Mo'ili'ili Quarry: food

12:13 pm (Hawaii) Earlier in the week, I guessed that an agreement on the debt ceiling would come early as Wednesday, but could be as slow to arrive as Monday (the day before deadline). But the compromise (or postponement of such) will arrive. That gives me more reason to hold this small position in ZSL. The PM selloff is coming. When it bottoms, hopefully I'll recognize it, sell ZSL and buy as much physical metal as possible. Maybe add to my DGP position, maybe re-open another position in AGQ. The risk in buying more miner stock, though, is too high for my taste, so no more XG or EXK.

Grow your food and beat inflation

10:09 am (Hawaii). Opted to stay out of AAPL for now. The intraday chart after the top (near 340) didn't look healthy. Just daytraders walking out before the selloff before the closing bell. Lot of people refuse to hold overnight. Including me.

In the meantime, food prices are projected to rise by 6%. Which means a remake of Green Acres is coming to Fox or TBS starring Charlie Sheen and a) Lindsay Lohan, b) Courtney Love, c) Lady Gaga or d) Miley Cyrus. Or all of them. I'd watch the pilot.

Aloha!

Well, here's my generic introductory post.

I'm generally a glutton for all things food and sports, but there's more to life, isn't there? There's humor. Entertainment. Money!

This is my first entry into the world of blogger.com as a blogger. Here's to exchanging our thoughts — talking story — about everything that makes us tick. Well ... mostly everything.

Cheers!

Ain't it true?

What I had to do was to find stocks that would be hoisted up because they stirred people's imagination for the future. ... I was not interested in the company's individual products, whether it was metals for rockets, solid fuel, or advanced electronic equipment. In fact, I did not want to know what they made—that information might only inhibit me. I did not care what the company's products were, any more than I was influenced by the fact that the board chairman had a beautiful wife. But I did want to know whether the company belonged to a new vigorous infant industry and whether it be haved in the market according to my requirements.

This, of course, was directly against the advice of many financial writers with conservative backgrounds who have been pounding into investors for generations that they must study company reports and balance sheets, find out all they can about a stock's background, in order to make a wise investment. I decided that was not for me. All a company report and balance sheet can tell you is the past and the present. They cannot tell the future. And it was for this I had to project my plans.
