Find a cheap way to separate hydrogen from oxygen and all our energy and environmental problems are solved. Why bother with a gas that makes up about 0.04% of the atmosphere and doesn't easily convert to usable energy?

No, but you can buy all the puts you want or if you don't know options you can short a sector with an ETF.

Is there a CEO on the planet that isn't a glorified salesman? I like Roger Penske but even he blows sunshine up your ass when it comes to PAG. If the recession/depression intensifies and continues for another two or three years (I think it will), I don't know how he keeps that company...

Just found this thread and it looks like a decent conversation but I just don't know how anyone could tie up their capital now, planning for inflation, when deflation is staring us all in the face. It's like shorting the NASDAQ in the mid 90's because you KNOW it's overbought. How much money...

So why print the damn story? I wonder how many NY Times readers skimmed the article, totally missed that passage and now think the IMF is mailing checks to the British government.

Because when the economy is healthy their customer base rather not buy electronics from a discount retailer like Wal Mart and Target and there is no replacement for putting your hands on a high dollar item before you buy it. Circuit City going under didn't hurt, either. With the economy...

I was wondering the same thing. If you didn't need the money, where did it go? With a loan from Buffet and the government, you still need to raise capital to repay the TARP loan? Why is that, Mr. Blankfein? It would be nice if the financial media would ask a tough question every once in...

Retail traders are going to have a tough time shorting GM stock.

I don't like it. They beat Q4 earnings estimates by a few cents. I don't think they'll be so lucky this quarter. Besides, they are already up 30% from their March 9th lows and up almost 50% from their November lows. How much higher do you expect this one to go in current economic conditions...

In this choppy market if I make a directional play I prefer to buy a put when I anticipate a pullback. Hopefully the IV is relatively low with the underlying near the top of its upswing and I will gain some theta decay on my DOTM puts when IV increases as the underlying drops in price. So...

If they didn't need the money, why do they need to raise capital to repay the debt and why did management agree to pay Warren Buffet 1 billion a year in interest (not to mention stock options that will probably dilute equity holders)? So far it looks like I seriously underestimated mark to...

In summary, they cut the dividend and they need to raise capital to pay back a loan with a 5% interest rate (never mind that 10 bil loan with a 10% rate), yet they somehow smashed earnings estimates. Gawd, I love the fundamentals.

I pay $1.00 per contract with no cancellation fees with TOS and I hear IB charges $0.70 per contract with a small cancellation fee. At the very least you should call TOS and ask them to eliminate the $9.95 fee. If they don't want to work with you there are plenty of options out there. If...

You need to analyze it. If you are certain of the date the market will drop you will want to purchase DOTM puts that expire in the front month. For instance, if you bought a thousand APR 730 puts for $140K earlier today and the S&P dropped to 710 tomorrow in a dramatic sell-off, you would...

I don't buy into that crap. I've read the books and heard the lectures and still I don't buy into that crap. As far as I'm concerned it's rhetoric created and spread by sociopaths to rationalize their behavior. I don't know you so I'm not saying you're a sociopath. You're probably just well...

Yeah, when I heard about this ass clown, I wondered what his screen name was on ET. Makes you wonder who's on the other side of these juvenile posts that flood the forums. Too bad he didn't swallow a bullet in the end, instead of wasting more tax dollars. I can't imagine what the family of...

April is the cruellest month, breeding Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing Memory and desire, stirring Dull roots with spring rain. Winter kept us warm, covering Earth in forgetful snow, feeding A little life with dried tubers. Obviously T.S. Eliot was a trader.

AZO dropped 10 points today while the market rallied. Tomorrow should be an interesting day for those long AZO. Might just see them fill that early March gap.

Pretty much spot on. I'd say something to that other guy, but I don't think he can hear me with his head stuck so far up his own ass. China has boxed itself in. They're late to the game, they lean on their huge population for what amounts to something slightly better than slave labor, they...

That sort of thinking is a little near sited, don't you think? Maybe you can get a job at GM. You'll fit right in.
