    I'm trying to position myself defensively for this upcoming correction everyone is talking about. Are TLT and AGG decent smaller "side" positions along with cash heavy and a moderate position in SH? If my logic is wrong can you explain why?

    Alcatel-Lucent, is there and basis for the gain?

    I bought ALU a couple weeks back because the nasdaq was in such a rally mode and it was on an ML AM call update. I am up 34% in just a few weeks. I have been very busy and have not been able to do any looking into it. Does anyone know what's driving this run up? I want to take some money off...

    NY Investment Bankers in the snow?

    Just curious, I know a lot of people who did not come into work today because of the snow in non-financial jobs.

    I'm still very wary about this economy, but I also think that in the short run it could go up. In the long term either oil will fall and it will continue to go up or we are going to be kind of screwed. That said what do you guys think of Sony? Is it too late to buy?
