    Prefer a Yield - Cramer's Lightning Round (10/10/08) [view article]
    Cramer is still worth is weight in gold. He always has good directions.
    He had nothing to do with the savings and loan troubles nor did he
    contribute to the recent investment bank failures. He is trying to make
    you money not sort out the lies of Wall St.
    I got out of the market in February. I couldn't have predicted the
    market would crash. It shows things in New York are linked very
    closely with the international scene. A little corruption goes a long
    ways. Keep going Cramer! We're with you!     Reply

    I'd like to know if anyone has opinions on GMS? Its difficult to find any real information about how risky investing in GM senior notes is. As for Cramer, I take him with a grain of salt. Its a fun show to watch. Reply

    Cramer is a "personality"... CNBC would put Lenin's body on TV if they could get their hands on it, and Sue would interview him too.

    As for CHK we must expect problems, Audrey while a builder has used cards instead of bricks. It is still a good gas company.     Reply

    New Technology Makes Natural Gas a Viable Replacement for Oil [view article]
    Hello again Chuck Steak. I was incorporating some corrections into the forthcoming new printing of my energy economics textbook, when I happened to look at a few things in my chapter on natural gas, which started me going through my files.

    The conclusion that I have now arrived at is that there is NO possibility of the US becoming a major exporter of gas. In fact, if the LNG terminals that certain people do not want constructed are not constructed in (or near) the US, then the price of gas in the US is going to escalate, although this may not take place until the present spell of 'demand destruction' (caused by the bad news from the macroeconomy) is passé.

    A month or so ago I was told by someone in Paris that my opinion of the gas situation in the US was right on the money, but like many people on this site I make a point of taking anything coming from the IEA with a grain of salt. Unfortunately the USEIA seems to be working the same side of the street. The good news about shale gas may change a few things, but don't worry (in case you were worrying), a gas export boom originating in the US is out of the question.     Reply

    I recall he put Wachovia on the buy list when he declared financials had bottomed and the housing recovery is less than one year away. Reply

    Hedge Fund Liquidation in Pictures [view article]
    When the first hedge fund went belly up a while back, I dumped all my oil/gas resource stocks that were hedged, except Uranium. I think a lot of oil/gas resource stocks were dumped rightfully or wrongfully for this reason, I learned my lesson from the herd mentality around financial stocks. No where to hide it seems.

    I thought CNBC finally took Cramer off the air when his show was not on TV Thursday. Naturally, I turn the channel as soon as he comes on anyway. I do not understand how anyone can pay any attention to him, nor how CNBC can keep him on TV with all of the horrible advice he has given over the years.

    Cramer is a bag of hotair. About a week ago, on a national business program he told investors to "sell everything. Then here he is recommending purchases. I can remember not to long ago that he recommended Merrill Lynch and Corning. Reply

    CHK also fell related to margin calls on the CEO's holdings. CNBC reported yesterday that the CEO of CHK, Aubrey K. McClendon, known for purchasing large amounts of his company's stock, was forced to sell "essentially all" of it during the past 3 days due to margin calls.

    There is no real evidence (yet) from the reserves or production pictures to accept the position offered by the author and those good people who believe him. Furthermore, what may be happening with gas is the same thing as with oil, where various observers predicted an oil production turnaround on the basis of the exploitation of shale oil or offshore deposits and so on, although with oil that is strictly a fantasy. Naturally, gas may turn out to be different, but at present I personally am unable to believe that - although I hope that it's different..

    I notice that there are some people who do not go along with me on this matter, and as usual I say fair enough. One thing though is clear to me, which is that those people who really and truly know about this topic have the same opinion as I do. I can also note that the concept of energy independence is absurd, assuming that economic theory has any place in this discussion. At the same time I at least partially accept the positions of both presidential candidates (+ Governor Palin) in this matter, and believe like the good Paris Hilton that the best energy policy for the US is an amalgam of their positions - though with the bunkum removed.

    This is similar to what is reported at LIFETIME FITNESS where the CEO put up a lot of his own common shares to get money to run the company. That doesn't sound like something one would do unless they had a huge stake in the company and the company was in financial trouble.

    In Lifetime's case, they had also announced a sale and leaseback of 2 of their properties, raising 50 million. Unfortunately, the stock has tanked daily for 2 weeks, and whomever was holding the shares did a margin call and yesterday sold half a million of the shares, thus driving down the share price even more.

    These 2 isolated incidences don't seek typical of corporate management. When the Feds 'inject liquidity' into a bank, what do you picture? A square building with money now in all the desk drawers? OK now what? Lend it to anybody? That's what got us in trouble. Lend it to Lifetime Fitness because they have a money making company and are still expanding?

    So what's to make that bank lend out their new money? Chances are, the employees don't decide on their whims whether to lend or not. If they don't lend it's because they are restrained by the head honcho, who has just seen other CEO's get canned by the Feds when they were closed that bank. These bosses are simply preserving their own 'jobs' and ridiculous pay bonuses by holding on to all ther cash they can     Reply

    Aubrey K. McClendon, the billionaire chief executive of Chesapeake Energy Corp., has sold "substantially all" of his stock in the company over the past three days in order to meet margin loan calls, the company said Friday. Media reports have placed the number of shares at more than 33 million. But is the company out of cash? Reply

    I don't know McCendon, but I admire him and his company. I like what he and T Boone Pickens are talking about and agree with the idea that natural gas could be at least part of the solution to a national energy policy.

    What concerns me is that if Pickens and McClendon did not see this coming, how could the average investor?     Reply

    ----------------------...
    OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- Aubrey K. McClendon, chief executive of Chesapeake Energy Corp., has sold the bulk of his stock in the company over the past three days in order to meet margin loan calls, the company said Friday.

    ADVERTISEMENT
    The company did not disclose the size of the stock sale, pending the filing of documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

    "I am very disappointed to have been required to sell substantially all of my shares of Chesapeake," McClendon said in a news release. "These involuntary and unexpected sales were precipitated by the extraordinary circumstances of the worldwide financial crisis."

    "I have been the company's largest individual shareholder for the past three years and frequently purchased additional shares of stock on margin as an expression of my complete confidence in the value of the company's strategy and assets."

    McClendon said he looked forward to rebuilding his ownership position in the company.
