      Goldman's Golden Message: Time to Short the Shiny Stuff
      I can make you a cogent argument either way. What I know for sure is that GS makes calls on what profits it most, not what is most likely to happen.

      Why in the world would anyone trust this company's message on any investment? They are in it to MAKE MONEY not to MAKE YOU MONEY.

      Goldman Cuts Estimates, Targets for Slew of Tech Stocks
      Is there somewhere we can see these "cut" estimates? Downgrading someone like NVDA is just silly. The company is selling at a ridiculously cheap P/E and they are not indicating any slowdowns.

      Has Anything Really Changed in the Last Two Days?
      Where I live (Tulsa, Oklahoma) our home sales are barely off last years incredible record pace. Prices might be off a little (less than 2% for sure), but there are no foreclosures. You watch too much TV. They sensationalize everything, always have always will. Good for us, they made stocks cheaper than they should be. They may have scared some consumers, but that is a temporary scare already being resolved with Xmas spending. California, Nevada, Ohio and Florida do not equal the whole country.

      XLF has bottomed, LIBOR may determine some mortgages, but as I said, fixed 30 yr rates are at 2 yr lows. A 15 yr loan is 5.25 percent. Come on, those are affordable rates.

      People will only walk away from loans if they are speculators, if they are living there, they will see it as the investment it is and they will refinance to a fixed rate if the government makes it possible (which they will).

      You really think that you can just plot out the financial course of the country, especially one of doom and gloom because it seems logical? If it was that easy, we'd all be millionaires.

      'Buy and Hold': As True Now as Ever
      They have chartists on CNBC. I'd say they are more doom and gloom on CNBC than is warranted.

      94% in cash after Friday when some techs had a 10% intraday move? ROFLMAO! Hope you like those 4% yearly returns, while the traders can have days that good.

      As true as ever? I'd agree, assuming you mean it is never true.

      Not taking advantage of stocks that can swing 10% intraday is silly. If you want to sit in a good investment and watch it go up and down every day, good for you, but I'd rather find a good investment and sell into strength knowing that with the Vix over 20 it will be back down for me to rebuy or even go short on the way back down.

      All this thinking that these loans won't get refinanced is pretty silly. It will happen, 30 yr rates are already at 2 yr lows, and if you dispense with LTV requirements, the payments are affordable if you can get the people out of the adjustable rate loans. That will happen, and the real homeowners will be allowed to refinance.

      Speculators will and should get screwed, but they are not enough to cause more than mere heartburn for the industry.

      This isn't to say there is no problem, but it will not be as bad as people are making it out to be (27 cents on the dollar, Etrade? You just gave away money).

      Micron, SanDisk Struggle with Memory
      Well, I'm long SNDK and would never think about buying MU. I never understood the appeal of Micron as an investment in that it had nothing to differentiate it. The company basically bleeds cash and has never had an attractive price.

      SNDK, however, is a different beast. STX and WDC are "commodities"... yet people are awakening to their appeal and future as an investment. This same awakening will happen for SNDK, and their future is even brighter.

      Everything is going to have Flash in it. Who wants moving parts when they can have flash?

      Bouncing off a 3 yr low with growing profits and revenues, this is when you should be buying SNDK.

      I held back until the bounce in the Soxx and the bounce off the 3 yr lows for SNDK. Then I jumped in. Semis are breaking out. Get some NVDA and SNDK and watch your account grow.

      Chat With E*Trade's Acting CEO on the Citadel Infusion
      Some might say he poured gas on the fire. As they said, if they were private, it would've worked out.

      An Analysis of the E*Trade-Citadel Deal
      I'm one of Etrades more active type traders and I never even thought about moving my account. Of course, I don't own their stock, either (I have). I never thought my money was in jeopardy and see this move only done as something to appease the nervouse nellies among the customers. Having had an account there since, I dunno, 2000 or so, I've seen their stock in the tank. It has nothing to do with the service.

      Nintendo Wii Flying Off Shelves, Facing Supply Shortages
      FYI - one of the main reasons this is happening is Ebay.

      People are buying 20 or more at a time online with difference CC's and at stores with friends and selling them at a $100 premium.

      I'd expect the situation to clear up pretty quickly after Xmas.
