I much prefer the Timbo visual from a couple weeks ago, "I can fly"... "with a broomstick up her..."

That one was just so frikken New England. I thought it. He said it. Just picture me and Timbo in a house yelling "the hawppah" at each other.
I never thought of that as a showtune... it is a childhood memory. And of course it was Mary Poppins.

No, name the movie where they said "showtunes define the human condition."

Hilarious flick

Capital gains taxes going up are gonna cause many to take profits while the rate is lower. And $16T in debt is not good, and many people are starting to figure this out.
Yup, T I got stopped out at $680, and waiting for the dust to settle. I just wish I had dumped my AMZN.

Me too on the AMZN... I wish I would have put a stop in on AAPL though. It's been all over the map today. The institutionals are trying to figure it out it seems... Still have nice gains, but coulda been better. Short term calls are OK too.. if it goes, it goes, so like you I'll wait till the dust settles and see what happens.

Not everyone wants/needs all that time and some people want the money to meet financial obligations. This ain't a country club.

As quoted from my previous handler: "Shut up and fly."

PS - I make 200% more and have 200% more time off than I did three years ago. Careful how entitled you sound with these comparisons. We're trying to raise the bar aren't we?
You are not alone.
And that is exactly why we don't have another 1000 captains flying right now.

And you're wrong. This is a country club. But pilots aren't allowed to be members. We work in the caddy shack.

(will a picture of Lacey Underall get me banned?)

That is why you need to learn to trade options. I made money on both AAPL and AMZN earnings plays.

There is more than one way to skin a cat.



I've been reduced to posting cat cartoons. How sad is that?
