Bears get last laugh

Published by The Fake Engineer at 8:32 pm under Stocks

This morning TWM was trading around $66 and I had picked up a small chunk of shares last Thursday at $69.86. I thought about picking up more shares before the FOMC announcement at 2:15pm but I decided not to. I figured that after the FOMC announcement, stocks would break one way or the other and [...]

My lowest grade in 11 years

Published by The Fake Engineer at 7:50 pm under Class

B minus. Never did worse than a B going all the way back to June 1996 when I got two C’s. I did, however, barely get past the B/C borderline in high school calculus which would technically a B- but only solid grades were given. You have no idea how happy I am about my [...]

Interesting week ahead

In my last post I said that the S&P 500 can make it to 1510-1520 and the Russell 2000 can make it to 790-800. I didn’t see it as being all that likely on Thursday and I saw it as the best case scenario. Here’s why. The stupid bear inside me tells me to add [...]

Published by The Fake Engineer at 10:28 am under Stocks

However, I just don’t see that scenario as being very likely since the [...]

My motherboard’s integrated crap is useless

Published by The Fake Engineer at 10:21 pm under Stupid Stuff

I have an Asus motherboard that is about 2.5 years old. As of right now, I have all three of my PCI slots filled because my motherboard’s integrated components do not perform to my standard. 1. The on-board Realtek audio is a piece of crap. I have to admit that the sound quality isn’t terrible, [...]

U Can’t Touch This

Published by The Fake Engineer at 9:59 pm under Stocks

I told you homeboy, u can’t touch this. Couldn’t break 1490. I have been suffering the last few days. I wanted to go short on Thursday so badly. I should’ve planned out transferring money to another brokerage a little better. Sold TWM on 11/23. Settlement date three business days later on 11/28. Also initiated ACH [...]
