    Future of Gen X/Y...

    Which generation's untramelled greed and me-first atttitude gave us this crisis? The boomers'. Beginning with their whining self-indulgence in the 60s, followed by the narcissistic disco 70s, then the greed is good 80s, and the deregulate we we can grow our 401k 90s... They are they authors...

    Future of Gen X/Y...

    Who could doubt that? I have nothing against the 92-year-olds BTW--they actually produced something. The boomers on the other hand are like an insect plague that consumes all that comes its way, first the wealth of their parents, then that of their offspring. What kind of organism does...

    WSJ: Friday Pretty Much of a Washout

    "There's more room for this market to go up. Don't kid yourselves." It will be interesting to see what happens tomorrow. I disagree with you strongly, but only the market will show us who is right. I believe that we are in a new bubble built on the sand of cheap cash. The engine is revving...

    WSJ: Friday Pretty Much of a Washout

    That's certainly a good thing, although I'm not sure that this bailout is unexpected. Going to check the UK papers to see what they have to say.

    Shorting KCP?

    50% off sale at Kenneth Cole today (11/3) only: http://www.kennethcole.com/category/index.jsp?categoryId=3573954 Strange thing to do. But I imagine that the proceeds can't be shoveled into today's earning release.

    Shorting KCP?

    KCP announces after the close. I shorted the stock for Q2 earnings last year and was well rewarded. When the numbers were bad, the stock totally collapsed. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=126548 Forecasts are for -.01, i.e. this is the quarter that should bring...

    Correction: Quest Capital Chairman buys 413,000 shares AMEX:QCC TSX:QC

    Here's the INK Research report from TD Waterhouse from 5/28/09 concerning insider trading then. The stock gained 26% in two days (I know, because I kicked myself for not buying it). But since then it has sold off, only for the buying to begin again in earnest. 5/28/09 "Since May 19th...

    Quest Capital Chairman buys 250,000 shares AMEX:QCC TSX:QC

    AMEX:QCC TSX:QC Canadian markets still open on this slow day. The stock was an INK Research/TD Waterhouse pick in May because of insider buying. It promptly spiked 20% and slowly sold off. Now insiders are buying again. From SEDI: Sinclair, Alistair Murray 2009-07-03...

    Anyone else long SKF

    I had to buy some at the open yesterday with that groundless rally in financials. Should be up 20% at the open. Sound logic says close out the position now. But my thinking when putting it on is that there is going to be continued bad news for US financials - just didn't expect something...

    The Bottom is in

    :p Ha! That was just a teaser. What I'm wondering is: Where are all the arrogant SOBs (Hello Joab!) who explained to us _last_ time we were here that the bottom was in. Oh, wait, I get it. Double bottom, building support. Soon the institutional money is going to flow in, Dow 10000 by...
