[The Stock Girl]

Don't you get it? This is STOCKy GIRL! DUH!

You can't stop fantasizing about me can you preacher man?

[New-born baby]

No

You can't stop fantasizing about me can you preacher man?

Truthfully, your avatar is not appealing to me. I am not attracted by that kind of worldly looking woman. I was poking fun at IIC pretending to have Stock Girl over for dinner . . . or more directly, I did not think it was a good thing that one would say "my wife is gone, I am having another woman over to my house for supper." It is not right.

That's what Jimmy Swaggart and Jim Bakker said.

That's what Jimmy Swaggart and Jim Bakker said.

Jim Bakker has a youth ranch in Vernon Fl, which is about 30 miles from where I live. I still can't figure out why he moved here?

Confusion

There's still a little confusion on locating shortable stocks. Spike gave me a link to Interactive Brokers (thanks, Spike) but I'm not sure I fully understand how to interpret the results provided there. For example, if you go to that link above and type NFLX in the search box, it seems to come up as shortable. But then if you click the link just underneath the results, the one that says "US stocks that are not shortable (Regulatory restrictions)" MFLX is also included on the list of unshortable stocks. Can someone demystify this a little? Thanks.

perhaps it'd help if you type the ticker you actually mean.

just messin' with ya rob!

[Rob]

Thanks a LOT, Jiesen. Don't know what I'd do without your help.

Anyway, I think I got it figured out now. Evidently, even if there are some regulatory restrictions on certain securities, there may be extenuating circumstances that allow the stock to be shorted anyhow.

NBB...How do you know I was pretending???...LOL...My wife called me from France this morning and I told her what I posted...She thought it was funny...sort of anyway...No harm no foul.

Anyway...people can't help looking worldly...it's just a curse that some of us were born with.

By the way Doug...Did your wife say anything about any Vulcans being in France while she was there???

Jim Bakker has a youth ranch in Vernon Fl, which is about 30 miles from where I live. I still can't figure out why he moved here?

Jimmy Swaggart telephoned Jim Bakker.

Swaggart: I have a theological question: Can a prostitute be saved?

Bakker: Yes.

Swaggart: Would you save me one for Saturday night?

[jiesen]

Rob, sell AMLN at the close for me please!

[jiesen]

or 12:59, whatever. just wanted to make sure if the post went through at 1:01 (Pacific) it didn't cause me to sell tomorrow's open. (don't have a clue what tomorrow holds, but today's gain I think I'll keep!)

Week 25 (12), Day 4

NBB parlayed his PARL short into the catbird seat.


IIC put the iic-xing on the cake with his quick turnaround on XING.


Gator-dude's BRLI barely kept him in 3rd ahead of ...


Jiesen, who's amblin' with AMLN into 4th.


Karel's VOL has experienced some heavy duty volatility this week, having come back from, at one point, 10% in the hole intraday.


Dio got his teeth into DDS, and I'm climbing slowly but surely with IMCL.


Runner rumbles in on his Harley (HDI), Spike's Blue Phoenix (BPHX) phlies in close behind, and Curly nabbd a spot on the plus side with BBD.


That about covers the plus side for today, but I have just a couple other observations. The Stock Girl's STLD short is still dynamic as it picked up a bit of ground today, and meanwhile it looks like Webs pulled a boner with FONR. Alright, kids, get your minds out of the gutter, that means he made a mistake.
