Zacks' Bull Of The Day: Greenbrier - The Greenbrier Companies, Inc. (NYSE:GBX) | Seeking Alpha

Lucky me, I already have scored a +$113K profit and just waiting for a stock split and don't plan on selling for several years. It's actually an unrealized gain.

My oceanic account did fine this week: +$30K, +$31K, -$3K, -$22K, +$45K for a pleasant gain of +$81K. For the month of August I made +$309K which actually left me $34K short of a full July recovery - but I'm not going to complain. September may offer me a surprise and another +$300K pop. For the last eight months I'm ahead of the game by +$498K - will the next four months push me to the +$1M mark? Big question and a terrible wall of worry. I think I'm on my way for some Tom Terrific gains the next four months. I now have 120 dividend increase announcements - looking to be last years' 158.

I have to get this off my chest so please understand and forgive me if I alienate anyone. So we have radicalized jerks from this country going to help the Islamic State in Syria. If I were young and just out of the military with Ranger or Seal skills I'd be volunteering up into the contract security services and going back to Iraq without any constraints - just pay me $200K a year and I'll gladly be an assassin and take no prisoners. These guys know the country and customs and the CIA has the money to hire their own civilian army. Pay'em well and let them return to Iraq and kill anything that is wearing a black hood. Obama doesn't have to get involved - you know the anger for all the blood lost is mighty strong - let them have vengence.

Well the good folks at Tyson done took my (HSH) Hillshire brands but they did leave me with a nice profit that I'll have to declare for taxes.

Birchtree.....I have to get this off my chest so please understand and forgive me if I alienate anyone. So we have radicalized jerks from this country going to help the Islamic State in Syria.

No alienation here Birch... Very well said. This problem is a festering cancer we will have to deal with for some time...
News reports say, Intelligence Services are tracking these Islamists, sure hope so, the real threat will be when they come home..

A while back my Trinity Ind. (TRN) did a 2/1 split from $84 to $42 and now sits at $49.50 - what is a small investor to do. I know, wait until it gets back to $84 again and does another split - rinse and repeat.

It doesn't appear that I'm going to get dividend reinvestment golden prices today, so I'll have to settle for unrealized gains. Sometimes you just have to accept what the market offers the little guy. At any rate I'll take what I can get. Perhaps it's time to do some fall buying.

There is no stopping the money flow.

I've been fortunate to receive some golden prices for my dividend reinvestments the last couple of days - may it last all month. Possible S&P correction means buy Europe now. Remember, if you don't know who you are, this is an wxpensive place to find out.
