I have a few naked puts on....NEM,,,HL...GOLD MINING STOCKS and will be put to, but I love it. What a dilemma to be in,,,,having to sell me gold stocks and watching it rise over $80 in one day. Having to buy Newmont Mining at 45 and then watch go back up to over $1,000 per oz will really be fun to watch, as who is protecting the almighty dollar?

Why are we building any houses? This bubble shouldn't work itself out until the number of people who can afford a house grows to fill the inventory. Perhaps there is some migration from one region to another, but that's it. ReplyWall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News [view article]

Ditto. Yesterday I suggested buying gold and my long calls grew fat.And I repeat, the domino effect in the financials has just begun. With over 1,000 trillion dollars of derivatives around the world, some of which have sold for 25 centys on the dollar, the losses reported so far are the bare tip of the iceberg.
And with central banks pouring in additional liquidity the problem cannot be fixed. Heck, the problem grew because of excess liquidity. Too much money chasing questionable derivative "investments"...
And yet again, the World Bank studied all global financial crises over a 30 year period - over 100 incidents. They concluded that in every case the crisis was prolonged and deepened prportionately to the amount of money the country threw at the problem to try to fix it. Anyone who expects this crisis to work out differently might try the view sans the rose colored glasses.
What Paulson and Bernanke are doing is pouring gasoline on the fire. This is, pure and simple, corporate welfare, financial socialism."Free&q... market economy my youknowwhat. This will end badly. Worse than if the meddlers in DC had stayed out of the fray.
Ultimately, credit default swaps must be outlawed. The only reason companies would buy such opaque "investments"... as there are in the heap of dubious derivatives, is because somebody would insure them. Markets need to go back to "caveat emptor" where buyers do their due diligence to determine the true worth of something before they "invest" billions of shareholder or investor dollars in it. Reply

Eli, no comment about Gold or GLD after the rocket ship took off? ReplyCKE Restaurants: On a Roll in Tough Economic Environment [view article]
Don't you think it was curious that they had a big drop in interest expense even though the debt level is up? The interest expense amounts to a 2% interest rate on their outstanding debt, which is abnormally low. The explanation can be found in their 10Q. The co. recognized a non-cash gain on interest rate swaps of $2Mn this quarter, which contributed all of the "beat". They had a similar situation last quarter too. In the past, when this item was a loss, the co. was quick to point it out. Now when it's a gain, they quietly sneak it in, and gullible investors lap it up.

Is this quote from LEN management a ray of hope on the horizon?"...aggregate levels of impairment and losses are more the nature of clean up rather than reconciliation to unknown market conditions. We have done the heavy lifting on impairment and are now situated with stated assets that can and will produce improving margins when the rate of declining market pricing subsides. We are very confident that even with continued degradation of market conditions our stated asset base will not suffer nearly the levels of impairment we saw in 2007."

This excellent report, being more concise, is getting better. Still, I would offer a minor suggestion. Lead off with world market, then follow with pre-mkt earnings report, then company writeups. ReplyCKE Restaurants: The Case of the Missing Interest Expense [view article]

Thrre were a lot fewer McDonalds and Burger Kings in 1956. We had to drive 30 miles tothe closest one. ReplyProvocative Finding: Fast Food Doesn't Make You Fat [view article]
This article has nothing to do with investing.Having said that, the research paper (published five months ago) misses the point. Anderson and Matsa conclude correctly that it is the individual's eating habits that are the main contributor to obesity. Those that eat more at home will consume more outside as well.
The question the study should have addressed, that it so conveniently sidestepped, is whether or not 'portion sizes' in restaurants have influenced what is considered to be a normal calorie intake at home as well. In other words, has calorie intake per meal increased or decreased with the advent of fast food restaurants becoming the accepted norm and not the occasional splurge.
If people model their meals at home after servings sold in restaurants that compete with others for 'bets value' appearances, this could be a major contributor to the obesity issue.
