    "Always be fading"?

    Trying very hard to learn this. This thread is great, thank you to all the posters. Looking at FSLR. I am very new to this, so my choice may be poor. But thanks again for all the posts.

    Wachovia (WB)

    I grabbed some WB looking for a buyout, new Ceo announcement made me dump next morning. I thought it was a quick chance, proved me wrong and I was gone. Still possible with JPM wanting exposure in south. GS has them prepped for sale, Bod seems to me... overplayed their hand by waiting and...

    Starbucks closing 600 stores

    I'm short. Growth stock is no longer. P/E to high imo. Earnings may be bad, but either way holding this short until 8. When it drops below 10 I will tighten stop. Middle class aspirational retail/coffee can not outperform in this market, this is why I hate the P/E.

    Abolish the Fed: The Man Responsible for Our Crisis & Thomas Jefferson's Warning

    Barron's cover story - a contrarian sign???

    The guy has a 3 instead of an E in his name. How can anyone bet against him? I bet last week blew out his account.

    Its time to get back into the brokers, banks and financials

    Well this kinda bottom feeding is why the market isn't breaking hard to downside. Once the bottom feeders are out of money, which shouldnt be too long, it will go.

    Its time to get back into the brokers, banks and financials

    I grabbed some WB calls in case of a buyout by JPM, other than that I'm shortin away. Lots of meat on the bone on some of these regionals, whose credit is locking up.

    Energy is the way to go here. have a cant fail stock for you. Ticker ENE the street beat on it a bit, but I believe all the bad news is now priced into the stock, and we should get a nice bounce.

    Refiner Insiders Buy Most Stock Since 2000 on Oil Bet

    I wouldnt touch these until rate hike, so not for a long time. Certainly not till next year. Oil may indeed brake down, but I wouldn't put my money on it. Better trades out there until rate hike.

    Forced to buy a banking stock...

    Retail have to be WB. Feels like they have a target on their head for a buyout. But... do they get taken out at a nice price or get bullied into only selling pieces like retail, leaving them, and longs in a tuff spot Brokerage would be JPM they secretly run the world lol, and see above

    VIX over $30 Thursday

    I thought today and last Fri would be a big step down then choppy. The amount of buyers amazes me. I wonder if we dont see the new low until after the summer. I cant see how this is held up. They are buying 09 recovery now, the market may need to take in some 3rd quarter data for them...

    Barclay's bank says "head for the hills"

    I hesitate to post anything about the Great Depression because most traders would dismiss it offhand, but if you are interested read this speech http://www.federalreserve.gov/boarddocs/speeches/2004/200403022/default.htm It shows the "box" the Fed is in and Bernake's study of the great...

    Barclay's bank says "head for the hills"

    I dont agree with many posters arguing to raise rates. If they raise rates the market would collapse, unemployment would skyrocket. We are in serious trouble but raising rates would be the nail in the coffin. Refer to 1929 Demand destruction, moderately rising unemployment, tougher...

    WTF - Fortis, RBC, Barclays, GS - all calling for a FINANCIAL MELTDOWN!!!!

    Great post. Bernanke is fascinated with the Great Depression and is a great Economist, but he is trapped. Not saying this correction will be as bad as 1929, but imo 1987 is a good starting point.

    Brand name American Companies getting crushed

    Dividends are a trap here. I would not be buying good companies in a bear market. I would be shorting weak ones. Not that complicated, but good luck anyway.
