Thread: burrocrat's Account Talk

so i have this crazy idea...

i was going to start a "go fund me" page to try to dig up a few bucks, but i thought i would float the proposition here first to test demand...

i really want this item, but i can't justify spending that much on myself, so i thought 'well what if some folks all pitched in and donated some of it'? i could offer a prize or something to a random winner of a drawing of all folks that contributed no matter the donation if a certain minimum funding amount is reached?

i don't even know if this is acceptable to do on this website, and one of the hardest things i try to do is be acceptable on this website. it's true, but i sometimes fail. but i am thinking about posting a new thread with an anonymous poll where folks could pledge a dollar amount or two to help me get this thing, and then if it gets to the goal i will contribute a prize of silver back to the random drawing winner. but make no mistake, if the goal is reached it means i got enough pledges to buy this thing plus shipping and to cover my cost of the raffle prize.

so that means i am a net winner if it goes. somebody is a net winner for sure unless they pledged an amount higher than the raffle prize. and everybody else can write it off as on of those "well screw that moments".

any thoughts on this matter?

it would only be about a $250 total commitiment, and i will buy one of the raffle tickets myself.

Don't keep us in suspense any longer what is this so called THING? that may make a difference. Is it something that the contributors can use since they are invested,or is it underwear again heehee

well, i'm glad you asked...

it is nothing short of the coolest belt in the whole world... i call it the 'triple b'... buy burro a belt... (be sure to watch the video).

that's the beauty of the buy-burro-a-belt contibution raffle, you don't have to spend $180 to find out about the belt. you can donate a comfortable, modest amount and then when i get the belt i will for sure let everyone know just how cool it is.

Nothing has moved.
Everything is on a slow melt up.
The Ark System is just a measure of this.

I'm over 80% in the market, have had decent growth, but have not caught the indexes. In fact, today is the only day I have grown closer to the 'C'. The 'S' and 'I' are the alpha...

burros-ark update: well, more shenanigans and manufactured numbers to stay in the median and not tip the hand, yet. this is a huge giant setup, although i would rather bernie rant ‘youg’ than listen to gold boy donald and hillbot madame hoveround pretend pander to the middle class who will of course pay more to support the poor until 95% of the people are all destitute and the 5% in their gated enclaves toast themselves on their success. so this is a bad deal in front of us, which side to take? where is the future money to be made? is it the don to run us over, or the hill to choke us out? who knows, either way we get it. probably our own personal jabba the hut with huma on a leash, i bet she looks good in a slave girl bikini. but melania ain’t half bad neither. the seer stones are not working so good anymore, everything is blurry, everything looks all the same. good luck.

burros-ark signal: hold (confirm a lot of previous sells, again). el vira and exposure are showing a little more movement, most folks can only sit silent on a rock for so long, then they must move. hold. physics and human nature hate stasis. finance hates a vacuum even more, because finance only profits when folks transact, in either direction the profit to execute the transaction is the same. but if you know enough early enough, you can put yourself of the right side of the dime and take some extra off the top. there is a sh*t storm coming, it has been building for a while now, and it could build bigger for much more. hold.

burros-ark stuff: DAPL, dakota access pipeline, this is an interesting conundrum. it pits all the players against each other, but the players are all the same, more than they know. nobody green likes pipeline to transport oil, and they like trains to transport oil even less. the ideology and lefty friends who make boocoo bucks transporting oil by train fund in part the pipeline protests. everybody gets to the protest site by? you guessed it, pickup trucks and various internal combustion engines, even haul their horses in on trailers pulled by? yep, pickup trucks. even the media and cops observing, serving, monitoring the protest got transported there by? oil. many of them fly in on planes for much of their journey, powered by? well it ain’t unicorn soft serve and rainbow farts. so if everybody is brought together by and uses the same oil to do their thing, what is the problem with oil? or is the problem the people? who knows? i can tell you this though… both the private enterprise and the protesting people are well-funded and well incentivized and fired up. ululate. bang the drums. sic the dogs. protect yourself. protect the land. protect the law. protect commerce. what should we do? who should do it? watch the videos if you can find them. who is chanting, who is driving the warriors? grandmothers, that’s who. do not mess with a native grandmother, they have resources and history from other places they can bring to bear. some people are going to die there. the warriors and the soldiers will both write, and be written, in blood. if you drive a car or own anything made with plastic, you should be ashamed, on both sides. but the pipeline will still get built. and everybody will drive home, in their pickup trucks powered by… yep, oil. and then go to walmart to buy something new and shiny and disposable, yep, made of plastic. to horse!

burros-ark update: what do you call a minus -2.5% haircut in a toppy market? a good start. and we’re beginning to see a few more nibbles, ark folks moving incrementally in, putting more chips on the pass line, so volatility is making an appearance which is good news for traders. it seems nobody trusts the fed not to move, nobody trusts the politicians either because they are always moving, and nobody trusts themselves enough to move much more than a few pennies as well. what an interesting point in time.

burros-ark signal: hold (confirm a lot of previous sells, again). el vira and exposure are showing even more movement, some folks got tired of sitting silent on a rock for so long, now they are starting to move. hold. last week i said physics and human nature hate stasis, and sure enough we got some confirmation, the ether is practically humming with impatience, electric. i can’t tell you what is going to happen because i don’t know. and i can’t tell you what i would like to see happen because you would call me a doomsdayer and think i’m crazy, which i may be but not for this reason. hold.

burros-ark stuff: i shop at jcpenney online, a lot. because you can get reasonable quality and large selection at great prices if you use the rewards program and free ship to store options. plus they give me a free coupon for my birthday, which is coming up. another year, that is winning, yay me. so this year with my coupons and rewards i got some new running shoes. i have only owned office shoes and outdoor boots and river sandals for years, and the technology of these running shoes blows my mind. they are so light and look so sharp and are light as a feather. they are nike and i have an indelible picture in my mind of the first pair of nice shoes i ever owned, i had to spend my own money saved from multiple jobs to get them because nikes where outside family budget. so for gym class i bought my own pair of nikes, and these are as wonderful and amazing now as they were back then, only the world has changed meanwhile. oh well, it does that sometimes. so put them on and went for a hike. to the quickmart for lotto and the liquor store for beer. i feel like i done good, but it sure has been a long road.
