    Under The Radar News - Monday [view article]
    Shockingly uninformed? The US produced a record 13.1 bil. bu. corn crop last year with the largest acreage since the 40s, but we will burn 3.1 bil. bu. in the form of ethanol. Surplus stocks are expected to be near 1.3 bil. bu. Take away ethanol production away and the surplus would be near 4.4 bil. bu. What's more, US ethanol production is expected to consume more than 4 bil. bu. of corn next year. The reason corn prices are so high is directly attributable to ethanol. Does guy seriously think supply and demand don't matter. Tell that to a hungry family in India that has seen food costs double so we can take pennies off the price of driving SUVs. Reply

    RIMM SCAM CONTINUES:

    India puts a ban on certain Blackberry services

    India puts a ban on certain Blackberry services

    The Indian government has now directed the telecom companies in the market to block certain services provided to the users of Blackberry devices.

    This ban would remain in place till the service providers put up the requisite monitoring systems in place.

    The government had earlier raised its objection to the RIM Blackberry services as they said that some of the services could not be monitored and hence were a security concern.

    Indian government representative Jyotiraditya Scindia said in a statement: “Instructions have been issued to all mobile service providers, inter alia, asking them not to connect or provide/run certain BlackBerry services unless the required monitoring systems are in place.”

    Cellular Operators Association of India Director General T.V. Ramachandran responded on this directive: “We will abide by whatever the government requires. We have no issue.”

    Peter lynch may have had a good point, if you got in to a smaller company early. But, to invest in a overvalued large company, like RIM, and ignore fundamental valuation is a mistake. RIM has sales of $6bn and a valuation of over %65 billion, a bubble like those of 2000.

    Wanted, Dead or Alive: The iPhone Killer [view article]
    I would like to order some of Mr. Yag is smoking. It is clearly of great potency. The notion that Windows ANYTHING is equal to, let alone superior to, Apple is such an absurd notion that it is difficult to know whether to laugh or cry. FYI, I was a DOS and later Windows user for over 15 years - and I only wish I had transitioned sooner! Even before OS X, Macs were clearly the superior machine and experience. I know many former Windows sufferers who feel the same way.

    As to Voyager being an "iPhone killer" - Right! Like Zune killed the iPod, eh? I love Verizon, and dislike AT&T for a number of reasons - but I am switching as soon as iPhone 2.0 is out...

    Buying at the top is foolhardy, but the top sometimes turns into the middle. Other times it really was the top. So my point is that people need to learn ways to figure out, or feel out, tops - rather than being told to sell out at tops (which everyone is trying to do naturally).

    As for UA (UARM), my point is more that you say it could happen. This is just like saying it might not happen. As such, it adds nothing to the article. I think expounding on the synergies, or why it makes sense to you that they would merge, could be much more helpful.

    Jim Estner:
    Your points are well-taken, you are obviously sophisticated and intelligent. This piece was meant more as an anecdotal, breezy, educational type article, and to create some conversation. Some of the points made are not as obvious to newer, less-sophisticated investors.

    Many many people fall prey to the hot stocks of the day and buy in right at the top, such as CROX at 70 last fall. We saw it happen on a massive scale when the Internet Bubble cracked in 2001. I, for one, did not lose everything that day, unlike many investors/traders. I was taking profits all the way up, and saw it for what it was, and foresaw the inevitable decline. Obviously I was not the only one, but many people got crushed.

    As to the point about smart companies knowing when to sell out, the unwritten implication of my comment on Snapple and Vitamin Water was that the companies who bought them were kinda stupid, as in paid way too much in my perception. And while it may be obvious to you that UA could be a takeover target, it may not be to everyone.

    Anyhoo, I'm writing a variety of articles, some of which will be very specific, some very technical, some breezy, some anecdotal, some very in-depth on complex options strategies, and some very opinionated (I just submitted a bullish WMT article today with specific targets). Hopefully you will like others better.

    "In short, there are profits to be made on the upside to a super-hot consumer product or trend or stock, but be ready to hit the exits or even be short if the trend turns sour."

    I think I need to frame this gem. You are truly a sage.

    "In my opinion, companies that have a super-hot product or line are often smart if they sell out to a larger company near the top of their run. Previous examples of this are products like Snapple and Vitamin Water, which sold out to much larger competitors. I would guess that Under Armour (UA) could possibly in the future be bought out by a Nike (NKE) or Adidas, but this is pure speculation on my part."

    This is perhaps the lamest tripe I have ever read on Seeking Alpha. Unbelievable.

    Think this through - you are saying absolutely nothing of any value.

    First, you ramble about how a Company is best to sell out on top of its game...you think? Do you have some crystal ball that says when a Company has hit that peak?

    And then you peddle absolute drivel about Nike or Adidas possibly being interested in Under Armour one day...really? Thanks for the insight.
