Not sure what you are talking about, but I am sure Nickie Satan can fill them with 5 star recruits...

Edit: just read it. They are just padding that NFL resume

Anger is not a strategy.

Carl,

Don't worry, he won't be a line guy for long. Look at how long it was before Kingsley went back to the trough.

Slowplay's probably working on a new gig at National. They all do it.

Still, it's not a job that I want. I just wish there was some way to have term limits.

I'm not even sure why we pay pilots for most of these positions. It would be cheaper to hire real professionals.

While I agree with most organizations "it would be cheaper to hire real professionals" ALPA pays their employees very, very well.

I said short it. Look at chart. There's more risk to the upside than to the downside. It's nothing personal. You don't make money by buying and holding. You make money by trading.

I may be a month or two early. Nobody can time it. In the long run, I will be right.

If you have a big profit, take some of it off of the table. Play with the house's money.

Remember, it's not a profit until you close the trade.

Schedules-- All As and some B out via backdoor. Click on the Feb bid awards and replace FEB/feb with MAR/mar in the URL.

Hrmm... it was a narrow window. Now the X's still go to the authentication page. NM.

They are probably still proofreading some of them, the good news is, if they are this far along now, they may have them posted by 5-9pm tonight, which, if they do, will be a new record!

Nice!

Maybe that's the companies little Valentine's Day gift to us?

True dat. I just wish someone could pump up the volatility a little to make better odds.

Speaking of Valentine's Day, I hope you didn't tell your signifcant other that you are getting a profit sharing check that day!

I try to keep the gift genuine, from the heart, and something home made, like this.

(I know this was a Christmas gift video, but it'll work for Valentine's Day too!)

Carl, I am short volatility with SVXY. Got a tight stop in, do you mess with VXX or UVXY?
