Simultaneous undershirt discussions - Market Indicator?

[David Jay]

There are currently two active threads discussing Undershirts. This can't be a coincidence. It must be some kind of cosmic convergence. Like a "star in the east", as it were.

I just can't figure out if it is a "buy" signal or a "sell" signal.

[bloom2708]

Possibly.

I am sticking 50/50 with my undershirts. I buy American Apparel 50/50 crew necks from Amazon in the colors I wear for undershirts.

50 US/50 International. I mean 50 cotton/50 polyester.

They are a bit more expensive, but they last and are very comfortable. I buy medium and they are "just right" for undershirts. They are also nice enough to wear as basic/non logo t-shirts.

[David Jay]

...they are "just right" for undershirts.

So "Mama Bear" market?

[Doom&Gloom]

I am going short(s).

Unless Vanguard is too strict of a nanny.

[Teague]

Be very careful. Such discussions are filled with investors who have lost their shirts.

[RickBoglehead]

It blows my mind when I see some of the things posted like undershirts.

Is this the right forum for a discussion of market timing strategies? I think not. This is all contrary to the Boglehead philosophy.

I always find the Internet Anagram Server to be a fount of ideas. One of the anagrams it showed me for "two undershirts" was "shutdown triers."

I’m sure you are right. Where do I go for absolution from my impure thoughts?

[Fundhunter]

I am sure there are plenty of market timing strategy websites, although I have not looked for them. Just curious why you would pick the Boglehead site to post on. Like a Democrat posting on a GOP website (or vice versa).

Did you really miss that OP was speaking tongue-in-cheek? I mean surely he's not actually looking for buy or sell signals based on the undershirt threads (or the gun threads ... or the minivan vs SUV threads)!

He’s joking. People say this all the time to people who post on the board asking when to buy

Shhh... Lady Geek might show up (I love you LG, just trying to stay in the spirit of the thread)

In that case I'm the oblivious one!

Ohh - the cleaning out of our office for retirement

This is one of life's milestones. Every hour is an emotional roller coaster.

Overwhelming relief that we can get rid of that heavy work load that burdened us for so long and commanded our life. But overwhelming sadness that we are leaving our work where we spent our days working with our co-workers who became our work family. Overwhelming emotions that one phase of our life is ending and another phase is beginning, that we will no longer be needed for our skills that we spent so many years honing to some perfection, that we are getting older and moving on

Congrats! So you're shopping for some new work attire!

Congrats! So you're shopping for some new work attire.

I am a pretty formal guy. No undershirts for me, I insist on at least a Pocket-T.

[phantom0308]

HBI is a steal right now at 9.66 P/E. Hanes will surely Champion a new era of profitability in the undergarments sector of the economy.

ROFL.

There are currently two active threads discussing Undershirts.

I count three.

David Jay,

Excellent observation on causation, would not go as far as correlation. Around the same time when the stock market was tanking, I happened to find a great deal for undershirts from Gildan:

12-Pack Gildan Classic Heavy Cotton T-Shirts (Various Sizes & Colors) EXPIRED
from $8.50

I decided not to buy them for some reason thinking I did not need that many undershirts and did not buy stock either with extra powder and I feel my undershirts were taken!
