Predictions, Infatuations & Obsessions, and the Stock Market…
Nostradamus was great at forseeing the future. I failed to write down my 2011 #predictions early on in the year but it seems that some are already coming true.
Work:
- 2 people will leave the group
- The team will be organized differently
I’ll leave off my personal goals for the time being but the major one for 2011 is happily on-track.
#Infatuations & #Obsessions
I’m currently infatuated with this track from Estelle. It makes it to the #2011 Top 3/10 Tracks for the year.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShAmaOPK1h4
In no order of importance:
- Estelle featuring Rick Ross: “Break My Heart” / http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShAmaOPK1h4
- LMFAO: “Party Rock Anthem” / http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIOOwhmkoLo
- Adele: “Rolling in the Deep” / http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBRUkdQa6Is
Stock Market
Today is absolutely dismal for the stock market. It’s down over 400 points today near 11,000. When it’s under 11,000 i’m hoping that the floor is at 10,500 and it will be safe to move money back into AAPL, GOOG, HPQ, UPS, MRO and SAP. New companies I’d actively consider would be RNOW and CRM.
- Apple: 360.29
- Google: 555.30
- Hewlett-Packard: 31.30
- UPS: 63.14
- Marathon: 23.82
- SAP: 52.17
- Right Now: 125.63
- SalesForce.Com: 27.00
Precious Metals:
Equities are deceptively simple. I have no idea how to jump on to the precious metals (run-away) train…
Errata
Over the weekend, Lynette and I were happily surprised to attend South Lake Tahoe’s Hot August Nights 25th Anniversary. We got to see a bunch of Classic American Muscle Cars and Hot Rods. I got to see 3 examples of my favorite object of desire: The Shelby Cobra !
One of which was local to South Lake Tahoe: a 1965 Cobra red with white racing stripes CA License Tag 1965ASP
My next major frivolous purchase goal will be a Shelby Cobra by 2021. I hope this current dip in the stock market leads to the bounce that helps me get this trophy by 2016 or sooner…
