Stock Market Up

I told you so. Today, the market is at 9325 and going up steadily. If you didn't buy at least 100,000 shares when I first advised you three weeks ago, it is a little late now. Sure, the market will continue to go up, but only a little at a time. The time was ripe when the market hit 8500. If you don't have a broker, go outside and look for the hemlines on ladies like the one on the left. That is the only sure indicator of where the market is headed. I told you so.

What bad economy???

I get out quite a bit. I see places - I hear stories - I read stories - I meet people. Every single day. From all accounts, the economy isn't doing well but I don't believe that at all and neither should you. Someone is trying to fool us. I see stores packed with customers. There are long lines everywhere. I see customers buying big ticket items. I see lots of people at banks - depositing big chunks of money. Every single day. I see that concerts with very expensive tickets get sold out. I see sporting events being filled to capacity. I see restaurants packed with people having a good time. Where is the bad economy the media is talking about???? NOT HERE, that's for sure.

Listen up

I have been advising my eight readers to buy stocks - 100,000 shares to start - as long as they are safe, conservative companies they're buying into. I also said the market has gone as low as it's going to go - 8500 - give or take. Today, the market went up by almost 900 points - 10%. Now, we continue to hear dire predictions about the housing sector. The housing sector will hit bottom in about three months. Some say it won't hit bottom for another year or more. I say no, no, no - three months max. Why does the media enjoy scaring people? Because FEAR sells. The lady at left proves the economy is about to right itself. Hemlines are a better indicator of the state of the economy than any ECONOMIST. Remember that.

Cheating

A book on Donald Trump is coming out soon or is already out. What do I know? Anyway, the book says something to the effect that Trump is not worth what he says he is - 1.5 billion (or thereabouts). According to reliable sources, Trump is worth closer to 100 million. He is still well off, but not a billionaire. Like the New York banks that went bust, we all thought they had so much liquidity and actually they were living from paycheck to paycheck. That's Donald Trump for you - somewhat of a farce. By the way, that's not Trump on the left - she's a movie star from I forget what era.

Paganini

Nicolo Paganini is probably the most famous violinist who ever lived. That's not him to the left, that's someone else. It doesn't matter. He would have liked her. Paganini is - to violinists - what Marco Polo is to explorers - what Einstein is to scientists - what Roosevelt is to politicians - what Frank Sinatra is to singers. Paganini was like a trapeze artist on the violin - working without a net. He was born on this day in 1782.

Hans Rosenfeld

No, that's not Hans Rosenfeld on the left - that's a movie star from another era. Anyway, as I was saying, Mr Rosenfeld had one of his ideas stolen by Hollywood bigshots - the idea for the movie ROBOTS. Remember that movie??? It wasn't just the idea itself - it was the entire script and the design for the robots. Imagine you talk to someone about an ingenious new invention. Next thing you know, they manufacture it and make lots of money and you're left standing there wondering how they could do this and get away with it.

Beauty

Is there such a thing as just posting a photo without a blog? Or is a blog necessary? Writing can be redundant if you have a picture that speaks for itself, no? On the other hand, if the picture needs to be explained, well, how else to explain it than with words? I cannot make up my mind about this one - does it need any explanation? I don't think so, even though this beautiful woman can probably not be identified by anyone.
