The Dangers Of Shorting Hot Oil Stocks With Absurd SEC Rules, A Lack Of Dis
2008-05-21 22:34:00
That title is just about the worst combo there is and yet I went full steam ahead, shorting 1,000 FPP five minutes after the market open into a spike I thought to be ill-fated. Nearly right away when I was down 20 cents on my position, I knew I’d screwed up. Despite my warning everyone about the dangers of shorting these rocketships before they go red and the fact that I made the exact same mistake just two days ago, I even refused to take a $150 profit, instead wanting more, almost inevitably getting squeezed for a $600 loss. I guess it’s true what they say, you can’t t each a greedy Jew new tricks. I explained my rational for breaking the very rulesI created to protect myself the other day—not that its much of an excuse—and today was no different, except FPP was double the price and I got squeezed for double, 50 cent/share as opposed to 25, too. Fitting, right? Again, I was right about the morning pullback after the spike, it just happened $1 higher than my entry! &he...
Het is absurd
2008-05-13 17:48:00
Optisch bedrog en ander proza van Daniil CharmsGerards & Schreurs, 1988. - verdict: **Het is absurd om in dit absurd weer absurde literatuur te willen lezen. Dat blijkt dan maar mooi bij de laatste poging om me door een Daniil Charms-boek te bewegen. Eerder las ik hem reeds. Toen was het minder warm, maar was ik jonger en wist ik nog niet dat literatuur ook wel eens gek mocht doen. Nu weet ik dat wel, ben ik ouder en benader ik mijn smeltpunt. Of ik een zin lees, een alinea, een woord, een schets, een hilarisch op elkaar inslaan van 2 maffe Russen ... in dit boek of een ander, het klinkt met dat constante gezoem van die auto's, die fluffige wolkjes en cellulitisnappen allemaal wel knotsgek, van de pot gerukt en rond de meiboom gedraaid. Zou best zijn kunnen dat dit goed weze, maar zou best ook wel eens kunnen van niet.Pff, die woorden.
Democratic Campaign: An Absurd and Acrimonious Culture War
2008-05-12 01:30:00
rolling stone: . . . Seldom in American politics has the same side of a single party split into such distinct and acrimonious factions. As virtually identical as the two candidates are in their political positions, there is no longer any common cause left between Hillary lovers and Obama supporters. There is only a culture ...
Clinton Camp: It?s ?absurd? to suggest she must win North Carolina
2008-05-03 20:31:00
Ambinder: It is absurd, aides say, to think that Clinton can overcome Obama’s built-in advantages there, and it sets unfair expectations on her when the possibility of a Clinton victory is broached. It’s a fair point, but possibly irrelevant. It may well be that an upset victory is the only way to unblinker the superdelegates. ...
"Hinge"ing on the absurd

I'm looking for a type of hinge (at least I guess it's a hinge) but I'm afraid I'm not exactly up to date on my hinge technology or terminology. I hope you lot can help. I need something of a hinge that latches at a 90 degree (or so) position. I'm kind of thinking of something vaguely along t

Humour - Short & Absurd

45. Warning #2: Beware of the absurd (John Silber)
2008-04-04 17:06:00
Consider this part 2 of the last post on "Warning..." From time to time I receive messages from disgruntled anti-starchitecture readers that referenced the book "Architecture of the Absurd: How "Genius" Disfigured a Practical Art". They use it as the bible to decry any talk of fame. At first hearing about it I thought it sounded a little silly; "When was architecture ever a practical art?" was my reaction. I decided to actually read it anyway. After going through the first few chapters, I was a genuinely amused; I couldn't tell if the author was actually real or television character. The arguments sounded as though Archie Bunker decided to write a book on architecture. Then another image came to mind: That episode on the TV program 60 minutes where Morley Safer took a bunch of school children to a contemporary art museum. He pointed to an abstract Jean-Michel Basquiat's painting and asked one of the kids "can you do that?" the kid fired back a resounding "yeah!" with a confid...

As I posted early this morning, there were lots of potential shorts today, but I had to be extra-choosy due to the SEC’s reign of terror over accounts under $25k (explanation down below). Awoke early and reserves shares of my favs—placing my sell limit orders waaay high, intent on lowering them if and when any became good plays: -300 ASTI @16.99 LMT -300 GU @16.99 LMT -1000 BPAX @5.99 LMT -1000 REED @4.99 LMT -1000 QBIK @3.99 LMT Didn’t even need to reserve any COT, it was listed as easy to borrow. But my top pick was REED, and I was hoping—somewhat naively—to get a morning spike to short into…no such luck. It went down quickly, bounced, down again, blah whatever, volume for the day was 60k, spread between bid and ask was 20-40 cents, no thanks. Next! BPAX—no morning spike there either—disappointing. Had the chance to short my 1,000 shares into a quickly disappearing block at $4.39, but I hate shorting morning droppers, too high risk of reversal, so I hesitated...

The closet thinker: Teetering close to the absurd
2008-03-16 02:16:00
The closet thinker: Teetering close to the absurd Justine Picardie on shoes stranger than fiction'You want to be more simple in fashion now, and more minimal,' announced Miuccia Prada after her latest catwalk show last month. And with these words a million imitations will be launched of her slightly disconcerting version of simplicity (vast quantities of semi-transparent lace). From left: Patent and perspex, £220, by Kurt Geiger (0845 257 2571); Snakeskin and metal, £425, by Miu Miu (020 7409 0900); Leather and rubber, £85, by Topshop (0845 121 4519)But what will be harder to copy - and even harder to make sense of - are the new-season Prada patent shoes, embellished with frills and ruffles. They are, I suppose, rather more minimal than her previous collection (the ones in the shops now), which are the most extraordinarily surreal of designs: carved clumpy heels in a rainbow of yellow, purple, pink, orange and red, a bit like early 1970s Ossie Clark or Biba, but ev...
Obama calls the truth absurd
2008-03-13 00:03:00
Melania offended that at the suggestion that Donald married her because of her looks. Obama called Geraldine Ferraro's assertion that part of Obama's appeal is his race, "absurd." This is like Melania complaining when somebody says that Donald married her because of her looks. Isn't it clear that a third year senator with the gift of gab wouldn't be anywhere without 90% of the black vote or the enthusiastic support of well-intentioned, Caucasian Starbucks dwellers? Such denials of the obvious hurt Obama because people are smart enough to know what's going on. Just like pretty girls resent not being taken seriously after years of classy deserts at fine restaurants, Obama wants to both have and eat his cake. Obama and Clinton can't say how "historic" their election would be- how it would "heal" America- and then turn around and say that their race or sex doesn't matter when somebody finds a down side. Rep. King said that terrorists would rejoice over an Obama presidency bec...
Absurd PageRank allocation in Firefox
2008-03-12 13:15:00
  Update: Ironically, this doesn’t show up on the Google toolbar for Firefox. Pretty odd, ain’t it?  Looks like Google is showering a whole lot of PageRank juice on Mozilla.org. Alone in the Add-ons section of the site, over 800,000 pages have a PageRank of 8, as if the PageRank on these pages are spoofed. Here are the following pages which have a PageRank of 8 -All extension pages -All user profiles -All themes -All pages in discussions about any extensions This is not exclusive to Firefox as well; Pages about Thunderbird, Seamonkey and Sunbird also have the mysterious PageRank 8 allocation for almost all pages viewable. Even W3 is not able to match up with the amount of PageRank 8 pages one can find on the site. Wordpress isn’t any closer either. © 2008 Tevine.

Absurd Indian Thoughts & Implementations
2008-02-28 20:47:00
With nothing happening in the world to blog about as such (There is a lot happening actually, but like the gossip-stricken Indian media, I?m more concerned about a spat on a reality TV show, Shahrukh Khan appearing in an item song and Kareena Kapoor inaugurating a jewellery store), I decided to hop back in time to pluck out some of India?s most embarrassing ideas and their even more delirious implementations. Regional pride and the ?Sons of the soil? concept are numero uno in the list. In what is an absolutely baseless, senseless, hopeless, half-mental and three fourth-detrimental school of thought, Raj Thackeray and the MNS have outdone all other embarrassing Indian ideas to actually create a North-South divide that is anti-constitutional, anti-national and all the other anti?s you could pick out from your understanding. God only knows what Thackeray had in mind when he decided to undertake some ?noble work? for his ?fellow populace?. Unleashed on the roads were wild Marathis who s...

The Absurd
2008-02-20 18:13:00
In my previous blog about good art, I claimed that one of the prerequisites for good art is that it provides an escape from reality. And I would like to clarify precisely why I have come to think that way. This idea is not one I’ve invented, but rather comes from the realm of existential philosophy. I don’t consider myself an existentialist, but I do think that there is some truth to what some existentialists have said. One such idea is that of the absurd, spelled out most notably by the French author Albert Camus.Camus defined the absurd as ‘a confrontation between ‘rational’ human beings and an ‘indifferent’ universe” (Solomon 15). Camus saw that we live in a world which is quite honestly indifferent to us and our expectations of it. We unconsciously expect from the world around us what we consciously expect from the people around us. We expect justice (that good be rewarded and bad be punished) and a satisfaction in understanding. But the truth is the universe i...
The Bedard Deal: The Second Act of the Theater of the Absurd, the Role of A
2008-01-31 01:43:00
I'm at the University of Maryland-Virginia game right now, and just was able to read the Sun online, and yes, things are even getting more bizarre.Perhaps the newest story might a CYA excuse, or it might be true, but as most fans can probably gather, the Bedard deal has hit a snag.Of course, that's the understatement of the week.From the Sun: Orioles owner Peter Angelos didn't veto a proposed trade that would have sent ace pitcher Erik Bedard to the Seattle Mariners for a package headed by young outfielder Adam Jones, team president Andy MacPhail said today.Asked if Angelos was responsible for nixing a deal, MacPhail responded, "No." He wouldn't elaborate further or provide details on why the talks appear to have hit a snag.It's believed that the two sides agreed to the framework of a trade that would have sent Bedard to the Mariners for Jones, left-handed reliever George Sherrill and 19-year-old starter Chris Tillman, along with at least one other player. Jones told a reporter...
The Theater of the Absurd: More on Bedard, Does Adam Jones Have A Hip Probl
2008-01-29 22:01:00
Well, this story is becoming even more outrageous and with even more twists and turns.Ah, from Roch's blog:... I've been in meetings most of the day and have an interview at 5 p.m. - not for a new job, so don't get your hopes up. But I wanted to address the rumor (because it's what I do these days) that Adam Jones has a degenerative hip condition and that's why the Erik Bedard trade hit a snag.All I can say about the topic is that the Orioles became concerned with something related to Jones, and the fact that they wanted to bring him in for a physical before alerting Bedard's agent that a trade agreement was reached should send off signals. But we've heard nothing up to this point about his hip.Maybe this will prove true later. We'll find out soon enough. But nobody at The Sun would go on a radio show and blurt out this kind of information without being absolutely positive (and obviously reporting it in the paper first). That's dangerous territory, especially when you're p...
