Should Mr. Market Hold A Convention in '06???

On slots the casinos measure what is called "coin-in," i.e., how much coin you dropped into the machine. You bring $500 and go home with $500, but if you played 6 hours day your coin-in might be $10,000. That attracts freebie offers!

Calling Dave Streckler

Alright, Dave:
Ya scared me the other day saying we ought to buy GooG and "sell higher." That chart said $316 is the bottom . . . and you said, "Buy low, sell higher this year." Okay, now's your chance! What's the plan, Stan?

I'll be looking at the Feb. and March $420 calls in the morning, but will wait a little bit to see which way the wind is going to blow. This could go to under $350 or above $400 easily. Very volitaile right now and taking any kind of position would be gambling right now.

So...Are we having a convention or not???...My wife is bugging me about our vacation plans...Got 2 days in April and 5 in October planned...I get 4 1/2 weeks a year...and I still have over 2 weeks leftover from last year...Doug

Normally I would go anywhere for something like this but right now I'm just bringing a 68 unit 4 story condimium project out of the ground with a specifically tight construction schedule an it would have to be on the east coast within a 150 mi. radius of NYC for me to even think of attending. I know that won't influence the final decision but that's it for me. The time element is another story.

Well...Ernie had suggested Atlantic City...I have not been there since '69...But that would be OK with me...Doug

My vote is still Alantic City.......... I would wear my watch but it imploded on a deep dive, I may have to go watchless.

D Steckler,
I have seen in an article where a few sloats in Nevada actually pay slightly over 100% .....I did not believe it either . I think these were high denomination slots! In other words if you can play long enough ........you HAVE to come out ahead!

[IIC]

OK...Are we gonna have this convention or not?...I've got 7 weeks vacation this year but I've already committed to 2 1/2 weeks...I have June and July available and October too...Actually, I'm going to Cape Cod in October but I have not set the date yet so if it is in Atlantic City I could work around it I think.

My preference is July except for the first week. I'd prefer Las Vegas or Atlantic City...Actually, I'd prefer a 3 day cruise to the Bahamas but it doesn't seem like many would come.

Ernie...When are you available? Even 20 or 30 would be pretty cool w/ spouses or friends and even the kids welcome IMO...So????????

If we are actually going to have one I would be happy to help w/ the arrangements...But we should hurry up and set it up...It's almost Christmas...Doug(IIC)

[mrmarket]

If you guys plan it, and it's in Atlantic City, I will come.

I'm up for Atlantic City anytime. If you build it Doug they will come. I would help to set it up anyway you need help.

[IIC]

OK...Let me see what I can come up with in July in Atlantic City...Will keep you posted...Doug
