Wednesday – “Magic Eraser”

February 25th, 2009

Mr. Clean’s Magic Eraser is money. Not sure if you guys have used this thing before, but it’s pretty money for removing little marks on your walls.  I have a tenant moving out of my parents townhouse and a new tenant moving in on Friday, so I had to go over and clean the room [...]

Tuesday – “Emergency Roll”

February 24th, 2009

Always have an emergency roll of toilet paper. I slept on it and had to waddle to the kitchen this morning. I will not going into the details, but it was a little bit hurt-ing. Okay, I went long 1 contract of the YM at 7135.  Been a long time since I’ve played with the [...]

Ac

February 21st, 2009

Went to the Caesars poker room last night. Played 2/5 nl. Dropped 599. Then went to the borgata and went on a mad run for 1750. Made some incredible plays including calling 400 with pocket 9s preflop. Back at the borgata today for some more action. Need some coffee. Played til 530am last night.

Friday – “Gimme three stacks of high society”

February 20th, 2009

Heading up to AC today.  Probably some $1/$2 and $2/$5 NL like usual. The McClellan Oscillator closed at -236 yesterday, which means we’re short term oversold here.  I’m looking to get out of my QID some time soon.  I just bought 150 shares of DVY at $30.36.  Maybe I’m just in denial, but I just [...]

Thursday – “responsible homeowners”

February 19th, 2009

This mortgage crisis package is looking better and better for me every day.  I put a downpayment on my new condo in mid-2005, in the height of the housing boom.  I’ve only seen prices decrease by about 7-8% since when I bought, but it still sucks.  The good thing is that I had a profit [...]

Refinance.

February 18th, 2009

I called Countrywide last week to inquire about refinancing my loan, since mortgage rates dipped below 5%.  The guy told me that if my place appraised at $407k, which was about 7% below the amount that I paid for it back in 2007, I wouldn’t have 20% equity on my place.  In order to refinance [...]

Wednesday – “Simply Urfa”

February 18th, 2009

Went to this new Kabob/Falafel place for lunch today.  It’s a few blocks away from my place.  The place is called Urfa Tomato Kabob, with the tag line “Simply Urfa”.  I got a beef and lamb sandwich called “Istanbul Doner”.  Check it out: $5.99 for the sandwich.  Look how big this mf’er was.  I put [...]

Tuesday – “Lower All Hoods”

February 17th, 2009

Went to the ghetto to get my copy of Street Fighter IV this morning. There’s a Game Stop about 2 miles from my condo. Of course, the place was supposed to open at 10am, but I arrived around 10:25am and the door was still locked. A few minutes later, some dude showed up with a [...]

Friday.

February 13th, 2009

I’m not sure if it’s just me or what, but this market has been very untradable over the past few weeks/two months.  I guess if you look at the charts, we’ve been in a pretty tight range since the end of November. I guess I’m just trying to justify my lack of trades lately.  Maybe [...]

Thursday.

February 12th, 2009

I bought 1000 shares of UYG at $3.05 and 150 shares of QID at $53.06.  So, I’m holding: Long 350 QID near $52.75 Long 1000 UYG at $3.05 Long 500 UCO at $8.35 Pretty boring, I know.  The verdict is still not out on which direction we end up going, but I like all three [...]

Wednesday.

February 12th, 2009

Went for a golf lesson this morning at Pleasant Valley.   This dude video taped my swing and drew lines and all of that good stuff.  It helps seeing what the F I’m doing wrong.  The temperature is like 70 degrees today.  So friggin nice.  Makes me want to hack up some sod on the golf [...]
