Just Another Night On The Other Side Of Light

Dear TradeKing friends and family, Hope this letter finds y'all doing well. Thank y'all for the many messages asking where I have been. My life is pretty boring but I'll try to give an interesting thumbnail sketch of what has been going on here in the great Republic of Texas. I am still trading options like a maniac. Y'all who have followed my blogs for the past year know which side of the trades I am on.

My oldest son is waiting for the Army to give him his next order. They are going to station him in Alaska or deploy him to Iraq. I pray he goes to Alaska. Sarah Palin needs all the help she can get defending Fairbanks from a Russian invasion. My younger son is waiting to be inducted into the Army. My daughter is going to make me a Grampa for the second time this coming March.

Yesterday was a triple crown, run for the roses kind of day. The "rescue" travesty was signed into law, my wife came back to me, and so did my girlfriend. I'm not sure which of these three events I am less thrilled about. They left when they found the other woman existed. Both gave that as the  reason for coming back. Yeah, this logic is crystal clear to me.

My wife is a lovely woman who likes to stay at home, cleaning and cooking. "Olivia" is a day trader and minor celebrity on TV and radio. Her technical analysis skills are unerring and she is drop dead gorgeous to boot. I missed them while they were gone. I'm miserable now that they are back. Why? They have become friends. I wake up in the morning and they are both here. I go to bed at night and they are both here. My wife is cooking and cleaning around the clock. She is shoveling food into me at an alarming rate. "Olivia" insists I trade equities/options with her all day long. I will leave unspoken, the positive benefit of two women under one roof, but for Petes sake, I'm not 21 yrs old anymore.

Well, I did say my life is pretty boring. Complacency has become the norm for me. There is something missing in my life. It is the ability to write a good rage filled rant. Is it because I'm getting older and less susceptible to idealism/cynicism of any sort? I can't see anything in my lifestyle that would account for a lack of desire to write about the wrongs in our markets. I'm going to sign off now. My wife is calling me to dinner and "Olivia" is smiling at me in a knowing way. I have a head ache.     Regards to all, Will Profit

Will,

 

 Glad to see you are still kicking. I too seem to have lost the the will (pardon the pun), to write a good rant lately. Perhaps it is is complacency and knowing that all we can do is watch and a little rant here or there is not going to change anything anyway.

 

Much of it has to do with the business that has developed in my life as well. Business is up and that more than anything has kept me 'silenced' if you will, due to the lack of free tim. Anyway, watch out for the bigomy police and look forward to your next rant.
