U.S. Judiciary Emerging as Investors' New Best Friend

Spitzer deserved what he got. He was only looking to build his own career, and did not do anything that helped the common man. He also got financial institutions he sued to settle, rather than find the wrongdoers. So investors lost a lot of money, and at their expense, New York gained all those ill- gotten gains.

'Surgical' Bankruptcy for Chrysler

UAW should have a great sense of achievement. They were so successful in stopping the management class from gaining from the workers, that they managed to push them into bankruptcy. A great win for class warfare indeed! Wish we had more Unions like the United Auto Workers-- Not!

General Electric: Genuine Risk of Collapse?

You can short treasuries.Doug Kass recently did just that and wrote an article about it. You do it by shorting TLT. Go ahead, do it, as you feel the US Govt is in a deeper hole than GE. I am not agreeing or disagreeing with you. Just giving some info.

Sign of a Crisis Market: Asset Correlations Remain High

Interesting. But can you throw light on when this uptrend will end, and which asset classes will continue up?

Terra Industries: An Interesting Fertilizer Play

However, if you bought TNH and TRA on the day the dividend was annonced and sold on the ex-dividend day, with TNH, you came out even, (after adding the dividend that you got). However, with TRA, you lost more than $3/ per share or more than 6% loss.

Terra Industries: An Interesting Fertilizer Play

Yes, he said that and was partly right,it fell from 112 on July 24, when the dividend was announced, to 106 on the day before ex-div date. I wonder why this happens, though.

LDK Solar: A Spark of Light

jjounsbury59 is trying to set you up, so that he can make profits from you ,by further shorting of your stocks in a few days. Do not depend on this short seller to make your purchasing decisions.In a few days these guys will create negative publicity, and bring the price down. Do not play their game. Wait for a pullback.

Why Is Mosaic Looking to Sell Its Nitrogen Segment?

While the fields are flooded, there is no crop and no need for fertilizer. No wonder all fertilizer stocks are tanking, nitrogen or potash.

Visa IPO Should Offer Investors Positive Risk/Reward

After CME and NYX jumped, over the first few months of their IPO, NMX got hyped, and jumped on the first day of its IPO. Those individual investors who bought that day never made any money. It jumped to $135 that day, and recently got bought out by CME for $100. So those investors lost 25%. Let this be a lesson for those who are planning to buy the much hyped Visa IPO at a premium on opening day.

My 2008 Predictions for Financial Catastrophe

You said first that Predictions are not your forte. You should have then shut up. Your article is baseless and unresearched. What makes you think you have the right to spew nonsense and waste our time?

Arthrocare's Acquisition of Discocare: Trying Put the Genie Back in the Bottle

While the issues raised are serious and worrisome, the fact that it comes from "Citron Reearch" makes me take this with a large pnchof salt. Citron Research, if you go to their websie, says they wer formerly called "StockLemon.com." Why do you think they chnged their name? Because they have been ued by several companies, because they short a stock and then spread rumors about thecompany, with partial truths, an by giving a one side view. They cover their shorts after they havr driven the price down. Individual invetors, wh generally invest in these smaller companies are the ones who are badly hurt.
When they are so shocked that the real nature of Discocare was not revealed, they fail to disclose upfront, that they were formerly Stocklemon and have been already sued for their business practices.
Shame on Seeking Alpha for legtimizing these scum. Makes e have second thoughts on the legitimacy of Seeking Alpha.

China Gaming: Giant Interactive Cannot Be Ignored

Too much hype, on what could be. Show me the money. I will not bottom fish. Buying high and selling higher is a better investment strategy. Hence my money is in GIGM

Why I'm All About Apple

I know of another company that is spending a lot on research-- that company is MSFT.
Tells you that when it comes to research,efficiency is more important than amount . So don't let numbers fool you. There are a lot more unrecognized companies out there, that in hindsight will turn out to be greater buys. I would wish the authors of this site to look into those, rather than rant about already known stories.

Stop deluding yourself.
Ask the Chinese, Indians and Russians, what they think about your Land of Laws.
Laws are not for multi-nationals, or the large investment banks. It is for you-- the micro-investor.
