So...is the economy getting better?

<p>BigBadDad…newcomers are allowed…you can post and say whatever you want…Whenever you want. </p>

<p>3 jobs in one year? Sounds tough…</p>

<p>You don’t paint a rosy picture.</p>

<p>doct…that is a pretty negative article…</p>

<p>I do hope that interest rates rise before 2014…</p>

<p>Corporations share of revenue is at highs…workers share is at lows…</p>

<p>I Keep waiting for workers to revolt… :)</p>

<p>My daughter is going to withdraw from Calculus 2 which means that she won’t graduate this Spring. It sounds like she got a second “teacher from hell” which overall isn’t too bad for college. I asked her to look at retail jobs in Boston near her brother’s apartment. She found an opening but she won’t be done with school until late May but I told her to keep looking around. There are jobs out there - not the best of jobs but I told my daughter that I think that everyone should have a job that doesn’t pay well at least once so that you can appreciate a real job with growth potential.</p>

<p>I’m confused BCEagle91…</p>

<p>I thought your daugthter was in high school?</p>

<p>Community College - she has to pass Calc 2 for her degree. I shouldn’t have pushed her into CS. She has the ability to get an AS - but I don’t think that she can get a BS. And she doesn’t have the desire. We just did CS as it was the quickest path to a degree. I think that she’d rather do a humanities degree. At any rate, she’s indicated that she would like to work for a while which is fine with me.</p>

<p>Ok…now everything makes sense…</p>

<p>Yeah CS isn’t for everybody…</p>

<p>Kind of rough if calc2 is needed for a degree…</p>

<p>Calc 2 is required for a lot of degrees. She is reasonably well-prepared and can learn the material - it just isn’t something that she is excited about. I started going over calculus with her many years ago so she is familiar with the broad themes. Her brother has tutored calculus, physics, logic design and other math and science areas for five years but he’s been busy with his job and thesis this year making it hard to provide additional tutoring. I’ve been busy too.</p>

<p>Maybe I will need you to tutor me…</p>

<p>I forgot calculus…</p>

<p>I asked you awhile back about learning how to program…</p>

<p>Am I going to need calculus to study Java or C++?</p>

<p>The broad ideas of calculus are easy. You can teach them to elementary school kids. The practice, theory and applications are the harder parts.</p>

<p>You don’t need calculus to learn Java or C++. Discrete Math is more useful.</p>

<p>Ok…good…because my brain is starting to decline. :)</p>

<p>some of those weekly puts in iwm and spy might have to be rolled over and out til next week - “keep them doggies moving ----”!</p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>spy and iwm are not down that much this week…</p>

<p>I saw that the market was down and was going to pick up some more AAPL shares. Then I looked at the price and it was only down 17 cents. Oh well.</p>

<p>Where do you think Aapl’s price will be in 4 weeks?</p>

<p>Historically - up into earnings</p>

<p>When are earnings?</p>

<p>I’d have to look at what I think product announcements will look like but I’d be happy if it were right here at $600. I would actually like AAPL to rest for a while - it’s in parabola mode and I would love to see consolidation for a few months.</p>

<p>On the latest call spread that I bought 515 - 660, I break even at ~600 on April 21st. Right now I’m losing a bit. As far as the puts, why should I buy spy at 138 this week when perhaps I can buy it next week at 136 and collect some premium</p>

<p>I don’t know…it’s your trade… Lol</p>

<p>I sell weekly puts on aapl also.</p>

<p>I deleted my last 2 aapl posts…</p>

<p>It was going to get complicated…</p>

<p>Doct…you are playing with fire…</p>

<p>Sometimes …the stock market goes lower…</p>
