Tiger’s a billion-dollar man now.  Sick. Sports’ First Billion-Dollar Man He gets a $3 million appearance fee for tourneys outside of the US.  I wonder how much Dubai paid him.  He makes $10 million per golf course designed.  He has 3 so far.  Nike pays him $30 million annually.  Nike Golf has sales of up [...]

I read this article yesterday: Newegg’s IPO Filing Reveals The Financials Behind A $2 Billion Electronics Retailer Newegg had $2.1 Billion in sales last year, but do you know what their profit margins were?  1.4%.  Holy crap.  I didn’t realize that companies with profit margins so low could survive. What shocked me even more was [...]

Damn, no posts last week.  I am slacking big time.  Either that or I have  less things to talk about these days. I guess we start with my positions.  Well, I ended up selling the last two contracts of my QG at $2.995 two Friday’s ago.  Between QG and UNG, I think I ended up [...]

Arkeg.  Play Arcade games with a built-in keg + tap: Imagine playing old school Track and Field, while pouring a pint of beer from the side.  Hah.  What a show.  Who da hell invented this damn thing.  MSRP: $3,999.

Michael Jordan’s Hall of Fame Speech

September 12th, 2009

Read this: Michael Jordan’s night to remember turns petty Then, watch this: I didn’t think that his speech was self-serving at all. It was pretty funny.

At the beach for the rest of the week. Corolla, NC. Outer Banks. It’s been raining for the past few days. Supposed to be sunny tomorrow though. So, Natural Gas made a very nice little run over the past two days. My UNG went from 9.14 and closed at 11.24 today. I had 1000 shares [...]

iTWS for the iPhone

September 8th, 2009

Interactive Brokers just released an iPhone APP with real time streaming quotes and trading: iTWS for the iPhone It’s Free. It’s definitely not the best real-time streaming quotes app, but it DOES have real-time quotes for futures, futures options, forex, etc.  You can’t get this shit on TD Ameritrade‘s iStockManager or e*Trade’s Mobile Pro, which [...]

Look at this hand: Pretty sick. I was thinking that he might have flopped the straight based on his previous hands and his betting style, which is why I didn’t raise him on the turn. His VPIP was 45 at the time of the hand, with about 40 hands played. Definitely loose passive though, so [...]

Friday.

September 4th, 2009

Bought another QG contract at 2.675.  Three contracts total now at an average of 2.98.  The October contracts expire on September 25th.  I feel like I’m gonna get squeezed out of these and then I’ll have to rollover to the November contracts and pay a premium.  That’s what I had to do last month.  I [...]

September 2nd, 2009

The McClellan Oscillator closed at -202 yesterday, and the TRIN closed at 3.11, both oversold territories.  At the very least, I expect a one day bounce, maybe two days.  We did break and close below the daily 8 EMA on the Dow yesterday, so I think the next stop is the 20 SMA on the [...]
