The Customers From Hell
After ten years of stripping, I never experienced a group of girls so disrespectful, rude, and trashy until now. In fact, tonight was the first time I ever told off a group of customers.
This party took place at a condo in Orange Beach, Alabama, and it was a crowd consisting half of white girls and half of black girls. It was my second show of the night. I was driving to this show in a perfectly good mood, still high from the euphoria that the girls from first show gave me. Had I been a seer who could predict the future, then I would have called it a night and went home after the first one.
The first mishap occurred when the customer from the second show booked me at the last minute. The customer's name was Wendy, and she booked me around 8 p.m. and wanted me there soon. My agent had no choice but to schedule the party at 11:30 p.m. to midnight because my first party in Destin was at 8:30 p.m.
The second mishap occurred when the Wendy got too drunk and repeatedly contacted me wanting to know where I was at. She wanted to reschedule the party for 10:30 p.m., but I told her that was impossible since I was just leaving Destin. I told her that I would arrive a little past midnight. As I drove towards Wendy's location, she called me several more times, each time getting more antsy and impatient. She said, "People are starting to fall asleep here!"
Had Wendy booked a male stripper earlier instead of later, then the agency could provide a male stripper at her inconvenience instead of the other way around. I began to have doubts about her and her friends when the pre-show phone calls became more demanding.
The third mishap was entirely my fault. I arrived, met the customer outside, and collected the money. In my haste to get my police uniform ready and perform, I forgot my music player in the car. The girls had no music. So after I started stripping for the bachelorette, I had to pause the show and run and get my music. I apologized to everyone for my mistake. They said they wanted an extra twenty minutes for waiting.
The bachelorette's overly drunken state caused the fourth mishap. I could not interact or perform for her. She was so drunk that her eyes were half shut, and her plump body slumped to the side in the chair. Her lack of awareness made me feel like I was dancing for a corpse. She pointed out several of her friends and wanted me to dance for them instead.
Most of the crowd caused the fifth mishap. They did not want participate. Instead, they pointed back at the bachelorette and told me to dance with her. It was like a game of Pong. They just bounced me back and forth, neither girl wanting me on their side. The bachelorette wanted me as far away as possible.
The worst mishap came from this obese black lady dressed in purple; I will refer to her as the "Purple Slug." She resembled gelatinous slug that oozed fat rolls all over the couch she was on. She weighed around 400 pounds and wore a scowl as though she were perpetually angry at the world. Her personality was even uglier than her looks.
She insulted me by telling me that "I wasn't shit," and "I was boring," and "I need to get some betta music."
I ignored her, but her friends did not. Her loud voice spread like an infection across the room, and soon, several other girls started echoing her opinions, yet none of these critics dared to participate. A voice in the back of my mind told me to leave.
No matter how I danced or what I did, the crowd disapproved, then demanded some more dancing and some more action. They disapproved again when I did that. Exasperated, I asked them what they wanted me to do.
"Whaddaya mean what we want you to do?" the Purple Slug said in an angry tone. "You the male strippa, you supposed to be runnin' the show!"
Back to more dancing and disapproval. I knew this would not end well.
Finally I found three girls willing to participate, two black girls and a white girl. We danced, and I took body shots from two of them. We had a good vibe going between us. Had I had the ability to remove these three girls from this room and relocate them to a different place, then we would have had a great time together.
While I was on the third girl though, the Purple Slug interrupted. "Why you all over her?! You need to be on the bachelorette! See? She's goin' outside now! What the fuck!?"
The third girl cast me a sidelong apologetic look and scurried away, obvious in fear of the Purple Slug's wrath.
By now, most of the girls were outside on the balcony, including the bachelorette. Most of the girls were trash talking me. When I approached the bachelorette, she looked at me with glassy eyes and slurred, "I don't wanna dance wit ya."
Purple Slug chimed in, "See? She don't wanna dance wit you no more. You done fucked it all up. We callin' yo boss and gettin' a refund. We shouldn't have to pay for this shit! You did nuthin' n took our money!"
"Okay," I said. "That's it."
Wendy, the customer who paid me,picked up her cell phone said, "Yeah, I'm gonna call your boss and tell him that you fuckin' sucked so I can get a refund."
I did not stay around to listen. I gathered my belongings and walked out the front door, leaving several of the one-dollar bills on the floor. I could have collected them, but the thought of staying around these girls any longer sickened me.
As I exited the condo, I heard the Purple Slug say, "Make sure that front door is locked so he can't come back in!"
The door slammed once I reached the elevator, and I heard the sound of a lock clicking in place.
On my way to my car, I pulled out my phone to text my agent what happened.
Me (1:09 a.m.): Just a heads up. Those customers from second party want to complain and get a refund. I got the money though.
Agent (1:12 a.m.): I just got off the phone with them. they are a bunch of fucking cunts. get the hell out of there.
Agent (1:13 a.m.): perfect example why one should always collect the money up front. women like this.
He did not even need to tell me once. I had left the parking lot by the time I got his text message.
About twenty minutes later, Wendy called me. I sent the call to voice mail. She called again. I sent it to voice mail again.
When she called a third time, I answered the call with the readiness to hang up on her. In a calm voice, she told me that my "manager" had told her to "go fuck yourself" and hung up on her. She asked if I could give her the number to his boss or supervisor so she could get a refund.
I told her that he was the boss and supervisor.
"Who do I go to get a refund then?" she asked.
I found it amusing that she wanted my help now even though she told me that I "fuckin' sucked" earlier. Still, I decided to help point her in the right direction.
"You call the guy who told you to "go fuck yourself" and ask him for the refund," I said.
That was not the answer she wanted, but before I could listen to anything else, I drove through a very rural part of Alabama and my phone reception died. It came back shortly, but I was not going to call Wendy back. I didn't need anything from her. She apparently needed something from me.
She called me after a five minutes. I answered the phone more out of morbid curiosity than to actually help her.
She suggested that I refund her $125, which was half of the cash amount she gave me. I had no desire to do this, however, because I owed my agent that exact amount for his commission. That meant I would have given all of my earnings from the show, plus I would be out $30 for the cost of gas.
I politely explained my situation to Wendy, even though deep down I knew that reasoning with her would do no good.
Not surprisingly, Wendy disregarded everything I said and asked for the $125 again. She begged for it, and even sounded nice for a minute, but I had not forgotten the rude comments that she and her friends made about me while I was at the party. Furthermore, they locked me out of the condo and shunned me like a leper, and now they wanted me to do them a favor by driving back so I could give them some money. Fuck that.
When I told Wendy that I would not drive back to her location to give her a refund, she changed her tone and outlined all of the mistakes I did. She said that I was late, then I forgot my music, and I didn't put on a good show and only danced for twelve minutes.
I told her that she cannot book a stripper at the last minute and expect him to be on time. She did not listen. I took fault for forgetting the music, but that only spurred her on to focus her complaint on my short, twelve-minute performance.
"You wanted me out of place after twelve minutes, remember? Now you're complaining I left early?"
Once again, she asked for the refund. I told her that she needed to talk to my agent. Unfortunately for her, she pissed off my agent to the point of no return, so she knew that I was her only chance left at getting a refund.
She decided to try a different approach to convince me.
"Listen, my four-year-old can put on a better show than you can," she said. "So you need to give me a fucking refund or I'm going to go online and write a lot of bad reviews on you and your company to where no one will hire you anymore. So you need to come back and give me that refund. It's only fair since you only stripped for twelve fucking minutes!"
Her sense of entitlement fascinated me, considering that she wanted me to go out of my way to do something for her benefit while causing detriment to my time, money, and comfort. Only a tyrannical dictator can rival such rancid diplomacy by resorting to threats, insults, and demands to get something.
If Wendy and her friends had been kind and polite to me the entire time, then I would been more inclined to help them out. Yet, Wendy continued to insult me and explained how much I sucked as a male stripper. I even heard a few of her friends voice their insults in the background.
Losing patience, I fired back to her that I had a party earlier that night where the girls loved me and had a great time. I also told her that I had done hundreds upon hundreds of parties that end well, some customers even hiring me again. Then, I told her that she had the worst crowd out I had ever seen out of my ten year of stripping.
"So why couldn't you give us that kind of show?" Wendy demanded.
"Because you didn't want that kind of show," I said. "I can't give you a good show when you and your friends want to nitpick and complain. Y'all were negative from the beginning. Your attitude is what makes a show good-"
"So you're not going to give me my refund, even though you only worked for twelve minutes?" she asked.
"No," I said.
"That's fucked up!" she yelled. "You're a piece of shit! My four-year old son can entertain better than you can-"
I decided I had enough of her abuse.
"Go fuck yourself, you stupid fuckin' bitch!" I snarled and hung up the phone. Even though it was immature, I felt a bit of satisfaction giving her the same treatment that my agent gave her.
She did not call back.
I sent my agent another text message.
Me (1:37 a.m.): Another heads up. The women are trying to get ahold of the management.
Agent: (1:41 a.m.): I know. I am ignoring there phone calls. no point in talking to them. drunk and angry women. not a good combo.
Ten years of stripping at hundreds of parties, and this was my first and only time that I had ever yelled at, even cursed at, a customer.
I reflected back on this party to see if there was anything I could had done to improve the outcome. I came to the conclusion that I could not. They reminded me of those type of customers who go into restaurants, order a lot of food, eat it all, then complain about the taste and demand that they get the food free.
There is no way to please everyone, especially those with an unreasonable sense of entitlement.

I would feel sorry if a rookie male stripper would have to deal with a crowd like this. If I had this particular group during my first few shows when I was insecure and nervous, I would have quit.

Seriously those girls were horrible !!! Im impressed how calm you were all that time . you shouldv snapped at them way before.

I just saw the article in Cosmo and you are absolutely right about the inflated sense of entitlement some people feel they deserve. More than a couple of those customers would stop by the restaurants I worked for. Found out the hard way that call centers can be just as terrible.ReplyDeleteReplies
I know! If I see a bad customer harassing a waiter who is doing his/her best to please them, I'll say something. People get cranky when they want food too. Call centers are worse since the customers calling in already have a problem that's been bothering, so they take it out on the rep.Delete

Stay away from the middle east from a professional standpoint, Dion!

Dang...that's all I've got! Sometimes you just simply can't please people? I'm not in that line of work,however, those of you who are, have to deal with a plethora of people! Thank God you have the ones who give you the confidence to go to your next show! Wtg...ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks, Suzanne! You can't please everyone.Delete
Sorry you had to go thru that but hey you live and learn and hopefully they learned alot...like not to invite the purple slug to any parties and not be so intoxicated you can't enjoy a guy dancing for you... like ur agent said always collect the money up front is a good thing to do every time :) hope you haven't had any more bad ones like this one...ReplyDeleteReplies
Bad customers are few and far between. Most of my agents refuse to even send them a male stripper if they're too horrible. The money is just not worth it.Delete

First, evidence is that for any education system to be successful, you need to have a successful model, and American education model is far superior than Chinese. Secondly,the criterion of English is more applicable to American as the Chinese are less fluent, and there are less number of English-speaking people compared to American. Thirdly,the number of students and professionals enrolling in US universities and colleges rather than the colleges and universities in China.
The best advantage of u.s. education system is that students have freedom. Not the freedom of loaf the day, but the freedom of choose our own future. The situation was so different in China. I lived in China for twelve years, I do think that my math teacher made smarter then the students in u.s., but China's education system also made me feel scared of school. If I don 't do good on a final or even just a test, the punishment would either be get yelled and beat by teacher, or have a tons of homework. And this started for even in elementary school! So not only me, ninety percent of chineses students don't like school, school is just like the hell for them. But it would so different in u.s., I can feel the freedom, and I can feel that I am learning knowledge for myself instead of teacher's wage! U.s. education is just like a free -zon, we could controlled our own fate!!
There is much to be said for China's education system. Clearly, the system creates smart children. However, beyond knowing facts and formulas, an education system should prepare its children for the future. The United States system develops and encourages free thinking, whereas China oppresses such ideas. Thus, American children leave the education system with an advantage that Chinese children do not.
The United States via legislation guarantees education for all. While the education a student receives varies from region to region, all children are ensured education until they are 21 years old. Additionally, unlike China, we offer grants to low income families to break cycles of poverty. All of these are somewhat relative, and only apply to this moment, as political parties in the U.S. are trying to decrease all of the above mentioned programs.
China screens and decides where students would best excel. They are guided toward the areas where they would best succeed to serve the country. Others are not included in the posted test scores as they are guided toward vocational trades where, again, they would best serve the country. No room for self motivation. If we continue to try to make ALL students "fit the mold" our scientific invention, artistic expression will be lost. We are not putting children on assembly lines. We have freedom to pursue our dreams and goals. That is more important than a "score" which is not the true way to judge ability.
The US system, though it has its faults, is quite strong. We have excellent universities and schools of higher education. Our education program is currently suffering from an effort (rightful) to expand education opportunities to all. However, our schools are open to all and provide quality education for all.
I think that China's school children do not have the same opportunities that U.S. school children have. The quality of education potential is higher, here in the U.S. I think there is a drastic difference in how we educate, compared to China, especially in very small towns and villages. Here, we more or less have the same opportunities, no matter where we reside.
I believe that the U.S. is superior to China, in regards to education. We give all students a chance to succeed. Our students are not punished if they are not the highest ranked in their class, or lowest ranked in their class. In China, children start at a young age to prepare for a test called the Gao Kao. This one test is taken in high school and the scoring of that test determines if and where they will go to college. Once their score is computed, they also don't have the choice of their major, as the administrator chooses it for them. In the U.S., placement of which college you go to is based on scoring, but not to the same extent as China. We make our own decisions as to where we want to go to college, and work that much harder to achieve those goals.
China is known to have an international educational curriculum. Thus in the united states, we practice individualism, where students are eligible to take classes on their own rather than being force to take it as a source of internationalism. China students are superior because they don't receive second chances or help program like d.a.r.e. In other words, if students tend to mess up, they are in great trouble. So the advantages or being educated in the united states overlook the country scale test.
There is no doubt that schools in America lack. It is easy for students to slip through the cracks, and progress with mediocre effort. In some public schools, the issues students face- at home or in their community contribute to a substandard network of support. There is also, admittedly, a insufficient motivation on the part of some teachers and students. But this happens in China too, where there is no support network, and opportunities are severely restricted based upon students performance. If you are good at focusing, good at rote memorization, and good at taking tests, the Chinese system, with heavy emphasis on nationalized exams, (the Xiao Kao, Gao Kao, etc) will be great for you. Just make sure to do your best on the subjects you're interested in because your scores will determine your future. However, if you are a nervous test taker, have any educational disabilities, want to build capacity in areas outside of the narrow focus you will find yourself streamed into (through test scores,) or simply want a second chance when the first thing your try doesn't work out then the US provides a vastly improved system. Of course countries with education systems focused on teaching to standardized tests are going to perform better on standardized tests, (especially when they can pick and choose the scores reported for international comparisons.) This doesn't necessarily demonstrate that the students within such a system are truly more competitive. Basically, what do you want, a Jack of all trades, or a master of 1? <-- this is all generalization, in both systems, families, friends and friends can help to provide more support.
As to discipline. (incredible generalization below) America = too little, Students may or may not do homework, they may spend too much time on computers/videogames/tv.
China = too much, ill focused. Wake up at 6:30am, go to class until 9:30pm (there are breaks) Rinse and repeat 12 days out of 14.
In athletic terms a marathoner who runs 26mi/day every day of the week will be no more competitive than a marathoner who runs an average of 26 miles every 2 weeks.
The US system, while giving much space and choice for students is not making them work hard enough. When they give homework, it lasts most students up till 6 o'clock. And then they have nothing more to do. Which means watching meaningless TV shows. Had the homework amount increase. Students would spend more time learning.
The U.S. education system is inferior to China's because we are letting our children pass when they haven't learned the material. We are to lenient in our schools in the U.S.
More disciplined system, seems to bare better results. The United States system seems to be to lackadaisical and lacking motivation from both students and teachers. I think a more difficult and disciplined system is essential for a solid education. I believe that a strong structure and a lot of discipline is needed now more than ever because of all of the distractions that today's students have, including gadgets, internet, TVs, video games, etc...Need more discipline!!
Since the passage of No Child Left Behind and the consequences that are placed on schools if their students don't pass the tests as determined by the law, our educational system has put sole emphasis on teaching to the test. This is not a way to build a generation who love learning, who can think critically and become expert problem solvers in our modern world. I think most developed countries and others like China who stress education are passing the United States by. We will have a population who only knows the answers to the 40 questions on the test and not much else.
The United States educational system, particularly the public education system, is inconsistent in its application. Public schools in urban areas are barely able to keep students safe, let alone teach them to read. The United States must make a concerted effort to improve its educational system, or it will continue to fall behind international educational programs. The Chinese system places a far greater emphasis upon educating students for future success and is superior to that of the United States.
The U.S. education system (school and high school) is extremely liberal. American students decide to put only small efforts in studying science and mathematics and consequently the system is not helping to create tomorrow's scientist. In China. both science and math are fundamental parts of its education systems. Education is based on mandatory requirements for all students in order for them to know where they real capabilities are. The Chinese system is good to identify people's strengths. As you see, that is why U.S. colleges are very interested in accepting Chinese students.
My evidence for this is working in a job that deals with high school students as employees and customers. Everyday I am baffled at some of the questions I hear. For example, someone was talking about running half of a marathon in the coming weeks. One of the "kids" asked how far that was and the reply was 13.1 miles. When the man left, about 5 recently graduated teenagers came over and asked me how long a full marathon was. I couldn't believe it! These "kids" all carry high school diplomas, the same as mine, and they can't do a simple math equation of 13.1 plus 13.1 or 13.1 times 2. Sadly, these kinds of questions are a daily thing and every time I can't believe they have high school diplomas.
With Texas making drastic changes to history books, promoting the teaching of creationism and omitting founding fathers the education system is in a horrible place. Since Texas has a huge industry for school textbooks, this is quite troubling. This is not far off from China censoring information about the atrocities it has committed.
It has been proven by testing scores that China leads the world with their education system. Their Teachers are more respected, most students have a harder work ethic, and, unlike in the U.S., the Chinese do not separate the higher achieving students from the lower achieving students by tracking levels. (Taken from the University of Michigan article: Comparing U.S. and Chinese) Though the U.S. may seem to allow more creative, the actual scores of the Chinese are way above those of any other country.
I do not need to say more about PISA scores. The purpose of education is to prepare a good citizen in the future. In America, the school gives students the freedom. However, in the long term, it is irresponsibility to the students. Schools should give more pressure on students and compare them internationally.

When a person dies must the funeral be in a church with a pastor?
by Matt Slick
When a person dies, there is no biblical necessity for the funeral to be held in a church or a funeral parlor and with a pastor officiating. The reason we have funerals in churches and funeral parlors is that of tradition, particularly here in western cultures. There are other areas of the world where funerals take radically different forms, such as a procession in a street, cremation, burial at sea, burials in caves, etc. Also, those who preside over funerals vary from shamans, priests, or friends of the deceased.
Furthermore, it is not a church and a pastor that makes a funeral proper. There is no special power the Christian church or pastor might have in relationship to a person who has died. Again, it is simply the custom of our land due to the heavy Christian influence of the past that we have funerals where pastors speak of the things of God, share the word of God, and point people to redemption in Christ. After all, the death of a friend is always a sobering event, and such times can be used to preach the gospel.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Jerry Hairston Jr. is retiring after spending the past two seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The 37-year-old utilityman hit .211 this year with two homers and 22 RBIs in 204 at-bats.
He said on Twitter on Wednesday, "after 16 seasons decided retiring is my best opportunity. Game will not miss me but I will miss it and teammates immensely!"
Hairston has a .257 career average with 70 homers, 420 RBIs and 147 steals with Baltimore (1998-04), the Chicago Cubs (2005-06), Texas (2006-07), Cincinnati (2008-09), the World Series champion New York Yankees in 2009, San Diego (2010), Washington (2011), Milwaukee (2011) and the Dodgers.

Holmesburg Civic Association president Rich Frizell last week paid tribute to Jim Ryan, a neighborhood activist who died late last month.
The cleanup crew from the Friends of Pennypack Park endured an intermittent rainstorm to round up 29 bags of litter from the park near Frankford and Solly avenues on July 26. Curiously enough for the 21 rain-soaked volunteers, they also found an abandoned rowboat.
The controversial Healing Way methadone clinic at Frankford Avenue and Decatur Street seems ready to open, following last week's issuance of a state health department license to operate.
The Holmesburg Civic Association plans to continue to fight the proposed opening of a methadone clinic at Frankford Avenue and Decatur Street.
The Holmesburg Civic Association and some State Road businesses have entered into an agreement with NorthEast Treatment Centers that will allow for a methadone clinic to open in the neighborhood. The agreement follows a recent court victory by NET, which plans to open a clinic at 7520 and 7550 State Road.
Common Pleas Court Judge Ellen Green-Ceisler is expected to rule soon in an appeal of a Zoning Board of Adjustment decision permitting a methadone clinic along State Road in Holmesburg.
A crowd of around 300 was at Abraham Lincoln High School on July 16 to protest proposed methadone clinic.
Attorney Frank Bennett has promised to keep the battle going to prevent a proposed methadone clinic from opening at 7520 State Road.
Back in February 2009, some 1,500 people turned out at Anne Frank Elementary School in Bustleton to oppose a planned methadone clinic at Grant Avenue and Roosevelt Boulevard.

Renren Games And Flurry Partner To Bring Analytics And Monetization Solutions To China's Mobile Developers
BEIJING, July 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Renren Games, the online game subsidiary of China's leading real-name social network Renren Inc. (NYSE:RENN) and Flurry Inc. today announced a broad partnership to offer Flurry's industry-leading analytics and monetization platform to China's mobile game developers.
Through the partnership, mobile game developers who utilize Renren Games' publishing/operating platform to distribute their titles will gain access to Flurry's market-leading analytics solution. Developers will be able to track key Flurry metrics, such as active app users, player retention, and in-app events directly within the Renren Games platform. Renren Games will provide Chinese-language support documentation for Flurry's services. Developers will also be able to leverage AppSpot, Flurry's global monetization platform in addition to Renren Games' Ader, one of the largest mobile ad networks in China.
"Renren Games has always emphasized the importance of big data analysis in its own operation and the practice has been leveraged across a wide range of Renren Games' businesses," said Edward He, CEO of Renren Games. "By introducing a Flurry-integrated Renren Games experience to our developer partners we are providing the capability to generate powerful insights that improve app performance in the highly competitive mobile games space."
Flurry sees one third of all global daily app sessions, giving it more data on consumer mobile activity than any other company. Today over 100,000 companies publishing more than 350,000 apps use Flurry's SDK to measure more than 1.6 trillion monthly events. Flurry's AppSpot ad serving platform uses this data to help developers serve ads that are more relevant, resulting in higher conversion rates than the industry standard.According to Flurry, in February 2013, China surpassed the United States to become the world's top country for active Android and iOS smartphones and tablets. In fact, in June of 2013, out of the 1.1 billion active devices measured by Flurry, 261 million were in China, compared to 246 million in the United States. Mobile gaming in China is seeing tremendous growth. According to a recent report by leading market research firm iResearch, China's mobile game market is expected to reach RMB 7.85 billion ( US$1.28 billion) and RMB 10.89 billion ( US$1.77 billion) in 2013 and 2014. "Mobile application development is witnessing a major boom in China," said Simon Khalaf, President and CEO of Flurry. "We are proud to be working with Renren Games on helping China-based developers optimize their app experience and increase their revenues through an integrated platform." The parties anticipate that the integration between Renren Games and Flurry will be completed by the end of this year with enhancements and additional features available in early 2014.

Shiller CAPE Peaches Smell Like BS
June 14, 2014 at 2:08 pm 22 comments
If something sounds like BS, looks like BS, and smells like BS, there's a good chance you're probably eyeball-deep in BS. In the investment world, I encounter a lot of very intelligent analysis, but at the same time I also continually step into piles of investment BS. One of those piles of BS I repeatedly step into is the CAPE ratio (Cyclically Adjusted Price-to-Earnings) created by Robert Shiller. For those who are not familiar with Shiller, he is a Nobel Prize winner in economics who won the award in 2013 for his work on the "empirical analysis of asset prices." Shiller vaulted into fame in large part due to the timing of his book, Irrational Exuberance, which was published during the 2000 technology market peak. He gained additional street-credibility in the mid-2000s when he spoke about the bubble developing in the real estate markets.
What is the CAPE?
Besides being a scapegoat for every bear that has missed the tripling of stock prices in the last five years, the CAPE effectively is a simple 10-year average of the P/E ratio for the S&P 500 index. The logic is simple, like many theories in finance and economics, there often are inherent mean-reverting principles that are accepted as rules-of-thumb. It follows that if the current 10-year CAPE is above the 134-year CAPE average, then stocks are expensive and you should avoid them. On the other hand, if the current CAPE were below the long-term CAPE average, then stocks are cheap and you should buy. Here is a chart of the Shiller CAPE:
As you can see from the chart above, the current CAPE ratio of 26x is well above the 134-year average of 16x, which according to CAPE disciples makes the stock market very expensive. Or as a recent Business Insider article stated, the Shiller CAPE is "higher than at any point in the 20th century with the exception of the peaks of 1929 and 2000 – you know what happened after those."
Problems Behind the Broken CAPE Tool
There are many problems with Shiller's CAPE analysis, but let's start with the basics by first asking, how useful has this tool actually been over the last, 10, 20, or 30 years? The short answer…not very. For example, if investors followed the implicit recommendation of the CAPE for the periods when Shiller's model showed stocks as expensive (see above chart 1990 – 2014), they would have missed a more than quintupling (+469% ex-dividends) in the S&P 500 index. Over a shorter timeframe (2009 – 2014) the S&P 500 is up +114% ex-dividends (+190% since March 2009).
Even if you purchased at the worst time at the peak of the stock market in 2000 when the CAPE was 44 (S&P 500 – 1553), an investor would still have earned a total return of about +45% from 2000 – 2014, despite the CAPE still being 63% higher (more expensive) than the 134-year CAPE average of 16.
Peaches for $.25 Post-Bubble?
To illustrate a point, let's assume you are a peach lover and due to a bubble in peach demand, prices spiked to an elevated level of $2.60 per pound for 9 years, but in year 10 the price plummeted to $.25 per pound today (see chart below). Assuming the 134-year average for peach prices was $1.60 per pound, would you still want to purchase your beloved peaches for the fire sale price of $.25 per pound? Common sense tells you $.25/lb. is a bargain, but if you asked the same question to Robert Shiller, he would say absolutely "NO"! The 10-year Peach CAPE ratio would be $2.37 ([9 yrs X $2.60] + [1 yr X $.25]) #1, but since the 10-year CAPE is greater than the LT-Average peach price of $1.60 per pound #2, Shiller would say peaches are too expensive, even though you could go to Kroger (KR) and buy a pound of peaches today for $0.25 #3.
This complete neglect of current market prices in the calculation of CAPE makes absolutely no sense, but this same dynamic of ignoring current pricing reality is happening today in the stock market. Effectively what's occurring is the higher P/E ratios experienced over the last 10 years are distorting the Shiller CAPE ratio, thereby masking the true current value of stocks. In other words the current CAPE of 26x vastly exaggerates the pricey-ness of the actual S&P 500 P/E ratio of 16x for 2014 and 14x for 2015.
There are plenty of other holes to poke into CAPE, but the last major component of Shiller's ratio I want to address is interest rates. Even if you disregard my previous negative arguments against Shiller's CAPE, should anyone be surprised that the ratio troughed in the early 1980s of 7x when long-term interest rates peaked. If I could earn 18% on a CD with little risk in 1981, not many people should be dumbfounded that demand for risky stocks was paltry. Today, the reverse environment is in place – interest rates are near record lows. It should therefore come as no surprise, that all else equal, a higher P/E (and CAPE) is deserved when interest rates are this low. Nevertheless, this discussion of P/E and CAPE rarely integrates the critical factor of interest rates.
While I have spent a decent amount of time trashing the CAPE-BS ratio, I want to give my pal Bob Shiller a fair shake. I can do this by looking into a mirror and admitting there are periods when the CAPE ratio can actually work. Although the CAPE is effectively useless during long, multi-year upward and downward trending markets (think bubbles & depressions), the CAPE makes perfect sense in sideway, trendless markets (see chart below).
The investing public is always looking for a Holy Grail financial indicator that will magically guide them to riches in both up and down markets. Despite the popularity of Shiller's CAPE ratio, regrettably no one perfect indicator exists. So before you jump on the bandwagon and chase the hot indicator du jour, make sure to look down and make sure you haven't stepped in any Shiller CAPE-BS.

Sorry but that peach analogy is completely wrong (and I'm not a CAPE believer). But the CAPE ratio does reflect current market prices, and after plummeting in price the "peach CAPE" would absolutely scream buy. The CAPE only looks at today'\s market price relative to ten year's of earnings data. I guess if you want to stick with peaches (and you shouldn't) it would compare today's price of peaches with the number of peaches you're buying, which would always be one. So CAPE would go down in parallel with price.
Shiller readily admits that the CAPE is a poor predictor of returns. He also doesn't advocate not investing when the CAPE is above the historical average, which your example shows. What it does a fabulous job of predicting is future returns over the medium term (10 years). Here you would have a difficult time rebutting the use of the CAPE. We are at levels in CAPE that historically provide ensuing 10 year returns of 2.8% per year.
Wade, do you REALLY think that Shiller or his "CAPE disciples," as you call them, would pass up an opportunity to buy "peaches" (stocks) if current price dropped by 85% to 90% vs. CAPE? No, they'd back-up the truck and buy with both hands. Same for a price drop of "only" 40% to 50%. Either of those scenarios would represent the very mean reversion that's at the heart of a proper application of CAPE. While there may be reasonable arguments against CAPE, claiming it's BS sort of doesn't fly when your own peaches analogy seems a bit disingenuous itself.
The earlier post @Brian is correct in stating the peach analysis doesn't work. You're confusing prices with ratios.

The market is overvalued based on MANY metrics, not just CAPE. I won't repeat the extensive analysis provided by John Husssman on his site (www.hussmanfunds.com) on this topic.
But here's the thing: Valuation is demonstrably useless for predicting 1-5 year returns, it is only useful for predicting expected returns over a 7-12 year timeframe. An irrationally exuberant market can always get more so, and vice versa. So don't use the CAPE or any valuation metric to time the market, but be aware that it is overvalued, and that Buy&Hold investors will NOT be treated kindly over the next decade.

Almost half of Lithuanians will probably vote against the construction of a new nuclear power plant in a non-binding referendum in October, according to a survey by Prime Consulting for magazine Veidas.
Forty eight percent of Lithuanians may vote against the nuclear plant in Visaginas, while 19 percent support the construction, Veidas said.
The poll, conducted in the country's largest cities among 500 people on July 16-17, didn't provide a margin of error. Lithuania will hold the referendum on Oct. 14 along with general election.

Breaking down the QB's TD pass to Mario Manningham. Matt Bowen
Click here for the entire Inside the Playbook series.
Let's go back to Sunday's Divisional Playoff matchup at Lambeau Field, discuss red zone defense and take a look at Eli Manning's TD pass to Mario Manningham. As we have talked about before, play action inside of the 10-yard line line can open up the middle of the field when LBs and safeties attack the line of scrimmage.
And that is exactly what we saw from the Giants' playbook as Manning used run action to target the skinny post. I want to break down the route, look at the coverage the Packers are playing in the secondary and illustrate why Manningham had a free run to the middle of the field.
Giants vs. Packers
Personnel: Posse (3 WR, 1 TE, 1 RB)
Route: Skinny Post (play action)
Coverage: Combination man (Cover 7)
Coaching Points
1. "Combination" man-coverage: Check out Morgan Burnett (highlighted in red box) from his pre-snap alignment. The Packers essentially are playing "combination" man (similar to Cover 7 calls), where the FS will look to double one of the receivers. Here, the Packers are going to play 2-on-1 vs. Hakeem Nicks (possibly to take away the fade route). However, that leaves nickel back Charles Woodson and CB Tramon Williams in "solo" coverage with no safety help in the middle of the field.
2. Play action: The Giants show run action to the closed (strong) side of the formation with Ahmad Bradshaw. With TE Jake Ballard staying in to block, both inside linebackers and the SS step to the line of scrimmage (eyes in the backfield). This now turns into Cover 0 (blitz-man) for the Packers with the underneath defenders unable to get any depth on their drops after reading run.
3. Route scheme: Focus on Manningham (route highlighted in yellow). The Giants' WR releases to the inside, stems vertically up the field and then breaks to the post (creating separation). With Williams holding outside leverage, Manningham can work to the middle of the field as the CB is now in what I call a "trail position." Tough spot to be in as a DB with no help to the inside.
The Packers wanted to take Nicks out of the play. Understandable on the goal line with the threat of the fade route (or back-shoulder fade). But when the second level of the defense reads a false run key, the CB is going to be hung out to dry in this coverage.

Premierleague.com rifles through the annals of the Barclays Premier League to find significant events.
Gerry Francis became Tottenham Hotspur's third manager in two years when he took over following the departure of Osvaldo Ardiles the previous month.
Francis left Queens Park Rangers and followed on from caretaker boss Steve Perryman with Spurs at the wrong end of the Barclays Premier League table.
His first match was a 4-3 home defeat by Aston Villa and the side drew his next two fixtures, 0-0 against Chelsea and 1-1 at Liverpool. But under Francis thier form improved and they won seven of their next nine matches in all competitions - keeping six consecutive clean sheets in the process.
They finished seventh, two positions below the UEFA Cup spot, and also reached the FA Cup semi-finals, where they went down 4-1 to Everton.
In the next two seasons, Francis was unable to generate an improvement, Spurs finishing eighth in 1995/96 and then 10th. Three months into the 1997/98 campaign, Francis left White Hart Lane. He returned to QPR in September 1998 and three years later took over at Bristol Rovers, another former club whom he had managed before his first spell at Loftus Road.

Kashmir and India human rights abuses
hello all,
check this link out:http://www.indiatogether.org/peace/kashmir/articles/indhr.htm
indian activists themselves are exposing the atrocities by Indians in Kashmir.
thanks for the post sister Hanna.
thank you
Beig Imtiaz, thank you for sharing this.
I also read this editorial in India Together—http://www.indiatogether.org/opinions/edits/whykashmir.htm
that speaks to their reasons for covering the Kashmir conflict and for bringing to light the human rights abuses that are taking place.
This is such a complicated and complex conflict, with so many radically different views on what the true solution is. I find India Together's willingness to cover the news of the region a refreshing break from what has largely remained hidden.
I am very happy to see you taking part in this group discussion. I do hope you will share your personal story and personal views on what is currently taking place in Kashmir. Specifically, what is your hope for Kashmir as a region? For her people? What are the solutions inside Kashmir that you are seeing? Are their grassroots efforts rising up? What can we as an international community do to support the people of Kashmir?
Looking forward to opening this dialogue. I hope you will invite others to the group to share their stories as well. There has been so much misinformation (or no information!) in the media surrounding Kashmir, it is only by sharing experiences that true understanding can begin.
All the best to you and yours,
