  • Back in the market again

    20221214-1217. Today I got back in the market after Fed Raises Rate by 0.5 Percentage Point, Signals More Increases Likely https://apple.news/AN3Ba8QUXRka3D1br-o87tQ.

    So I used the research tools, tried to place orders, and decided my brain can’t manage this stuff!

    So I reverted back to managed mutual funds and ETFs for now, knowing that markets go up and down and all around.

    I wanted to generate income, reinvest in dividends and interest, but expect some taxable stuff to manifest.

    It’s the thrill of speculative risks that I like for the last 20 years in which I did throw ALL my eggs into the initial/initiated basket with some high-profile/public players and the second/referral (by THEM) basket is still ongoing so that the main/primary rooster boss won’t be evicted (again).

    This would probably be my final and third basket since I’m going nowhere until yeeted by THEM for stepping outta line!

    That’s all. FlynnsPaws.

  • Ban hedge funds…

    I don’t know what is a “hedge funds.” The bottom-line is: How are these “hedge fund” companies/managers going keep/get money that may or not be available, not unless there is a BIG rubber eraser head that can fudge the numbers among the piles of paperwork. Independent, external auditors must indentify if any loopholes are being exploited for whatever nefarious activities on the investors monies.

    ‘Until deaths do us part’ is to ‘until debt do us part’.
    ‘Until we meet again’ is to ‘until we cheat again’.

     Oog! Oog! Maliking itlog!
    Akembok ang lee-it ko!
    Ang laking ang tee-tee mo!

    Happy bird! Happy bird!
    I am a good girl turned bad;
    Away from being a nerd;
    Just to fit the latest fad.

    (Three ‘poems’ created on Saturday, July 12, 2008 10:15:06 PM)

    Knife through our hearts to sound like they’re smart;
    And blame their own in-laws for their misdeeds and flaws;
    Throwing their darts to high heavens like fart.

    Defending their worldviews; smoke, gamble and booze;
    Twisting and turning; burning not learning;
    Ranting and raving; craving not saving.

    I believe that all religion starts out as scams. It only takes one person with lots of time to spare to come up with something new and innovative and imagination to pen these creative thoughts and ideas into words to fool lots of gullible believers, who in turn, sell the fictitious materials to other ignorant believers. And when the monetary incentive to help keep the profit ball from rolling is messed up by debunkers who come in and ruin the fun, dangerous people seem to come out to stop the truth: It’s all about business and not saving one’s soul or healing a person.

    Friends Like You make me want to hurl.
    Tinkering with a toy – a little girl.
    The EasyCat® touchpad I remember well.
    You jumped up and down my little pearl.

  • 20081119-Hate Them

    As it stands, no word from ‘Pete’.
    ‘Oh, the Banjo’ and the burning ‘Bush’!
    I no longer stand but fall on hard times.

    I cannot get through to EDD.
    The lines are always busy.
    I no longer stand but fall on hard times.

    I cannot find temporary job.
    ‘One Apple’ took a bite out of me.
    I no longer stand but fall on hard times.

    The collection agencies call.
    The BANKERS will not REPAY moi from now until 01/20/2009.
    I no longer stand but fall on hard times.

    I hate you Pete! WTF!???

  • 20080331-Pikocchio San

    Hey, ‘Smooches’! Your ‘Paw’ is pissing me off!
    Yes! Eight ‘slong’ years like Pinocchio’s swoon!
    Shits by ‘Uncle PM’, my hard work – scoff!
    Sticking and trolling; you fat, purple prune!
    Godless men praying to government trough,
    Shots by CIA from a dentist goon.

    Author’s note: A ‘Harrisham Rhyme poem about unfinished business of ‘ten syllables’ with rhyming scheme of ‘ababab’.

    This teeny, weenie, short poem is inspired by a photo showing his fat boy in a purple and white checkered shirt and another phone call about his ongoing dental problems around 04:30PM.

  • 20080228-Pete’s Moronic

    To ‘Shrimpsei’ and his disingenuous forums:
    It’s about those Moronic quorums.
    Google ‘Pete’ and his last name of kin —
    The Fiji author of my video, upload grin.
    TPTB are pissing me off!
    Laughing and spitting with their cough
    Related to each other, interbreeding kinds
    He too is responsible for reading our minds.

    Hey! It’s a short poem ranting about unfinished business.

  • 20080104-Pete’s Project

    Pete’s stupid project – great honor delays
    Warrior felon – an islander plays
    His constant lying and cheating to us
    A banker’s folly – more snags, hissing cuss

    The voice of a frog and fat like a toad
    Worldwide connection, their Masonic code
    Woe the world, His kingdom come
    My Anger-geddon blasts greediness scum

    A poem of eight lines with AB end rhymes.

    Author’s note: Well, the time is past 01:39AM on Saturday, 01/05/2008. And after zapping my worries away and shocking my system awake, I decided to play around with the presentation of my blogsite from blue to brown. I couldn’t get my customized CSS to make my blogsite work as before and decided to go with the default of larger fonts with more bar items which I feel are too spaced far apart. As some of you may know, this particular poem mixes unfinished business with impatient spiritualism.

  • 20071120-Thank Job

    Thank George and his agency for giving me a temp job
    Another slave unit in the system of unending hopelessness
    The rat race towards the glass ceiling of opportunity for women
    Where the ladder of success failed other capable minds and bodies

    Thank George and his Mammon for giving me a lousy buck
    Another dollar earned with the valuation backed by nothingness
    The price inflation running away with my last juicy burger
    Where the goal of competition means going into debt forever

    Thank George and his God for giving me a more illusions
    Another pointless imperfection of security and protection
    The drug-induced imprisonment of freedom and truth
    Where TPTB of Bush and company profited from our innocence

    A poetry of three stanzas in free-verse.

    Author’s note: Today, this lazy girl got the bad news:  She is going back to work (more like a temporary assignment for six month) next week after a home-bound bout of being laid-off since June 2007 by TPTB without health insurance and of having unpaid credit card debt founded by buck-teeth and pals. Don’t wanna work! NO! NO! NO!

  • 20070926-Right Arm

    Right shoulder is shot from sleeping a lot.
    Rusty hinges pop, snap, crackle and flop
    Lifeless. With tingling, angered nerves mingling
    To deck my clenched jaws with its unseen laws —
    To attack my neck and leaving a wreck —
    An energy drain from overwork sprain.

    Gave them my right arm with credit card charm
    As their right hand fan of Dark masters’ clan
    From the beginning of my birth spinning
    To carry the weight with angelic trait
    Shots through the heart as trusted friends part
    Their separate ways towards better days

    Author’s note: A poem (of two, six-lined stanzas with ten syllables with internal and external rhymes per lines) about being tired from cleaning the windows and blinds on Sun. 9/23/07 and Mon. 09/24/07 – inside and out and about sick from waiting patiently — for nothing! Reminded me of having profound weakness of whole arm last year, too.

  • 20070907-Tear Roars

    Terrorists of nightmares
    tempt those who take a drink.
    Taste more froth than their blood.
    Try their cup full of hate.
    Test their fearful resolve.
    Threatens security.
    Twisting dreams for freedom.

    Third attempt at Pleiades poem.

    Top Ten Reasons Not To Give Money To Dirt Poor Relatives

    10. Retrieving property (such as a jewelry gift) pawned for the dire need of money.
    9. Encountering open palms extended upward to greet the receipt of cash as gifts.
    8. Loving your long lost kin folks, which include every stranger in the small town.
    7. Avoiding a slow death (such as foot amputation) by sending 24,000 pesos.
    6. Treating each other with respect, with more special treatment to the money givers.
    5. Helping those in the most need by donating $500.00 for a hemorrhoid operation.
    4. Instilling hope in your kin’s future by sponsoring the ‘smart ones’ for education.
    3. Establishing shelters with monthly support for electrical and telephone services.
    2. Vouching for business endeavors that cannot be paid back no matter how lucrative.
    1. Saving your pension and retirement funds for their burial and funeral services.

    Another attempt at ‘list poem’ combined with acrostic about dirt poor relatives in the Philippines devising credible and somewhat believable schemes for monetary aide. These examples are water-downed versions of the Nigerian 419 Advance Fee Fraud Scams.
