What is up with that?  Accumulated all day long.  Maybe portends something not in the public domain............ YET, watch your back......

Gee,  did you get up on the wrong side of the bed or what?  All he is saying (I think) is that you should "work to live not, live to work..........

I was kinda staring at the BDI and it finally jumped out at me.  I don't know what I think about it exactly.....

Looking pretty skinny..........

Ha! Ha!   I guess we pretend there's lots of jobs and they pretend to pay us?

Maybe they reverse split, maybe not.  The Profunds guy told me, if it hits zero, they close the fund and there is no equity for owners of shares...................................
