Markets and music. They go together like chocolate and peanut butter, right? But with alliteration. Then there's the old trope: "Bulls make money. Bears make money. Pigs get slaughtered." This bloggy beast is my forum to post investment ideas to avoid the stock market from becoming a slaughterhouse. And to impose my meandering musical preferences on unsuspecting readers. Step up to the trough and enjoy the slop.

Up Up and Away
Up Up and Away by the Fifth Dimension
Even though this song dates back to the 60's, I recall hearing it over the p.a. at concerts at my elementary school, Haddonfield Friends, as a recessional while the audience dispersed.
Watching the video, I was reminded of a should-be-classic 80's film, and one of its characters, Don "No Soul" Simmons. Here's a clip:
Today's 900-point Dow range offered up some prime swing trading opportunities. I made some additions to the portfolio, turning cash into shares:
Bought UYG at $6.09 during the morning slump for a new cost basis of $6.4125.
Bought FXP at $64.46 and $60.35 during the last fifteen minutes of the market breakout for a new cost basis of $69.89.
