Nice job by ESPN getting Phil Jackson saying that phrase to his Lakers phrase. Well, Phil, might that have to do w/ the fact it's Game 2 of the regular season? But still, nice effort, bro, nice effort.
Stock market severely down today, wiping out all of Thursday's gains and more. My general stance on the market has been, "buy if you can cuz the bulls are coming out," but this recent detour below the 10,000-line has got me a little worried. Or it might just be the right time to buy at the lowest. As my biz orgs professor says, though, "we all thought we knew how to make money in stocks, so we all pooled our money together and bought some stock, ........and we lost all our money. "
So be careful.
Obviously, this blog is not called fantasy stock market guru, but if it was I'd recommend Costco (COST) = (see previous post about the brilliance of Costco), and RIMM - unlike it's counterpart in the tech market, AAPL, it hasn't bounced back big since March 2009, and honestly it's "got a case of the slows right now." But Blackberry is popular, they've still got some talent and capital there, it's capable of like a $130-or-so stock prie. Buy. Just from a layman perspective, peeps. I have a degree in finance but more experience in fantasy, a "I-don't-understand" card for stock market.
Anyone ever watch "Extreme Ghostbusters" cartoon back in the day? No, not "Ghostbusters," the movie, not even "the Real Ghostbusters" cartoon that preceded it, Extreme Ghostbusters. No? it came on in 1997 and I got a kick out of it as a 4th/5th grader. Quality stuff, right next to Beast Wars and Mummies! Alive. But yea, check it out on youtube, see if it sparks your interest.
Along with the theme of the night, here are fantasy players who are actually good who just "have a case of the slows right now."
LaMarcus Aldridge: haven't watched his games, but apparently he's all about the fadeaway jumpers right now, which is NEVER what you want to hear. Let's hope he fixes that and starts stuffing some defensive stats, too.
"Nasty" Nate Robinson: Still coming off the bench, but so far really struggling, even against Charlotte. He'll keep shooting though, and you should keep starting him.
Shaquille O'neal: I've maintained throughout Shaq's stints in Miami, Phoenix, and now Cleveland that he actually makes those teams worse, and so far it's proving true. I think it'll be the same in Cleveland, the team's gonna try to accommodate him too much, resulting in Shaq getting his stats but the Cavs getting their losses. Remember, Cleveland, Shaq works for YOU, not the other way around.
Jameer Nelson: I'm worried about this guy, and part of the reason I didn't draft him, he's rusty from surgery and doesn't seem as meat-hungry aggressive as last season. Should come around because he's comfortable there, the Maic are good enough to let him gradually make it back.
Last note: For those watching Survivor this season (first off, are the rumors of Season 20 in the spring being the last season ever true?) and also, that guy Russell is exactly how I would have played the game had I been on the show: be a physical presence in challenges, work hard in camp, develop good relationships with your teammates, have secret alliances on the other tribe, find immunity idol just in case. O and lie your ass off to everyone. Brilliant. He's getting a LOT of face-time on the show and justifiably so. I'm guessing he gets to like the top 3 or 4 or something until people finally figure it out, then another male who's an immunity beast sticks around long enough to win, depriving the true player the win. O well, I'll still be watching.
Fantasize on,
Robert Yan
