Is Urban Loneliness a Myth?
“a splendid desert—a domed and steepled solitude, where the stranger is lonely in the midst of a million of his race.”
Serendipitous encounters between people who know each other well, sort of well, and not at all. People of every type, and with every type of agenda, trying to meet up with others who share that same agenda. An environment that’s alive at all hours, populated by all types, and is, most of the time, pretty safe. What he was saying, really, was that New York had become the Web. Or perhaps more, even: that New York was the Web before the Web was the Web, characterized by the same free-flowing interaction, 24/7 rhythms, subgroups, and demimondes.
Beautiful prose…
It doesn’t belong here, but so beautiful and bittersweet, just had to have it.
Like the post.
On an unrelated topic AZO is run like our government. They will take on unlimited amounts of debt to prop themselves up. Another 500 mil tonight?
To me that’s ridiculous given the current state of their B/S.
I think Lampert needs to show he didn’t lose money on everything he picked this year.
I think I’m done with any big positions until the sp hits 1000 or 800.
Do have a burning urge to short GM again…
Hi Lenny,
AZO is an enigma…. until it’s not! bbwwwaaahhhhaaahhaaa
It reminds me of SHLD at $100. I so wanted to short it, stalked it for awhile, it was defying all logic. The fall was hard and swift, as we know. AZO deserves the same fate, they’re so cash poor, it’s not funny.
Are you taking a break for the holidays?
GM is the “tainted one”, another lottery ticket. It can go either way but probably the way of FNM et al. Good luck if you decide to do it!
I don’t feel like I have much of an edge right now either way so I’m inclined to just sit back and be a spectator.
I’ll try to scalp a little here or there but not a whole lot else.
I got all the equipment and ingredients I need so very soon here I’ll have some feedback for you on how it goes!
I do plan on going into the holidays flat – don’t have any desire to worry about positions next week.
I was at Williams Sonoma, they have a pre-made mix. Crazy expensive, of course, but it’s there 🙂
GL scalping and happy holidays!
