    New Stock Terms

    New Stock Terms CEO - Chief Embezzlement Officer CFO - Corporate Fraud Officer BULL MARKET -A random market movement causing an investor to mistake himself for a financial genius. BEAR MARKET - a 6 to 18 month period when the kids get no allowance, the wife gets no jewelry, and the husband gets no sex. VALUE INVESTING - The art of buying low and selling lower. P/E RATIO - The percentage of investors wetting their pants as the market keeps crashing. BROKER - What my financial planner has made me. STANDARD & POOR - Your life in a nutshell. STOCK ANALYST- Idiot who just downgraded your stock. STOCK SPLIT - When your ex-wife and her lawyer split your assets equally between themselves. MARKET CORRECTION - The day after you buy stocks. CASH FLOW -The movement your money makes as it disappears down the toilet. YAHOO - What you yell after selling it to some poor sucker for $240 per share. WINDOWS - What you jump out of when you're the sucker who bought Yahoo at $240 per share. INSTITUTIONAL INVESTOR - Past year investor who's now locked up in a nuthouse. PROFIT - an archaic word no longer in use. If you had purchased $1000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you will have $49.00 today. If you had purchased $1000 of shares in AIG one year ago, you will have $33.00 today. If you had purchased $1000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago, you will have $0.00 today. But ---- if you had purchased $1000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for recycling refund, you will have received $214.00. Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle. It's called the 401-Keg. A.T.

  3. Bull barrels....WTF! I know they are illegal, but why? A.T.
  4. They all suck! Their CS is in the gutter. Of course we also have to put up with the brainless TSA. Drive when you can. Stay Safe, A.T.
  5. Hey fellow, your human. A.T.
  6. Did you ever hear back from Lyman? A.T.
  7. They probably are so busy filling orders, they don't have time to update their website. I've ordered several thousand Zero bullets from a certain supplier, they always show "Out of stock". But in 5 to 10 days, the order arrives at my home. Stay Safe, A.T.
  8. Wow! I'm sure glad I invested in some polycarbonate shooting glasses. Like I say, Stay Safe, A.T.

    UP

    Lovers of the English language might enjoy this. It is yet another example of why people learning English have trouble with the language. Learning the nuances of English makes it a difficult language. (But then, that's probably true of many languages.) There is a two-letter word in English that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that word is 'UP.' It is listed in the dictionary as being used as an [adv], [prep], [adj], [n] or [v]. It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP ? Why do we speak UP, and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report? We call UP our friends and we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car. At other times the little word has a real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special. And this up is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP. We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night. We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP ! To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP , look the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4 of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more. When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP. When it rains, it wets UP the earth. When it does not rain for awhile, things dry UP. One could go on & on, but I'll wrap it UP , for now ........my time is UP, so time to shut UP! Oh...one more thing: What is the first thing you do in the morning & the last thing you do at night? U P Oh, and don't screw it up. Now I'll shut up.
  11. That looks great! Have you shot with them yet? Stay Safe, A.T.

    The voters are the term limits. They/we keep electing those idiots! Stay Safe, A.T.
  13. The last time I shot in that big Paris, KY gun store, you were not allowed to pick up your own brass. I have not been there for a few months, so that rule might have been removed. Stay Safe, A.T.
  14. I have the same setup with a Belkin 'N'. My router has to send the signal through 4 walls and that includes the hall closet. IMHO, you should be getting an excellent signal. I'd call Belkin's customer service. When I installed mine, I had a case of 'head up butt'. They were very helpful. Good Luck, A.T.
  15. If Your Finished, Hammer Down, Holster. A.T.
  16. Ok, so you finish a stage. IYFHDH. So you walk back to your range bag and put your pistol in a bag. DQ! What am I missing? A.T.
  17. Hey,.... we are shooting real guns! You gotta do what is right. Stay Safe, A.T.
  18. It looks like it's going to be cold and DRY! Life is Good, A.T.
