  • The Significance Of BRIC Seems To Be Eroding [View article]
    China, despite being the worlds 2nd largest economy, a majority of their population that would be considered destitute by any European/American standard. They still have much more room left to grow.

  • Caterpillar's Tale In China [View article]
    Why are you using Gordon Chang of all people as a source? Every prediction he ever made about China has turned out wrong in EVERY way.

    And the Chinese has recently overhauled their power grid in several major cities and that might in part explain the lessening of Electricity consumption.

  • Spectrum Pharmaceuticals Falls Hard With No Logical Explanation [View article]
    It's a stock that took a massive dive, is currently on a downtrend, recently missed analyst estimates and had a recent 3 day round of selling by the CEO. Add to that the HUUUUUUUUUGE short % of shorted stock, which were probably shorted at around the 18-14 price range, insider selling isn't exactly making me brim with confidence.

    I do believe that this stock will go up eventually, but right now it's like a dangling knife.

    How would one go about proving it in a court of law? How much money would the government have to spend in order to investigate and prosecute?

    Well it seems like he stopped on the 16th and he still has around 2.4 Million shares so it's not anything to get scare of yet but it's still disconcerting to me since I eventually want to have a position in this company but have no idea when to get in.

    The Ceo sold off around 150,000 shares in the last three days. He's been selling off 80,000 shares a day since the 14th.

    That being said though 52% of the stock is shorted. Does that guarantee a squeeze somewhere down the line?

  • Whiting USA Trust I: Investors Continue To Overpay For This Trust [View article]
    One would hope that Oil won't skyrocket until 2015. The Collar that they have states that they must payout the profits in excess of $124 (I belive it's 124) to the underwriters of the collar aka JPMorgan.

    You have to pay a dividend if you short a stock. This stock will eventually die in 2015, the only question is how many gasps for air will it have in the meanwhile.

    Probably because you're required to pay a dividend if you short a stock. The smart play here is to but a LEAP put (Though I don't think WHX has any) it's guaranteed to go down to 0 by 2015.

  • Knowing China And Its Economy [View article]
    In your dreams maybe. China hasn't risen to that level yet. And even if it has, there's still SE Asia like Vietnam and Thailand for low/mid level manufacturing.
