Russian Women

So, how do you make sure someone is on the up and up when they say they are a Beautiful Russian Woman interested in you??? The ad on the right side might help. I am not a client looking for a nice Russian girl so I have never tried it. You be the judge. It seems this person had a very bright idea. If it works, it will prove to be an invaluable service for everyone out there.

Bottom

This quote is from some publication - don't ask me which one - maybe Yahoo. "I don't think anyone can say we've reached the bottom yet," said Chuck Gabriel, managing director of Capital Alpha Partners in Washington. "It's going to be a very gloomy Christmas." Kim Caughey, equity research analyst at Fort Pitt Capital Group in Pittsburgh, said that "for investors to get more confidence, we need to know details" of the new administration's plans to handle the crisis. "There's been a vacuum of leadership" she added, "and when that happens, you get fear and rumors, and then people sell." It came from about two weeks ago. These people know nothing. They panic just like everyone else. Even their guesses are half-hearted. They are too scared to stick their necks out and say something concrete. I think what I said was that the market had already hit bottom - it's time to start buying. You can have a different opinion, of course, but at least state it - don't be a marshmallow when you talk - please.

Absolutely sure

It's still not too late. I know the market was down today, but it didn't reach down to 8500, did it? Of course not. I told you so. 8500 was the low point. If you had purchased a minimum of 100,000 shares as I advised four weeks ago, you would be showing a tidy profit today, even with the market down as it was. By the way, that's not the new Treasury Secretary to the left, that's Claudia Maria from Buenos Aires, Argentina. How do I know? I make it my business to know. The same way I know the housing mess will bottom out in about two months - perhaps less. You might still be able to ride the stocks to a small profit but not nearly as healthy as you might have. Tomorrow, the market should settle down, but unless you took advantage and made some reasonable purchases today, it will make no difference. Oh, well.

Hemlines going up

After tomorrow, when the bailout plan is approved, hemlines will start going up again. They say that good economic times tend to raise hemlines on women's dresses or skirts. Who really knows? Of course, if the little plan doesn't get approved, then the hemlines will drop - probably all the way to the floor. It won't make too much difference to me either way - my eyesight is not terribly good. I would need to get really close to notice the difference.

Dating

Ladies and gentlemen, what do I know about dating? Nothing. A friend once asked me why I was so popular with the ladies. I told him it was because the word had gotten around that I always paid. He always had a hard time finding women to date so he wanted to know where I found my dates. I told him the story of Billy the Kid. A sherriff once asked Billy the Kid why he robbed banks. Billy supposedly said, "because that's where the money's at." If you want to find a nice girl to date, go wherever nice girls hang out. It's not rocket science. Use a dating service if you must. Advertise. Go online. Use Eharmony or Match or Singlesnet or whatever you want. There are so many. Your life is made up of a lot of coincidences. If you sit in a comfortable chair in your house all day long, I guarantee that the chances for any coincidence - whether a happy one or a misfortune - will be nil. You must mingle and you must blend. Make contact. Create a rolodex. Then, you must enjoy your everday life. Stop pretending. Get the chip off your shoulder. Be real. Be yourself. Be content. Be sincere. Let go of any bad experiences in your past. Nothing is perfect. Nobody is perfect. Be grateful you're not dead.
