Target Corporation |
Do you shop at Target? Perhaps I can interest you in Congressional
funding over at Lockheed for their next brainchild. Nobody has any
idea what is going on inside any corporation, just today, Mozilla is
running all over town going "we're not declaring bankruptcy" (shades
of Enron) I tell you what, you tell me which stock is gonna excel
tomorrow, and I'll check back and buy some -who knows? Target is not
going out of business. Here's a little inside info on Reuters, the
great nay-sayers. I used to live 3 blocks from their terminal office
in St. Louis. They hawk whatever is on their agenda. They are the
most super-secretive news agency in the world. I think it's a 5th
branch of government. So when Reuters says anything, I consider them
about as newsworthy as the magazine rack at the checkout stand.
Aliens abducted my poodle.
It may not attract day traders, it may not attract people who invest
in Congressional funding, all I know, is the store is always there,
the parking lot is loaded up, the place is clean (unlike Walmart),
there is nobody hawking a jar full of change at the front door, the
bathroom is always clean, and it's where I buy my small appliances.
People are not being attacked in the back aisles - like the time some
guy tried that in a Target and security was on him - I had a Target
credit card - ran it up, paid it off, now I just use my debit card. I
agree, the credit card was probably a lousey idea.
I have to stay in the market someplace, how about $50 a share, and
volitility doesn't look like a piece of shredded glass. February is
Valentines month. Target is loaded up with valentine goodies,
overlapping St. Patricks day, people are gleaning the discount
clothing instead of shipping it off to China to be sold for .25 a
pound, the clothes fit, the cafe is serving up soup in a bowl, and
their carts don't clog up major intersections, and the parking lot
isn't full of protesters decrying the economics of Target wiping small
towns off the map.
Don't get me wrong here, but I've seen the competition - I love the
competition - just not when I'm not taking Xanex. The only worse
place to spend a few hours of your day is in a store filled up with
off-label imitations you're not sure what's in the ingredients all
selling for the same price. I guess I'm stodgy, but I've actually
talked to customers in Target - we all like it because it's clean.
Who doesn't shop at Target. People living in their cars, people
pretending to be "out of gas". I go there for the oil change
however. They do a good oil change.
It's a toss up right now. No really, you tell us right here what to
buy tomorrow, I'll check back and buy it, and if I make real money on
it, I'll go over to Target and flag down the cart- boy and tell him to
go find a new job.
I made $40,000 in solar - solar is in the dumper for the next month -
got any bright ideas? Honestly. Let's hear 'em. Before the pump and
dump, which is what is going on. At least they aren't pumping
Target. The other guy looks like a fish movie from the 80's. I
suppose I could buy QQQQ and make a buck a share. Hey, how about we
all get together and invest in nuclear energy.
I've got a penny stock for you: BLGA. Buy a million shares and eat
beans out of a can for 5 years.
