One thing not mentioned so far: this latest expansion is totally due to some selected major industries (and government) growing wildly. However, other sectors are shrinking or they are under huge cost competitiveness. So, it's a HAVE and HAVE-NOT economy which on THE AVERAGE looks good. In my...

Remember this ? Citigroup Eliminates Stock Technical Analysis Group http://www.thestreet.com/stocks/brokerages/10209532.html

Sorry to fess my ignorance here...but what is the difference between a SYNTHETIC straddle and a REAL straddle ? Can you detail the positions for each of these strats ?

Why ? You have the preverbial crystal ball or something ? Why not sell both out of the money calls and puts for instance ?

EXACTLY....the SEC is interested mainly in it's OWN WELL BEING as a government entity....NOTHING LESS. It does NOT want to DIE....so it will take any action, make any decisions towards that goal.

Agreed, but you're missing the main point: now that Hedge Fund regulation is dead, they (The SEC) have NOTHING TO DO. So, to keep their bureaucratic jobs, they've had to come up with SOMETHING. As you can see, unbridled bureaucracy leads to more bureaucracy....and yes, sometimes with disasterous...

FAST MONEY forced to change show times. THIS IS A BAD OMEN. Terrible calls like shorting XLF 10 weeks ago, and shorting GM 10 weeks ago ("GM in the teens") has killed the show already.

Hmmmm...this project looks like something to fill the empty time of useless government workers at the SEC who collect big salaries. I wonder if the MARKET (traders, hedgefunds, etc.) really sees the need here and the benefit ? I can't imagine the disaster that could occur should the equity...

This is not true....they only do this for SOME of the picks....short GM and short XLF 6 weeks ago are still open and losing trades not discussed....ever again. Same with Strazzini's infamous "sell all calls" 2 weeks ago. What's that have to do with the tracking and credibility of the...

But....there is absolutely no mention of who is doing the tracking...and Landmark Associates does not show-up in GOOGLE searches in any trading or investment capacity. This is looking "bogus"... I sent them a note asking them to come forward with some identity.

Of course....why : It's now an EBAY company....and they stink too...especially for a monopoly. (see Ebay's stock price for confirmation)

I am NOT SAYING THAT. I am saying to both give them a chance, but to also track their record closely, that's all. Ratigan is pulling a "Cramer Mad Money" act of sorts with lots of emphasis on the winning recs, etc. and again, Cramer's program's recs are not being tracked either. Heck, maybe we...

Yeah, but no one is tracking their NET profits and performance. Plus, if you've noticed, the stocks recommended for a long position almost invariably go up the next day. So there is a huge bias to be accounted-for as well. As far as: "..and some would even be adding". Uh, isn't that a form of...

Well then...that leaves the "technicals"......TRADE ON THE TECHNICALS ? Let's see....Louise Yamada's technical analysis department was recently disbanded... hmmmmm......just more proof of the "Bogusity Factor".

My initial post just reflects what I am thinking Wallstreet is about lately: Bogus. The "Bogusity Factor" is at an all-time high....from prop trading rip-offs, the stupid PDT rules with the SEC, to all of the exchanges that are operating like Casinos....and just printing money as volume...

Yeah, but from the show's standpoint, EVERYONE is making money, and NO ONE is losing money. THIS IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE. That's all. And when I try to remind them of that fact, they ignore it. Bogus. They should rename the show "Bogus Money".

Exactly...and IBD's recent market analysis concurs.

My beef: None of the losing recs are getting mentioned or tracked. I'm massively short GM and XLF from their recs 2 weeks ago...look at the charts. I'm getting CRUSHED. Get this: when I send in an email to fastmoney@cnbc.com all I get is an automated reply which indicates to resend the email. I...
