A New Year

2008 is great, but 2009 is MINE!

2009 will be incredible! I believe in positive thinking and energy. I always say that every year will be my year and I like saying that because it makes my body switch this gear on and starts working on things you challenge it to. When you want something, you get it.

I hate saying, “I hope” or “Wish me luck” because there is no luck. It’s always going to happen. I don’t hope because I know so. Hope means you are not sure.

Know means it’s going to happen.

Some people are dwelling on "how tough these times are". For me, I don’t care if the economy is thriving or hurting because watching Comedy is just awesome. I love to laugh. It’s the natural high. Don’t you realize that when you laugh really hard, whatever you were thinking before that just kinds of go away.

All I can say is that everything is going to be fine. This is America. We live in the greatest country in the world. We have been here before, but we always pull through. This recession is nothing compared to the one we experienced in the early 1900’s in which they had soup lines. We are going to be fine. We are the hippest country in the world. All the cool things come from America. Never lose hope in this country. jo koy

My mom and I in Las Vegas

My mom has always been a major part of my life and will always be. Here we are in Las Vegas in front of the marquee at the South Point Casino. I've performed in venues all around the world, but this time in Vegas was special because I got to perform "at home". With all my friends and family from the place I grew up in.

Another reason why our country is the greatest – America is the land of opportunity. Literally, you don’t even need have to speak English and you can be a millionaire because "it" can provide it for you. I don’t have a college degree, but it doesn’t matter. I have a God given talent and I am making a great living. Don’t get me wrong, I am not discouraging people to go to college. I want my son to go to college, but if he does not want to, I will not sit down and cry about it. I know he will make it because I made it. jo koy

Hanging out with John Magic in Las Vegas

I had a blast in Las Vegas. Sold out three shows at the South Point Casino. It was awesome to come back to the place I call home - the place where I learned so much about show business and myself.

I went to Seafood City and my Mom's radio show in Las Vegas. She's a hard working woman and I love her. This is all the footage by my friend and DJ - John Magic from Fresno, CA.

Success and Money

Success has nothing to do with money or anything like that. Even if you take those away, I’ll still be successful. Success for me is if you have a goal in your life and you do it, then you are successful. Money is not the stamp of approval.

It’s so funny because I used to sit on the shower before I became a comic and had this radio that I would always play and pretend I was winning the Apollo as a comedian. Now here I am and I won it. For me, even though there was no money in winning the Apollo, it’s still success. I successfully achieved a goal that was my lifelong dream. Every time I told myself I want to be on something, I always ended up getting it. Set a goal and go for it and never look back. If you are going to do it, just do it.

I always challenge myself. The last couple of shows, I have been doing more than hour sets. I literally had to cut off my feature or guest comic because I need time to write and perform new jokes. I know when my Comedy Central hour special hits on Jan. 4, I need new jokes for my shows. jo koy

New York: Brooklyn and Chinese Food

We went straight from Australia to the Philippines and then I just had a day or two to rest before flying to New York to film my hour special for Comedy Central.

Upon arrival I went straight to Brooklyn to film the opening for my special

Dakota Pictures and Troy Miller did a great job of putting everything together.

After shooting for a few hours in the cold rain and air, all I wanted was some decent Chinese food: hot soup, nice fried rice and typical dishes. My wife was back at our hotel and not feeling well, so I was determined to get her something good.

We went to Chinatown and had the hardest time finding something "not too authentic". Our limo driver almost grew impatient but found it funny to see what a hard time we were having. Each place had the oddest dishes (in the eyes of a typical American). Finally, we found something good (after an hour of searching).

Philippines: part four

After eating a wonderful meal at Cafe ___________ in Pasig City, we headed over to meet with a friend of my friends in Marikina - Ara Mina. She owns her own coffee shop - Cafe Mina and also happens to be major actress on Filipino TV and movies. She was so nice and hospitable. Her cafe had the best vanilla latte I could find in the Philippines. I wondered why!?

After hanging out with Ara, we went to Embassy to experience the night life in Manila.

Philippines 2008: part three - Cafe Juanita

I was so busy doing promo visits in Manila and the only free time I had was to eat. Thankfully and I had a group of friends who knew the best places to eat in Makati and Quezon City. One place they were continuously raving about was Cafe Juanita in Pasig City. When we got the chance, we headed over there (it's hard to find) and the rest is history.

It's so good I almost don't want to let other people know about it because I'm afraid it might get overexposed and commercialized - it's a jewel in Pasig City.

Philippines 2008: part one

Visiting the Philippines was so awesome! Some of my fondest memories from my childhood were from there. It was cool coming back home and reminisce on the things I did during my childhood. I got to enjoy some of the "night life" and lots of great food.

“I’m Not Here to Prove Myself to Anyone” – Kanika Kapoor

While many believe that item numbers are her forte, singer Kanika Kapoor tells us that she can deliver a serious track with as much finesse

For Kanika Kapoor, one of the biggest highs of her life was at an awards show last year, when a senior member of the music industry walked up to her and complimented her on her singing. “He introduced himself to me and asked me if I’m the same Kanika Kapoor who sang Chhil Gaye Naina. When I said yes, he held my hand and said ‘well done’. I guess he didn’t expect that from me after Baby Doll and Chittiyaan Kalaiyaan,” she recalls.

It’s not just this veteran from the music industry (who she chose not to name), but many who didn’t expect such a soulful number from the London-based singer, who stormed her way into Bollywood playback with Sunny Leone’s racy dance track. Fun, peppy numbers such as Chittiyaan Kalaiyaan (Roy), Lovely and Kamlee (from Happy New Year) and Desi Look (Ek Paheli Leela) followed and it was easy to box the singer in the ‘item number singer’ slot.

But with Chhil Gaye Naina, Kanika proved that she could do a great job of singing a soulful track as well. “Even when I sang the lines ‘Yeh duniya pittal di’ in Baby Doll, the soul that I sang it with was very Sufi. I want people to know that I can also sing serious songs and not just item numbers,” she says firmly.

Kanika, however, is candid enough to admit that she has heard all kinds of rumours about herself. “I’ve heard that I’m an auto tune singer and that I can sing only one kind of songs. Honestly, it doesn’t matter to me. I’m a singer and I do the best I can. I love Sufi music. People haven’t heard my classical side, but they will soon. The point is, I’m not here to prove myself to anyone. I sing for myself and for the people who love my music and I will carry on doing that,” she adds.

The songstress is excited about some of her upcoming Bollywood numbers, including a Sufi number for the movie Do Lafzon Ki Kahani. “Then, there is a dance track for Sunny Leone in Beimaan Love and songs for Udta Punjab and XXX,” she informs. On the independent music front too, Kanika’s got some great stuff lined up, but is hesitant about sharing details. “There is a Sufi track there too. I’m collaborating with a number of musicians for other singles. Internationally, there is a collaboration with songwriter and DJ Naughty Boy,” she says. And while Kanika’s musical career is on an upswing, the singer, who didn’t have much luck in her previous marriage, says she wouldn’t mind giving love another chance. “The man I would like to spend the rest of my life with should be fun, honest and have the ability to make me laugh. The simpler, the better,” she says with a smile.

SPX Cycles 3/17/08

I’ve updated the 65 minute SPX chart because the short term cycles have been punching in like clockwork over the last few CIT’s. With the market internals strongly oversold, including the MCO and its 10% Index component which are at relatively negative extremes we can start looking for a turn in the markets. Hint: this may be it, right here.

So I took a look at the current cycles and the 56 bar, (9.38 TD’s) indicates the market should turn tomorrow sometime in the first hour. Considering, the oversold condition, it is almost safe to assume this will be a low.

Moreover, I have also marked two instances of the 59 bar cycle. Actually, these darker instances are only mid point markers which served to pick the high between the actual cycle measures (the wider and lighter lines) Normally I wouldn’t bother explaining these, but the last two occurrences have been lows rather than highs. When cycle timing points reverse, or invert as we say, it is often an indication of a change in the prevailing trend.

MCO update 3/17/08

Not much to say, the markets are oversold but in panic mode. The MCO suggests we could have a large bounce starting sometime in the next couple of days. The 10% Index is blown out on the downside, so whatever rally we see coming up should be followed by another retest of the lows. Until we get a sucessful retest, one where the 10% index stays above the -500 level then the trend remains bearish.

As for a bounce, the next cycle CIT is between 9:30 and 10:30 tomorrow Tuesday.

Bear Goes Bust

Fed cuts by 1/4 point, world markets crash anyway, whoop de do, peoples is so predictible.

Ben Bernanke, is the right man, in the right job, at the right time, and makes the right move.

It is maybe the only move that can set the ship straight. There are those who will say, the Fed should stay out of this, let Bear go under, it sets a bad precedent, whatever. What these columnists fail to see is that Bear Sterns is only symbolic. That what we have to fear is fear itself. To do nothing, at this stage of events, would likely result in a world wide financial collapse.

From what I have been able to read, Morgan Stanley will buy out Bear Sterns for 0.05473 JPM share per share of BSC, Yes, the shareholders of BSC are getting screwed to which they have my sympathy, but my hunch is that despite the rhetoric, there will not be much recourse This is less about Bear Sterns and more about a symbolic management of the capital outflows on all the other fronts. As I write this the Asian markets are down close to 5% and the DJIA futures contract is down about 500 points in overnight trading.

The hedge funds are in a full panic mode and the mystical PPT is going to work. This is a buying opportunity in the making, Monday may be a bit black and blue, but somewhere along the line here, the worst of the news will be factored into the market and prices will stabilize. Until then, be cautious.

Stuff the Fed said:

Press Release
Release Date: March 16, 2008

The Federal Reserve on Sunday announced two initiatives designed to bolster market liquidity and promote orderly market functioning. Liquid, well-functioning markets are essential for the promotion of economic growth.

First, the Federal Reserve Board voted unanimously to authorize the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to create a lending facility to improve the ability of primary dealers to provide financing to participants in securitization markets. This facility will be available for business on Monday, March 17. It will be in place for at least six months and may be extended as conditions warrant. Credit extended to primary dealers under this facility may be collateralized by a broad range of investment-grade debt securities. The interest rate charged on such credit will be the same as the primary credit rate, or discount rate, at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

Second, the Federal Reserve Board unanimously approved a request by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to decrease the primary credit rate from 3-1/2 percent to 3-1/4 percent, effective immediately. This step lowers the spread of the primary credit rate over the Federal Open Market Committee’s target federal funds rate to 1/4 percentage point. The Board also approved an increase in the maximum maturity of primary credit loans to 90 days from 30 days.

The Board also approved the financing arrangement announced by JPMorgan Chase & Co. and The Bear Stearns Companies Inc.

Press Release
Federal Reserve Announces Establishment of Primary Dealer Credit Facility
March 16, 2008

The Federal Reserve has announced that the Federal Reserve Bank of New York has been granted the authority to establish a Primary Dealer Credit Facility (PDCF). This facility is intended to improve the ability of primary dealers to provide financing to participants in securitization markets and promote the orderly functioning of financial markets more generally.

The PDCF will provide overnight funding to primary dealers in exchange for a specified range of collateral, including all collateral eligible for tri-party repurchase agreements arranged by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, as well as all investment-grade corporate securities, municipal securities, mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities for which a price is available.

The PDCF will remain in operation for a minimum period of six months and may be extended as conditions warrant to foster the functioning of financial markets.

If we get out of this in one piece Ben is going to look like a hero.

The Panic of 2008

Panic: A sudden widespread fear concerning financial affairs leading to credit contraction and widespread sale of securities at depressed prices in an effort to acquire cash.

What we are seeing in the financial markets is historic, the bankers have fucked up big time and the devil is demanding his pound of flesh. What we have is a full fledged Banking Panic where the supposed "professionals" are acting irrationally as they run for the exits.

The key word here is irrational. In my opinion, the Fed made the right move by making credit available to institutions like Morgan this week. I think a lot of people are caught up in the rhetoric of what is occurring, as if the entire system is going to collapse. This is nonsense but the danger exists that in a panic to escape something they don’t understand, and that may in fact be less severe that what is perceived, professionals are acting irrationally and running for the doors. Bail first and ask questions later. This type of behavior is what causes long tailed spikes in the stock market and something similar is happening in the banking industry right now. By the time this is over, I think it will be realized that the doubted collateral did in fact have value, maybe a little less than face value, but a lot more than is being currently ascribed to it.

But, I don’t trade bonds, so what does this mean for the stock market? One has to question how much of the downward pressure in the stock indices is a result of liquefying collateral assets, and how much is a result of the slowing economic conditions.

I believe that since the majority of the negative economic news is coming from the financial sector one has to at least consider the possibility of a wipe-out on the downside. The markets are behaving irrationally at the present moment, this means that within the monolithic block of equities we call the market, there are stellar opportunities to find value.

Taking stock. Again the keyword here is "irrational." The players in the markets are being over emotional, traders are nervous, and the price movements are highly volatile.

The Risk:

The first point I would make is that one should never discount how irrational the markets can be in a panic situation. Concepts like "value" get thrown to the wind as panic investors turn equities into cash. Just because something "looks cheap" doesn’t mean it can’t get cheaper. If the markets break sharply to the downside in the next few days, it is entirely possible for them to decline another 15% from present levels.

The Possibilities:

Market internals, the technicals, are in the general ranges found at bottoms and we can use them to evaluate where we are in this train wreck.

1. The McClellan Oscillator is forming a zigzag bottoming pattern. This could be over in a day, or in a week, so it bears watching. Additionally, the 10% Index is indicating that whatever bottoming process begins here will be re-tested within the next ten weeks or so.

2. If the markets continue falling next week, then the McClellan Summation index will fall below –1000, While this is in the zone where bottoms form, it also is accompanied by accelerated declines in equity prices.

3. The AAII sentiment numbers indicate 60% of the advisors are bearish, this is the type of reading which is necessary for capitulation on the downside in order to start a new bull run. Again, this could persist for a bit longer but taken as one of the best contrary indicators, investor sentiment is Bullish.

4. The other technical indicators, New Highs vs. New Lows are not confirming the decline. This is bullish.

5. The price indicators, MACD’s etc on the major indexes are within 3-4 days of turning up. The price turn happens before the indicator’s change direction, so this is moderately supportive.

6. Aside from the problems in the Housing and Financial sectors, the fundamentals are only moderately negative. There is evidence that the economy is slowing but according to the UCLA economists it will not enter a recession. Corporate balance sheets are reasonably strong and relatively speaking, stock prices are cheap, so there is justification for thinking the market is going to go higher for a couple of years. It will take another six months to get people interested in stocks again, I suspect in the period between now and the election, we will have choppy, essentially trendless, action and the real rally won’t start until after the election once the banking mess is cleared up.

What I’m Watching For:

1. Some evidence that the market is turning higher. I expect that the upcoming earnings reports from the financial sector will continue to be negative. IF, the stocks rally on this bad news it is bullish, anything else is a non event.

2. In any decline a $TRIN reading over about 4 would be a reversal warning. The TRIN compares up-down stocks to up-down volume, one is a neutral reading and increasing positive numbers indicate increasing fear (selling pressure)

3. I’ll watch the VIX (Volatility Index) whatever it does, except for going to 10, is a buy signal here, fear is rampant. At the moment, volatility is very high, this works both ways and eventually dampens down. It is the reason the VIX is high, the VIX is telling us how big each stick is. When the market is trending in an orderly manner (up or down) the VIX will be lower, and the daily sticks will be shorter. At points of volatility, blowoffs either up or down, the daily sticks will be long like they are now, and the VIX will be higher.

4. An up day with Up Volume 10x Down Volume. As I noted in an earlier post, we have had several down days with lopsided Down to Up Volume ratios and what we need to see to confirm any upward trend is two 10 to 1 Up Volume days within sighting distance of one another.

5. Stocks which do not break their previous lows on any upcoming decline. Now is not the time to be a hero and pick the "exact" bottom, leave it for someone else and buy a lottery ticket. Since the bottoming process will take a few months, stocks which take out their prior lows are not finished scaring people yet, buy something else.

Watch for a cycle low Tuesday 3/18 in the first hour of trading.

HUI weekly cycles

A lot of market research and inquiry is generally an attempt to predict the future based upon what happened in the past. I decided to go back and have a look at one of my old HUI charts to see what has occurred since my original markups. My charting software allows me to save the drawing instructions, and I had a file I last saved on January 27, 2004 which seemed like ages ago. So here's the chart, I extended a few of the trendlines and increased the scale to accomodate the rise in the HUI, other than that, it's the way I drew it in 2004 with the new data added. It was an interesting exercise.

PS, the trend is up and should remain so for the next ten years.

MCO Update

Well shucks, Monday's little fiasco blew out the 10% Index again. When the 10% Index, the 10% exponential average of the advances - declines, goes below -500 it is an indication of extreme selling pressure. Even though one can expect the popular averages (ain't so popular today, huh?) to bounce, in order to relieve the temporary excesses, it is usually followed by a retest of the price lows at a later date. How much later, you ask? Varies, like everything else the market does, but usually if it happens within a few days it doesn't really satisfy the requirement. If you look at the incidences on the marked up chart, you will see they have been separated by anywhere from two to five months. This seems to be about the normal expected span. While, two to five months can seem like a lifetime if you are a trader, over the short term acting like there will be a bounce is generally a profitable strategy.

So, with this pesky little witch doing triple backflips in the next week, I'd be looking for a bit of volatility. About now, the general public including, the less than slick hedgefund masters, are probably changing their underwear for the third time in as many daze. Since the market seems like a machine for making most of the people wrong most of the time, I would almost bet, if I was a betting man, that the boyz will take the put buyers to the cleaners by expiration. On the Monday or Tuesday after expiration we might look for another market plunge, so the boyz can effectively market the next batch of puts.

So after that bit of volatility, it will be time for a springboard rally. Hop on the solar stocks, summer's coming.

More later: So it's later and I've added the daily chart for the SPX cycles below. The 10% component of the MCO blew out the -500 level yeaterday which indicated the market averages will retest yeaterdays lows at a later date. On the dialy chart, I've marked the April and May cycle CIT's which seem like a likely spot for this to occur.

Up Down Volume

I downloaded the Advancing and Decling volumes and had a look relative to the comment in my previous post. The chart is more or less self-explanatory. I calculated the ratio the down volume was relative to the total volume DNVOL.ny/TVOL.ny. On the chart I filtered the results, the red plot is DN/TOT > 90% and the green plot is DN/TOT > 80%. It looked to me like there are some errors in the dataset about mid chart, but since I was more interested in the current timeframe, I let them be.

In any case, it looks to me, based on a very limited dataset, that there are more extreme volume ratio days now than there were in the past. It may be that the advent of both Ultra (or 2x) Index ETF's and Short Index ETF's (inc 2x) is increasing volatility and that results from past volume studies may be deceptive. This is about as far as I'm going with it, I'll leave it to someone else with a bigger and more reliable dataset.

Don't Jump the Gun

In my opinion this is a very dangerous market. It is oversold enough to have a good bounce but sentiment is so poor it could just as well crash. Yes AAII investor sentiment numbers are at the lowest point since 1990, but this can persist for a couple of weeks and the DJIA could happily trim off another thousand points in the blink of an eye. The unemployment numbers Friday didn't help general sentiment on main street, which is exhibiting a growing fear over future economic conditions, I cannot discount the fact that this anxiety may push the indexes lower.

The cycles look like they are working fairly well once I readjusted the earlier 55 bar to 56 bars. The one marked 59 is actually 58.6 bars or roughly 9.77 trading days. The SPX eeked out a minor bottom and turned higher late in the afternoon more or less on schedule. Next up is the 66 bar cycle, 11 trading days, which is due late Monday. I've marked out a potential symmetry which aligns the last high and reaction low with the upcoming projection. Unless something positive happens in the banking industry over the weekend, not likely in my opinion, the markets should trade lower on Monday, for at least part of the day.

On Friday, the SPX closed below the lower 20 day Bollinger band, this is not good. This kind of an event has a couple of possible outcomes. The first is an outright crash, 1987 is the famous example. The second, and more likely outcome, is that the market snaps back above the Bollinger band like it did in January and then retests the low a few days later. Regardless, it indicates that Fridays low will be tested again which means there is no big rush to jump in the water while the sharks are still circling.

Click to enlarge

The McClellan Oscillator is finally becoming oversold enough for an intermediate term bottom. However, it is also indicating a very weak market, with the 10% Index crashing below the -500 threshold during Fridays trading session. Only the positive action from late afternoon rally managed to keep it above the -500 zone. On the plus side, so far we still are seeing postive divergences in the MCO behavior. Like I said there is no rush, but we are starting to see the kind of setup we want to see for a decent intermediate term rally. Just because it looks like it today does not mean it will happen, we will have to wait and see.

We have also had two days where the down volume to up volume ratio was over 10 to 1. There is statistical evidence that this is a bullish event, indicating a washout of selling activity. I would also note that in the recent past I recall several 10 to 1 down days which were cut short by traders jumping the gun, antcipating a rally, this didn't occur last week, indicating to me that the players are cautious if not outright scared.

$1000 GOLD - Just Around the Corner?

There's been a lot of recent press about $1000 gold being just around the corner, the hitch is that corner, might wack your shin. I've put up the GLD chart, which is how most people are playing the metal, marked up with some of the relevant time cycles and a couple of trendlines.

The trendlines are color coded pairs. Each pair, consists of a primary trendline, and a secondary trendline at 1/2x or 2x the slope of the primary line (they're marked 2.00 and 0.50, the primary line is unmarked)

Click to Enlarge

Of interest, the yellow trendline drawn between the Aug-07 low and the Nov-07 high, when GLD corrected it dropped down and tagged the 1/2 slope yellow trendline. It is likely that a correction from the current (or upcoming) high might follow the same pattern (the green pair of lines) At the moment it looks like GLD could push a bit higher, and I'll have to redraw the green set.

Also suggesting that we might be approaching a temporary high, are the normal chart indicators, the Stochastic, MACD and RSI are all more or less confirming the recent rally with no glaring divergences. However they do look like they are ready to turn down indiating at least a short term hiccup. The two volume based indicators (bottom two) are weaker, the Volume RSI is starting to fade as is the Money fFlow.

The 101 day cycle (yellow) is a major interval over the data set I have, hits in mid May.
The 50.5 day (blue) is midpoint of the 101 cycle, typically it woulod be considered more bullish if the trading high comes to the right of the midpoint. This CIT point is today (Wed 3/5) and could be a reversal of the little correction so far or nothing significant at all. I'm viewing it more as a location than a timing spot.
The 147 day cycle (red) has been important in its past incarnations and is due to hit mid month.
The 29 day cycles (orange) are the short term trading swings and tend to vary a bit between 27 and 34 days.

Given the current excitement about GOLD, I have a hunch the mid-March cycle point may be worth paying close attention to. If GOLD (and GLD) continues to press higher towards $1000 then I would expect the mid-March point to be the start of a sharp correction (15% to 20%). On the other hand, if the current weakness accelerates, then mid-March could be a low point. In either case it is probably a bit late in the game to be initiating new positions unless one is very disciplined about money management, use stops please.

Longer term I remain bullish on the precious metals with the same wild guess target I've had since the lows, $2500 gold is coming, I just don't know when.

SPX Cycles 3/4/08

Finessed the white 55 bar cycle in the previous chart, extending it a bit to 56.25 bars which is a better fit going backwards and as it turned out for todays low.

Today's MCO is still only mildly oversold at -136.5 but we could get a bounce higher possibly tomorrow. However, unless is starts from a hard early morning selloff I would suspect the rally will fail with a potential panic decline into 3/7 or 3/10 (yellow and green) CIT dates.

Dancin' with the Devil

Well, I guess push is coming to shove. The players are starting to get a bit panicky, the NYSE upside-downside volume on Friday was seriously lopsided on the downside. I guess inquiring minds want to know, "Is it a bottom yet?" Well, in my opinion, not quite.

The SPX tried to rally, but was soundly rejected at the 50 day moving average and the upper 20 day Bollinger Band. Feeling slighted, prices are running hard in the other direction. If the SPX penetrates the lower Bollinger Band (1300-1316) then a retest of the January low, at a minimum, very likely.

Looking at the McClellan Oscillator we can see that it is starting to get oversold again at –118. Given the current market climate, I question whether or not, this is oversold enough to launch a reliable turn higher. I seriously doubt it. Further, I would like to see the 10% Index of the MCO penetrate the +500 level on any future rally before I would have much confidence that a trend change is in place.

On a positive note, at least so far, the 10% Index is currently at -182 and even if we have a nasty day on Monday, it will stay above -500. It would also get the MCO oversold enough for a rubber-band bounce to the upside. It would be preferable to see a continuation of the sell off on Monday rather than a weak bounce which would only confirm the bearish trend.

So while Friday looked a bit like the start of a selling climax, I think the SPX has farther to run on the downside. There is a reasonable chance we bounce higher Monday or Tuesday But somehow I think this will only be temporary.

Dancin' with the Devil? Picking bottoms in a bear market.

My hat goes off to Seunghyun Jo for creating such a beautiful piece and to Scoot for being a trooper. Cheers to the both of y'all.

Our First Year: Highlights From 2015

How is 2015 completely over with already? Didn’t it just begin? I have no idea where the time goes, but as we approach Gab Communications’ first birthday at the end of this month, let’s take a look back at some highlights from the past 12 months.

unnamedWhen Kansas City-based children’s organic skincare company Comfrey & Clementines came on as one of my initial clients, owner Angela McGuire and I immediately bonded over our children’s skincare woes. At the time, my 18-month-old had been dealing with terrible eczema and skin allergies. Then, just like magic, Angela reached out to me about an all-natural product line she was creating for babies suffering from eczema and skin and food allergies.

Twitter Cover Photo1This was a fun project to work on for a number of reasons. One was that, as a mom, how can you not love Comfrey & Clementines’ business philosophy? Not only are their products organic, all-natural, and heavenly scented, but the concept behind them is one we can all relate to. Their story is our story. They want what’s best for their kids

Secondly, Comfrey & Clementines wanted to create a bright, bold product design that came off as cheerful, impressive and luxurious. It was our pleasure to take a few of Angela’s initial label concepts and transform them into one champion design. Today, you can find our designs for these skincare products on several children’s and all-natural food store shelves throughout the Kansas City area, as well as on Comfrey & Clementines’ website.

WINE ON THE WATER at KURTZ’S BEACHWOTW-Poster01From the very first time I attended Howard County’s Wine In The Woods, I always had the idea in my head of bringing a similar wine festival to Anne Arundel County – specifically alongside the Chesapeake Bay. A fun, whimsical idea was all it ever was, until I met with John Mason, the owner of Kurtz’s Beach, last spring. He was very enthusiastic about the idea, and pretty soon after we were meeting weekly to put the wheels in motion for the inaugural Wine On The Water at Kurtz’s Beach.

It was an absolutely ginormous undertaking, but with a lot of help we were able to bring this idea to fruition. Wine On The Water took place October 17-18, 2015, at Kurtz’s Beach and attracted over 5,000 attendees from all over Maryland, Virginia and D.C. We learned so much from putting on this event, and we can’t wait to organize an even better festival this upcoming fall.

Final copy of Windows 8 leaks online

Final copy of Windows 8 leaks online: Windows 8 RTM

The final build of Windows 8 has leaked to the internet, just a day after Microsoft confirmed it had finished the development cycle for the new operating system. Although MSDN and TechNet customers won't officially receive access to the final Windows 8 bits until August 15th, an Enterprise version of Windows 8 is available widely across various file sharing sites.
The version leaked is an "N" edition of Windows 8 which does not include a bundled copy of Windows Media Player. Microsoft was forced to create the special N editions of Windows after the European Commission ruled in 2004 that it needed to provide a copy of Windows without Windows Media Player tied in. We reached out to Microsoft to comment and the company says it's not...

I am happy to recommend GardenersEarlsCourt to anyone who needs high quality gardeners at a low price. Best service I've tried so far.

  • D. Richardson

For years, I kept up a large garden at my house and loved gardening as a hobby. One summer I threw my back out at work and I was not mobile for a while. I didn't want my garden to just die so I decided to bring in the professionals. Garden Clearance Earls Court have been my gardeners ever since. The garden is looking nice and they were easy on my checkbook.

  • Ron M.

I hired Garden Care Services Earls Court for some landscaping help. They did a really good job, at very reasonable prices. Will be using them again.

  • Marvin G.

Wind damaged my property a bit, so I needed it cleared and made tidy again. I rang up Gardeners Earls Court. They offered reasonable prices so I decided to use them. Excellent gardening services, so will use again.

  • Susan Parsons

Supposedly, a gardening company is meant to specialize in garden care; not all companies take this approach, but thankfully Garden Clearance Earls Court does. I can call them for pretty much any garden-related task and they'll sort it out in a jiffy without any problems. They're a local, friendly and cost-effective company you'll definitely be able to count on!

  • Lisa O.

We didn't have all of the necessary equipment to do our own patio cleaning and when we looked at the costs of hiring tools compared to the costs of hiring Garden Clearance Earls Court, it was a no-brainer! The team took care of everything for us and now our patio is glimmering in the sun! Thank you!

  • Mary A.

Gardeners Earls Court successfully transformed my garden the other week and took care of a range of different jobs which included bush cutting, lawn mowing, planting and reorganising my flower bed. They were meticulous in their approach, had a keen eye for detail and completed everything quickly and more importantly, to a high standard. I was delighted with the outcome.

  • Harrison Drury

My garden looked a right mess and I was eager to fix this. I wanted my garden to look good and I knew I couldn't achieve this alone. I called up Gardeners Earls Court and hired them to do things for me. They said they could easily get the job done and they did. They handled the turfing work to add a new lawn to my garden. They worked carefully but got the job done in no time. My garden looks completely different and I'm much happier for it. These are the only people to call when you want some turfing or lawn restoration done.

  • Daphne Kirby

The school property upkeep is a very important task, and so is the huge garden. Garden Designers Earls Court has been responsible for garden spaying and landscaping. The team of skilled workers has added a lot of value to our existing lawn. Children's safety is a priority for any work carried out in and around the school, they understand this well and take necessary precautions. We thank them for their service to the school and the community.

  • Daniel York

Garden Care Services Earls Court and their team of gardeners did a superb job, trimming my hedges, mowing the lawn and cleaning my patio up in preparation for the summer months. Their services are a lot cheaper than the other companies I've used in the past, but they certainly didn't compromise on the quality of service. I look forward to booking with them again in the future!

  • Stephen

After a long week's work it's hard to find the energy to sort out your garden. Mine had become completely beyond my control and so I called the gardening experts in to help me. GardenersEarlsCourt are known all over the local area particularly for their great prices. I wasn't disappointed at all and now hire them every week for lawn mowing and hedge trimming and pruning.

  • Johnny G.

I was heading off on a long awaited holiday and wondered who would take care of my garden in my absence. I love gardening and have taken care of my front and back garden for years. This was the first time I was going away on a month long holiday and so I looked around to see if any friends would take care of my garden. It seemed as if all my pals suddenly disappeared into thin air, they all made excuses of either being away on weekends or being too busy with their work. That was when I approached GardenersEarlsCourt to seek help with lawn maintenance. I am so glad I hired them, when I returned from my trip my garden looked more beautiful and well kept than it was under my care! It was definitely worth every penny I paid the gardening professionals.

Snack for Santa Wall Hanging.......

I made this little wall hanging for my grandsons to put up when Santa is visiting on Christmas Eve.. I hope Santa enjoyed his snack.  It wasn't a big project and I  embroidered  the message " Enjoy your Snack, Santa" onto black fabric and the stitched it onto the background fabric and covered a small canvas using staples to hold it altogether at the back,  added some decoration and boys loved it.  I hope Santa does too.

  1. That is precious! It is certainly something that will come out every year, and then be used for the next generation. What a wonderful tradition!

Thank you for taking the time to visit my Blog. I just love hearing from you.

Asian Small Businesses: Region and Employment Size in 2011

This is Part 2 of a two-part article on Asian-owned small businesses in America. Part 1 examined the industry distribution and annual sales of Asian businesses in 2011. This part discusses the regional location of Asian businesses and examines their employment and years of operation.

The information was generated by the Gazelle Index, which was created to close the information gap on minority-owned businesses. The Gazelle Index is the first ever national quarterly survey of the outlook and hiring plans of minority, women and non-minority small-business owners.

The responses of business owners were broken down by blacks, Latinos, women and non-minorities. Future surveys include Asian Americans.

This examination is based on Asian small businesses with 10 to 100 employees. It is taken from a random sample of 277 companies.

The Census Bureau’s survey of minority-owned businesses indicated that between 1982 — 2007, the number of Asian-owned businesses increased by 545%, from 241,806 to 1.6 million.

The industry having the highest concentration of Asian businesses was food, entertainment and hospitality services, which contained of 27.4% of all Asian businesses. This was followed by wholesale trades, 13.4%; manufacturing, 11.9%; retail trades 8.7%; finance, insurance and real estate, 5.4%; professional and technical services, 5.1%; the and information services 5.1%; business services, 5.1%.

The average revenue of Asian-owned businesses was $3.6 million in 2011. Retail trades had the largest annual revenue, $11.6 million; followed by wholesale trades, $8.4 million; finance, insurance and real estate, $5.1 million; and manufacturing, $4.1 million.  The industry with the lowest annual revenue was food, entertainment and hospitality services, $622,159.

Profile by Region, Employment and Years of Operation

The largest number of Asian owned businesses is located in the West. That region accounted for 46.5% of Asian enterprises. Their average revenue was $3.6 million in 2011. The second-largest regional location is the Northeast, where 25.1% of businesses are headquartered. However, businesses in the Northeast had the highest annual revenue, $4.7 million.

The third largest region in terms of the number of Asian owned businesses is the South, where 18.1% is located and where the average revenue is $2.8 million. The Midwest had the smallest number of Asian owned businesses (10.3%) and those businesses earned the lowest revenue, $1.7 million annually.

The average employment in Asian businesses was 25 workers. Keep in mind that our sample included businesses with 10 to 100 employees. Generally, there was not a wide variation in the average employment across industries.

Businesses in transportation and related travel services had the largest number of employees 39. In descending order of employment size, other industries were as follows: business services, 36; wholesale trades, 36; information services, 29; agriculture and landscape services, 27; manufacturing, 27; finance, insurance and real estate, 27; and health, education and social services, 26.

The industry with businesses that had the smallest level of employment was professional and technical services, 18; food, entertainment and hospitality, 17; and personal and repair services, 15.

The industry within which businesses have operated the longest was agriculture and landscape services. In that industry, the average businesses started in 1982. The startup year for business is in construction services and in health, education and social services was 1989. Overall, the average Asian business and began operating in 1991.

Solidarity Labor Quotes

Solidarity Labor Quotes!

“Your silence will not protect you” Audre Lorde

You can only protect your liberties in this world by protecting the other man’s freedom. You can only be free if I am free. Clarence Darrow

We must indeed all hang together, or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately. Benjamin Franklin, July 4, 1776 Remark to John Hancock at the signing of the Declaration of Independence

When I rise it will be with the ranks and not from the ranks. Eugene V. Debs

We must learn to live together as brothers or we are going to perish together as fools. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Years ago I recognized my kinship with all living things, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on the earth. I said then and I say now, that while there is a lower class. I am in it; while there is a criminal element, I am of it; while there is a soul in prison, I am not free. Eugene V. Debs, Founder of the American Railway Union

In Unity there is strength

We can move mountains when we’re united and enjoy life --Without unity we are victims. Stay united. Bill Bailey, 1994

An injury to one is the concern of all! Knights of Labor slogan

If nobody quits until I do, there will be no quitting! UMWA organizer John R. Lawson, in 1915 after being sentenced to life imprisonment for murder in a frame-up trial

My friends, it is solidarity of labor we want. We do not want to find fault with each other, but to solidify our forces and say to each other: “We must be together; our masters are joined together and we must do the same thing.” Mother Jones, 1902 Speaking before the convention of the UMWA, Indianapolis, IN

Then join in hand brave Americans all, By uniting we stand, by dividing we fall. John Dickinson From The Liberty Song

is a great mistake for any class of laborers to isolate itself and thus weaken the bond of brotherhood between those on whom the burdens and hardship of labor (fall). The fortunate ones of the Earth, who are abundant in land and money and know nothing of the anxious care and pinching poverty of the laboring classes, may be indifferent to the appeal to justice at this point, but the laboring classes cannot afford to be indifferent. What labor everywhere wants, what it ought to have, and will someday demand and receive, is an honest day’s pay for an honest day’s work. As the laborer becomes more intelligent he will develop what capital he already possesses --that is the power to organize and combine for its own protection. Frederick Douglass

An injury to one is the concern of all. Slogan of The Knights of Labor, circa 1880’s

Solidarity is not a matter of sentiment but a fact, cold and impassive as the granite foundations of a skyscraper. If the basic elements, identity of interest, clarity of vision, honesty of intent, and oneness of purpose, or any of these is lacking, all sentimental please for solidarity, and all other efforts to achieve it will be barren of results. Eugene V. Debs

The boss don’t listen when one guy squawks! But he’s gotta listen when the union talks. An old song

Universal economic evils
afflicting the working class can be eradicated only by a universal working-class movement. Such a movement of the working class is impossible while separate craft and wage agreements are made favoring the employer against other crafts in the same industry, and while energies are wasted in fruitless jurisdictional struggles which serve only to further the personal aggrandizement of union officials. From the 1905 Call to the Founding convention of the Industrial Workers of/he World.

You can only protect your liberties in this world by protecting the other man’s freedom. You can only be free if I am free. Clarence Darrow

El pueblo unido jamas sera vencido.
The people united will never be defeated

A single bracelet does not jingle Congo proverb

United jaws crush the bone Kigezi proverb, southwest Uganda

Cross the river in a crowd and the crocodile won’t eat you. proverb from Madagascar

The workers have nothing to lose in this but their chains. They have the world to gain. Workers of the world unite! Karl Marx

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Martin Luther King, Jr. Letter from a Birmingham Jail

Am I my brother’s keeper’? [That frequently asked question] has never been answered in a way that is satisfactory to civilized society. Yes, I am my brother’s keeper. I am under a moral obligation to him that is inspired, not by maudlin sentimentality, but by the higher duty I owe myself. It is when you have done your work honestly, when you have contributed your share to the common fund that you begin to live. Then, as Whitman said, you can take out your soul; you can commune with yourself; you can take a comrade by the hand and you can look into his soul and in that holy communion you live. And if you don’t know what that is, or if you are not at least on the edge of it, it is denied you even to look into the Promised Land. Eugene V. Debs From a speech given at the founding of the Federal Council of Churches in Girard, Kansas, 1908

The strongest bond of human sympathy, outside of the family relation, should be one of uniting all working people of all nations, tongues and kindreds. From the speeches of Abraham Lincoln

In Germany they came first for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up because lwasn’t a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up. Martin Niemoeller, German Lutheran Pastor (1892-1984)

In spite of petty national lines, in spite of international division lines, the workers of the world over are coming together on the ground of their common working class interest, without regard to race, color, creed or flag, and they are coming together because the earth and all the earth holds, and all its possibilities are theirs. Father Thomas Hagerty, speaking at the Founding Convention of the I.W.W., 1905

Solidarity forever, Solidarity forever, Solidarity forever, For the union makes us strong

When the union’s inspiration through worker’s blood shall run, There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun; Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one, For the union makes us strong.

Is there aught we hold in common with the greedy parasite Who would lash us into serfdom and would crush us with his might? is there anything left to us but to organize and fight? For the union makes us strong

It is we who ploughed the prairies, built the cities where they trade, Dug the mines and built the workshops, endless miles of railroad laid; Now we stand outcast and starving ‘mid the wonders we have made, But the union makes us strong

They have taken untold millions that they never toiled to earn, But without our brain and muscle not a single wheel will turn; We can break their haughty power, gain our freedom when we learn That the union makes us strong

In our hands is placed a power greater than their hoarded gold, Greater than the might of armies magnified a thousandfold; We can bring to birth a new world from the ashes of the old, For the union makes us strong. “Solidarity,” Words by Ralph Chaplin

…And I further promise to help and assist all brothers in adversity, and to have all mine workers join the union, that we may be able to enjoy the fruits of our labor; that I will never knowingly wrong a brother or see him wronged, if I can prevent it. From the Obligation of Fidelity pledge taken by each member upon joining the United Mine Workers of America. Written in or around 1912.

The basic law of capitalism is you or I, not both you and I. Karl Liebknecht, from a speech delivered in 1907

  • This Web page provides the latest updates for the national contract, riders and supplements that cover about 3,500 Teamsters at DHL Express.

  • We Are eXPOsing XPO’s Global Greed

    XPO Logistics is a top ten global logistics and transportation company with annual revenue of $15 billion and 89,000 employees, another 10,000 workers classified as independent contractors, and thousands more working for firms that subcontract with XPO. We are the REAL workers at XPO Logistics worldwide exposing the truth about the company’s global greed, illegal wage theft, unsafe conditions, and abhorrent and vicious anti-worker, anti-union tactics.

    This greed includes mistreating former Con-way Freight workers in the United States who are being kept in the dark about terminal closures and layoffs, and the company’s illegal refusal to bargain contracts and denying their workers’ federally protected right to organize. It also includes port, rail and last-mile drivers around the country and in Southern California fighting wage theft in excess of $200 million because they are misclassified as independent contractors and denied the right to form their union. This greed has caused numerous lawsuits and strikes.  Greed also means an unsafe workplace and mistreating its warehouse employees.

    XPO’s greed extends to Europe beginning with breaking its promise to not layoff any workers for at least 18 months. French workers and the unions have been fighting back against XPO’s disrespect, lies and attempts to slash jobs. Similar struggles are taking place in Great Britain, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, and across Europe.

    Join the worldwide struggle now! Get involved with this campaign by joining the Facebook group “XPO Exposed.”

    Together, we can eXPOse the company’s global greed and win fairness, respect and dignity for tens of thousands of XPO employees around the world!

  • This page provides the latest contract information to the 7,500 Teamsters—drivers, dockworkers and office staff—employed by ABF Freight System, Inc.

  • Workers’ pensions are being endangered by both Congress and those charged with overseeing them. The Teamsters and our members are standing united to say “No!” to cuts and “Yes!” to greater retirement security!

  • The ‘Let’s Get America Working!’ campaign seeks to restore a dynamic and prosperous middle class to drive economic growth by helping to advance policy decisions that create and maintain good middle-income jobs, guarantee retirement security, expand access to the American Dream, and ensure that the benefits of the ongoing economic recovery are felt by the many, not just the few.

  • This webpage provides information on the Teamsters Union’s legislative advocacy at both the federal and state level as well as our field activity to support those policy positions and to get strong labor candidates elected to office.  Among other resources, you will find our federal legislative scorecard, formal statements of policy position and communications to Capitol Hill,  a weekly update on federal legislative happenings, an overview of bills we are tracking at the state level, and quick links to take action on priority issues.

  • This web page provides information on the ongoing effort to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Since 1994, NAFTA has devastated working families, putting corporate profits ahead of people.  What’s worse is that NAFTA has become the blueprint for all other trade agreements, from the way that it was negotiated in secret, to the bad provisions that have made their way into every agreement that has been signed since then.  Now, NAFTA is being renegotiated and we demand that it be reframed to work for workers instead of corporate interests.

  • The Teamsters have stood in solidarity with worker struggles in other countries since our founding. With economic globalization, our ability to organize increasingly depends on our ability to build alliances with workers on a global scale.
    More than ever, Teamsters are organizing and bargaining with multi-national companies. A key objective of our Global Strategies Campaign is to build strong alliances with unions around the globe who organize and bargain with common employers. Our focus is on workers in the emerging global supply chains – the infrastructure of globalization.
    Globalization creates new opportunities for international worker solidarity. We seek common cause with workers around the world to build social justice for all workers and the communities in which they live.

  • The contributions of black members to the success of the Teamsters Union are numerous, varied and as old as the union itself. This month, the Teamsters Union spotlights some of those contributions.
