    Hurricane Damage Effects - Cramer's Lightning Round (9/12/08) [view article]
    Cramer may be right on anything concerning Sun power and Uranium, since oil prices have fallen. Americans seem to live on oil, and will cut back on any other source of power when oil prices decrease. Reply

    Finally got one of his bearish calls (USEC).
    Now maybe it can finally start an uptrend.

    Oshkosh's Diesel Electric Hybrid Monster Truck [view article]
    It appears HONDA GX this December 2008 will be the first alternate fuel vehicle other than the VODKA powered e -85 Food INFLATING CONGRESSIONAL MISTAKE TO MAKE FARMERS RICHER THAN CEOs at FANNIE AND FREDDIE and win the incompetence award of the CENTURY.
    THIS capacitor /diesel/electric motor combo is too smart for DETROTT/GM/FORD. Maybe after 2010 .
    Will go long on OSK-Oshkosh Monday. Had a position in PCAR for the new propane/diesel long haul large trucks. Any thoughts out there???
    Airlines are to costly,over staffed at the top and big money losers that the BANKS will not be able to afford soon????

    Actually stocks will eventually correct 70%. If at the bottom, the ones that do not go out of business will be great buys. Which ones? Only the Shadow knows Reply

    Best and Worst Performing Stocks of the Current Bear Market [view article]
    Does anyone honestly think Las Vegas, the world's largest resort combine is just going to disappear? Then let me sell you some vacant land on Mt. Everest. This is a golden opportunity to accumulate LVS MGM, Boyd and Wynn shares at fire sale prices. If that wasn't enough, add Macau, the largest gambling mecca in the world which is frosting on the cake.

    Healthcare and legacy costs are partially to blame, but the UAW is, in my opinion, more of the culprit. I worked for Ford and experienced the ridiculousness of all of the red tape first hand. The UAW is nothing more than a leech. From the union reps who do nothimg more than walk the floor and shake hands, to the stupid rules pertaining to job classification, unions are a big reason why AMerican car makers are struggling. Hell, in my plant (Sterling Heights plant on Mound road for Ford) we had a guy making over 100k a year and he was a damn floor cleaner!

    This looks like a dartboard. Pick 3 sector ETFs, 3 little followed stocks
    and sleep better at night.

    It isn't the unions that has caused the downfall of GM. It is healthcare costs for retirees. GM can compete against Toyota. It cannot compete against Japan. If we had universal health care coverage in this country and American companies could get out of having to offer healthcare benefits to it's employees then GM would be in better shape. And before someone starts screaming about socialized medicine let me state a few observations. Healthcare is not free. It costs money to provide good healthcare and money is a finite resource. Everyone has an obligation to take care of themselves by eating right, exercising and not smoking. (Tobacco companies use to get government subsidies, why shouldn't lung cancer patients) But every American citizen has a right to decent healthcare. One of the things that made America great was the availability of a free education to everyone, just not for the rich. Modern medical technology is expensive. Some CEO shouldn't get rich by saying no to the insurance company saying no to my medical care. Why would you want to be part of a society that put greed above the well being of it's citizens regardless of economic class. Let's have compassionate capitalism in America. Money isn't isn't evil but the love of money is or so they say. Reply

    I worked for TWA and was a union member for 34 yrs. TWA went thru 2 bankruptcies. The I.A.M. slept with TWA. Unions are a waste at this time. They were great in the beginning but useless now.
    If you fly straight you don't need them. If you have problems there is the Labor Board.
