Getting interested in buying one of the regional wireless telecoms such as SHEN or USM.  Maybe they will get bought out by T-Mobile US or other party.

My Twitter strategery failed. I hoped Zuckerfuckface would make a play for the company, but instead the stock went into the shitter.

Made a small profit, but I'm a bit butthurt right now.

What reasons for Facebook to acquire Twitter?

AT&T has been taking a beating recently, following news of their takeover bid for Time Warner.  36.79 today, after peaking around 43.  Credit raters also put them on watch (currently BBB+).

My only hope now is to get written into the Anger Monkey will.

BKCC taking a beating, was down as low as 6.85 a share this morning.  Good time to buy, maybe?  Though their release after COB yesterday looked a bit concerning....

Momentum trading FTW. Generally speaking.

Wall Street giddiness scaring me.  I sold off a piece of my portfolio today to build up cash and lock in gains.

It's interesting how the market is predicting Trump's policies:

Foreign ETFs: ass crushed.  Mexico in particular.

Finance: up a bunch.  Analysts say regulations will be watered down.

My pipeline ETF is up a bunch, I guess because Trump will ditch a lot of green stuff like electric car subsidies?

Just got an email from Lending Club: 2 United miles for every dollar invested.

How much is a frequent flyer mile worth?  I've never had any.

Few cents. Inflation rate is rough.

I have no idea what the fuck is going on with the markets today. My portfolio is up 3% overall. This much volatility worries me, even though it is great to see such an increase, after a year that started with a downer and has been pretty anemic in recovering since.

I meant how many miles do you need before you can get a ticket.
