Skiracer's stock slopes

Ski,
Here's our coon cat Kahkira. Name is a combination from a movie and a video game. We've had him 5 years. Very laid back, but you don't want to make him mad. He could rip your face off if he wanted.

Is that a pure-bred Maine Coon? My sister-in-law raises them in Canada and just came to a cat show in Cleveland where "Ricky" (14 months) came in 4th in all breed (neutered - I forget the category). Ricky is sweet, docile, and loves the spotlight and the judges. He beat out an awful lot of persians! river

All of out cats have always been in/out cats. My wife likes to let them go out if they want to and to stay in when they want to. We looked into a couple of Maine Coon breeders who wanted to know if we intended to let the cat go out. We said yes and they refused to sell us a cat because they felt that when they were let out the would get stolen most of the time. They only wanted their cats to stay in the house. We always had a litter box but I don't like them at all and I don't do litter boxes so my wife always had to clean it when it got used.

River,
I don't think he's pure bred but he looks identical to those pictured in many cat books. Maybe he's just a giant cat. Almost twice the size of his mother and a sibling or 2. He goes outside when he wants but never goes far from the house. His behavior is just like other coon cats I've seen and differs from other house cats we've had in the past.

Owned it for like three weeks.
At resistance, bought relatively heavily intraday when it dropped under resistance, sold off too much a few months ago.

My comment was in light of the fact that I already own it.

I am not saying it is about to run, only that it does not look vulnerable at this point.

TO A CAT
by: Hartley Coleridge (1796-1849)
ELLY, methinks, 'twixt thee and me There is a kind of sympathy; And could we interchange our nature, -- If I were cat, thou human creature, -- I should, like thee, be no great mouser, And thou, like me, no great composer; For, like thy plaintive mews, my muse With villainous whine doth fate abuse, Because it hath not made me sleek As golden down on Cupid's cheek; And yet thou canst upon the rug lie, Stretch'd out like snail, or curl'd up snugly, As if thou wert not lean or ugly; And I, who in poetic flights Sometimes complain of sleepless nights, Regardless of the sun in heaven, Am apt to doze till past eleven, -- The world would just the same go round If I were hang'd and thou wert drown'd; There is one difference, 'tis true, -- Thou dost not know it, and I do.

Doug,
No wonder Coleridge only lived to 53 . Somebody probably bumped him off after reading that.

Ski,

Your information, ideas, predictions, plans, participation, and attitude are phenominal! Your ability to follow guidelines to keep posts within forum parameters is absolutely terrible! I think that Karel probably says, "I wish Ski would have listened to peanuts" everytime he has to edit your posts...

It's very easy to scale down the size of your images in imageshack if you would just do what I said... just put a check in the box, and make sure it says, "640 x 480 (for message boards)" then put a check in the box that says "remove size/resolution bar from thumbnail"

Look:

Keep up the OUTSTANDING work!

Sorry, Ski, I don't know how to be more clear without coming across as pushy. I hope you don't think I'm being a jerk. I think I know your personality pretty well enough to know that you'll just do what you want to do anyway And that's OK with me, but I like Karel. He's a good guy...

I would really like to go to Stratton, VT. I will certainly meet you when you have the time. After today, I think I will be having much more time to spend doing the things in life that I love...

Peanuts,
I use Snagit to capture my images for uploading to here through ImageShack. Before I get to ImageShack I resize the image at Snagit after I'm done annotating my chart or whatever it is that I am uploading. Anyway I usually resize to what fits within the parametes of the screen because I do like a larger chart and it is easier to read what it annotated. I thought I had it down right but I see that Karel had to thumbnail a few more of my charts. I'll scale them down to fit for sure and will try what you have suggested.
We must ski Stratton some weekend after New Years. The holidays and everything will be over and the snow and conditions are the best after the New Years. Anyone else from the east coast, or any coast for that matter, that skis and wants in on this ski weekend

Karel,
Sorry about this and I'll scale them down farther for you. Not trying to give you a hard time but just trying to make them as large as allowable for easier reading and interpretation.

There weren't any trades made to these ports today so the sheet hasn't changed from yesterday. Here's todays sheet:

I've always wanted to ski, but I'd probably break my leg if I tried.

I hope you don't mind Ski, but I'm thinking of stealing one of your picks.

MED - The chart on this one is screaming, "BUY BUY BUY!!!"

Edit: But... I just noticed that earnings are on the 14th. The Vulcan trading handbook says that I may not buy a stock right before earnings. I will look to buy after earnings.
