Take a look at the philly fed data released today. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=a_UaKt9uRWUE&refer=home It came in at -24. Go ahead and make that brave call that either 1) we're not in a recession now, or 2) in the remote case we're not in a recession now, we'll...

AMD isn't going anywhere. IBM or NVIDIA will buy them if they're smart. And they'll buy them before their stock goes back to the 20s or 30s, too.

Say hello to a single phone for both home and mobile use. This was inevitable. The phone rate wars are officially upon us. http://www.nytimes.com/reuters/business/business-wireless-pricing.html Sprint Expected to Undercut Rivals' Call Plans By REUTERS Published: February 20, 2008...

Quoted for posterity.

Short every rally. Banks are not loaning money; credit markets have seized up; inflation is roaring; net job losses are going to get much larger; even the government will have to cut back spending soon; if you only knew (some of you do) how reluctant banks are to make new loans, it would shock...

Read This Before Buying E*Trade posted on: February 18, 2008 | about stocks: ETFC http://seekingalpha.com/article/65006-read-this-before-buying-e-trade Richard Shinnick I have seen several articles written about E*Trade (ETFC) recently and both the articles and comments focus almost...

Anyone have the straight dope on what to expect from RBS? Thanks. I'd appreciate any feedback, comments or links - the more credible, the better, of course.

I take no sides, but damnit, screw censorship of any kind. Can't there be one place on the net where people are grown up enough to either ignore what bothers them, or intelligently and strategically take apart statements or viewpoints that are flawed? By the way, I see idiotic threads all...

Huge problems. Huge. And the same problems are lurking, like so much toxic mold, just beneath the surface of many, many banks here and abroad.

Loading up on more AMD. Great article on Tom's Hardware, by the way - an interesting vantage point from an unusual source (non-trading oriented article).

Thanks Mvic.

The Iraq War will end up costing the U.S. far in excess of 2 trillion dollars. No one knows how much higher the costs, long term, will be. I am not stating a political position nor a partisan opinion; just a fact. Come to your own conclusions as to whether that is money well spent.

Wow, this is tough. There's so much 'worthlessness' that it's hard to quantify, let alone itemize. But, I'll give it a shot. 1) Larry 'Goldi-Coke' Kudlow 2) Jimmy 'the fade' Crames 3) Bob 'Piss-ant' Pisani 4) Maria ' Badonkadonk' Bartiromo 5) Dylan 'the Stutter' Ratigan 6) Mark...

That's humorous but ultimately pathetically sad. I fear for the future of this debt-enslaved nation.

As Lewis Black would say, "If you are the type of person who finds either Bush or Clinton 'inspiring,' you probably felt the same way about your high school principal." Having said that, Obama seems to be the most inspiring and charismatic of the current crop of politicians, IMO. I can...

For the record, I like Obama, but do not yet trust him on tax policy. We need radically lower taxes at all levels of the U.S. - individual, corporate, etc. This will necessitate a MUCH smaller government, at the local, state and federal levels, and a MUCH smaller military - so be it...
