geneology

rob's post: I had the genealogy bug really bad a few years back. I had to severely curtail it, because it can very easily eat up enormous amounts of time.[/QUOTE]

Rob, that's awesome! Did you do a narrative with your family tree? There must be interesting stories there ...

A Bit Off-topic, But ...

Rob, that's awesome! Did you do a narrative with your family tree? There must be interesting stories there ...

No, I never did. I started once to put it all together in a chronological and readable form, but it soon became apparent that in order to do it right it was going to require much more time than I had to put into it. There are some GREAT stories--I mean the stuff of really good movies--in there, and on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean too. I self-published a quarterly newsletter years ago for people who were also interested in my paternal family line. That lasted a few years, and I had to let it go, as I no longer had time to do the research and writing necessary to make it a good read, but some of my work has been quoted as source material in other genealogical books and in periodicals such as the Appalachian Quarterly, which focuses on the genealogy of families in western VA and NC, eastern TN and KY, and WV.

I'll tell you one little known fact of history: most people perceive the bloodiest Indian wars to have taken place in the plains and points west, but in terms of numbers of casualties, there was far more Indian warfare in the Appalachian Mountain range and east. If you ever read some of the first-hand, eyewitness accounts of people who actually lived it, as opposed to getting the Hollywood version, those accounts are pretty horrifying.

Hey Rob...I just had a thought Dude! My family comes from Kentucky and Virginia...Dude...we could be cousins! Maybe I could come to the next family reunion! What do you say "Cuz"???

[Rob]

Chow Down

Maybe I could come to the next family reunion! What do you say "Cuz"???

The odds are not faborable that we are cousins, though it is certainly possible. (Of course if you go back to Noah, we're ALL cousins! ) But if you want to bring some ham biscuits and sweet 'tater pie, come on. heh heh

I mentioned this before...but Rob wasn't here yet...My Dad, Uncle and Grandfather were Kentucky Colonels...Actually, my Dad still is. My Grandfather was born in Lily, KY. My Grandmother was born in Louisville but she grew up in Cincy. My Grandmother was in the first class that accepted women at William and Mary College in Williamsburg, VA...Maybe she got in because her name was Mary too???

HEY! Another Cousin. You should come to the family reunion!

Although RADA is a great long pick, I think I'll go with a pick that has a better chance of a large short term price movement.

Rob, I want to go ahead and sell RADA and go short on AAI.


Oil prices are up and AAI has made some nice gains this year, but now this little airline stock is crashing to the ground. I fully expect AAI to continue it's nosedive until it plows into the 200 day MA at full throttle. It's going to be a nasty crash for the longs...but all hope is not lost, because the smart investors who chose to take a short position will earn huge profits...maybe even enough to buy a first class ticket to paradise.

[spikefader]

..short on AAI.

Actually a very good short technically. Broadening top formation forming, and if it breaks 15.30 support with some force and take out the vol gap up day at 14.19 it could very quickly and very easily fall to 11.00. Good luck dude.
