    My Latest Illustration Of Why I Cause The Luck of The Irish

    It's kind of a standing joke in my family that the Luck Of The Irish is directly correlated to me. The reason being, that I was placed on Earth to take all the bad luck, so that other Irish would fare well. Here's my latest evidence.

    Several months ago, I told this guy that I was working with that I was going to buy stock in Sanmina (SANM), a company we had previously worked at together. The stock was way down, at .70 and I told him, I was going to put the kiss of death on them. I was going to buy their stock.

    Sure enough, I bought it and almost immediately it's price plummeted, along with most other stocks. Last week, Sanmina's stock price had struggled back to .80 and I sold. I wouldn't have lost much in any event, but I sold it.

    Yesterday, and I'm not familiar with an event such as this, but maybe you are, Sanmina did a kind of reverse stock split. For every share owned, the owner was given 6 more shares, and the stock jumped to over $8 dollars a share.

    My point, besides crying to you, is to say, I'm for hire.
    If you want a given outcome, on any situation, I'll do something to try and influence it to the opposite and you win. You pay me a percentage.
    You want a team to win, I'll bet the other team and we'll wait and watch for their team charter to crash.
    The possibilities are endless. PM me if you have a proposal. I guarantee the success.

      There's some evil force that's been unleashed, and it's getting worse. Now, it's eating pm's.

            Sloww, the stock didn't jump to $8, that's just what a share is worth now. Though if you owned you would have 1/6th the number of shares. Still, there's been a nice rally since the reverse split, which is very unusual. Generally, a reverse split shows a sign of weakness not a sign of strength.

              A "reverse stock split" is what it sounds like. In this case for every 7 shares you own you get 1 consolidated share. At the price you sold, that would be $5.60 a nerw share, but, that single share is now worth $8.00. So luck not as bad as you described, but bad enough for reverse luck of the Irish.

                  For the good of america, remove all your investments from the stock market so it can go up for everyone else.
