They Might Be Giants, "Don't Let Start"

"Wake up and smell the catfood in your bank account."

Indeed.



Meanwhile... RIP, iBC.

The VO traded like a bunch women today. No volume, no risk taken, and no profits to show for it. Who needs Equine? Face it... we're a bunch of girls.

Not so for my RO. The midday data broke down like this... leader was up $10,175 and the laggard was down $2291. Remember, those numbers are gross. To make that kind of money, you have to trade a few hundred thousand shares typically, so commissions eat some of that up. I was #12 of 23 traders today...

Anyway, it was a somewhat eventful week for the market as we finally busted through 12k on the Dow. Volume today was ridiculous because of all the expirations. We traded over 2 billion. Expect more of the same next week, with the Russell Rebalancing.

I can't wait to get this exam out of the way so I can focus on trading again. See you Monday.

Well, bad news for you. You most likely have some significant damage to your parahippocampal gyrus.

You're an unevolved idiot. A caveman, if you will.

I'll be too busy today for posting until the VO. So until then, here's an old Daily Show clip with Tim Russert.
