Computer = Dead

For the last couple of days I was able to wiggle my powercord in such a way as to let the computer get electricity. No more.

I am typing this on the computer at our fire house, and I beleive the machine is a 486, no joke. There is no spell check or any other blogger tools available. What a hoot.

I have purchaed a new Dell (client holding)that should be here in mid June. A neighbor supposedly has an extra lap top I can borrow which I hope to pick up tomorrow or over the weekend.

I will need to access my old computer to take stuff off of it when the new one arrives. If that last sentence makes me sound like an idiot, I may be but one of the guys I work with is not and will help me if I need it.

I'll mention one thing about the market and I will come back down to the fire house tomorrow to post again if I can't get the loaner. It is important to me to keep the blog going.

The market feels good right now. But it has gone in one direction for several days in a row. Even if we have embarked on the mother of all rallies, nothing can go in one direction for too long.

There is some good stuff in the blogosphere today that I can not link to because of the computer, but check out Bill Cara, Barry Ritholtz and David Jackson's ETF Investor page.

One trading note; about half of my cleints own a specialty retailer that has had a monster run (about 28% since I bought late fall). I put a tight stop under it to preserve the move. If you have anything that you have not planned on marrying that has moved in that fashion, some sort exit plan may make sense.

Please remember I have typed this with no spell check:-))

Is that a desktop computer? It sounds like you just need a new power supply.
