“End” is an anagram of “Ned”

By Tim Knight - 16 years ago (08, Jun 2009 7:07:14 AM)

I have good news for fellow Slopers. Allow me to introduce the Cetin Hekimoglu Elimination Squad:

These highly-trained mercenaries have one purpose and one purpose only: to root out and summarily execute any postings on Slope that they see from Ned "Cetin the Cretin", who pollutes blogs all around this great land of ours.

I have empowered enough Slopers (whom I've already privately emailed) with the ability to nuke this creep's posts that the lifespan of such posts has been reduced to the length of time you would want a tongue-kiss from AJC.

Ned, your already pointless existence here has been reduced to utter meaninglessness. Go find somewhere else to pollute. You are going to find your efforts profoundly frustrated from here on.

Cramer vs. Cramer

In another sign of bullish optimism indicating a downturn is near (or here), I saw the following in my Facebook feed this morning:

I remember back in March, there were all kinds of warnings any time Cramer appeared on TV saying "this show is about education, not specific advice!" It seems that any such pretense is gone.

And………B of A? Good luck with that.

On the Brink

An excellent article from the New York Times today, which you can read here.

I’ll See You on the Beach

By Tim Knight - 16 years ago (06, Jun 2009 6:53:35 AM)

First, on this important day, we Slopers remember the brave soldiers who stormed the beaches of Normandy on D-Day. Sixty-five years have passed since that day, but the world is still benefiting from the blood spilled in the name of freedom.

Second, I've been hemming, hawing, and hedging over the past few months, but I draw the line today. I'm a blue-blooded bear again. I have a handful of scrappy lottery plays left, but I'm a weak hand and they all look vulnerable. I think our time is finally at hand for an honest-to-God meaningful move down. Not necessarily anything life-changing, but not a 3-hour dip like we've had in the past either. I offer these charts as my evidence, and beyond that have nothing to say except have a good weekend.
