Quit watching this after three or four episodes ... didn't find any of the characters attractive, everyone's a low-life ... story wasn't interesting to me, it's probably a semi-accurate reflection of the life of a Hollywood fixer, but I don't want to watch that. Biggest problem was Liev Schreiber playing a tough Irish Catholic from Boston when he's clearly a nice Jewish boy from Long Island.
Watched this HBO special from when? several years ago? ... Sarah talks about, among other things, the happy childhood memory of showering with her Mom, the water sprinkling off her "giant 70s Jew bush" onto young Sarah. I like most of her bits, not all of them, but I can identify with this X'er from New Hampshire -- she definitely doesn't fly in flyover country.
Small caps reverse... recall when they last reversed in February, I suffered a quick loss. maybe that'll happen again, maybe I'll catch the peak exactly ... time will tell.
The Euro finally reverses following the Yen last week. Is King Dollar's spectacular run truly over? I will book my gains and move along....
Amazon reported earnings on Thursday afternoon. Price initially popped to $420, then over the next ten minutes it fell all the way to $371 and change, but then over the next hour it went back up to $420 -- obviously brutal action. On Friday the stock opened at $439 and change and closed at $445. To the average observer, it closed at $390 and opened the next day at $439 ... they'd be oblivious to the drama.
This is my longest held long (short a short) now, put on back in March 2014. Will be interesting to see how much I give back once the China "bubble" bursts.
Reversed the yen short ... 20%+ gains in a currency few and far between ...
Reversing the long-held crude short ... big winnah.
Reversing the emerging markets short for a healthy loss.
Switch to short the Dow and Financials ...
