    At this moment I'm not liking the odds. If you don't see me on the fourm for a few weeks it will be because I'll need to get a second job to pay for your coffee cup...

    Anyway -- it was awkwark man cause I had to wonder how you would respond; let alone everyone else. I mean, I hope you can see how that could potientially make me look like an idiot.

    So -- anyway -- I'll call her that if she's really serious; but there is no way in hell I'm wearing a kangaroo outfit -- gosh --- I wouldn't do that no matter who asked me.

    Well I hope it's been great so far. We'll see ya tonight by 7; Sarah is on a break from S. Korea -- so she'll be with us -- along with Carrie.

    Carrie's favorite memory was watching you dance to Micheal Jackson's 'The Way You Make me Move'. According to her -- you had a cigar in one hand and a glass of Scoth in the other -- cranked it way up and went kind of wild.

    Well Happy Birthday Birch -- you're the best.

    Today was a day of rotation for the small caps - I gave back something like 30 coins but I'm still up 20 coins for the week so far. Perhaps tomorrow we'll be back in bull rally mode. The NYSE cumulative breadth is close to making a new all-time high. I'm close to pulling the trigger on raising some cash - today would have been an excellent opportunity to do some buying during the rotation. There will be another time. Getting through August and September might be a real trip.

    We could be due for a few more days of small cap weakness - that would hurt my oceanic account. The tugboat would do just fine as many members would be forced to genuflect with the S fund weakness as they start to roll backwards. That helps the few C fund lovers. Many lily padders are going to be vulnerable to the Birchtree heat seeker.

    At this moment it appears to be another "do nothing" day and that's a good thing as we may start building the foundation for a high base. The treeman should be happy, I do suspect his C-Fund alloaction will outperform my S-fund, but I'll kindly remind him when the Big caps are tired, folks will flee to the small caps.

    He's been touting the C for awhile now JT, but the ytd S numbers don't lie!

    James E,

    The year is not over yet. I hope you like crow.
