Move over Jim Rogers! Congratulations on your 22 month motorcycle odyssey back in the great 1990s. But I think motorcycle guys are pussies, even if they are Hell Zangels or Devils Debilitators or Feminazi Facilitators or whatever. How much talent and effort does it take to twist the throttle 1/4 of an inch and climb to the top of the Karkoram Highway? Try cycling up to 15,600 feet in the Andes under your own power!

==========================

JUST ONE UPDATE/COMMENT:

In case my readers are wondering where I have been/where I am, I am currently on a 6 month bicycle tour thoughout the Sierra, Cascades, and the Rocky Mountains. I'll be back this fall of 2103. Until then I will share little of my ...More precious wisdom with ya'all when I get the chance.

==========================

Seriously though, I am a tried, true, and original Investment Biker. I've already toured in Europe, Asia, North and South America (see my website below) so I have about 200,000 cycling miles under my belt. It's been a while since I've done a long tour so starting this spring of 2012 I'm hittin' the road with my 28 speed Fuji Touring bike and riding for as long as I want. (Sorry about the Jap bike for all you Harley guys). Think about it...since I usually 'wild camp' in the forests for nothing, my only real expenses are food and some routine maintenance. I cover those expenses by using the monthly options cycle to generate income from calls, puts, or spreads of various sorts. So while you Seeking Alpha trendies are sitting in front of your screens all day, I'll be out riding in the Sierra, the Cascades, the Rockies, the Appalachians, the Catskills, the Adirondacks, the Green and White Mountains...and thats just this summer! Once the weather gets nippy I think I will fly my little bum over to India and tour during their non-rainy season, enjoy the countryside, the curry, and maybe do a bit of Yoga or Meditation while the sun sets. All i need to keep an eye on the markets are a small Grundig AM/FM/Shortwave radio (go to hell you Sirius guys!) and a Netbook for trading and fun when I can get internet access...which last time I looked was everywhere.

Enjoy the bull market which started in Summer of 2009 and should run for a few more years. Ignore these 'stuck in a rut guys' and Obamanazis. Between lower energy prices from natural gas frackomania, lower medical costs and longer lifespans from bioengineering marvels just coming down the pike, and the eventual collapse of slave labor kleptocracies like China (and Chicago), the outlook for stocks and capitalism is as strong as its ever been.

When not cycling I am a self employed stock trader and military/political analyst. Live in the US now, lived throughout Asia (Korea, Japan, Russia, Pakistan, India, SE asia) in the 1990s and early 2000s. Statistics and forecasting, using market based socioeconomic data, are my specialty. Sometimes I am an adjunct college professor, teaching statistics, some finance courses, and earth/environmental science classes online.

Who cares about Europe? Who cares about (north) Korea? Who cares about gold! Fear factor is out of markets. This is BEARISH? What a joke. Apr 15, 2013
