Well it LOOKS like a Bear, but I am a Perpetual Optimist,

so I shift my strategy and tactics ( which can save you if

judgement fails ) and all positions are cut to one share

( so we have something to watch in the account ).

All the Stocks and ETFs we want positions in trade options.

So we buy a few call options and wait. Then maybe buy more.

Eventually our selections will reach their low prices, whether

Bull Market Correction, Bear Market, or Bottom of a new

Trading Range. We are positioning for the Intermediate Term,

and the Trend is Down, and the Trend is your Friend.

So we are very busy researching as many Opportunities

as possible. A new interesting candidate : GoPro ( GPRO )

which I like better than Under Armor ( UA , UAA )

( both are on the short list ). UVIX is our Hedge.

"He who sells and runs away lives to buy another day".

Be Careful Out There !

Cheers !

It is not my purpose here to be an alarmist but, "the cat is out of the bag" now, the overall situation is deteriorating

very rapidly, and I have a bad feeling that it is going to get very ugly very fast ( as if it wasn't already ugly enough ).

Now the main issue is survival. When I started this, I thought it would be nice if I could help some folks prosper, and

maybe even help some escape a miserable fate. The main focus of my work is protection against the worst possible

case scenario, which involves hedging against event risk. The latest is that there are only ten weeks of food left,

and thirty million people are going to die, mostly in the Horn of Africa. Unfortunately this is only the "tip of

the iceberg". I have thought about what the best course of action is : steel yourself against accelerating

negativity - expect it - prepare for the worst case - many things will be "unavailable at any price",

shortages will abound, and will worsen, and prices will be higher than you ever thought was

possible. I hate being the bearer of bad news, but there it is - and that is not even the

whole of it...

And the Stock Market is TOAST.

Create/Seek the Good Vibes !

I Remain, Yours Truly

IF the Bear is OVER...

just posted this on NamePROs.com :

Bargain Basement Alert :

Market Cap of Lottery dot Com now BELOW $20 Million

or less than what I believe their domain Sports dot Com is worth.

This is an Open Letter to those in Our Community who have Seven-Figure

Properties - Domain Names worth at least Seven Figures or more ( $ 1,000,000.00 UP ).

In my Not-So-Humble-Opinion Lottery.com ( ticker symbol LTRY ) can start trading like

a Domain-Name ETF with just the two domains they already own -

lottery dot com AND sports dot com

We should trade them a Portfolio of Domains for a Class of Convertible Preferred Stock -

just sayin'...
I am going to propose that they merge with ME and re-org as The Domain Investment Bank dot Com

Well, I admit I have no idea what is going to happen, but I sure wish Amgen AMGN would get a bid here...

and THAT may lead to a few billion $$$...

Well, nobody wants Amgen.

Maybe Lloyds can survive the banking crisis.

But the market looks very weak and is probably finally ready to puke.

So have a nice day anyway.

Some people are jealous of our USA $$$ Financial System -

and they want one of their own.

Then we will crash our system and have a depression,

and we will do just fine. Just Watch.

USA created this World you live in and Take for Granted.

USA protected everybody so everybody could trade freely, honestly, and fairly.

But have it your way.

Too many Deflationary Straws-In-The-Wind -

Do not know if it is only going to be just a whiff of BIG "D"

or maybe if we are in for the Real Thing -

so we are abandoning all longs and are short via SPXS

cash is O.K. too...
