Happy Holidays!!

I just want to thank you for being my Buddy and wish you the best of luck on your Stock Portfolio.  The way the market is lately, it can change on an hourly basis.  If you read the "About Me" on my Survivor Page, you know that I am in the Income Tax Business.  Well, my wife Cathy and I get a great deal of pleasure out of helping people get the largest (legal) refund possible, so we thought we would start a Blog to post some helpful tips and tax information. I have started it off, very slowly, but I am committed to doing better.

I would like to invite you to check out our Blog, and if you are interested, just sign up for the posts.  You could possibly get some helpful information that could save you a few dollars on your Tax Return.  It would also give you an opportunity to ask any questions that you have about your tax situation and we could address those problems or concerns.

I assure you, we are not some commercial concern, trying to make a buck.  We just love the Income Tax business and would like to help, if you have a problem.  The address for our Blog is:

Again, thanks for being my Buddy.

Thanks for being my buddy!

Appreciate the inquiry, got electricity back. Ike was an experience not to soon be forgotten. Its a reminder to appreciate electricity, water, food supply.

Looks like the market has also been a wild ride.

Caps, actually it's already up.  It's a blog rather than a column, and they also show publicly the picks I make with rationale--not picks in my regular portfolio but a second one for this purpose (which is losing!).  This is a new thing WSS just started; pretty cool that they asked me to take part.  Here's the starting point page...   http://blog.wallstreetsurvivor.com/learn-from-experts/ From here you can click on my personal page. 

Thanks!  Yeah, the homebuilders have enjoyed a nice ride over the last 24 hours.  I'm happy (and furtunate) to be aboard.  You've got a nice jump going yourself right now!

It's cooling off...finally into the 90s.  But the best part of the year is soon to come.  Makes it all worthwhile.  Looks like you did pretty well on the airlines today?  One of the few good places to be right now.  Good luck!

I have the general impression that a bull market is currently occurring.  Buying and waiting until final hour to establish a short position for the following morning is the best bet.  I expect profit-taking in a general price reduction occurring next Monday.  Disney is very strong and may go to 33.

O yea of little faith.

The commodities took me to the [promised land today.

I got lucky.

In the last hour they have changed the potential path of the storm.The current computer model puts it along the Gulf coast but that could be from Louisiana to Texas. The folks in this area are filling up their gas tanks, buying water,checking their flash lights just in case.Nice Labor Day gift.

We don't want it here but hope New Orleans doesn't get it either.

You requested the stocks I deem worthy: MGM, Txn, RCL, MOT and DIS.  They tend to have long-term slopes of the price graph in either direction making them easier to predict.
