      Has the Last Investor Thrown In the Towel?
      Analysts are just not sure where the market is going either. In fact, there is no consensus as to which way the market is going. Buffett is going long, Rogers is going long (commodities and China), Gartman has dipped his toe in some metals, Pickens is **all cash** ....And so it goes.

      For every guru buying, I can give you one that isn't. For every guru saying the bottom is in, I can give you one that says it isn't.

      Golden Opportunities?
      Jim Rogers is no slouch, but his time frame and cash balance puts him in a different class than most investors. If you had been sitting on commodities and China as he has suggested the last year (and still is..), you could be down about 60 - 65%. Can you afford it? I can't. It makes more sense to listen to Jim Rogers and Warren Buffet for future market moves and **consider** investing their way when and if the market moves in those directions.

      Optioning Apple Stock
      ... And then there was the article in the SF Chronicle advising that Broadcom and other parts suppliers to the IPhone may get a hit as IPhone sales are down more than expected and Apple is slowing their orders.

      China: Next Big Growth Region?
      Nice spikes... EEV does the same. IMHO They're just VIX spikes. As the VIX seems to be dropping, I'd expect the chart to reflect a lower range. And a viewing of the VIX chart seems to indicate either that it is at a prior resistance, or alternatively, it has broken it's upward trendline...

      Auto Parts Retailers Outperform
      I was watching GT (Goodyear Tire) move up and thinking how gurus were saying that without auto sales, their market would dry up. In the back of my mind was the niggling little thought "If people aren't buying new cars they'll need to replace the tires on their old clunkers.."

      VIX Watch: Uptrend Could Still Continue
      Nice viewpoint. However, we also have a dropping RSI, a break through the MA20 with the MA50 a fair distance below, a dropping Stochastics and a negative MACD crossover.

      The reason the press hasn't been paying too much attention to the VIX lately, is that at a top close to 90, they probably didn't want to excite people.. If it cranked up past 100, they'd have to print taller charts..

      Learning Curves: Identifying a Recession
      john s. gordon is right. Ordinary people felt the recession in their bones. Unfortunately, we've had a 'dollar short and day late' CEO in the White House whose approach to problem solving is to lie to the American people. What a waste of eight years. So sad. Our children's children will be paying off this jerk's legacy.

      Healthcare Insurers Going Kaput?
      I don't really follow Healthcare because it has not responded as a safety stock. However, seems to me that they were down because of Medicare costs that were instituted under the Bush administration. Don't see that changing soon.

      Fifth Straight Month of Slowing E-Commerce Sales Growth
      I'll accept your figures, but I'm curious if the 'fast growing categories' truly are growing, or are just a percentage of the pie bigger as other categories have dropped.

      Thx for teh article ... jegan

      paultaut.. Correct. Not to mention the decreased need for plastics and energy to run factories... All part of the global meltdown...

      Thanks "Dubya!" Once again, your administration sat around doing nothing till it was too late!

      Chesapeake Energy Unlikely To Remain this Cheap
      First an aside ...I am not a Cramer basher. In fact, his track record according to Hulbert is pretty much up there with the other market gurus. I would certainly not listen to his advice to average down in this market as we do not seem to have fully hit bottom. There is talk of DOW going to 6800. Averaging down may work in a bull market, but not in a bear market. Only listen to Cramer for market ideas. He does not provide entry or exit points, nor does he provide stops. If you do not know how to perform these tasks, then you will lose money.

      Anyway! McClendon and his management have stated several times that they would like to ship NatGas overseas where some spot markets are just below $20 as opposed to our US prices in the mid $6. I'd like to see them pursue that avenue and suggest they look at buying Cheniere Energy with a market cap of $190 Mil. This would give them the LNG stations in the Gulf.... This from Yahoo Finance:

      Cheniere Energy, Inc., through its subsidiaries, engages in the development, construction, ownership, and operation of onshore liquefied natural gas (LNG) receiving terminals and natural gas pipelines along the Gulf Coast of the United States.

      11 Stocks Selling Below Cash
      I agree with fatcat as well.

      Irish banks? Please! South American banks? They haven't been hit with the still unfolding commodity collapse.

      The only two I see as **not too spooky** are Yangzou and Sandia. And those two only because they are **not as** connected to the outside world's ills right now. Both tend to have a moat as they service their countries internally.

      However! That is not to say that they will not be tarred with the same brush as their counterparts.

      And I like PDA better than SDA and still prefer BTU over YCZ anyway..

      But interesting list if and when the world's economies begin to pick up...

      thx jegan
