Why I am not outraged. The NSA and Cootys Rat Semen

 I am not outraged. Did you hear me? I said, "I am not outraged!" This week I learned that the NSA can see everything on the internet, maybe even in real time. At first I felt threatened by this admission because I immediately thought of every racy email/text/photo I have ever sent and had a mini panic attack. After my initial freak out, I thought about it and realized the NSA can sort through a wave of emails all day everyday and probably never stumble on anything I do. And if they did? I'd probably wear it as a badge of honor, that anything I wrote or said could ever be construed as anything more than the ramblings of a bohemian daytrader.
   Snowden is a cool guy, there's no doubt about that. He's obviously smart and has a hot ballerina/stripper girlfriend who he was no doubt shagging everyday in Hawaii. I wonder if ballerina's are more flexible? Ok, I've wandered a bit. Back to the point!
   My point is simple. I probably wouldn't have snitched on the NSA like he did. Why? Because I have seen the movie Sneakers. The NSA are gods among men. They are the only thing smarter than the Chinese. And the Russians. They stop dastardly plans, like biological attacks or let us know what the rest of the world doesn't want us to know. And what's the price? Somebody might glaze over my private emails/texts w/out my consent? I figured they were doing that anyway. So why risk life and career to tell us what we already know? Now I'm thinking whistle-blowing is a cool new hipster trend. Oh and now the bad guys know PRISM too and will just use snail mail or bike messengers or some other god-forsaken antiquated messaging service. Thanks hipster snitches!
   The internet is a big hack fest anyways, so why should we expect the government to sit on their hands? Spying on Americans sucks but not as bad as the future of most murderous plots happening because we have no secret surveillance. My privacy is not a big deal until its made public. Once info is leaked or used, to gain politically or financially, thats when it gets all Nixony and impeachment must be the standard. So for the NSA, it's like, look but dont touch. As long as the NSA doesn't leak or use info callously, im ok with it.
                                                        COOTYS RAT SEMEN?

                                                        TOO MANY SECRETS!

They have the potential to do a lot more good than the risks involved w/my privacy. I say get over yourself, its not 1776, it's not unreasonable and it's not a big deal if everyone else is doing it - KGB Mossad, ISI MI6 etc

The Battle of 500 is Upon Us!

 The epic batte of 500 is upon us. BE proud that you are participating in groundbreaking history. We have the most historic fight for support Apple has ever seen and we are on the front lines swords clanging sharply on iron shields. Future generations will sing heroic tales about our courage and our names will be enshrined in gold  - cause we are traders......and these trades we make right here, these trades in the next few days, they will be remembered far after we're gone...... far after the funds are settled and the profits evaporated on booze and women .............No my friends - not us. not these trades. Trades like these... ............trades like these live forever!
  Ok but for real this is huge. This is real life and it's happening right now and we should be chomping at the bit to get in on this volatility. You are about to do battle in one of the most legendary battles traders have ever lived and died for and all I want to know is one thing, who's side did you fight for? Where were you when the walls of 500 broke? Ok that's two things but still, are you stoked or what?
  Like Helms Deep in T2T  (the two towers)- we have our line in the sand (500) and all will seem lost if that line gets broken. And like T2T, it seemed extremely important to hold the wall or the goblin hoard would surely overwhelm us...Well be prepared for the wall to burst and the goblins to come pouring on in.... defeat will seem all but certain (just like the movie) but tthe battle is not lost ........(dramatic pause) .............as we all know.... (still pausing) ...............- the tide suddenly and irrevocably turned when Gandalf (news) arrived from the North (China) and at the last minute his army of horseman (buyers) quickly defeated the evil orcs (short sellers) of Saruman (Gundlach) and the journey to Mordor to destroy the ring continued.

    My point is whether or not 500 breaks this week doesn't matter. We know Gandalf is coming. News is on the way - we just have to hold on tight till light breaks on the 23rd day of January - if we can stay alive that long, we will live to fight another day.

My strategy going into this ER is long and longer. Im not hedging and I'm not "playing it safe." Things are about to get ugly- but in times like these you need to remember your LOTR scenes. Hang in there, Gandalf is coming...

Next week: How regular TV is like "the ring" and why we have to go to Mordor (the cable companies) to destroy it
