It's RIMM day. Big expo unveiling the Blackberry 10. Also, they are renaming the company to Blackberry and it's getting a new ticker symbol. And they hired Alicia Keys as "Global Creative Director", whatever that is. PR shill I guess. The phones seem cool. It'll be interesting to see if they pick things up like the Lumia did for Nokia.

RIMM stock price spiked four percent and then promptly sold off four and a half. Meh.

People think me an incurable Apple fanboi, but I have to say I'm tremendously impressed by the BlackBerry Z10.

Which direction? 


I've been sitting quietly for nearly a year. Time to trade a little more actively, so I picked up a few SPY puts. H+S pattern over the last couple days. So far, it isn't paying off, but it's only been a half hour. 

[Admiral Yi]

Which direction? 

Long.  Gubmint's case is bogus.

Nevermind. Working now.

I still like REITs at the moment, mainly cause I like stability and I like dividends right now.
