    Nearly 20% of the S&P 500 Now Covered by No Short List [view article]
    To "The World's Worst S.P." It wouldn't be happening ("the socialization of America") if the unbridled abuses of laissez-faire capitalisim hadn't reared their Medusa's hissing head first. It's a matter of necessary checks and balances. (I like your moniker: "the World's Worst S.P."--we're pretty much all of us keeping you company that way. Good luck to you!)

    The socialization of America spreads its wings. Next will be the lines for toilet paper and bread. Reply

    FORD MOTORS should change its name to DROF and move all its operations to the southern states where unions
    are not welcomed. It is the workers who allow the unions to
    screw up their own jobs. Like blindfolded followers.

    Cramer Sees the Light - Cramer's Mad Money (9/4/08) [view article]
    cramer could't see the light on a bright sunny day...why is not recommending the short etfs???? SDS (short S&P) and QID(shortQQQ) have been kicking ass over the last few days...on the long side UWM (longRussell2000) why not hedge oneself this way instead of the dogshit stocks he recommends....the Dow is stuck in a 1000 point trading range (10800 - 11800).....until a significant breakout is confirmed in either direction...playing the technicals with SDS, QID and RUT is the way to go....invest to make money...cramer is all about entertainment and nothing else..he couldn't tell stock analysis from paralysis...which is what he is doing to the uneducated investor..
    WMT is moving up because people that don't shop there normally do so now because they have significantly reduced their budgets in line with this tough economic cycle....the light may be on, cramer....but there's nobody home...
    swap out of HRB for BAC...BAC has quadruple the dividend yield and the CEO does not plan to cut it...and the board approved to spend $3.75B over the next 12 to 18 months to buyback stock...BAC made, yes made $3.41B in Q2...the thinking is clear here....cramer..do your homework,,,

    If so many people are so sure that unions are committing suicide, by striking, why don't these pundits just wait for the strikes to kill the unions? What are the pundits so afraid of, if the unions are "committing suicide?" Won't that get rid of the pesky unions that the pundits so obviously hate? Could it be that the pundits are afraid the strike(s) will (GASP ! GASP! GASP!) succeed? Reply

    If seeking alpha is not affiliated with Jim Cramer then why promote him?
    If you listen and follow Jim's advice you should be almost broke. If you like entertainment talk shows with no substance then go ahead and watch him.

    Does anybody understand the approach that Boeing and the unions have taken over the last several years. While we don't have a national strategy on industries, this would seem to be a key one. It is technologically based, the main competitor is tangled up in European politics and socialism, there are balance-of-trade opportunities, there are national security issues, etc. One would hope that union negotiations take place in the context of general agreements about how much of prosperity or difficulty the owners get (ROI) and how much the workers get (wages). Hopefully it is not totally tactical - like US Steel or Detroit in the 50s. Reply

    I grew up in Flint Michigan and saw first hand how lazy ass auto workers and a currupt unions failed the workers, the city, the state and the country by not allowing new technologys to be used while making it almost impossible to fire workers who were not effecient. Taxes and unions drove jobs overseas and looks like we havent learned a thing.

    The Unions had better think twice about striking Boeing. They have all but killed the Auto industry in the past. The economy doesn't warrant jeopardizing your job with a layoff. Reply

    HRB sold a valuable asset for CHEAP, losing over $500 million + marketing and operational expenses + potential future revenue. Someone explain the financial values here. HRB doesn't make sense. Reply

    agree with captain ccs: the point (a point) of buying dividend stocks is to take advantage of long term compounding. A ten year period would be more persuasive. Reply
