<p>Because we are small fry…</p>

<p>The firms that do this are not just paying for one order but for thousands of orders, or millions of orders. The citadels and getcos of the world are buying these orders.</p>

<p>Thank you but it’s a mixed blessing.</p>

<p>They better hurry up and innovate! The expectations for this company are absurd both on the upside and downside.</p>

<p>I guess Dick Tracy will be suing Apple soon. :)</p>

<p>So are we headed towards a wearable technology showdown between Apple wristwatches and Google glasses?

<p>And can Apple make the wrist watch cool again? None of my kids wear one. “I have my phone for the time.” But I tell them you can’t surreptitiously use a phone like you can a watch to check how much time you have to endure in that deadly, boring meeting or class.</p>

<p>I think google glasses have a lot of potential but people better not drive with those glasses on their heads. I guess that is why google is working on driverless cars. :)</p>

<p>I am not really into watches either, but I have this feeling others will pick up the slack. I don’t own a smart phone either.</p>

<p>Doct, that is a very good link.</p>

<p>I have invested in the try to get a decent return scam.</p>

<p>I have invested in the private placement scam.</p>

<p>I have not done the real estate scam. I doubt I will invest in that scam. :)</p>

<p>I’ve never done any of these but I still managed to lose $16.70 today in the market.</p>

4831

<p>Lol…</p>

<p>Market was very dull today. I went for a 3 1/2 hour walk instead.</p>

<p>I walked along 4th st in San Rafael where they filmed scenes used in American Graffitti. The street has many restaurants and businesses. It was very quiet except for Sol Food Restaurant which was hopping at 11:30 in the morning. I don’t know how most of the other businesses make it. Napoli’s is a great little family owned restaurant that
I think does ok. </p>

<p>I know you probably don’t know San Rafael, but I felt like writing the above anyway. :)</p>

<p>Its good to see somebody getting exercise. We’re trapped here from the snow. Right now somebody is trying to plow us but having huge difficulties.</p>

4833

<p>I did not need a sweatshirt or a jacket after 10:30 this morning. I couldn’t deal with the weather you are having. I can’t stand the snow. You live in the snow so I guess you can stand the snow.</p>

<p>Three-mile walk on treadmill at gym. Couldn’t go outside-- roads clear but too much snow piled up on the side of the road. Plus, we also got some icy rain. TRX group class tomorrow.</p>

4835

<p>And Bromfield, what did you think about the stock market on Monday? :)</p>

4836

<p>resist!!! Don’t get sucked in!!! Argh!!! I am short BAC 12 calls… (let it go!!!) Amazing, even GS turning bearish (or is it cautious) on stocks can’t make this thing go down. Increasing cash, lightening up, hurting my performance… as usual. :)</p>

4837

<p>NJres, I am with you there. I am accumulating cash little by little.</p>

4838

<p>"Increasing cash, lightening up, hurting my performance… as usual. "</p>

<p>Well…most of us here are kind of old. :)</p>

<p>Looks like we aren’t trying to maximize our returns anymore.</p>

<p>I sold some premium today so I can go out and play now.</p>
