    PFE going up a nickel is like Krakatoa erupting. This stock, hence company, has only managed to perfect achieving the well funded attainment of daily, weekly, yearly, decade long lows. Are they going for a Guinness world record? Saving some dying patent for another year no longer qualifies as successful business management. IMHO Reply

    Mike, I don't know if you read these comments but I want to thank you for the great work you do.

    You also made me some money this year on ISIS. You popped up on CNBC back in April and mentioned that some company was investing in ISIS at $25 a share. You were emphatic that ISIS was going up huge that day on the news.

    I jumped on the phone 1 second after you said that and picked up some ISIS. I sold ISIS 2 hours later and made some substancial bank.

    I'm not rich or some big time trader. You helped me out a lot.

    Once again, thanks for that and all the other good work you do.     Reply

    Icahn's Got His Hands Full with Biogen Idec [view article]
    It looks as if the "Icahn" does not have the best interest of the company in mind---mostly the MS patients or whoever will benefit from the amazing research BIIB is moving forward. Big Pharma would run this long term research into the ground by not properly balancing the short term pipeline and long term research. Reply

    Will Yahoo Settle? Fast Money Recap (5/28/08) [view article]
    I hope MSFT does go in debt to buy Yahoo. As if MS didn't already have their own failed search division, and failed internet division.

    Expect a sucker punch from Apple about that time. Apple has in it's skunkworks, a dumbed down version of OS X that runs on any generic PC. It has far more going for it than any version of windows, still leaves a reason to buy a real macintosh, but could totally destroy MS's marketshare within months. Microsoft still has the toy business to fall back on with the Xbox line.     Reply

    Will Yahoo Settle? Fast Money Recap (5/28/08) [view article]
    Apparently a finance firm Kaufman Bros., with no previous experience in the solar arena, published ratings on 6 stocks in this arena. Notably they gave SPWR (P/E approx. 300 on Yahoo) a buy and SFLR a hold (P/E approx. 100 on Yahoo). Seems questionable to me since FSLR has historically outstripped SPWR in growth and consistently good earnings reports. FSLR may be getting more competition, but so is everyone else. If SPWR is a buy, I would think you would have to consider FSLR a buy also. Yahoo states its actual analyst average rating is 2.2 (a buy). Reply

    STP did not go down on just the Germany news. It had another reason. It just issued $500,000,000 worth of convertible notes. This effectively dilutes the stock value. Natuarally it would go down (at least temporarily). Reply

    Some solar stocks have been downgraded recently due to increased competition. Merrill Lynch kept FSLR at buy even though it is exposed to the "possible" legislative cut in Germany's solar subsidy. This also would bode well for a bounce from this level. Perhaps all this bad news has this solar stock (and others) down in the dumps for the moment. Sentiment can change quickly. Germany is now worried about the cost of their solar subisdy. However, when they balance it against the eventual cost of not having it (i.e. buying oil or uranium instead as they rise in future years), Germany may decide the solar subsidy costs are going to be cheap by comparison. This is without even taking into account the Kyoto concerns, which solar also addresses. Reply

    I probably should have mentioned that the recent run up in solar was largely due to a great earnings being reported by virtually all of the solar companies. Since this run up has now virtually disappeared, one might think there would be a bounce back up. The great earnings were after all very real. Reply

    Also I looked at the TAN (a fairly broad solar ETF). It looks like solar is reaching its support level. Solar had a big run up recently. It has generally been retreating since. The retreat may be nearing its end???? This may depend on where the price of oil goes. However, the TAN support level is overall encouraging for a near term move up in FSLR. Reply

    It does look like FSLR is puting in a short term base this morning. Technically it looks like it could move higher soon as this base is very near the bottom Bollinger band. This might be a good buy point. Reply

    What is really going on with the company? The information that we do receive is what they (board) wants us to see.
