That is brilliant. Indeed, although Germans continue to be somewhat frightening. I take it you're not gifting Mein Kampf this holiday season? Believe it or not, the book is available on iTunes. )

Just saw the bowl match-ups. Geez, Northern Illinois, are you kidding me? I will enjoy watching Oregon score 60 points against KSU. Crappy bowls overall. ready for next season.

I've been working on my EPS estimate, suggesting that Apple is sandbagging GM by at LEAST 3%. Currently, I'm at 39.7%. Further, with new iPhones and iPads launching in China this quarter, I think Wall Street KNOWS Apple is going to beat by a solid margin.
I also don't think Wall Street is going to wait for the politicians to get their act together. Do people think Wall Street is going to let politicians determine their wealth creation from the market? The cliff isn't a cliff and they know it. If the politicos strike a deal, great, but the smart money likely doesn't fear the absence of one.
When we get earnings in Jan, even a P/E of 15 gets us within striking distance of $700. I'm anticipating a run into earnings, with or without Congress.

Agree on the fiscal "bluff" And for Apple, the iPhone drives the profits and my estimates for iPhone sales keep rising....

What's everyone's opinion on the new weekly options being offered 5 weeks ahead? I presume it will increase the amount of contracts each week, which in turn will reinforce Friday Max Pain pinning. Anyone have an alternative view? I'm a few weekend messages behind, after a variety of activities. But looking at the OI on Friday for next Friday's options, it doesn't seem like it's a big deal. The OI was mostly 2k or less I think. Nothing special, compared to what we see come Thursday or Friday. Basically it looks like a high enough volume to warrant any effort on pinning isn't happening until the middle of the week. If true and consistent, that's a great thing to know, as it could put odds on movement in the first half of the week with less movement or a little pullback at the 2nd half of the week. I wouldn't bet my paycheck on it. But if it does prove to hold a bit, it might be worth placing a little money on if the payout is decent, whether that's spreads, straddles, condors, covered calls, or anything else that could profit on any repeatability. For now, for me, it's just something to watch and consider. But even if it does prove to be consistent, then the question is when will that pattern break.

Easily got my hands on a surface as there were many available on the tables. Not a nerd so I was totally lost as how the suckers function. I gave up before i asked . But but but the TV ads are trying to portray it as being so intuitive, as a big step forward from many other techno gizmos. What gives?

My trailing EPS is $46+ in Jan. (thanks to Mark for catching this)
