Uh, does anyone know anything about PBM and why its stock price has fallen over 20% since I bought it? Apparently a week ago they announced that they've been certified as following all necessary environmental regulations, and apparently this is... bad for business?

Heh, it does take a little bit out of the sting that almost every single non-gun stock in my portfolio tanked today.

The superbowl stocks are still doing quite well. I have to decide whether to drop them right before the superbowl, or just after. Will the superbowl itself give them a bump? I think it will, but I don't know...

But now we've got a ticking clock on buying assault style weapons, ammunition magazines for more than 10 rounds, and limited background and mental health checks. Lots of guns are going to be sold in the next month before congress can pass a bill. The gun stocks will probably tank the day of the signing.

I dont think the super bowl will have any effect since everyone knows the super bowl is going to happen and when its going to happen.

Apple finally went a little higher, too. Can't for the life of me figure out why, though.

Man, what is Ruger doing? It's up another 5 points while smith and wesson is down half a point.

Oh well. Superbowl stuff keeps going up and up and up. Best Buy is up 20 points since I bought it just over a week ago. Comcast, honda, and pepsi are up five points, and the others have only gained 2-3 points since then.

Have another two weeks before the superbowl, and right now all the various investers are thinking, "When will the hill stop climbing..." so they can sell. It'll probably all fall well before the game, so I'm going to sell in the next day or two and think about where to put my money next. I can't imagine best buy is going to keep going up, though, so I'll take that out today.

Isn't Best Buy in negotiations to go private?

Hmm, Reid announced that gun legislation is going forward to committee.

It still seems a little early to sell, because any pushback is likely to push the stock up, but it's hard to tell what either branch of Congress is liable to do at any given moment.

The house will never pass anything remotely like this, no matter what the majority of the country says. The NRA has way too huge a lock on these guys.

Like the majority of the country has any actual say in legislation. 53% may support the obama gun control bill, but 60% opposed obamacare. Didn't matter.

Good point. Majority rule doesn't mean much when they are wrong. Right, NAZIS?!?

Yeah, direct democracy, even if it were logistically possible here today, would probably be a bad thing because the majority of Americans are so egregiously stupid it's a wonder their brain remembers to tell them to breathe. (And you are now breathing manually).

Anyway. STOCKS. Those Darned DAQQs are still mussin up the rankings keeping me from ascending to my rightful place!

Only some of them. A lot of folks who have them bought them post split.

Hahaha the DAQQs are ridiculous. You always think "oh I'm buying into this far too late" but then it keeps going up and you bought in for a lot more than GenSpec ever did. :)

It's one of those reverse split stocks that I removed earlier. But since Gen Spec was under the limit of what I'd set to remove, he's still lead dog. Basically he gamed the system, but not badly enough that I lowered the boom on him when I was boom-lowering.

Poor poor Apple. Steve Jobs is dead. Who will save them from their own stupidity and complete and utter inability to run a profitable company now?

Even though they're still quite profitable...
