This is what I'd like to tell you
Tonight I'd like to tell you why we are into our fourth day of rally. We would also like to tell you why gold and silver are down. We would also like to tell you why the rumor of the Fed helping European banks has helped pump up the market. We would also like to tell you why a disappointing initial jobless claims number combined with a poor industrial production report made the market move up. We would also like to tell you all about what is going on at home and with football and with the pending wedding, but we are not.
This is just a quick note to tell you I am alive and well. I have had a couple of note from folk asking where I went. I even had one person ask to get back on my blog. Ok I have only not blogged for two nights. I even had one of my closet friends and readers say, "...was wondering how long it would be before I backed off the posting." OUCH
Since October of 2009 we have made 500+ posts. According to my math, that is one post every 1.3956983 days. So cut me some slack boys and girls. As you might recall we have the pending wedding issues, Man Child duties (Until yesterday around noon) and that thing called a job. To make things even better, we have had our annual strategic planning meeting with the execs here in California and from Zurich Switzerland, Bristol England, Sydney Australia, and Tokyo Japan.
That means we are meeting from about 8:30 am till 5 PM then entertaining until the evening hours. Don't get me wrong, these are probably the best meetings that we have ever had. Now we have a few customers (we call them members as we are a membership organization) who are readers so I can't give you any details or I'd have to hunt you down and kill you, BUT (Behold the Underlying Truth), it sucks to be our competitor. We are doing some of the coolest things this industry has yet to see. We have discovered some really cool ways of developing existing and new markets for our members.
It has made for an exciting and exhausting week. Thank you to my lovely wife who is home and allowing me the ability to stay focused on the meetings at hand. Thank you for the greatest admin on the face of this blue earth, Ellen. Thank you for the gang at Hanna's where I can take people from all over the globe and know they are going to be treated like the kings and queens they are.
Unfortunately, it has made it difficult to get a post out to you of any relevance. I have gleaned about 83 e-mails in the last three days I am dying to share with you. I have also (Tuesday night) read all 122 pages of the American Jobs Act. We will tell you more tomorrow night or Saturday. And we will let you know how we did on our puzzle results this week. (It looks like we got most of the data points correct, but Mr. Market got moved by some unexpected gesturing in Europe.
It is 10:008 and I am beat so until we meet again (back off my butt), stay nimble, stay focused on your core equities, be patient, and buy into value every chance you get.
Salve Lucrum
