Having dinner with your "friend" tonight?

I was chopping wood then I went to the hardware store for some tools and supplies. I've got a nice fire now and should enjoy the movie, Narnia, that she's bringing over.

I wonder if I'll find out how it ends...

Peanuts, from RealMoney on thestreet.com yesterday: columnist conversation

Problems at AMEX
2/5/2007 3:35 PM EST

The AMEX is experiencing major technical issues. Trading is unavailable.

I have absolutely no idea what will happen today. Riverbabe

I'm surprised that the AP hasn't run an article, yet. This seems like it could be news worthy. Does the AMEX system have holes? An article like that needs to be well timed, I guess... make sure everyone has their ducks in order before making a big stink over trading security.

Alot of times I look back and ask myself, "what just happened?"

[riverbabe]

I did not know that the AMEX had a major breakdown today, and I can't seem to find any news on it either. Do you have an article or link, babe? I saw some posts in other places that mentioned other people having issues with AMEX today...

What do you think is going to happen tomorrow? High volatility?

Jus' so ya'll know, the AMEX had a major breakdown today, so I kept waiting in vain for a good entry into ALY. Still not up at close of market. Any other POTWs in the same predicament? Let the games begin tomorrow (I hope).

Week 6, Day 1

Week 6 - Jungle Safari

This is the challenge for the week: The players are all dropped into the middle of the jungle by the ruler, Mr Market. He has commanded that we all bring back to him the finest treasures which we will find. He is HUGE, and we must all obey. Meats and cheeses are standard gifts and what is brought back from the jungle should be better than these staples. The journey will be exciting and filled with danger at every bend. Do not disappoint Mr. Market.

Day 1 - anyone got a map?

A few players began their hunt for treasure on the wrong foot, it seems. Gatorman is a little hung over from this weekend, but he still has a great idea for the Huge one. Let's see if he gets there. Rob has stepped into some googy mud and is making no progress. Despite the warnings from the others, Lyehopper decided to try for a tough, but extremely lucrative treasure. His journey will not go smoothly.

Jumping off to an enormous lead, skiracer grabs the infamous FORG and bolts to where he thinks Mr. Market is. He holds a mighty treasure, but greed may affect his journey more than he thinks... Jiesen began yelling from the start, "THE CURE, THE CURE, I'VE GOT THE CURE" What ailment he is able to cure, we don't know, yet. But one thing is for sure- that little mouse can r.u.n. Keep an eye out for snakes. Karel is trying to carry quite a large load back to Mr. Market. He's used to it, by now, but muscles eventually wear down. We'll see how strong Karel is by the fifth day.

let-it-ride is playing cards with the CASH monkeys. These guys have neither a plan or a treasure, but let-it-ride does, and he's just sitting quietly, waiting for his chance to show off to Mr. Market. Websman and peanuts are tied for now, but the Vulcan may have something up his sleeve...

(oh, sorry you're red, StkyTreat... you're supposed to be green, dude)
