If you don't want to short, don't. But with all the "fantasy-based" products that generated profits gone, not sure why anyone thinks this group won't just trade sideways for years once a bottom is found.]]>

There are many "poor" renters who've never been in better shape today because they have avoided the panic to "invest in a home at any cost" and ultimately caused this mess. ]]>

Keep in mind that Germany has been one of the best friends to the solar stocks and have recently passed legislation to start slashing subsidies starting in 2009. Which means they will have to sell even more product to offset the declining subsidies that start in 2009 and continue to get slashed in the following years (5% a year if i remember right)

Disclosure: Short SPWR & FSLR.]]>

Short Demand for Cree Is High and Rising http://seekingalpha.com/article/60754-short-demand-for-cree-is-high-and-rising?source=feed#comment-111634 111634 Sun, 20 Jan 2008 08:43:07 -0500 A Rare Opportunity To Buy AmEx On The Cheap http://seekingalpha.com/article/59989-a-rare-opportunity-to-buy-amex-on-the-cheap?source=feed#comment-110042 110042
What we're beginning to see is that the "subprime bubble" might actually be a "consumer bubble" with people living well beyond their means for too long. Subprime is sure a big part of it, but you don't hear much (yet) about the credit card debt and loan debt people made in the same timeframe.

For every subprime loan that was made on overinflated home, how many HELOCs were taken out to their max values in the same timeframe?

Cracks are starting to appear and they could spread a lot quicker now that the dam is bursting.

I don't doubt that Amex will be a good company to own in the future, i'm just not sure you won't be better off waiting on the financials. I do not believe this is a "rare opportunity" at all.
