I'm not sure what part you think is BS? Google/HTC have patents, and they've chosen to enforce them against Apple. While I don't have the complaint in front of me, the asserted patent numbers are obviously disclosed at the beginning of the proceeding.

That's a good point. Somewhere in the back of my head I knew that. So I guess the question becomes - can they keep up the earnings? Also, I'm unfortunately unaware of the averages for REITs/Earnings to dividends.

I'm not sure how much you rely on TA/PA as opposed to fundamental analysis ... but the dividend on AGNC looks a little unsustainable. Do you disagree? They paid about $80m in dividends, but only earned $93m. In this case, we're dealing with an REIT. It's possible that the analysis is a...

Real interesting call on TICC. I've done some quick research, and I like it. Except, I think the break out may have already begun. I'll be watching and might consider it on a pull back.

Fair enough. Just to play devils advocate though ... what if the bailout gets a lot of mileage - like another +400 to +500 on the Dow? Also, what if the bailout acts as an ignition that "unleashes" the built-up pressure of the jobs report and earning seasons? How likely do you think such a...

Or do you think the market will fade today's rally over the next week or two? I'm really divided. On one hand, the market was dropping in large part because of fears over European debt. Therefore, it stands to reason that the bail out will get the market rising again. On the flip side, the...

Just curious - what "tons of good trades" are you seeing? I've been kind of absent/out of sync lately, so I don't have much on my screen.

I'm confused. You know some inside info regarding upcoming products ... yet you to people who don't have your inside info for advice?

If royalty trusts can get around the double taxation issue ... why don't more companies register are royalty trusts? What's the drawback/limitation on being a royalty trust (or REIT for that matter)? Also, are LLCs allowed to be publicly traded, and if so, do they retain their tax advantages?

I don't see any threads on the jobs data release tomorrow morning. Reading today's WSJ and watching some CNBC, a lot of traders were making a huge deal about it. Frankly, I think it's stupid. I'm not sure why anyone would want to hold over the three day weekend, given how much they've...

Front running, taken literally, refers to a broker who breaches the duty to his own client. Flash trading is potentially the same idea though - it's possible for a third party to see the order flow and step in front of it. Used loosely, the term front running describes them both. As far as...

Hey, I received my copy today. Thanks a bunch, looks like a good book so far. Just curious - what promoted your act of kindness? Blue Bull
