I don’t think balance sheets mean anything. These days NOTHING can be trusted. Just like the other day when the FDIC announced they were selling loans from seized banks, and all the other banks that were partners on the loan squealed like pigs.

String,

I read that one too. I got the impression FDIC was going ahead with it though. Did you see the figures in that article for what the loans were selling for after FDIC takes them over and sells them off – 40% of book for performing and 20% for non-performing? Yuck! If those are lies I don’t want to know the truth!

It has not been that long since AAPL was under fire for back dating options grants. Whatever you see in print means nothing. They are concoctions that vary from one company to the other. If you believe it to be true, you will be disappointed. You can’t even compare one companies lies against another, cuz they all lie different based on the conditions at the time.

I don’t think balance sheets mean anything. These days NOTHING can be trusted. Just like the other day when the FDIC announced they were selling loans from seized banks, and all the other banks that were partners on the loan squealed like pigs. If the FDIC sells loans for $.40 on a dollar, the other partners have to mark their loans to that. Since they are carrying them on the books at par, marking them down will make them the next seizure candidate. You can’t trust a book for anything, and it is really kinda sad. I feel for you and the rest of the youth of the world, my family especially. My generation did not hold true to their morals. I was raised different than this. I still want to believe a man’s handshake is as good as his word. Until we get back to that, we are headed the wrong way. I will be in pair-o-dice before this gets turned around, good luck to you.

Btw I went to yahoo finance to pull up AAPL income statements and Balance sheets and oddly they’re missing?

shame yahoo shame.

I wanted to vote for Obama, because I bought into his rhetoric. He is slicker than slick Willy as for as I am concerned. I really thought he might mean what he said. Here I am nearly 60 and gullible as ever. I didn’t vote for him because I have always admired McCain. NOTHING ever changes though. If we taught the truth in High School government classes it would embarrass the teachers. I have just become such a cynic, it even bothers me.

I have my ciabatta dough mixed and covered. I will cook tomorrow morning. I am having homemade pizza tonight so the oven should have cooled down to just warm by bedtime. I will let the dough sit in the oven overnight, and cook tomorrow morning. I will update you Sunday if it worked.

I wondered about Dave and JG too. I’ll be on my best behavior should they come back – promise.

How about Obama getting stuck with Matt’s export meme? haha

It is good to have you back. We seem to have lost Jungle Lady, we didn’t need to lose you too. I still miss ole Dave. The last time we heard from him he was suffering badly from gout. We never heard whether he got better, and that is troubling me.

Good chart link. I also read his comments on the Elliott Wave count – as usual, so many interpretations.

I boil my eggs 15min on medium to medium high heat. You want the water boiling lightly, not a gusher. That way they will not be too hard boiled. Cool them only enough to be able to handle them then peel them immediately.

Happy Easter
