Cramer’s gone BANANAs

ByDerek

I almost spit out my WPOP when I saw Jim Cramer break out the term BANANA on Mad Money last night. So I grabbed my camera, snaped some shots (I’m not geeky enough to have hacked my Tivo… yet) and sent the photos to BuffaloGeek because I consider him responsible for popularizing the term BANANA in Buffalo. I wanted to give him the opportunity to post the story himself first.

It seemed uncannily timely, having just finished my post on the Wal-Mart NIMBYs, the launch of The Buffalo BANANA Brigade blog, and some other BANANA-related press that Geek is getting.

Seeing it was a stroke of luck, since I don’t usually watch the show every night like I used to. I knew Cramer talked about CSX on his show last night, and since I just added it to my portfolio, I wanted to hear what he had to say. Good commentary, Jim. I added to my position today. Let’s hope that secular growth stock masquerading as a cyclical, uh, picks up steam. Pun very much intended.

I knew there was a reason

I consider myself to be a reasonably intelligent guy, but generally I feel that I have a pretty poor memory. I always wondered why that was. Then, my good buddy (whom I’ve never met, nor even seen in person) Scott Adams wrote this: At this point I will digress and give you my untested theory…

NY’s Jock Itch

ByDerek

Wow… here’s a tax I never knew New York had under it’s belt – the Jock Tax. I believe that professional athletes are grossly overpaid, but targeting a tax specifically on their profession seems even more unfair than the fact that guys that could barely graduate from high school make multimillion dollar salaries to play…

Sleeping Girls Redux

ByDerek

Back in March 2009, I snapped this photo of Amanda and Ariella sleeping on the couch. I couldn’t help notice the similar pose of Amanda and Cambree.  Cambree’s much younger than Ariella was in her pic, but the similarities are certainly there. Although I do like the full color version of this photo as well.

Train Show exhausting, but a huge success!

ByDerek

I didn’t think we could have an event bigger than last year’s Oktoberfest, but the train show blew the doors off of that. I’m not sure on the specifics yet as to attendance or money, but I’m guessing based on the number of door prize tickets we handed out there was at least 2000 people….

Maple Weekend

ByDerek

It’s Maple Weekend, when you can venture out to my neck of the woods and tour some sugar shacks, sample maple products, attend pancake breakfasts, and of course purchase all the maple products you want! We ventured out to three establishments. First stop was Kirsch’s Sugar House. This was actually the first time that any…

  2. The problem isn’t really my lack of technical expertise, it’s the fact that I love my Tivo just the way it is. It has one of the best interfaces ever for an electronic device, and it’s STABLE! Some things are too good the way they are to mess with. 🙂
