    Consumer Discretionary Firms Under Increasing Pressure [view article]
    Ebay has been masking their core business failure with paypal.All their antiques and collectibles sellers are leaving, or have already left, and are doing quite well elsewhere, where these types of products are recession proof. Not so for retail consumer products. Ebay now has a complete catalog of CD's and appliances just like Walmart. Maybe Walmart can buy them out, then JD can return to his home base. Reply

    Russell 1000 Stocks with the Highest Short Interest as Percentage of Float [view article]
    Excellent info here on this heavy short list. Seems like there are a few retail stocks seen to go lower. Could lampert be shorting his own stock, Sears, as a hedge in the ultimate hedge scenario? Is that allowable?

    Weekly Wrap-Up: Insider Buys and Sells and Economic Reports Preview (Sept. 22-26) [view article]
    Your link to OESX is wrong. MORE IMPORTANTLY, it looks like the insider did not sell the shares but rather they had been transferred to a trust (which did the selling? I can't tell if this form was JUST for the transfer "at closing price" or if the trust actually sold). Reply

    Ah, almost the optimist.

    Yet, look at that period from 65 to 85. Nothing happened. During those years, an investor could have spent, drunk or otherwise enjoyed the use of his money but instead watched his investments go nowhere for 20 years, hoping for a return that never came. All along living with visceral swings.

    wow. ozcutty you used oz$ which are down 20%. not a chance in hell you made 5%.

    the dow over the last 20 years has ignored fundamentals. today, with the evil triangle (shorts, derivatives and hedge funds) and traders (investors are not playing) - the market is simply momentum driven. they make money by cycling the market.

    historical data is important, but try to understand the effects of present day forces on historical understandings.

    my bet is you will be decapitated if you invest long at this point in time.

    Yeah, things aren't that bad, i've been 100% invested most of the year and i'm only down 5%. When the markets turn, people will be too slow to get back in fearing the worse. Stocks like BAC will rally 100% or more before the average mum and dad investor considers buying them. Reply

    I really appreciate this article. What I don't understand is why so many don't act on this insight. My father used to say:"I bought some stocks of [company x] because they are going so well." Needless to say they always went down. Reply

    When Energy Goes Lower - Fast Money Recap (9/10/08) [view article]
    As for Lehman Bros. one can see how the Federal Government is so slow in acting. They seem to love crisis. They should march in immediately and put it in receivership. Do the financial work and disolve the company.
    That would be good management of the economy and would show that the government is on top of things.
    This will not happen because they need as much time as possible to work out a plan to save the investors. Or better know as socialism for capitalist.

    Gee, I saw the very same charts in Zacks today. We need a few more analysts talking up the stock and then it will be time to sell covered calls.

    Oh, this Seeking Alpha piece IS by Zacks... If it's only one analyst talking up the stock, forgetaboutit.
