“Ouch – hopefully the date venue was somewhere with Jameson.”
No Jameson where we went. We were at the Black Mountain Wine House on Union and Hoyt. It’s a great spot — especially for a date.
“jessi, didn’t you get a pic of him beforehand??? I never meet guys without a pic first.”
I did have pics. He looked good enough to meet in them but not the same in person. Not that it was a fake out, just the vibe was all off from the second I saw him.
“The guy works in DC as a congressional advisor “effecting change in the financial markets” and has never worked at a bank or any other financial insitution and has no business background”
I saw a chart recently that shows the number of years that President’s top advisers and cabinet officials have spent in the business world and Obama’s numbers are the lowest in many decades.
YIKES! I actually agree with DIBS on something. Went long EWJ yesterday (That’s Japan)! Reasons: Japanese economy finally expected to grow next year, Exports to China will be strong, Japan has been the worst int’l market for years, so potential for “Dead Cat Bounce” is huge.
That said, DIBS is reliably wrong on everything (but never admit it)so I think I will hedge!
“The guy works in DC as a congressional advisor “effecting change in the financial markets” and has never worked at a bank or any other financial insitution and has no business background. And he was ugly.”
Ouch – hopefully the date venue was somewhere with Jameson.
denton, it is very much underowned by international investors and, more importantly Japanese retail investors. They haven’t had this small of an exposure to equities since 2003, just before the market took off.
Additionally, retail sales and auto sales have rebounded in japan faster than here in the US and their exports to Asia are still doing well and the lion’s share of exports now…Asia is still growing, hence so will japan.
Japan has already begun to outperform the S&P over the last 30 days and should continue with the weakness of the Yen.
DCB, grow a pair of balls…you’re either long Japan or short it.
[laughing all the way to the bank at him]

Many of these people are clueless.

“Did BHB have a big turnout?”
For a blog that only represents one neighborhood, definitely yes. Probably about 20 people.
