    Reagan,

    There are many more where the following comes from:

    and you can quote me.

    I hope pray and prey that iTechnology becomes byeTechnology.

    Apple should be embarrassed, but I figure that they will be following their current "plan" to re-invent everything and sell it to the idiots of the world.

    SIMO is the best deep value / high growth play on the street. Misunderstood as earnings and margins have been steady as they sell controllers and are not pressured by NAND pricing. PEG of less than .31 and a forward PE on guided earnings around 7 with a 30% growth rate. Reply

    Zoltek Blowing in the Wind, Cramer's Lightning Round (4/23/08) [view article]
    Agree that Zoltek may not be the best run company, but they are in the right business at the right time and will make a lot of money barring a cataclysmic event within their very thin management ranks. Reply

    I wouldn't have though that would be a good enough neighborhood for an Apple store. Reply

    State Street Press Release Ain't Straight [view article]
    For someone trading the stock, like me, who read the press release, (but didn't listen to the conference call) sold his shares on the uptick, then bought back at a lower price, not knowing the news on the conference call, this certainly was a disappointment. How could STT not mention the portfolio issues in its press release? Reply

    It was obvious a long time ago that the American financial system is totally lacking in credibility. It seems that anything goes in the quest to survive these difficult times. Reply

    State Street Sets Aside $618M for Pension Related Lawsuits [view article]
    Dear Opaulo:

    I agree with you that these are not just ERISA issues and are in fact broad "suitability"... issues. What's interesting is that some of the complaints being filed allege securities fraud and disclosure "problems." I am not an attorney and therefore not in a position to offer legal advice or interpretation of legal issues. That said, I don't believe it is complete (correct) to say that a fiduciary gets a pass if a loss is due to market considerations. ERISA mandates a tough standard in the form of prudential process. State pension laws tend to mimic ERISA so the notion of process applies to them as well. Interestingly, and having just spoken at a conference of global pension regulators, the US is in the minority for its emphasis on process versus outcomes. I appreciate reading your thoughtful comments.

    Dividend Aristocrats: Top Dividend Growers [view article]
    Did I miss something? Didn't NUE cut its dividend this year? I'm a big fan of dividend stocks, but this company's numbers in terms of dividend growth are misleading: there was a HUGE divy increase followed by a year in which the divy remained virtually unchanged, followed by a significant cut to its current level.

    If you want to talk overall (i.e. cumulative) returns, that's a different story, but this stock does not belong on this list.

    State Street Hires Chief Risk Officer After Derivatives Index Losses [view article]
    I do not see any reference to "derivatives index losses" as the explanation for SSgA's problems; that Miskovic will address off balance sheet exposure and/or sub-prime market exposure; and that this is in response to angry investors.

    I can't substantiate your posting/blog with any FT article or otherwise.

    Will you point us to it?

    Dividend Aristocrats: Top Dividend Growers [view article]
    Mixter, you speak the truth about the arrogance of this bank. I too stopped using the bank to do everyday banking based on their business model. However, as an investment, they seem to be doing just fine. From the customer service stand point, they are terrible and have caused me to move to more friendly and response banks.

    As for the subprime mess that we are in, I suspect that many banks including B of A will be soon chopping their dividends. Right now they have an ideal set up with the Feds giving them cheap money and keeping loan rates high. That is one way or them to cover the pending losses resulting from the sub prime loans made by them.

    I do not see where they will gain much from the Country wide take over- at least in the short run. Maybe in the long run if the current banking crisis doesn't blow up into a full blown collapse this will turn out to be a good strategy for them to increase their exposure to the home mortgage market. We will come out of the housing down turn I believe, but in the immediate future, there will be some blood in the streets.
