually put a real estate deal together, now will it
stay together ???? sure hope so.
It is the crosstown weekend here in Chicago and we got our @#$%^
kick last weekend so it is pay back time.
Cheers, DuffBeer

Duff, I was watching Bloomberg and saw the "D" word running in red across the bottom of the screen, June was the worst since the Depression. Not to mention seeing the "GD" phrase twice in one day in the WSJ, day before yesterday, "Great Depression" used twice in two different articles. The tone of commentary is getting a little pessimistic here, maybe that drove the market down.
One gentleman expressed the opinion that the commodities and oil boom may be driven by the Chinese pulling in materials before the 2 month Olympic moratorium on pollution (and refining and manufacturing) around Beijing.
I panned DRYS when it came up as QOTW, since then it has had a favorable article in Barron's, and I have been thinking I may have been wrong, also the article by Harry Domash has me thinking, "Magic Niner" was the authority but that was SLO1.

DuffBeer,
Mrs. Duffbeer gave you exactly what you 'deserve'. You got your just desserts.
Check your pockets and your wallet; I think you you may have been "Fleeced" during your slumbers. Also, Alka Seltzer is 'retro' and is almost an obsolete relic ( like you in Mrs. Duffbeer's mind ? )
What has happened is somewhat 'political'. It has to do with Congress' lack of action in the face of problems that have been "BREWING" for some time now. Time was a'wasting and there was an incredible lack of foresight and a total failure of imagination.
There is a tremendous lack of confidence afoot and the market, being true to itself as a Coincident Indicator, reflects these feelings.
We are questioning our own abilities to solve problems.
I hope you make that SALE as that would be a sign that the bottom ( of the beer bottle ? ) has been reached and it's onward and upward from here.
Nothing is ever as good as it seems or as bad either.
Life goes on. There will always be a need for goods & services and the companies that provide them. Sooner or later, like the price of houses, a market-clearing price level will be discovered. Weak stomachs are being scared out at present.
So keep your Powder dry and your throat well wetted. Don't let the uncertainty get you down like bad beer does.
