From the charts, 2011 is likely the last year of the bear. From there into 2015 will likely see the bears with a cup in their hand on the street corner.

From Wikipedia: "Badgers are capable of fighting off much larger animals such as wolves, coyotes and bears."

Yes. Sorry that I have not posted anything of late. SPX met my first target. Now looking at this $700B bailout. Seeking Alpha won't post my article on this. Something just seems really wrong. Put a poll up on http://www.youchoose.net/ca... and most everyone is against this bailout.

From the charts, silver could likely go as high as $60 per oz within the next year.

Oh man, this little jog up is tame compared with the run up likely going into Spring [according to the chart I am looking at]. Then it's likely a long, long ride down into the summer of 2010.

Anyone recall my post on 08/17 in a reply to mimi66 regarding evilspeculator.com: http://slopeofhope.com/2008...

Short term (1 mo.):
RUT could likely go as high as 785.
SPX could likely go as high as 1360 [Tim's chart above: upper channel line]
DJI could likely go as high as 12070.
Gold could go as low at 685. [I said could but not likely]
SKF could likely go as low as 103.

evilspeculator.com was forecasting a breakdown in the markets: "I expect financials and banks to be the sectors that will help drag down the S&P and the Dow and lead it to breach the lower support line of the current triangle on both indexes."

By the way, I turned shareholder activist today: http://www.youchoose.net/ca...
and Seeking Alpha invited me to become a regular SA contributor.

Also did a chart on UVE, and challenged Tim K. and Tom Gardner (Motley Fool Million Dollar Portfolio) on http://www.wallstreetsurviv... They are starting a new $250K contest next week (I signed up as badgerthelion).

Let me give you an analogy of how I feel right now. It's like running into the spouse’s coworker, who asks you: How do you like the new vacation home that you guys just bought? You: What home?!?!? Coworker: Oh, didn't your spouse tell you? My bad.

WowWee is acquiring Think Tank Toys. A $15 billion Personal Robotics market out there for the taking, and these guys are expending resources on a costume company. I feel so embarrassed. I made an apology to my readers earlier today.

Sykes is a "Penny Stock" daytrader with hundreds of minions. I called this weeks ago and have only 5 readers on my blog (only one regular reader). Sykes would not even consider trading OPMR [because it is "a real company with real earnings"] Sykes Sharpe Ratio is 21.95 on covestor.com. My Sharpe Ratio is only 7.5 on http://www.socialpicks.com/....

Very few people care about what I have to say online, but I am loving every minute of this for the folks here who called me a focktard, a bulltard, and an idiot on this blog, saying that I had screw loose, that I have to be nuts to jeopardize my retirement on a “penny stock”, zeroing out my DISQUS points, etc. [I used to like this blog (before folks started verbally attacking me), unlike Yahoo Finance where I regularly get attacked for the discussion points that I raise. Maybe its my badger personality that brings out the worst in people in these online social settings - my brain is definitely wired differently than mainstream webites]

Beginning to think that management has been sandbagging material information. It takes time to ship product from China to the US. In order for FemiSapiens to be in stock in stores today, management would have had to known that at the last CC, two and half weeks ago. Ditto goes for Rovio. Now FemiSapien is in the number one spot on amazon.com in RC Figures & Robots and #581 in Toys & Games. That's better than Roboquad last year during the holiday season. [compare that with Roboquad at #3,130 in Electronics today on amazon.com and #8 in RC Figures & Robots]

Now beginning to think that the remaining Optimal Payments assets sale is going to be a lot sooner than 12 months, and for a lot more than what folks are expecting. Bet the shorts are feeling like they have been caught with their pants down.

Ready for an OPMR pop?

Meet Rovio [http://www.meetrovio.com] the first robot to feature the NorthStar smart navigation and positioning system, which represents a major breakthrough in robotics technology. Working like a micro-GPS system, the NorthStar system enables the Rovio robot to know where it is, locate the position of other objects, and navigate from place to place with pinpoint accuracy, entirely under its own control.

Rovio competes directly with IRBT's ConnectR telepresence robot.

Why do you assume that the market is right? [George Soros always assumed that the market is wrong] Wouldn’t you rather first know about a company before everyone else does, or do your feel like you have to follow the pack, seeking safety in numbers. WowWee’s entry in the personal robotics market occurred in parallel with IRBT’s entry into this market. IRBT started out in toy robotics and failed, before launching its Roomba robotic vacuum cleaner. WowWee succeeded in robotics beyond anyone’s expectations.

Investors. They look at a chart and say that chart looks really ugly. Then when someone presents a good case for the chart, they say 'I will wait until I see the price go up enough, before I can have confidence in the chart'. Then after the chart has gone up, they think 'it's too expensive now, I will wait until it pulls back'. Then the chart continues to go up. Then they are mad at themselves for waiting, jumping in before it goes up any higher. The chart pulls back, and they are really pissed, because it just blew though their stop. But they rationalize it to themselves, saying 'it could have been a much bigger loss'. Then the chart surges ahead. Now they are really pissed off saying 'fooled me once, not going to let it fool me again', and head onto other greener pastures. Three months latter, they inadvertently stumble upon the chart after it is way up, and they can't believe it. So they short it, thinking that is a sure thing. Then the chart surges higher, blowing through their stop. Then they say 'that's it, I am done with this chart forever'.

One more attempt at an explanation [to the robotics challenged investors] as to why my entire net worth is in OPMR:

IRBT IPO vs. WowWee Pseudo IPO

iRobot (IRBT) had about $76 million in cash after its IPO in 2005, which was priced at $24.00 per share for approximately 23.4 million shares. After WowWee's pseudo reverse merger into Optimal Group, Inc. (OPMR), and OPMR’s Optimal Payments subsidiary assets sales, OPMR will likely have significantly more cash than what IRBT had after its IPO, about the same number of shares [with OPMR’s share buyback], and about the same revenue [$142 million revenue for IRBT in 2005 vs. WowWee 2008E revenue of $130 to $140 million]. Both companies are in the Personal Robotics market, anticipated to grow to $15 billion by 2015. WowWee’s Rovio telepresence robot competes directly with IRBT’s ConnectR telepresence robot.

* IRBT IPO: $24.00 per share.
* WowWee Pseudo IPO: $2.63 per share (as currently priced by the market).

Do ya think the market might have misplaced a decimal somewhere?

If you still don't get it, then listen to this MP3 interview of WowWee's Mark Tilden: http://superstreng.no/media...

And if you still don't get it, I give up, because it is like explaining the concept of an online retail brokerage to someone back in the 1970's, or the concept of a personal computer to someone back in the 1960's.

CYPB bounced off its Fib fan line today (up 3%). Anyone get the same chart as in the Seeking Alpha article [having Fib fans, arcs, retracements and a Fib time series - a bit busy - but kind off interesting (if into TA)]? Or are folks here mostly interested in TA bear charts?
