Now, just the fact that Strippers must obtain a business license in Nevada is one thing…but I cracked myself up as I had to “describe in detail the nature of my business including product sold, labor performed, and/or services rendered.”
I FINALLY got my car back today. The convertible top is fixed and I discovered that the Volvo C70 has an ipod connection….who knew? With Sirius Satellite radio it’s already a jukebox on wheels!
I must give thanks to Cartoon Carl. Cartoon Carl and I have had REALLY bad timing the last 2 months. Everytime I’ve been free, he’s got a new girl on his lap….everytime he comes in to see me (ahem…without a scheduled appt cough cough) I’m sitting with someone else! Anyway, Cartoon Carl was in Hawaii and brought me back Kona Coffee, Macadamia Nuts, Chocolate Covered MacNuts, MacNut Shortbread dipped in Chocolate…..it was delightful! Oh, if you’re wondering why I call him Cartoon Carl…he does voice-overs for animated films. He’s working on the new Disney Film now.
In the trading world, I didn’t sell (or get stopped out) of anything on the pullback. I’m glad I hedged with those puts on the QQQQ and SPY when I saw a cluster on the Investools Market Forcasting tool. That thing is ALWAYS right! I’ve backtested it all year and when it clusters, I listen! I see a lot of entry points, but I don’t have enough money to buy them all!
I made one trade today on Hanson Soda HANS. I don’t drink soda, but the stock looks pretty darn good! It is sitting right at support, I did a Nov Bull Call spread. I bought the Nov 60 Call and sold the Nov 65 call. It cost me $285, and the stock only has to move 40 cents by Nov 16th to make a profit of $215. That is a 75% return in 4.5 weeks. Yahoo looks like a great entry point too. Perfect clean bounce off the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level.
I may have missed the first tech rally in the late 90′s (ok Doug, first of my generation) but I’m all in this one!
