41 Stocks Returning 10% or More Last Week [view article]
Yet again you claim to have read my previous posts where I have stated this numerous times...MetroPCS. We don't sell data so not sure how I would be envious of a "startup" company that sells junk. Once we do start selling data I'm sure Sprextel/Clearwire will be something we talk about in passing...with quite a few jokes!I see you haven't denied working for Sprextel/Clearwire so we're all assuming that's why you're so defensive...good luck there bud!

Ops mgr. of what market...you obviously have network envy issues! Reply41 Stocks Returning 10% or More Last Week [view article]
Actually Ops Mgr. Dr. Ernest Simo is a well respected engineer & author of many books. He's a nationally recognized trainer in wireless technologies. As usual in all my responses to your uneducated posts, try doing some background research before posting crap...again, go back to work Sprextel/Clearwire sales puke! Replydoesn't get

So you're a Cell Tech that gets his information from pamphlets, the internet, and youtube!!! HaHa!! Reply41 Stocks Returning 10% or More Last Week [view article]
And yet again you didn't read my post. I DID NOT dispute any gain Clearwire had the PREVIOUS week. I only posted they lost that & more the week FOLLOWING. Good God dude, READ BEFORE POSTING CRAP! I also ask that you look up Dr. Ernest Simo who indeed also claims that HSDPA uses OFDM in some cases. Again, I don't claim to know anything, I just post my opinions. You can now go back to work Sprextel/Clearwire employee.... Replydoesn't get

Learn how to comprehend what you read before posting your NONSENSE...just like when you claimed HSDPA uses OFDM....haha...you're a joke...WANNABE mister know it all! You've got no credibility here.

InterOil found two very big natural gas resources in Asia (where LNG trades at a huge premium) plus they might very well have ability for a liquids stripping plant and their refinery has turned around. Half the float is short, but the case for shorting seems weaker by the week (we might get a push from the new SEC rules as well). The upside is still very large as the gas has not been priced in and they have many more drilling prospects.We follow it almost on a daily basis at shareholdersunite.com where you can also find many background articles.

We can probably now restate this & say that some lost 10% this PAST week...i.e.-Clearwire. Horrible! ReplyTime To Ban CEOs and Senators from Derivatives Markets [view article]

I have not heard of any airline lowering cabin pressure and thus raising cabin altitude to save fuel. Pressurizing the cabin does not add weight to the airplane. It is illegal to allow cabin altitude to intentionally rise above 10,000 ft. Higher cabin altitudes are uncomfortable for passengers (7,000 ft+), so generally they are avoided if possible. The relative humidity in the cabin (which is much lower than normal) and stress would be more likely factors for your elderly dog's faster breath. Flying at cabin altitudes above 10,000 ft would compromise safety, as lower amounts of oxygen in the blood decrease brain function, which is why oxygen is provided for high altitude flight, in the event of a cabin pressure loss.On Jul 19 03:50 AM Dr. Steven wrote:

Out of the Money - Midday Fast Money (8/12/08) [view article]
Apple is way undervalued, no one is seriously accounting for the iPhone revenue that has already been booked, let alone the run rate they are hitting (with lines still at every outlet, and 22 more countries to come online very soon). Also, new product and revisions in the pipeline in time for Christmas.It will be two years from now before all the money is accounted for from the 3 million iPhone 3Gs sold this month. But that money is Apple's to spend (they already have 20 billion in cash) in the meantime.

Time To Ban CEOs and Senators from Derivatives Markets [view article]
Well said. It's all about the Peter principal. Any clown that whines about speculators is just demonstrating his ignorance and collectivist leanings. Probably a Keynesian, and got his position through cut-throat office politics instead of merit.Well, that's over. After this depression merit will again rise to the fore. Speculation is a holy advocation. It is the foundation of true capitalism (we ain't seen much of that in these huge companies). Speculators add liquidity to markets, damping excesses by taking risks. They are the people that business operators should transfer the risks to, instead of gambling with their profit margins.
Any CEO that spouts this ignorance should be removed by their board. If these guys are not smart enough to calculate at what price fuel costs will negatively impact their operating margins, and use the market for price insurance as it was intended, they better read some Ron Paul.
They are the speculators. Essentially they were short energy and were wrong. Speculating with the capital of their shareholders. It is just incompetence.
If I can lock in a price for fuel that guarantees my margins, I had better do it. If I don't, it is pure negligence,
the tools are there. If you can't manage risk, and get caught with your pants down, go back to school.
Better yet, hire a rogue economist that understands the realities of the market, can use cycles and trends to identify the risks, and understands your business.
My clients didn't get caught with "unexpected" price rises,
because I have trained them to be pro-active risk managers. Anybody caught by "surprise" shouldn't be blaming the guys who provide the grease that makes capitalism work. Or maybe they would prefer the
Chinese system, where gross misallocations of resources are made for political reasons. They will
crash like Russia.
Great article.

What exactly is the benefit to our economy or society in general to have wealthy hedge fund owners, for example, inserting themselves as cost added middlemen in a business where they have no business? Creating a market for Oil? ....not hardly. This type of speculation is merely another tool for the wealthy, influential, insider-informed, few to take from the productive section of society while contributing nothing more than added costs to everyone else.

yes , this article was worthless , and I am not finding anything worth reading from the so-called analysts ......I am curious what people think of AMR right now .....I could sell @ 8.90 and make a decent little lick , but I am wondering if I should get greedy !!!!!! Anyone have any thoughts ?????? My average is @ like 6.50 , and I am thinking of course fuel will come down in the fall , which may bump AMR and CAL up more ReplySlimfast Diet, Airlines Version [view article]
I have observed the occasional elderly passenger becoming short of breath at high altitudes and requiring oxygen. My regular travel companion, an elderly Yorkshire terrier, becomes short of breath on certain airline flights.I am quite suspicious that cabin pressure is often lower than is acceptable for safe and comfortable travel. Decreased pressure decreases the airplane's weight significantly as well as the oxygen concentration in the air aboard.
I've heard complaints from otherwise healthy passengers of experiencing headaches more frequently when flying as well as worse jet lag in recent years.
Have any of you readers of Seeking Alpha experienced physical discomfort while flying more frequently now that airlines are focusing on decreasing the weight of planes as a cost saving measure? Reply
