DRYS market cap was 1.10 Billion before the offering. Add 500 million and your up to 1.6 Billion. Not a bad price for a stock that sells for around $80 a share during more normal times. Problem is business is slow. Aside from shipping our LOW priced commodities (mainly copper) to China and...

I'm with you Blue. Too short to early. Along with Goldman's Creative Calendar, I'm getting worried about the Creative Accounting brought about by the elimination of Mark to Market. I went short thinking it wouldn't take long for the street to figure out that so many banks could not be so well...

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Cramer IS an IDIOT. But what about Larry Kudlow? He gets some great guests and it would be nice to hear what they have to say, especially when they disagree with him. Instead, he would rather rant & rave about "The Upward Sloping Yield Curve" and "Even a Banker Can Make...

Come on guys, anything more than charts. Maybe some logic, rationale or otherwise?

Thank you, a good answer. You're sure right about the many upticks, I counted 49 upticks in 1 minute with CITI on a down day. I think we should remember that the rule was abandoned shortly after they did away with fractions. Remember when IBM sold for SEVEN & ONE EIGHTH or Xerox was NINE &...

Sorry, you must have missed to opening portion of the question you smart little NUMBNUT you. A change in the uptick rule is a "CHANGE". Traditionally, folks have a tendency to avoid change. IT AFFECTS PRICE PRICE AFFECTS "PURCHASE" Ya'll Surdo must no that

Where are the smart guys. What will happen to the Ultra-Short ETFs when the uptick rule gets reinstated? When & how good or bad?

Will somebody wake me up? I have been thinking all along that with millions of home foreclosures, abandoned housing tracts, and the printing of Trillions of $$ so that we can borrow from our own debt, that we had the SUPPLY pretty well sewn-up. I think that once my neighbor gets one of those...

THE OTHER GUY WAS CLOSER. TACO BELL IS CHEAPER THAN PET FOOD. HOW ABOUT JACK IN THE BOX, IS IT STILL OWNED BY RALSTON PURINA? LONG LIVE PURINA PEOPLE CHOW!

I take all my negativity back. Actually, after thinking about it more, this change will be good for me. Once the bank revalues my home I think I'll take out a home equity loan and buy some Gold Plated (maybe solid gold) fixtures and then put the rest away for taxes.

Think of all the money that could have been saved! Screw the CEOs, we should have eliminated the M.T.M. RULE from the onset, sent all of the accountants on a $500 Billion excursion to Fantasy Island and told them there would be huge stock incentives when they came back with BOOKS that reflect...

I gave my longs a 30% haircut today and I'm happy. Had the whole farm on limit sells today and came real close this afternoon with all of them. I'm still confident, (3 more trading days before most of the quarterly losses start reporting) hopefully our Govt. buddies won't come up with a new...

I've been out of the market since 2002, my last broker was "My Discount Broker, if anybody can remember them (kind of like 8 Track Tapes). Any way, I've just started a new Cash Account with Scottrade and I'm dealing with a "3 Day Settlement Period" under the guise of "Regulation T". Are all of...

Are you counting on Tim Geekner for clarity?

I'm very sorry the banks used to finance anybody with a pulse. However, I'm pretty sure these people (most of them anyway) were able to read. If they had read their contract, which incidentally is part of "Due Diligence", there would be no "Payment Shock" excuse. Where Rick failed in his...

I'm with you 110% little guy! Why don't they reduce the Capital Gains Tax to say 2%. Lets get this economy going with a truly free market and not TAXES for entitlements.

What is the general mood about going short SKF Monday morning?

Nationalization is a politically accepted way of saying Socialism. As Margret Thatcher once said: The only problem with Socialism is that eventually you will run out of everybody else's money.

I've been hearing all the gloom and doom about Autos and Banks but what about Retirement Accounts? If you think about it, the public has been encouraged to invest in 401Ks, IRAs, and others since sometime in 1987 I believe. All the while employers have been reducing or eliminating their...

I can't imagine anything else. Although the first TRILLION of the new Spendulis Package seems to have pulled us out of a deflationary direction and into a more normal inflation range (not that normal is good). I think most of that money will never really see the street. The next couple of...
