    Options Trader: Thursday Outlook [view article]
    Enter your comment hereOptions guys,

    I need help. I took a quick course on options trading and thought I knew everything. I took a 200 contracts on Visa at a strike price of $95 at 1.10. At end of Day it was .56.

    I am new to options and this is too maddening for me.

    Any advice?

    Late Payments on Loans the Highest in 16 Years: The Pooring of America Continues [view article]
    TraderMark - My take - it is not in "Wall Street's" interest to face reality, it is in their interest to postpone recognition of the magnitude of the loses due to their gluttony as long as possible; to spread the losses over a longer period of time, keeping the amounts "under the radar"; and to continue to cohere the Fed into inflating a part of the total to zero. The Fed is a willing participant because of the revolving door between Wall Street, the Federal Reserve System, and the Treasury. But do not consider this an economic problem; it is a political problem. As long as the masses elect to perpetuate the "system" nothing will change. T. Jefferson [the original one - declaration signer] is credited with saying that our form of government is lost when the majority of voters realize that they can rob the richest minority via legislative actions. I say that we are there, we now have the majority that pay no federal income tax, but expect/demand [and vote to continue] government delivered entitlements. [remember, the original Constitution only granted the federal government the authority to collect "tariffs" on commerce] Reply

    Falcon: To be perfectly clear, nobody "knows" whether the market is headed up or down. Never. It's always a prediction, and fallible Reply

    Will Wal-Mart's Drug Price Cuts Affect Other Pharmacies? [view article]
    This is another anti-competitive move by Giant WalMart. While it may be nice to get your beta-blaocker for $4, Think how much it will be when there are no other drugstores in your town. In Florida Walmart is fighting a state law that prohibits selling gasoline below cost. You think it's charity on their part? They can afford to lose on gasoline while the other stations in town must either make a few cents on each gallon or close down. When they're the only game in town, you're screwed. Reply

    Does anyone know where the market is headed-up or down? Or are we just playing games for the hedge funds? Reply

    the most interesting piece of news this morning was ener earnings. did you see them? stock up 10. there was never going to be a recession unless the government failed to address the failure of the credit market. and they did respond. the media jumps on the notion of recession because fear sells not because it is liberal but because it is motivated by profit . the bias is towards useless information.

    Whenever there is a Democrat President, the talk is always of a "soft landing". Whenever a Republican is President, it's always a recession. Yet another example of the left-wing bias of the media. Reply

    So you want to short or sell ener options......amazing that you make such a simple and quite dumb call. They did guide up...did you see the range, the midpoint is higher that what was expected...obviously they are sandbaging....

    do you want your readers to get wiped....this stock could see 80 by next week...yea...i said 80.....compare to fslr

    fslr revs 200M.....ener revs 70 M....

    fslr profit 50c/share.....ener profit 17c share.....

    ener does 1/3 of what fslr does....should be 1/3 price, but in market cap.....not stock price.....that puts it at say 8x current value to just get to 8 B cap....Fslr is 22.5 B cap...

    could go to 400 on a hge squeeze with major coverages announced....

    If you would linke me to write for you column...let me know...because you certainly did not do you homework!!

    Much overlooked: the rate of increase in productivity and increase in manufacturing output.

    Much is written about the "decline" in U.S. manufacturing, which has consistently increased in output (not payrolls).

    ACKMAN SAID HE CALLED ESL INVESTMENTS TO SPEAK WITH LAMPERT FOUR TIMES AND NEVER GOT A RESPONSE.

    HE IS THE FOURTH LARGEST SHAREHOLDER OF SEARS.

    IT SEEMS THAT IS WHERE THE CUSTOMER SERVICE COMES FROM SEARS EMPLOYEES.
