    Engage the stupids and profit off them. Hey I’ll admit I got burned some today, but then again I said I wasn’t greedy, so I sold off a lot of my shorts/puts yesterday.

    My thought is to wait till this 1-2 week upswing has played out then load back up for the ride down. Each time being careful not to be too greedy.

    Now there’s a sensible bear. One whose paws have been burned in the past (I can sympathize, FWIW.)

    As a short idea (or maybe another paw-scorching idea,) I think the much beloved “big cap industrials” will soon see an earnings squeeze, thanks to the actions of the Fed in providing a nice tailwind to the current inferno in PPI prices. That’s probably an idea for next quarter’s earnings, though.

    Some other things I have thought about while out and about today.

    Play nicely with others. If someone needs to pull out ahead of me, well I let them. If someone looks at me, I smile and say “hi”. If I notice someone needs something I offer to help in whatever way I am able.

    Be generous with your time, love, money, belongings. What you put out there very definitely returns.

    Shop small and local. I bought produce today from a sweet, little produce shop. I shop at the farmer’s markets.

    Everything above takes time, I know. But when you slow down and start to live from a place of joy, you find you have all the time in the world.

    One other thing, well for now at least. And yes I know that I am talking to myself.

    Is anyone here watching “Jericho” on tv? It is a fascinating and intense tale of the corporate take over of America. I think many people are watching thinking that the show portrays what could happen here, I think there are few watching who understand the show is portraying much of what has already happened here.

    It’s really sad when the responsible people in this country are punished. The government simply doesn’t want us to save. Spend, spend, spend. Makes me sick to see the direction this once great country is headed. Someone tell me, how can one single person in government (Bernanke) have so much power to do essentially anything he wants? I try to act responsibly, save as much as I can, yet all my money is being eaten away by raging inflation which the government denies. Add to that the dollar going in the toilet, and what do you have? Stock market rally! Shameful.
