Mark to Fantasy definitely played a role here. But profits are definitely not due to some kind of government/regulator/accounting conspiracy to "trick" investors like some people keep suggesting lol Accept the fact that banks are improving and the financial system as a whole will not...

Have you heard any recent developments on the whole USA starting to sell weapons to India situation? Such as specifically which companies are involved? I've heard LMT's name thrown in the mix, which I am currently long, but wouldn't mind more exposure to that market if possible. Time...

I'll add the disclaimer for you: S&P 500 = over -20% loss during same time period...

I'm not saying Keynesian Economics works or not, nor do I claim to be an economics expert. But how do you explain this: World War 2 got the economy going because the government spent tons of cash on the war effort (building tanks, planes, etc etc). Obviously this created thousands of jobs...

I've been long RIMM since mid February and do still think it has room to run. That being said, I took some off the table after the earnings bump. I would like to buy back in at cheaper levels to be safe. I think $85 is too high but we could see $70 shortly based on last weeks earnings and...

I think the only way to determine if Keynesian Economics is successful or not is to compare the results of this approach with the results of a "do nothing" approach <b>OVER THE SAME TIME PERIOD UNDER THE EXACT SAME CONDITIONS</B>. Since it is not possible to employ both economic models at...

I would have KILLED to go to a college with that ratio!

Cramer doesn't even own stocks period so you are dead wrong... The only interest Cramer has in stocks is his charitable portfolio AA

He probably isn't even short GS he's just a permabear on EVERYTHING.

As someone who obviously knows a bit about the industry, when do you think the market will start to discount any 2011 defense budget cuts?

Compensation should definitely be determined by the labor market, not by government. If shareholders are unhappy with the compensation approved by the BOD, they are free to elect a new BOD or even sell their shares. Now that the government has stuck their nose in, the shareholders (taxpayers)...

LMT still kicking ass.

I am thinking it is your last point that is moving these stocks. The point about increases in the JSF will only benefit LMT. Since the entire industry is up about the same amount I am assuming that news is irrelevant in this. I guess the changes everyone was expecting and had already...

I noticed this jump as well but am not quite clear on why it's happening. Why is the industry jumping on this news? As a general rule I thought the changes would be considered bad news as it is generally considered the Bush admin basically gave the defense companies a blank cheque. What in...

Everybody knows Michigan is getting clobbered right now, this is not a new phenomenon. What a senseless thread. You should be ashamed.

I would be cautious going forward with this one. It's very possible it could keep skyrocketing if investors believe the growth and earnings is sustainable. But I am wary about how much of the good news reported yesterday was due to Verizon's 2 for 1 deal which is no longer available (or ending...

Proof please. Or are you just making this up?

Goldman is no longer a reliable source of information to me. I don't necessarily agree or disagree with this article but I now take everything coming out of Goldman with a grain of salt. I used to value their opinion a lot more.

I haven't followed this stock too closely so my opinion is somewhat uneducated. I am curious, who is the major competitor(s) to GOOG that threaten their grip on internet advertising?
