If the U.S. goes down, the rest of the world, including Brazil, goes down. 'Decoupling' is a fairy tale myth. The world needs the U.S. consumer now more than ever. Just go ask Asian & European Central Banks.

sonfabitch, I usually don't follow threads like this, but this is pretty damn funny.

Thanks guys. I think I'll pass for now based on the feedback.

Do us all a favor and time stamp your trade(s), no matter how many you make. Be specific. We can then sit back and cast judgment, and you will have a chance to revel in glorious rapture. Have you already entered the trade? It's now 9:00 pm est on 5/11/08.

Anyone here have an optionshouse account? How is their platform? Their prices are damn good. I'd strictly be using it for options trading, leaving equity trading to another platform. Thanks.

Very good article. The regulators have let the fox guard the hen house, and the people that truly believe in peak oil (and are not part of the inside racket) are useful tools to propagate the myths utilized to lever oil futures higher and higher. A lot of politicians and their families are...

Peak oil is a sham. Oil consumption is growing at 3%. Production is now beginning to increase beyond that 3% figure, and will ramp up with new fields coming on line. The world is awash in crude oil. Oh, wait....breaking news... 'Nigerian media sources are reporting that local...

I've been watching this for a while; it's trading at what I consider a crazy multiple given macroeconomic considerations. Others present the thesis that a downtrodden economy will boost the fortunes of companies such as ebay, as more people will sell 'things' off to raise cash in order to...

You are a first class asswipe. Investing is about risk/reward. FMD had an enviable business model, a solid balance sheet, and was caught up in the credit markets seizing up - a credit market seizure that is now so bad that it is causing municipalities to default on their general and special...

Fuck you asshole. Let me know when you guarantee 100% of the stocks you mention are going to run. Stupid motherfucker.

What you are seeing is consolidation. It's clear as day in the charts. The next wave is up. Joe Public has been sidelined, getting negative yield on money market funds, for quite a while.

The Chinese are playing their cards perfectly right now. They're offering cut rate labor and no costs associated with environmental issues, taxes, labor laws, etc., and in return, they're being handed the gift of American, Japanese and German technology - giftwrapped. You are witnessing...

When the retail traders are fully invested the big guns are gone. Retail is only beginning to trickle back in - check the numbers. Retail investors have been completely sidelined for many, many months. The volatility has shaken them to the core. There is a big move up to be had, possibly...

I'll call a top in oil at no higher a buck twenty-five. Preserve this quote and rub it in my face if I'm wrong. Watch as the fed shores up the USD near term, in this election year, and the Bush Admin aggressively twists arms behind the scenes to finally get more crude on the open market...

Deflation has left the port and will be arriving soon (it already has re big ticket items such as houses, cars, etc.).

I said get the hell out on 2-28-08. That was almost exactly prior to a major pullback on all indices. I see stocks with better fundamentals, tons of cash, little to no debt, that have been insanely and irrationally pummeled since then. I expected it in housing, financials, etc, but not...

I can't possibly know that, and guessing is a fool's game, IMHO. I think picking a number is less important than feeling the trend and mood that is driving the move.

Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah. Oil consumption is growing at 3% a year. The USD has only fallen 15% during the same time that crude has risen 50%. Anyone want to dispute those facts? This run up in crude is speculation, pure and simple. There is no fundamental support for these...

There's too much fuel flowing into equities right now. I think the retail money has just actually started to flow back in from low yielding savings accounts, money markets and bonds (including treasuries). As bad as the economy is, with inflation causing negative real returns on savings, tax...

Processed and heavily refined foods kill Americans. Anything that can stay 'edible' in a pantry for months is destined to contribute to early death, despite the chemical and molecular engineers best efforts.
