Underdog Smallcaps: Potential Short Squeezes [view article]
Is it correct that1) short selling is legal,
2) naked short selling is not,
3) the damage is best done by massive naked short selling,
4) the SEC put out some temporary rules last month to protect vulnerable financials from "excessive naked short selling damage"
5) those temporary rules only protected a relatively small group of companies
6) those temporary rules ended about a week ago
7) they are now planning new rules to control short selling after the miseries of Monday, 9/15
----------------------...
8) the new rules will be a new way to enforce the laws that have existed all through this insanity?
Please which piece am I missing? Why is it not possible to enforce existing laws against a practice, but it is possible to enforce temporary "rules" against that same ILLEGAL practice? Reply

If cheap oil made this country rich, expensive oil will make it poor. I like tobacco, energy, communications and food stuffs. Reply5 Sectors That Do Well in a Shrinking Economy [view article]

Most institutional investors I follow agree with Stockarati. Of course, they are the ones manipulating individual investors and making all the money. Reply5 Sectors That Do Well in a Shrinking Economy [view article]
The tobacco sector has traditionally been a safe investment during recessions. Given the tight correlation between global economies, US is an integral part of the current global recession and market decline.My recommendation was tobacco is a good sector to invest in and I like PM. However, Joe's got a fair point and I understand why it was interpreted this way. I should've clarified the point better,
This is fantastic feedback and is very useful for me. Thanks much. Reply

While I think PM could be a good investment, they don't sell their products in the US. The company that spun them off, Altria, does. So to say PM is a good buy because the US economy is tanking, isn't good logic. Reply5 Sectors That Do Well in a Shrinking Economy [view article]

Well, when you have written a real article and not just rattled off "how to analyze stuff" from one of the million websites, let me know. Then we'll talk. I expect all readers to do their own research and make their own decisions and NO, I dont want to make a career as a blogger, Peter. Unlike you, I've a real day job :) Reply5 Sectors That Do Well in a Shrinking Economy [view article]
I don't write articles. I perform real analysis with real numbers for a fund. If you ever write anything that is more than simpleton assertions I will be shocked.For example, this is how real analysts do their homework. You could have gone back to past recessions and demonstrated using real numbers how those sectors you've highlighted have historically outperformed the market. Furthermore, you could've done some simple relative value analysis (PE, EV/EBTIDA, Cash Flow multiples, I'm sure I've already lost you) and shown the particular equities you've highlighted are undervalued.
But that would have required real analysis, something I'm sure you are in capable of. Go on making assertions without any backing and posting childish responses, I'm sure you're going to have a long career as a blogger. Reply
