    There Are Still Some Financial Stocks Worth Considering [view article]
    Hi Ray, Sorry you tried to short WFC, Doesn't work too well. That bank is resilent! Buffet loves this bank. Adding more shares to his portfolio as we speak. This bank has been cash rich for number of years. Very wise when they reach out to buy other banks too. (and they kept their hands in their pockets during all this current craziness!) I actually worked there for 22 years. I was a lender and we gave out gold stars after someone qualified for a loan there! (only kidding!)
    They have accumulated many nice deposit customers from Wamu and Wakovia I hear in the past few weeks.

    Anyone wants to take a look at CATY & EWBC. ?
    These 2 get good grades from ratings. Facts, they deal with mostly Orientals, and home foreclosures is almost unheard of within this community.

    Going long here is madness at best. Yes, all of the stocks today have a certain case for buying, but the question is "where" to do the buy? I suspect we will see "many" more bank failures, the List today has 117 failures forecast, very polite, but likely wrong. The better guess is B credit ratings or less, are all candidates to go belly up; that is about 1600 banks. I think its is too risky, and too early. What if the FDIC or SIPC is unable to cover the fallen? They freeze accounts and or sell the firm. But god the mess and fear if securities decline during the administrative moves? The rich to buy is the rich to die. Reply

    I hate to rain on anybody's parade, but if the news report today on Yahoo that WaMu had a run on the bank is true, then every bank that relies on fractional reserves--which means every bank in the world including WFC (a tough bank stock to short BTW--I got burned trying once!) is doomed. Got gold? Reply

    WFC is a good bank. I am hoping its price will go down to 27 to create a buying opportunity.

    Bullish Dollar Rally - Fast Money Recap (8/15/08) [view article]
    Something has to give eventually. If in the good times, the budget deficit needs a $10.6 E12 cap, how much do you think the recession will require? Think about the Bull in dollars: We just bailed out a bottomless pit (GSE's), Housing is in a death-spiral, not a bottom (use the part of the brain that still can do critical thinking, not the constant part) and the whole banking system is being propped up by playing cards. The dollar is on life support and people are bullish? Based on what? The rest of the world knows our debt will never be paid unless they lend us the money to pay them. I think they're on to us...

    Bullish Dollar Rally - Fast Money Recap (8/15/08) [view article]
    I think you've got it Billy: Simple usually has th best chance of success.
    Politicians have no real interest in alternatives--"Wh... spend a lot of money on something that won't come to fruition while I'm in office and can be reelected on my credits for it??"

    The more complicated the formula gets as every divergent interest puts their variables in and deducts what they don't like the less chance it has of working at all.

    Simple things like T. Boons windmill freeing up X+Methane from a power plant to run your car and =X- imported oil is a perfect example.

    Drilling is a temporary return to past policy and at best will be the buffer we need to gain time for a transition to permanent alternatives.

    The last go around (1970's) we squandered the time --there will be no "easy" next time. We can do what has to be done or we can line up behind fools like Pelosi and suffer the consequences.

    Bullish Dollar Rally - Fast Money Recap (8/15/08) [view article]
    I think the G8 group which met a month or so ago decided to all support the dollar and they are all doing it. The Europeans wanted a weaked Eurodollar for trade reasons and they got it. I think when the Chinese get past the Olympics and get vehicles on the road and factories running again and we start putting oil in the strategic reserve that oil will again go higher. It is sad to hear people say to not drill in Alaska and offshore USA. I know it is not an immediate help for oil prices, but it is sure stupid not to plan ahead for years down the road. It's to drill in California, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Mississipi etc, but NOT in Alaska, Be real. Most of you greenies have never even been there !!! Reply

    Changes in Market Cap for Biggest U.S. Companies [view article]
    Yes indeed the handwriting is on the wall for Apple. This firm will be nearing the top of the largest market cap list in just a few years. The ultra-portable hand held computer market is going to explode and be absolutely HUGE, and AAPL will have a dominate market share not to mention an even much larger piece of the laptop and desktop PC markets. And keep in mind that Apple is also cornering the audio and video download entertainment markets as well. Talk about an outstanding business model.... WOW!! Reply
