There's a Reason There Is No Airline ETF [view article]
I don't know why you think airlines are that bad, I thiink they are great businesses and investments...ok ok ok I was just kidding...you're right they're awful. Maybe they'll make money if they charge $1500 from JFK to LAX, but then who's going to fly?? Not too many ppl, I guess that's their problem and they will continue losing money forever, but I'm no expert so I don't really know. ReplyJet Blue: Analyst Enthusiasm Could Present Opportunity to Sell [view article]
This is simply not the case, but rather the excuse of short sellers and their minions to try to destroy any recovery in a stock, and in this economy at a whole.I am still amazed on why so many have become obsess with the US’s financial demise.

How does Cramer fit in with any serious discussion? ReplyBuy Weyerhauser - Cramer's Lightning Round (8/18/08) [view article]
Cramer,the talking 6-week chart, simply tells people to do was right over the last couple of few weeks.If the trend continues,he is right,else he is wrong.
Right now the market is flip-floping a lot,so he is more wrong than right.

I don't understand why Cramer is around any more. When BA was 100 it was a "buy, buy, buy." Anyone remember? I am sure Cramer doesn't. ReplyTime To Ban CEOs and Senators from Derivatives Markets [view article]

I have not heard of any airline lowering cabin pressure and thus raising cabin altitude to save fuel. Pressurizing the cabin does not add weight to the airplane. It is illegal to allow cabin altitude to intentionally rise above 10,000 ft. Higher cabin altitudes are uncomfortable for passengers (7,000 ft+), so generally they are avoided if possible. The relative humidity in the cabin (which is much lower than normal) and stress would be more likely factors for your elderly dog's faster breath. Flying at cabin altitudes above 10,000 ft would compromise safety, as lower amounts of oxygen in the blood decrease brain function, which is why oxygen is provided for high altitude flight, in the event of a cabin pressure loss.On Jul 19 03:50 AM Dr. Steven wrote:

The Airlines' Recent Death Defying Actions [view article]
Two days ago, JP Morgan recommended people overweigh their portfolios with airline stocks. Today LCC sells 19 million shares plus to Lehman. Is this the old pump-and-dump?In July when LCC was at $2 and everyone considered it a dog-with-fleas, no one liked it. Today it is Lehman's little darling that everyone should own. A stock being talked up by a brokerage is really creepy.
Once oil is done going down, I am afraid there will be little reason to own this group of companies. Today oil closed at $115 and is headed down as of this comment. Today T. Boone Pickens puts oil's bottom as low as $110, but not $100.

Time To Ban CEOs and Senators from Derivatives Markets [view article]
Well said. It's all about the Peter principal. Any clown that whines about speculators is just demonstrating his ignorance and collectivist leanings. Probably a Keynesian, and got his position through cut-throat office politics instead of merit.Well, that's over. After this depression merit will again rise to the fore. Speculation is a holy advocation. It is the foundation of true capitalism (we ain't seen much of that in these huge companies). Speculators add liquidity to markets, damping excesses by taking risks. They are the people that business operators should transfer the risks to, instead of gambling with their profit margins.
Any CEO that spouts this ignorance should be removed by their board. If these guys are not smart enough to calculate at what price fuel costs will negatively impact their operating margins, and use the market for price insurance as it was intended, they better read some Ron Paul.
They are the speculators. Essentially they were short energy and were wrong. Speculating with the capital of their shareholders. It is just incompetence.
If I can lock in a price for fuel that guarantees my margins, I had better do it. If I don't, it is pure negligence,
the tools are there. If you can't manage risk, and get caught with your pants down, go back to school.
Better yet, hire a rogue economist that understands the realities of the market, can use cycles and trends to identify the risks, and understands your business.
My clients didn't get caught with "unexpected" price rises,
because I have trained them to be pro-active risk managers. Anybody caught by "surprise" shouldn't be blaming the guys who provide the grease that makes capitalism work. Or maybe they would prefer the
Chinese system, where gross misallocations of resources are made for political reasons. They will
crash like Russia.
Great article.

What exactly is the benefit to our economy or society in general to have wealthy hedge fund owners, for example, inserting themselves as cost added middlemen in a business where they have no business? Creating a market for Oil? ....not hardly. This type of speculation is merely another tool for the wealthy, influential, insider-informed, few to take from the productive section of society while contributing nothing more than added costs to everyone else.

I like your "strategy" ideas, but that doesn't do us much good without a an actual product to invest in. How about a preview of the three ETFs that are in registration? ReplyA Global Transport ETF Strategy [view article]
