Drop the cash for MFRI

Comptalk- you might want to keep your eye on the pullback on SIM. That stock is vicious and will selloff while every other steel stock is strong.

There was an article in the most recent edition of The Economist that I skimmed over. The article states that interest rates are historically low due to China saving lots of loot, a balance of payment surplus and buying lots of treasuries. It didn't say anything about recession or the like...

Interest Rates rose throughout the 70's and early 80's which was a time of stagflation. The basic idea is that when foreign countries stop buying treasuries then rates would rise. Is China purchasing most US treasuries with a balance of payment surplus? Would it still be buying if that...

Let's say China and many of the other countries that are buying US treasuries go into a recession in the next two years. Let's say they have less money to buy US treasuries because their balance of payment surplus is eliminated. Bond prices drop and rates rise. plausible?

I like BF.B and MIGP long, CCRT and ACF short (long holding times on the shorts). MIGP would be short term dump. My final pick would be cash.

An area with a job base that is insulated from an economic downturn and hasn't appreciated much during the boom should do ok. Some place like Houston, TX or some small town without a retirement community and next to a military base might hold up. One horse towns with dependable jobs like those...

A large swath of the population may casually play sports at some point, but only a slim margin have a lasting and lucrative career no matter how well supported they are. Half of the population played baseball or football as a kid, and half of the population has stock exposure as an adult...

It's worse in other countries. I knew someone that grew up in a Rom camp on the edge of a Bulgarian city. He grew up eating carp from a highly polluted river. Maybe that's why he was an a- hole.

You can buy a pound of good marijuana in Vancouver, BC for, say, $1500 bulk wholesale. Figure a way to smuggle it to LA, Vegas or Phoenix where let's say it goes for $4000 a pound wholesale. If you double your money each time, don't get nabbed or offed you will only need to make 5 trips and...

I recently read in the paper that a portion of rural WA might contain the largest Natural Gas field in North America. Encana and several other companies are in the final stages of testing and will know by next year. The preliminary results as reported by non- shills is encouraging. I'm not...

I've enjoyed Caro's Book of Tells and The Poker Face of Wall Street by Aaron Brown. I haven't, however, even dented the literature for newbees that's out there. I also have this simulator software that's real good. I forget who it is by. In the software dept., I would not recommend Stacked...

This 19 y.o. guy I used to work out with just spent $240k on a condo in Kent, WA (the Ingleside of Seattle). He's moving in with his girlfriend, but even if he wanted to rent it out he would be at least $600 cash flow negative/ month. His goal is to flip it and maybe buy a new BMW in a year...

Rennick... was that "subsidized" trading then?

Just curious... did you buy an option contract or was that a forex grand slam? Was he over 18 at the time or was it... gasp... an UGMA account? I once ran $800 to $7200 in a few months trading strictly stocks but that was '99.
