The problem, as I see it, is that people buy computers, furniture, automobiles and, especially, houses, every several years or longer. But gasoline, heating oil, natural gas, flour, vegetables, beef, rice, chicken, consumer staples, and everything else that has surged recently, they buy everyday.

They quit making it, and yet Eli Broad (whom I respect greatly for being a man with integrity), one of the founders of KB Homes (hence the B in KB), was on Bloomberg today saying that raw land values have fallen roughly by 50% in the last year in most housing markets.

I'm not short oil. I told everyone that before. I don't play in the commodity or currency patches. And fwiw, some of you seem to think the thread title is obvious - look around; there are plenty of people who disagree with you.

Short interest is a great contrarian indicator.

I dare anyone to name (seriously) 3 things Vista does, that you really, really need, that XP doesn't provide. Vista was Microsoft's lame attempt to (again) capture the look and feel of Apple's latest OS. Unfortunately, they not only got the functionality wrong, they didn't even get the...

Those long non-oil stocks (I'm talking direct as possible; I'm not even referring to refiners, which will shoot to the moon if oil falters), should be absolutely cheering for a total break down in crude. At this point, a shoring up of the USD and a collapse in crude oil prices (brent and WTI)...

Sigma is priced for catastrophe, so anything less nasty than such should be very liberating. Some stocks don't get any respect until they grab it by the balls.

That chart... I'm surprised Safari uses as much memory as it does. Also, I agree that FF has a nasty, hanging memory leak - that's why I'm actually excited (it takes a lot, typically) that Firefox 3.0 is set to be released in non-beta form soon. If they repaired the memory leak, I'm all...

suuuuuuure.

Really? There wasn't a global demand for food before? Wow.... And the dramatic price in the rise of basic staples like food in the U.S. and Canada won't wipe out money that consumers would have spent on discretionary items made by some of the very companies your long? Wow....

Hey Jim! How are you doin'? Nice call on BSC.

McClellan is actually very much respected in the Evangelical Community. He also wrote that Rove and Bush used the Christian Right by promising things he knew were important to them (abortion, etc.), but that they also knew they had no plans on delivering - he actually spoke live about this...

I heard that the bsd's at LEH are pissed off at elitetrader.com members for talking smack about LEH.

FSLR is more than slightly off its 52 week high. Google is $200 off its 52 week high. FSLR is $47 off its 52 week high.

I thought FSLR was your favorite play @ 305, stock_trad3r ??? And whatever happened to RIMM, GOOG, AAPL and POT, MOS???

Oil and most commodities are headed for a massive correction very soon. Copper, zinc, nickel, oil, corn - massive corrections. A few others will be sustained - palladium, titanium (an alloy, really), moly - will do well. The oil run created by myths and manipulation is officially dead.

CNBC is such a disgrace. Why don't they mention that FACT when emphasizing rent-a-rebel Nigerian pipeline attacks? At least the madness is close to ending. Lower oil prices (probably returning to the $45 to $55 range) will provide a much needed boost to the U.S. consumer and the U.S. equities...
