Rolex's slogan is "A Crown for Every Achievement". This watch marks the first of many to come.

Just a question and i'll be the first to admit im not very good with stocks but isnt the S&P 500 DOWN about 18% from Apr 2007 to now?

A professional colleague of mine is a Mutual Fund mgr and im always slightly amused when he says he is doing well because he is beating his benchmark index. If the index is the S&P500 for example and the index is down 18%. So long as he is down LESS than the index then he is rewarded It doesnt matter if he actually lost money. As far as statistics are concerned he outperformed his benchmark.

Oh and since people are trying to guess your incoming watch. I'll guess you're getting a DSSD

I would say I crushed the 500. 140% return in 2007, 986% return in 2008, 165% return in 2009.


Lol thanks johny. I'll pour myself a Macallan's the day I get the watch in your honor.

Ooops i posted before i saw this post! Good stuff!

Any luck with the price you were looking for in Dallas?

My guess is the dj with black dial. Right?

you can make money in a down market by short selling. going long isn't the only way to profit.
