      Who Would Bail Out Switzerland's Banks?
      The hard working, thrifty people of Switzerland are not the same as the banks. Factually, every person in the US that is being hurt by the recent economic problems is not a spendthrift. (I'll use myself as an example.. Humbly, of course...)

      Switzerland's banks are exposed to issues with emerging markets. For example, the last I heard, they are on the hook for 90% of Hungary's debt. Hungary has problems that are beginning to look like Iceland's.

      If the banks of Switzerland get hammered, does that mean that the populace are spendthrifts? Logic says not.

      The Time Is Now for Microsoft-Yahoo Search Deal
      Ballmer should wait. I'll bet he can pick up Yahoo's servers with the complete database at a garage sale this Summer... For pennies...

      Insider Buying at Corning; Stock Shouldn't Go Much Lower
      GLW is a good company, but I'm not buying till the market turns back up. I doubt that there will be a big rush on LCD screens this Xmas, and if so, then it will be just to clear out excess product form Overstock.com and Circuit City.

      As to management buying their company... Mmmmm Yeah, but! Aubrey McClendon was buying CHk at much higher prices than you can buy the stock at right now, and I really consider him a pretty bright guy. He isn;t the only one to do so. Also, anyone who can dump several million into a stock purchase is clearly way outside my league. People that can do so usually leave their cash (stocks) to their heirs, or endow them to a college or museum.

      As to the issue of the older TV becoming obsolete in 2009.... (1) That's 2009, (2) How many homes really only get TV reception from the airwaves (5%??? ). Everyone else has cable or Dish... (3) You can get a converter box for $35, and (4) Go to Freecycle.com and post a desire for a used newer TV... They're giving them away...

      Trump to Lenders: You're Sued!
      Paying attention to 'The Donald' on an investor's blogsite is like picking up the SF Chronicle and finding that Paris Hilton is front page news. I was hoping for a little more substance, even given the article's title.

      Bear Market: 1930s All Over Again?
      The 1930's kept on going after the first leg down.. Check it out with Yahoo Finance. Unlike Herbert Hoover who elected to let the market work itself out, Paulson and Bernanke seem to have been pro-active. Hopefully, their actions will have shut the drop down, otherwise we have a considerable distance still to drop.

      With Numbers Like These, Is Bullishness Possible?
      Those charts don't look so gory if you don;t use 'red'. Try a cheerier color. Good article..

      Five Factors That Can Determine the Fate of the U.S. Dollar
      optionsgirl... Go to Yahoo Finance and pull up a chart for 'SPY' (The SP500 ETF).. Then click on 'compare' and type in 'UUP'.(Dollar bull ETF).. Go back a year. You'll see that as the dollar increased in value, the stock market sank and vice-versa. (In fact, you can use UDN, which is the bear Dollar ETF..And it should track the SPY pretty well.)

      In other words, for the most part, if the dollar devalues, you should expect to see a market revival. You might look at stocks that will do well in inflationary times, or those that suit our new President's inclinations.

      Having said that, I'd be a little leery of Solar stocks or the ETF 'TAN'. It is very likely that we may not have the neccessary cash to move on Solar. You might look at Natural Gas stocks, particularly in their correct season. I'd expect oil stocks to begin to move back up as well.

      Good luck! jegan ;-)

      Kurt Wulff knows more about oil and NatGas than anyone I've read. The exceptions are fast trade artists (Zman's Energy Brain for example)... Check out his McDep page before beating him up.

      Tough Out There for Both Bulls and Bears
      I agree... Can't see which way the market is going. A positive is that the VIX seems to be rolling over on the weekly chart. That would be nice. And there is talk that the dollar may be peaking. That too would point to an improving market. However, Mike Paulanoff has noted that the SDS (Ultrashort SP500) has broken through long term resistance today and may be headed for $116.00. Errr... And volume is light, indicating no reasl bullish support. My feeling is that we are in for a period of turmoil and these weird gyrations are just a sample of what's to come. Lets face it, look how little good the Chinese monster bailout did for the market today.

      And just a subjective point. If you ignore the spikes on your DOW chart, you really are left with a 8200 -> 9600 trading range.
