Was having 420 instances on purpose?  Maybe it means you can just roll one joint instead of taking 420 shots.

That's good. 420 shots of beer is a whole lot to be drinking on most days of the week.

Assuming a shot is what, an ounce?  That's like 3.2 gallons of beer.

A shot is 1.5 oz.  Almost a 5 gallon bucket full.

I'm going to be pedantic and say that a jigger is 1.5oz and a shot is either poorly defined or 1.0oz, depending on who you ask:

I've always gone by fingers rather than shots while mixing drinks.  Then you choose a wider or narrower glass depending on how badly you need the drink.  :P

Can there really be a new top? If every day is a new top, then no day is a new top.

Similar to, if everyone is weird, then no one is weird.

It’s like a second (third, fourth, fifth, etc.) coming of The Top. If you read revelations it will make more sense.

This is not true.  Weird covers so much territory that there's plenty of space for everybody to be really weird relative to every other person's really weird.

The top has to be in. My portfolio can't make $5k to $25k per day forever, therefore it's in.

Well that depends how big your portfolio is, Top could be in, and value dropping slightly every day, but if you had a billion dollars invested, you could probably still pull 5-25k per day in dividends alone

My 401(k) buy was this Friday. It had to go up. It's a law of nature at this point.

Sometimes we get in sort of an upside down situation.  The Fed is threatening to taper (which is maybe why Powell's re-nomination is in question), which will raise interest rates, slow down the economy, and possibly induce a minor recession.

Apple and Amazon's results could mean that things aren't as great as the Fed thought, so they won't have to taper as soon as people thought (this month).  Thus the low interest rate party continues.

I was trying not to be serious in this thread. But, not just that there is also the GDP report that came out yesterday. You will see weak GDP numbers boost stock prices sometimes because of interest rates and QE policy.

If we don’t get a Thorstache post soon, the top may very well be in!  A post with red lines, scary words, and exclamation points would be extremely bullish…. I must say, it’s nice to have an indicator that is 100% accurate

I feel very rich. Too bad it's all going to melt down. We're already down several points from the intraday high.
