Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News

Its crazy how everyone keeps chanting "recession is over"..."recovery"..but yet retail sales keep steadily declining, week after week. Whats even crazier, is the simple fact that when discussing YOY, we are beginning to get into the time when things got really bad last year and we still are sloping down. Someone, anyone please enlighten me as to why we are so sure that this thing is over. Hey US govt, is the mind trick working yet..Just because you pump positive news into the media, doesnt mean people will feel all happy and go out shopping...oh thats right, they dont have a job, they cant

Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News

ebworthen,

you couldnt have said it any better. I also firmly believe this is all a big ball of Sh!t. Goldman and the govt are pulling the strings on this thing. They are trying to force positive feelings on people so that they will go out and buy crap...that may work for a few, but not for the 10% that dont have jobs. Doesnt work for the people like me who are skeptical of this whole charade. I have spoken to many small business owners and they all say about the same thing in that they feel this is just getting started and that they ripple effect is just starting to impact them in a major way. I feel sorry for you if you buy into all this...quit reading the biased articles and watching CNBC...that is precisely the vehicle for which they are trying to build consumer sentiment..it is a joke.

Chinese Market Annihilated - Cramer's Lightning Round (9/24/08)

Cramer not bullish on NYX? He is just trying to save face after he made everyone so mad saying it was his favorite growth stock last year. Looking at my position in this stock makes me want to puke every day, but I am confident it will return in a big way, and I think you are crazy for not getting in at these levels...Paying a decent dividend of 3% and change, and the growth opportunities from here are great. The business model is still great, the same as it was a year and 2 years ago. The street just hates this stock, probably more than any other stock. They have been beating this thing up coupling it with the financials eventhough, they arent a brokerage. I know the thought process is that the brokerages will be trading less and less, but the volatility has to make up for that. I would have to think that this thing could be back up to $100 in a couple of years, and 130-150% gain isnt bad....
