    I feel the market is ready to turn around and the downside is limited and the upside is unlimited. As far a WaMu goes half the firms have ugraded and half the firms downgraded.This is your chance to make a killing or lose your investment in WaMu. If you want to play it safe then there are a lot of good companies on sale. (example: MGM,LVS,WYNN,& BYD) Reply

    Alright, you guys want to talk about Cramer, let's do it.

    Let's talk about $4 gasoline, oil exploration and substituting NG as a transportation fuel. Perhaps he was a little late to the party on this (as was his buddy Larry Kudlow) but he's been there for some months now, with both feet and big mouth.

    LONG, LONG before Obama, Pelosi and the Democrats, I might add. So if he's an idiot, WHAT DOES THAT MAKE THEM ??? (And what does that make YOU if you didn't see this coming?)

    Or how about the Fed? He was several MONTHS AHEAD of them in recognizing the financial meltdown, wasn't he? And he talked about it ALOT, which surely made him lots of friends on the street.

    Last I checked, he was a millionaire hedge fund manager who decided to go on TV and help retail investors to understand the market. Nobody else (except Louis Rukeyser) ever did that.

    So if you don't like the man, STOP reading about him. That's easy enough. And if you want run your mouth, do it with your wife. (Oh, but she has a nasty tendency to talk back, doesn't she?)     Reply

    WaMu says they have capital. Cramer says they don't. Which one do you believe?

    I believe the possibility of WaMu doing a "Bad Bank" much like Lehman is doing by separating their Commercial business and CMBS.

    Cramer is an idiot with an occasional good idea and a tight stop loss for all his bad ones.     Reply

    Are Text Messaging Prices the Biggest Wireless Issue? [view article]
    Agree with Senator's request. 100% increase is ridiculous. Costs to deliver SMS should be going down, not up. It is clear that per text message pricing is going up to slowly push subscribers onto a "volume discount" prepaid plan.

    $30/mo is a lot to ask a subscriber who does not use text messaging as a means to communicate, nor subscribes to a frequent alert system. Notwithstanding that subscriber is likely to get a few alerts per month, which amount does not substantiate subscribing to a prepaid text message plan. Instead the sub is "squeezed" a few bucks for essentially a service is worth 1/10 of what is charged.

    Bottom line, it is clear the carriers want all subscribers to subscribe to a prepaid SMS plan, figuring by "slowing" increasing the price per message, will force unwilling subs onto such a prepaid plan.

    All this, IMHO, is analogous to how cable companies keep on adding channels that customers do not want to program packages to substantiate ever increasing prices for cable (or satellite), and to build their cable-owned channels that would not make a dime but for market ownership of the distribution channel.

    My question to Senator Kohl, why limit your request to the wireless carriers? Why not ask the MSOs the same thing? Why be "penny-wise & dollar foolish?"     Reply

    Are Text Messaging Prices the Biggest Wireless Issue? [view article]
    Mobile operators around the world are trying to maintain their overall SMS revenues by playing with bundling, pricing elasticity and so forth. Volumes are going up, but (on average) prices are coming down. They are trying to encourage users to adopt large bundles (with a cheap "per message" rate but better revenue visibility) by increasing one-off message prices.

    That said, some of the US carriers' pricing seems egregiously high when compared to prices of 1c or less in some countries in Asia which use essentially the same type of infrastructure.

    There is a fine line between "value-based pricing", where the user willingly pays a premium for a service they really like - and "resentment-based pricing", where the user feels extorted, but pays anyway as it's a "must have" service. Resentment-based pricing leads to spectacular churn rates at a later date, when credible competition appears. It also leads to regulatory pressure if customers feel ripped-off.

    From a European analyst's perspective, some of the North American carriers are now seriously miscalibrating the value/resentment balance on SMS pricing.     Reply

    Why should any private, non-regulated enterprise be expected to disclose their marginal revenues, marginal costs, fixed costs, usage factors, customer behaviors, etc.? Why? Who are you to ask these companies to disclose proprietary information?

    The end-user price for messaging has gone up for a couple different reasons: a) it's increasingly popular, demand is hot (why not charge whatever you can?); and b) carriers prefer 'predictable' revenues in the form of flat-rate plans (and would prefer to avoid 'metered' billing).

    Your $30 'add-on' to support five phones sounds like a pretty good deal; stop complaining

    And to Senator Herb Kohl: you've obviously forgotten that every single member of the US Congress (House & Senate) receives a totally free smart device with unlimited voice & data usage, graciously provided by all the major carriers - thank you very much; stop the grand-standing and re-direct your attention to much-much-much more pressing issues.

    Unfortunately, rate plans aren't going down. Quite the opposite. Even incentives to sign for 1 (or more) year deals have been scaled back. Text messaging pricing is nothing but a naked money grab. Reply

    rate plans keep going down, wireless companies need to recoup this loss of revenue. its as simple as that Reply
