if you are in the markets and you want a way to play a total route, take a look at QID. warning!!!: QID is twice as volatile as the QQQQ but in REVERSE. In other words, it is twice as volatile, in both directions. I still fully expect the fed to try to inflate there way [Continue]
….”don’t get high on your own supply!” Or, at least that’s what I think Michelle Pfeiffer tells Tony Montana in the cult classic…. Regarding Tobin: “I neva’ li’ tha’ cockarocha” But, in the interest of fairness, I wanted to print his story. in my blog because after reading his [Continue]
OK…a blog entry about Uruguay. (gasp!) One of the (first) interesting things that a newcomer notices when they arrive in Montevideo are the horsedrawn garbage carts doing battle with peugots, fiats, citroen’s, city buses and large trucks in downtown city traffic. My first evening in Montevideo, staying at a hotel on one of the busier [Continue]

fuBarrio stirred momentarily this morning, at first thinking that possibly it was his head still pounding from an evening of libations at the Southron’s house cheering on Copperhead’s ill-fated Chicago Bears. But, that couldn’t be. The “big game” was Sunday and this was Tuesday morning. While fuBarrio has been quick to praise [Continue]
