Hey Al, Looks like we found a little sinkhole in Mudville this morning 🙂 (Dow down 100 points as I write this)

Yes it certainly is Mr. Rankin.

Let’s see just where we close.

Thanks for bringing this up by the way. Good to have you with us!

Great to be here, thank ‘yous guys’ !!!

From Mudville to Wrigleyville; I’m out here where tonight the Yankees will descend upon the friendly confines and remind the Cubs what a “bear market” looks like in major league baseball. Part of my ritual now is to attend the games and bet against them. It’s been my hedge against PMs since opening day– And that “strategy” seems to be working right now 🙂

Incidentally, I love that punchline Chris Temple uses when he asks: “When will The Fed raise interest rates? When the Cubs win the World Series.” … That’s hilarious!

Oh geez, Dow now down 150… I better get back to buying on the dips. (??)

You say can break free from the PPT! Is that possible and if is is how can it break free? Do they want it to break free? iFS ANDS AND BUTS yet if this market is manipulated how can natural moves be possible?

Speaking of The Fed “possibly” raising interest rates…

I just heard that NY Fed Pres. William Dudley will be on Fox Business at 3:00 CT, 1:00 PT in an exclusive interview.
