    Option Traders Boost Bets GE to Drop 50% by Feb. 20 (Update1)

    I watched GE today, Rimm as well: usually options expiration work is done on thursday, but today was quite interesting as many "interests" were at play trying to square up their portfolios. I bet GE climbs hard next week--next three weeks in fact. It is a group of players attacking same...

    Best Short-Term ETF for trading crude oil spot price?

    Could have made ~7% in USO today, a lot of hype regarding USO Contango. Bottom line, USO moves with market & Oil, plus huge short interest. I wouldn`t be surprised if it hits 31 in 3 weeks time, shoot if next weeks inventory is another draw we will be there by next Friday!

    Oil could be about to make a move?

    that was before India & China---China is hurting but make no mistake China is going to eat up deamnd for all commodities---they pass stimulus bills which are infrastructure based, not like US.

    Oil could be about to make a move?

    every airline has no excuses for fuel taxes going forward, start hedging like southwest did the last time oil was too cheap relative to long term fundamentals.

    Oil could be about to make a move?

    Support would have to hold for that to happen and some sort of positive news. There is no positive news. Geitner will come out with some resolution for the banks next week -march the latest-- one possibility. bottom line GE is not a $9 stock----valuations are wrong here--GE moves up to...

    Oil could be about to make a move?

    Pro`s: 1) Contango narrowing 2) Market way oversold--Dow--even if GM,C, BAC go to 0 only 70 dow points in total--pretty remarkable actually. 3) We are do for a 1500 point rally--maybe beginning of March this starts to happen. 4) Inventory report drawdown--supply is 8% lower yoy from...

    UBS settles tax case, gives up 19,000 US Tax cheats..........

    The tax could have been 10%, and these same people would still try to figure out how to cheat the system. If it was really 10% it wouldn`t be worth the trouble, they probably pay 10% just to hide the money in opportunity costs, and ancillary wasted productivity. Can you honestly say that...

    This is what stimulus plan should have been!

    Invite the top 1000 largest firms in US to Washington, give them 2 weeks to put together any projects that can be started in next 3-6 months, with job created pro formas, project scopes, etc, and then the government pick the best projects that will create the most jobs, are central to...

    when is dow jones going to boot gm for GOOG, citi for Cisco

    enough is enough, GM needs to be ousted within a week, industrial is meant in the sense of "Captions of Industry" not strictly speaking "Industrial" type companies. How about Excelon then, a solid company?

    Ralph Nader: tax the speculators

    There are so many "value assumptions" inherent in that Nader quote that he doesn`t even realize are value assumptions.....he thinks they are facts of nature. Total Moron who went to a nice school, blue-blood----but thinks like the herd--and is becoming more incoherent and irrelevant every year...

    Oil longs

    I believe we get a stimulus bill before cl opens Sunday, money comes running into commodities equities futures Sunday night. Crude gets a slight pop Monday, maybe slightly more, on first half Tuesday, then Sells off before Cushing data on Wed. 6mm, 6mm, 7mm these builds are keeping prices...

    BAC - Is there an options play over the next 2 weeks?

    With any kind of relief from a non-diluting solid bank plan, and this thing could have a nice jump before Feb Options Expiration------too risky?

    Bad Bank Plan on Thursday!

    Moral of the story: never trust Gasparino or his "sources". He came out on Thursday and Friday with some "doubts" that it was going to go through, and it tanked the market and financials both times. Hopefully he can STFU I thought the market was going to sell off late Friday due to end...

    Bad Bank Plan on Thursday!

    right now if banks get these assets off their books and borrow at 0% and lend at 7% with 20 to 1 leverage, as long as they make prudent lending decisions for the next 8 months until the economy starts to re-energize and companies have more stable order book visibility going forward (meaning they...

    Bad Bank Plan on Thursday!

    Friday 25 minutes before the close MAY have been an excellent buying opportunity if Obama doesn`t screw this up like he has so far with the bs house version of the stimulus plan. I have more confidence in Larry Summners though to get this done in the right manner...

    US Banks Level 3 assets

    Citi said their capital ratio`s were fine, then needed to sell profitable assets for capital raising. They are either lying about what`s on their books, or the problems are far worse than just level 3 assets. I think it is a combination of both those, and their profit models with...

    Blacberry`s #`s were actually pretty good--considering E&P Sector

    Money really started flowing out of that sector today, after earnings hits---My thesis is some of this money, and cash on sidelines starts coming into Rimm----what other alternatives are there by comparison? If it breaks 60, then it probably hits 80 in 5 weeks in my opinion. Any thoughts.....?
