I will lose it(AAPL) @ 660 next week, because I sold calls on it. Looking to buy more RGR(Ruger) or SWHC(Smith&Wesson).

Kinda scared right now though...everything seems so damn expensive for an economy that still feels like shit.

I basically gave up and bought some target funds. I still have a few stocks, but I really think we are looking at several years of pretty flat returns, so I am looking at real estate more now. I quit the market and basically quit gambling too. Early mid life crisis.

Yeah, he is not too bad. I think he usually does a good job, especially recently as he is in more serious roles. Ever seen Kalifornia? He does a good job as a dimwitted sociopath in that and I think it was probably about 15 years ago.

I've had a few people recommend Kalifornia but I still haven't seen it.

Do a role reversal in your mind, how do you think America would react if we had Chinese troops stationed in our country, just strolling around town in their armored vehicles and dropping bombs on neighborhoods every now and again. Shit would get real in America real quick.

Not the same. These attacks didn't happen in Iraq or Afghanistan. They were in Libya and Egypt.

That would be like Canada or Mexico firebombing Iran's embassy because of something they did to the US. That shit's not going to happen.

And 9/11 was blowback from us sending troops into Saudi arabia during the first Gulf war.

So Muslims flew planes into buildings in 2001 for something that happened ten years earlier?

Anyone here seen Tree of Life?

There are plenty of reasons that the US isn't popular with Arab Muslims in the Middle East, especially our support of Israel, but the continued presence of American troops in Saudi Arabia seemed to be the biggest single factor for Bin Laden personally.

Didn't we also try to kill Bin Laden at one point during Clinton's presidency and missed him?

I guess no one wants to discuss Tree of Life?

^^Well that was pretty fantastic.

Mildly humorous, I'd say.

But I hardly think that was most people's reaction to the announcement of Jones/Vitor.

Anyone here familiar with Paris Combo?

I saw it got good reviews and I thought I might want to see it.

Then I read those reviews and I thought, "No I don't".
