not to be a stick in the mud or anything... but to be a 'chief' diesel mechanic in the private sector you have to be good at knowing how to fix things and be able to fix them anytime anywhere, not just be good at telling others to fix things anytime anywhere. it's a different world.

lead by example is key.

whatever the career choice or vocation, i think the proper term is 's/he gots stones'. down and dirty wins the race.

Think you misunderstood. Navy chief, fire control. entirely different profession. major career switch occurred post-navy. He worked hard labor construction as a highschooler, he knew what hard work was, but a small boned small guy over 50 + huge 16wheeler tires aren't all that good a match. he didn't think about that when he was anxious to give up the supervisory responsibilities. He led by example in the Navy. 16 hour days, 7 days a week, no family life for months at a time. You work your way up to Chief took him over 20 years to do it, he did his time as a grunt shipboard.

I cant wait to retire and be a mail man.

You don't need to wait until you retire to be called a simpleton if you think being a letter carrier is a cushy job.

I'm going to spin this turd of a month into a BLT sandwich

10 days in the F-Fund, 8 in the G-Fund and 3 in the S-Fund yielded 1.03%

Roughly acquiring 20% of the S-Funds monthly gains while taking on 15% of the exposure.

Yummy sh!t sandwich

I hear from my friends that being a letter carrier is a bitch. My Old Man told me that if working was fun they wouldn't pay you for doing it!

Broke below key support today, not good...

It's really just fine - we need some more give back to calm the nerves of the bulls. My dividends need this weakness to last a few more weeks - then we'll be coiled for higher ground.

Meh:

Barely...moderate volume.....and one day....I think the markets could drift up the remainder of this week if anyone cares to time it and look to buy into existing open gaps, like ~1,030 in the S-fund, if they expect the drop to resume anew next week - since I'm not in right now - that's where I'm looking to re-enter.

Then again, since I think it, it probably won't happen.

Thanks for the info, Jason. I almost overlooked it because at first I thought you were referring to the Clint Eastwood movie.

P.S. The address in the link is correct but for some reason clicking it doesn't take me there. I had to get there off the blog page. Any one else have this issue?

P.S.S. It's only the one in the message body that is giving me issues. The one in the sig. line works.
