1. Float trip.

    1. Jon M Fratsman

      ^ You are obviously new here, as it’s been long established that How I Met Your Mother, while maybe not the frattiest of shows, is clearly funny and acceptable to watch.

      I liked Barney, that’s it. Then I found out Neil Patrick Harris was gay. Bad show with ugly actresses.

      Come on dude, get with it. NPH, NF. Barney Stinson, FaF. Plus if you wouldn’t plant your American flag in Cobie Smulders anyday, you might be a homosexual.

      TheCommodore probably goes to Vanderbilt. If you still don’t understand his name then you’re not worth anyone’s time.

    5. TheCommodore

      ^Again, no. I said it’s a nickname. Not a reference to anything. I don’t go to Vandy.

      Won’t be the best place to be on September 8th. I’ll be celebrating my first SEC victory.

    #25… probably not a fantastic idea… sell in May and go away, there’s gonna be a lull for about 6-8 weeks… probably a better idea to nab some capital, spend it at the beach, and go back to life in July, if you’re gonna lose money it might as well be on whiskey and waverunners

    1. superwayne

      ^ This guy seems to be on to something. I however have three different proposals. First, there won’t be a lull if you watch the correct stocks, automotive, energy, and technology will do very well. It’s a good thing to stay away from oil right now. Therefore, I suggest that you keep stock in those, yet continue to go the lake and drink whiskey and fuck bitches (of only the highest quality) on your jetski. My other two points are not really worth sharing, so I won’t post those right now unless someone requests them.

      12 years ago at 8:49 pm
    2. Jon M Fratsman

      ^ Holy shit, a serious superwayne comment. This is pretty much unheard of, so I’d like to go ahead and put in an order for those second two points.

      ^^^ We take all of July off… worst time of the trading year next to the end of December and beginning of January.

      PS: Equities are for pussies.

      I’m jumpin out for a while, and you’re right, stay far away from oil for at least another couple months, the drop in prices isnt increased demand, its a political move whos bottom is going to drop out, I disagree about the recommendations though. Automotive shouldnt peak until early fall, energy will be rocked by the election in November unless you want a heart attack, and I’m staying far away from tech until the end of the year. Metal commodities are the only ones with a strong upside this quarter. Platinum and Palladium are about to be a huge deal, and Natural gas is gonna explode at the end of the year. But I’m gonna get pussy on a jet ski, drink good scotch, and maybe put some money in my properties instead of trusting the market for the next couple of months, and even if I’m wrong, I got a jet ski out of it.

      *supply, my bad, and I second FratEMT’s motion. It would be much more useful.

      Stocks? What are you guys, 40? Get out and have fun, quit messing with all this serious bullshit #yolo

      Playing stocks when you know what you’re doing is fun and almost a hobby, and if you’re good at it you dont have to have a job like a fuckin geed. I can essentially live of my dividends while you keep asking mommy for money, and it’s a whole hell of a lot more than you make at a minimum wage job if you know what you’re doing. I usually get a 20% gain a year on a portfolio thats hovering around 50k right now, you do the math. It’s a nice padding to stay out and stay raging, and knowing good financial sense before you’re out of college is a lot more valuable than sitting around smoking and playing video games. So yeah, I’m pretty happy with spending some free time trading.

    The Delta Sigma Phi’s at UNT shit on every other excuse of a fraternity there is, plain and simple.
