      Cramer's Stop Trading - Dark Days for Coal (11/14/08)
      If the useless cramer actually published his abysmal stock picking record, his "nation of sheep" ,who hang on his every worthless prognostication might be startled. Then again, his aurdience is so pathetic, it probably would not make a difference.
      Just a couple of quickies as for instances; BYD @ $65 - His top gaming pick..The egregiously stupid pick; SHLD @ $170, cramer couldn't stop touting this dog stock, FCX @ $80, bought for his tax-dodging "charitable trust", MOT @ $22, he loved this one and MOT's incompetent CEO/Ed Zander ..
      We could name hundreds of his losers - He is purely a snake-oil bozo targeted to the college kids and vaccuous know-nothings that just love this zero ..
      CNBC should be thrown of the air!The station has the gall to follow up with the loser cramer and bring you the 4 horesemen of septic tanks; the infamous Fast Money slimeballs. Sewer rats who do nothing but tout FCX all the way down $100 to $25..Their hidden agenda stock - Ah yes, their recommended buy on MGM at $16
      and the incredibly inane buy of CROX at $10 !!
      Lose your own money - Throwing darts will bring a better return than these losers will ...

      Healthcare, Energy Sectors Shouldn't Fear Obama
      Is Obama really going to discard our number #1 natural resource, coal ? Let's discount his inane campaign remarks. Coal will remain invaluable to our energy needs.
      Coal should not be linked to oil. Yet, the herd on the street dumps coal every time oil falls. Last time I looked we still need to generate electricity. It will be an eternity before alternate power sources ; wind, solar, biofuels can even begin to make a dent in our environment. No matter how much Boone Pickens expects to reap from his wind investments, even his money won't expedite any serious changes in our energy sources.
      Obama has alot to learn abour practicality. Such as : leave the capital gains tax alone, don't stiffle the oil companies because windfall profit taxes do not work..Bama will get real. The horrendous global economy will be his instructor, not left-wing anarchists. And, big-money special interests aren't ever leaving Washington..Money rules in DC despite the promises of the Messiah, things will never change in that cesspool.

      'Too Much House' Buyers To Be Rewarded?
      Rather than borderline snobbery, the writer fails to acknowledge the gist of the problem. Quite simply, there can not be a recovery without housing
      reverting back to the mean. Since we are dealing with a new paradigm, it's not particularly miraculous to realize that the time has come when the government will artificially prop up the housing market. Since the government has artificially propped up the banks, the insurance companies (more to come), the Credit Default Swaps,etc etc etc , the homeowner is more than entitled to relief as well..As for the $50 billion the writer cries about, AIG has already gone through $145 billion (more to come)
      See the Big Picture: Whatever it takes, do it !!
      If some bad apples are in the barrel, so be it ! Life "ain't" fair, is it ?
      Bottom Line:: The only way to save the economy is to save the homeowner...I don't have a "fatal flaw" in this theory - It's called
      Reality ....Get with it, open your eyes !.
      We're in a "new reality" ...

      Down to Three Positions, I'm Ready for End of Bear Market
      Why is the loser posting ? Every time he appears in an article, he is selling at a loss ..If I wanted losses, I would follow Cramer and Fast Money or I
      would simply call my broker..
      Duh, don't we need to see winners ?

      Too Early for Housing Materials - Cramer's Lightning Round (10/20/08)
      Notice that as usual cramer makes a call after a good move...Never did cramer say a word abour BTU or ACI before they moved up..Now, cramer mentions the stocks on the way down ..The grossly overrrated cramer will never change - Basically, he is useless ..A tv "talking bald head" !

      Getting Clobbered: Why I Changed My Investment Rules
      NOV is a stock that I follow closely. Thankfully, it is a money maker that I have been in and out of 3 times these past 4 weeks, last buy was at $22.42 - and I am holding this position ...
      NOV is a great company that I will buy more of on any serious dips..
      A true valuation star ..Once we get rid of the nefarious hedge funds unwinding disasters, NOV will be golden ...

      Why Oil and Gold Are Headed Much Higher
      Gold ? For 40 years we have been hearing about the boundless upward potential price of gold ..Like a broken watch, gold moves up then settles back down into its usual comatose state.
      Gold is a relic and has no place in an investment portfilio (contrary to the talking heads touting gold ad nauseum) .Look at gold stocks which are at their lows ...Proof positive !
      Commodities yes, oil drilling services yes, FCX yes, MMR yes, NOV yes, PBR yes, COP yes, ACI, BTU yes yes yes...Gold: never happen to any lasting, meaningful degree...

      Buy Opportunity in Gaming Stocks: Reduced Targets, Easier Comparables
      Ah yes, we simply had to re-read the inane Ahrens analysis (wrong as ever) ...While Ahrens was "so amused" by our comments in May, do you think Danny is still smiling today, Oct 15th ?
      Sure, one can always say that who knew what catastrophies were ahead of us last May ?..Answer: when it came to the Blatantly obvious losing gaming stocks, a blind man could see it coming !
      Ahrens stupidly states he "knows how to buy low" - Really ? What looked low in May was absurdly high priced now ..Hence, Ahrens obviously knows nothing !
      As for Danny's metaphor about looking out a window, we can only retort "Don't pee on my leg, and tell me it's raining" !
      Stay out of the gaming sector and heaven help you, don't ever follow Ahrens ...

      No Buy Recommendations - Cramer's Lightning Round (10/1/08)
      Thankfully, this snake-oil salesman shut his mouth, for once...
      His picks this past year have been as atrocious as the market ..'Who needs this clown ? Only the sheep out there in tv land !
      Thanks, cramer, I can pick my own losers. Your record has been no better than throwing darts, worse actually ....

      Sarah Palin's Stock Portfolio
      Why would anyone care about Palin's portfolio ..? We only care about Palin because of the slight chance the bimbo might be VP..God forbid.
      Yeah, she's Joe Sixpack ..Just like our village idiot prez was a "great guy to have a beer with" ...Why won't the electorate ever learn ? We are in crisis mode and will be for years to come ..Moose stew just won't get it ....Apparently, a portion of the electorate will never get it either !

      Insiders See Value in Slippery Oil Patch
      NOV is indeed a quality company. If the offshore drilling political battle
      is ever settled in our lifetime, NOV will certainly benefit immensely.
      Right now and for the immediate future, a major hurdle for investors will be the unwinding of the hideous hedge funds who are deep into this stock.
      Thus, thanks to the manipulating, nauseatingly greedy hedge funds, quality will be cast aside as hedge funds redemptions continue to soar.
      Impossible to determine an entry point for NOV because of this situation.

      Ban on Short Selling Could Have Negative Consequences for Options Market
      Completely correct ! Last Thursday and Friday during the "Happy Days Are Here Again" faux rally, I wanted to buy puts on 2 gaming stocks
      which had risen to stupid prices as the herd rushed in to buy anything listed.
      The spread between the bid and ask prices on the puts were so absurd that had I gone forward with the buys, I would have been in the hole for thousands of dollars immediately upon effecting the transactions.
      Naturally, I took a pass on the puts. The 2 gaming stocks later sold off about 60% of their price rises, but still only reached the bid prices of earlier that day ! Insane !
      Impossible to make any money being rational.
      Another unintended consequence appears to be the rise in oil prices since the nationalization of our stock market, The price of oil has now gone back up where it should not be. Obviously, we all are going to pay dearly at the pump as well as increased taxes...Nice double-whammy !
      Naturally, the "nationalization&... has critics on all sides, especially the usual red-meat conservatives screaming socialism. We had to do something to effect a sea-change in the markets. As usual the comatose SEC, especially the astonishingly inept Cox, have now gotten around to noticing some "problems" systemic in the system. Just a tad late on the scene as usual.
      Bottom line is; if you have the Washington cesspool of politicians and their masters, aka: lobbyists, directing our markets, that can't be good,
      can it ? Duh !!

      Great Shorting Opportunities Ahead in Home Builders, Banks
      We are in complete agreement...We all knew yesterday's rally would be ephemeral at best, and today we are back to "normal". Normal, being dreadful. The rally lasted 1 whole day, fantastic !
      With the media beating the "gloom and doom scenario" to death, along with the actual gloom and doom facts, there seems to be no reason to commit dollars to this manipulated and factually horrendous market.
      Shorting does seem to be the only reasonable play in the market.
      To me, the market has become so tedious, so self-abusing, such a waste of money and emotions, that short or long, why bother now at all ?
      We are staring into the abyss. I personally am not betting my hard earned money on the guess that there is "light at the end of this tunnel" any time soon. Of course, if I were a hedge fund manager, I wouldn't care how much clients money was lost. I would only concern myself with December's bonus ! Since it is my money, I do care. The market won't see one dime of my money any time soon.
      Cash is king !
      Good Luck ....

      $300/Barrel Oil Is Coming - Barron's Interview
      Far be it from be to scoff at a respected prognosticator. But 2015, really ?
      I would love to know what is going to happen 7 hours from now, much less 7 years from now !
      Silly to ponder these things, when we have the treacherous, manipulated stock market to deal with on a much more immediate basis .
