I would take any poll with a grain of salt - they usually only interview 1,000 people (out of 300 million or so). That being said, you left out the link that includes congress' dismal 18% approval rating. "Democrat Congress Ties All-Time Low Approval"...

Also look at the put-call ratios on index options, they haven't been this lopsided since the last time we bottomed. We can and probably will go down from here, but not for long. We've had some down days not just because the financial's went down (they've been doing that for weeks), but...

Haha exactly, these people really are overpaid. The best is when they really stick their necks out - when oil was at $125 I remember reading an article on bloomberg by an analyst saying oil may hit $130. What would we do without their expert opinions?

There's a fine line between "having balls" and being stubborn and not admitting when you were wrong.

Time to buy must be close, we should be back above 1400 within the next few weeks. We couldn't have gone down because of the interest rate comments; if you honestly thought they'd be lowering rates from here you have to be an idiot.

The only good news is that KY jelly is water based. 90% of the country does not have the option of riding a bike or walking to work. Isn't it the democrats that push the environmental agenda, not allowing US Americans to drill everywhere, like suchas, Alaska?

Must be a good buying op coming up

I'm not saying it was a bad call, just pointing out that you tend to make your calls towards the end of the move/trend. I think sideways is more appropriate for the time being as some of the points you made in your initial post (good points) have already been discounted by smart money. If we...

This thread is short term bearish as a contrary indicator because the same people who thought we were going to 1100 several months ago- now think we will be staging a huge rally (after we've already rallied 10-15% off the bottom of course)

if the market does take off, we would have been better off going long rather than short, at the inception of your get the hell out thread around 1350 spx. unless of course you were able to time the bottom perfectly to cover

contrary to popular belief, there is no advantage to selling vs buying options. if there was, why would anyone take the other side of your trade? I'm not saying u can't make money selling, just don't be overconfident

Commodity related stocks have been a huge contributor in the recent rally. If there is a bursting commodity bubble about to happen (or correction), these stocks will probably go down bringing the indicies with them, or at the very least offsetting gains in other sectors. What sector (if any)...

Good video The argument that the publishers use is that its not so much the production costs as the salaries they pay a staff of professors to write the academic books. They also raise prices to offset lost sales due to students reselling their used textbooks. They are still a complete...

Stock, if what you meant was that this is a way to generate more commissions, then I agree. How does a 1 penny auto exercise protect you from yourself? The gain will not even cover the transaction cost, let alone compensate you for the risk of holding the underlying on Monday morning.

The problem with feeling the trend is knowing how far into the trend we are? The "Get the hell out" thread was started roughly 75% into that move before bouncing up from the 1270's. FWIW I agree and think the trend is up but i would not be buying before expiration next week; we will probably...

:D This is why the aerospace and defense sector has had great returns lately. The market anticipates that even if the defense budget is cut, we still need aircraft to drop all this excess money from.

You should change your username to "blaster1tick" :eek:

<b>Why would any oil company actually take part in research and development of anything that would take away from their current livelyhood until that livelyhood is completly tapped out</b> Do you realize that companies have to invest in R&D long BEFORE something is completely tapped out? So...

The concept of hurting the oil companies is a bad idea, typical anti-business horseshit. These are the companies investing in exploration of new oil fields/technology and fuels. These companies are also spending massive amounts of money doing research on alternate energy because they know if...

Good point, he was way off on the housing rebound. He did nail 4-5 buyouts 1-2 months before they were announced though.
