My Stock portfolio's Requiem Mass
These stocks need to do well over the next 6 months or else I starve: GE, MCHX, YHOO, EMC, BSX.
Why in 6 months time will I be not be starving but in fact fat? Because:
General Electric (NYSE:GE) - Solid, general, unbankruptable (the company is so big it can actually issue paper money, called commercial paper) really!
Marchex, INC. (NasdaqNM:MCHX) - Marchex, Inc. quote "connects merchants with consumers who search for information, products, and services on the Internet providing merchant advertisers with various technology-based services, including pay-per-click advertising listings that are reflective of its merchant advertisersÂ’ products and services to online users in response to their keyword search queries; feed management services to extract product content from merchant advertisersÂ’ databases and Web sites; advertising campaign management services to track and monitor the placement of search advertising campaigns across various search engines and pay-per-click networks, as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of online advertising campaigns; and search engine optimization services to ensure the proper indexing, listing, and inclusion in the editorial results of algorithmic search engines."
END QUOTE!!!!! That's one sentence!! This company has everything a hollow, speculative stock should have - low EPS, recent IPO, inflated stock price, and an INTERNET COMPANY!! Good buy!
Yahoo! (NasdaqNM:YHOO) - Yaaaaahhhooooooooo! The commercials sold me. Plus any company named after an otomotopia must have a bright future! Snarf! Whhhrrrrrrr Kaaaaplung (that's supposed to be a whistle sound with crash)
EMC Corp. (NYSE:EMC) - Booooorrrring!!!
Boston Scientific CP (NYSE:BSX) - Makes scientific stuff in Boston, hey that's where MIT, Boston College, Harvard, Berklee College of Music, Boston Conservatory, the Boston Architectural Center, Emerson College, Emmanuel College, Fisher College, the Massachusetts College of Art, the New England Conservatory of Music, New England School of Law, Northeastern University, Simmons College, Suffolk University, University of Massachusetts Boston, Wheelock College, and Wentworth Institute of Technology, Babson College, Bentley College, Brandeis University, Hellenic College, Lesley University, the Longy School of Music, Merrimack College, Pine Manor College, Regis College, Stonehill College, Tufts University, Wheaton College and Wellesley College, among others are located.

So, I know I'm a little tech heavy particularly in that moneyless black pit called the internet. But that's where to future is! The Matrix told me so.
Oh, and before I went on this stock buying binge. I was on Bodensee (lake Constancenz) for a little death metal and punk concert worship!
Here is the German version of camping in the wild:

ooooooooo!! Scary!
The tent I slept in was made for tiny people - like everything in Europe.

Bier is about the only big thing in Europe... except

ROCK AM SEE!!!! (that translates to Punk/Metal Death Festival that Smelled like Piss on Beautiful Turquoise Lake)
Before the concert I was my typical self: intelligent, conservatively-dumb, well-dressed, little peevish, sorta like so:

After: the same but a little drunker:
