    The Fed's Coming Rate Hikes [view article]
    the man who cut 75bps because of Jerome Kerviel will not raise rates while a) an election is coming up; b) house collapse accelerating to the downside; c)financial system continuing to wobble dangerously with every major bank continuously raising capital and KBW index hitting new lows daily.

    I worked at lehman for years. Callan came into the position 6 months ago, long after all the decisions that got lehman into this mess were already made. She doesn't deserve blame for the stock price, she is probably the smartest of the big dogs at lehman. She is just another victim of the system. And promoting mcdade to joe gregory's spot is the second of two pointless move to calm the public sentiment. Maybe its time for Fuld to step down, after all, he is the captain of a sinking ship.

    It looks like the $65 options on BUD could still be a good bet. The stock is still just at $61.50. Reply

    Will the Banks Rebound? Cramer's Mad Money (5/30/08) [view article]
    Well, do you think that LEH will be a good buy at any price, lets say 20 or 18 per share? They are raising capital ... they have been very good performers in the past ... and it seems that they will survive ... but how small will they become and how much will the stock be worth? ... your estimate please and the "why's" behind your thinking.

    Thanks in advance,

    Vince

    NYT Smears David Einhorn, Again [view article]
    "The Times are just a bunch of liberal democrats. Why does anyone even bother to read it?"

    Because really smart successful people are not afraid to have their biases exposed and their opinions challenged. Smart people know that they might actually learn something profitable by keeping an open mind.

    Dick Cheney, who allegedly watches only Fox news and reads only the WSJ, is the classic poster child for why you should not be afraid of news and opinion that is different from your own.     Reply

    BQI explores Oil Sand permits in addition to any holdings they have in Oil Shale. They've proven a billion plus barrels of oil in their sands, so your description of what they do is inaccurate. Reply

    Other than GM, the others are a good relative buy now for significant upside in 2-3 years. GM has no leadership. Nardelli will sink Chrysler. Reply

    are you using this rally to start or add to any short or hedge positions. Yesterday I closed 1/2 of my DXD, TWM, SRS, SDS. Charts are telling me that the bear is back for the summer. Reply

    All arround negative sights, a buying opportunity for value investor. Agreed all of the above has their own problem. But if you look at individual, some are doing something to make things better. Like GM, stock is all time (meaning ALL TIME, since Nov. 1984). GM is crushed because off higher cost sturcture and some new youth love to foreign made cars. But if you see, GM is doing all it can to reduce the cost. Closing down plants in north america including canada where union is a major headache. They are making ways in India and China where the next growth is. And in India, GM cars are getting popular. Also, investing lots of money in India and China to outsourse parts and others. Agreed, this will take few years (would say 2) but all comes, GM will have much lower cost than now to withstand any slower sales cyle. Margin will impove and so the stock. Last week, Barron made same comments as mine (don't say I steal the idea from B) and they also see Gm stock much higher than now in next 3 years.

    PFE, big gorilla, have lots of cash but no future product. But who knows that? Everyone is taking about Lipitor is going off patent in 2009 and PFE will have lower sales. But no one (I think no one !!!) giving any credit to PFE or any pipeline surprise. PFE have lots of drugs in pipeline and one of them become hit, PFE will be a multibegger. Other than that, PFE also can go for big buyout as lots of cash on balance sheet with no debt (small). Again, Some Indian companies are threat to PFE with their genaric formulas. Last night Ranbaxy (PFE's threat on Lipitor) was bought by Diachi of Japan. Same thing PFE can do buying out some Indian pharma who have very good pipeline and generic formula. PFE can go that way or buy any big phama's like Novarits or AstraZ. But PFE is alos a candidate which is going for multi year low and cheap valuation on which everyone has throw the towel, with no benefits for thier pipeline or merge/buy out.

    Where C,AIG etc have their own problem. It's like a investors who bet big in dot com boom to earn easy and fast money. And then realise that "there is no free lunch" when bubble bust. Lost money but learn the lesson that every thing come with risk. So next time he become more caution. Cann't do anything else !!! Same goes for C,LEH,AIG etc. They bet big in booming housing market. Bubble bust. Lost lots of money. Lesson learned. Be good next time. Till then just settle the what you got. Fresh start !!!

    Hope this thoughs heplful. Any comments, welcome !!!     Reply

    If you look at the market as a whole it is in terrible disaray. Nothing seems to be working properly. Time for a change in economic and trade policy.

    Oil has hurt every aspect of our economy and will continue to untill someone in government makes a decision on what our next energy source will be. It is going to take a commitment to an alternative source of energy to fix the energy problem which will in turn fix our Economy and Markets.     Reply

    Rough times have come and gone for all the above companies and America. We can blame managment or we can blame politicians. Both need to get in-line with what is happening in the World. If American Companies are to survive America needs to slow the amount of one way trade to this country. It's all about balance and there is no balance in our trade or economic situation right now.

    We as citizens need to take more responsibility for what we purchase today because Big Business and Government aren't.     Reply
