    The Only Thing In Common Is The Decline: GGP, MOS and HIG [view article]
    It's time to short MOS, MON, CF and the like. They are completely oversold.
    Here's a good article which shows the tech analysis of each with predictions of where they are going.
    Good luck...

    I wonder if these wonderkind MBAs ever learned that "borrowing short to lend long" is the technique for financial disaster. God knows the Savings and Loans industry found out it was untenable even with stable deposit capital at their disposal. Reply

    GGP was doing quite well as long as it could finance long-term assets with short-term paper; now that the credit markets have frozen, that doesn't seem like the best of strategies.
    Their executives, particularly Bernie the super-CFO, showed excessive fiscal irresponsibility by taking an already leveraged situation and loading up additional shares personally with short-term margin borrowing. Whatever bets they placed on financing long-term assets with short term financing (sorry for repeating but it's the "original sin" of finance and deserves multiple repetitions) have come back to bite them in the as.

    MOS is a buy for all the obvious reasons. Growing populations, less arable land and a great cmpany at a big discount. Reply

    MOS still has incredible earnings and margins and is very cheap going forward. This is hedge fund redemption/dumping to the nth degree. Very strong buy here--something tells me people still need to grow food, no matter a global slowdown. Reply

    If we keep telling people the sky is falling and the end of the world is coming, they will begin to beleive it. We don't need anymore losers like Philip Davis. The time to buy is when the market is down if you beleive this country of ours will survive.

    Non-Financials Hit Hardest By the Crisis [view article]
    GGP took a battering in the market on Monday because it has become a proxy for shorting the credit-starved market. Reply

    Thursday Options Update: MS, STT, LM, NAL, GGP, PLD, KG, DO [view article]
    I think you are wrong in several aspects of describing the KG call spread. Even if the stock is above $10 at expiration, it has to be above $10.80 before the trader hits break even. Anywhere above $10.80 (to infinity even) is profitable. Even if it goes above $12.50, it will be profitable. The maximum profit is $1.70 and that profit will be had anywhere from $12.50 and above.
