		<description>Mark Hoffer, I&#039;m not sure where you were going with the Amanita post, but I would stay away from those. They&#039;re like playing Russian Roulette. There are old mushroom pickers and there are bold mushroom pickers. There are no old bold mushroom pickers. I should probably tie this in with the rest of the blog. Please substitute the word &quot;mushroom&quot; with the word &quot;bank stock&quot; and say it to yourself. Bye</description>

		<description>&quot;Payrolls fell by 651,000 and revisions for the prior two months lopped off an additional 161,000 jobs&quot;

I had to leave shortly after Hampton announced the figures.  I&#039;m back twelve hours later so I&#039;ll apologize if I repeat part of someone else&#039;s post but I&#039;m not going to read all 67 of them.  If revisions for the two prior months average another 80K job loss than we can expect at least the same revision to February&#039;s number.  Make that 731,000.  These are BLS numbers which we know are &quot;fixed&quot;.  800K?  No problem.</description>

		<description>@Tom K:  Someone who&#039;s been as wrong as Krauthammer has been over the past 8 years isn&#039;t worthy of listening to anymore.  Period.</description>

		<description>@Mannwich Says:

Try separating the message from the messenger. I haven&#039;t seen anyone on this thread logically or rationally challenge Krauthammer&#039;s assertion. 

And name-calling like &quot;Crownhammer&quot; is so 3rd grade. Tell me why you think he&#039;s wrong. I&#039;m willing to listen.</description>

		<description>@Hoffer:  Agree with you on Apple.  They&#039;re next to get clobbered.

Also thinking health care eventually going to get whacked.  Tempted to grab some RXD but it&#039;s lightly traded right now.  Should have grabbed it at 50 earlier this year.  Now in the low 80&#039;s the last I checked.</description>

		<description>wow, lb, I had to learn about that one..

&quot;Amanita muscaria var. muscaria (Fly Agaric) is perhaps the most fascinating mushroom on this beautiful planet: It has been accused of being everything from  the fruit that Adam &amp; Eve ate in the Garden of Eden, to the true origin of Christmas and his flying reindeer, to the inspiration for countless religious sects including Buddhism, Hinduism, and even Christianity.  The Amanita and its infamous red and white spotted cap has a history unlike any other mushroom, yet has been veiled in mystery for thousands of years.  Could this be the ancient Soma that Gordon Wasson talks about; the Mushroom of Mankind? &quot;
http://www.amanitashop.com/

from the looks of search results, seems that &quot;Fly Agaric&quot; has set fruit to serious businesses..

and, &quot;For hundreds of years mushrooms have excited both the minds and stomachs of millions of people. They have been used for food, medicine, religious ceremonies, and for poisoning enemies. Mushrooms have been an important part of many cultures around the world. In California some Native Americans have made soups out of shredded mushrooms. The Indians collected fresh specimens, dried and then shredded them before storing the fungi for later use. Fresh mushrooms were boiled and added to acorn soup. Occasionally when a person became ill after eating a poisonous mushroom, an antidote was made by boiling dried deer brains in water and drinking the greasy broth. This was the Native American&#039;s way - survival through the use of whatever resources were at hand, including those plants we call mushrooms.

For thousands of other people, winter is an exciting time when &quot;rainy season people&quot; are out searching for nature&#039;s jewels, mushrooms and other fungi. The colors, shapes, smells, and curious habits of mushrooms have provided endless hours of study for devoted fans. From painting, photography and microscopic study, mushrooms have given us a better understanding of our complex environment.

		<description>I wrote here the other day that this looked like a bottom and how some name like AAPL QCOM were holding.
Well that seems to be history now, as high beta takes a huge hit today. I was looking at AAPL AMZN charts and now they look like they head even lower.
QQQQ should also make new lows I think.
Boy this market is really different.</description>
