      lewis . . . incompetent?

      Hmmm, he is the CEO of BofA. Seriously. If you were half the man that he was, you still would be no where near where he is. SA is continuing to show me that the readers have fallen a few grades to be par with the contributors.       Sep 16 07:43 AM
    • Alternative Buyers for Lehman (and Not Just the Usual Suspects) [view article]
      wow, I see great humor here.

      Someone actually has a sense of humor!

      XOM's R&D will never buffer a buyout though, and to tell you the truth XOM likes geoscientists in management, not MBA's. XOM does a hell of a lot more than buying a few mortgages for our society (that would be like throwing a doallr in the offering plate for them). So all of you who actually take any of this article seriously, try Paxil, you might actually feel better about yourself.       Sep 14 08:35 AM

      Yeah, I am long BAC. Yeah, I am not so happy about it. Yeah, the only reason I hold onto it is the realization tha there has to be at least one bank out there that doesn't fail over this financial mess we are in. At least one Ken. AT LEAST ONE! Sep 14 08:26 AM

      tidewater libertarian~

      Did you know that in July of 1936 it was 108 in Minneapolis?

      It was 104 in 1934,

      and wow, in the same year it hit 106.

      Holy crap. the end is near. The oceans are going to boil and our only hope is to vote for Obama.

      This is the typical SA article where the buffoons preach to the buffoons.

      The only difference here is that the author actually called the buffoons buffoons in the article. Nice job you all.

      Not one lick of sense amongst the whole of you.

      Larry,

      I think even I, a tiny little high-end woodworker, could run CC better than current management.

      Atrocious.

      I am sure you could do much better as well, let alone Icahn.

      What amazes me is that the same people who complain about the source of the energy are the same people who are least willing to do anything about it, except for complain.

      The fact remains, energy cannot be created or destroyed. Also the natural tendency is for energy to be dispersed (increase in entropy).

      No matter what you do, there is going to be a trade off. Every energy source has it's impacts. The environmentalists hate the dams, they hate the oil rigs, they hate the manufacturing plants and corporations that create solar, they hate that the wind turbines kill birds, they hate nuclear waste. Ignoring these people is what needs to be done, and for the people who are in charge to develop a plan where all sources of energy that we know of today are used to effecitively and efficiently. You are not going to decrease the demand for energy, and if there were better alternatives on the market, they would be out there.

      I always laugh at people people who jump up and down about clean energy and say that there are alternatives. This is a global economy, and if you think there is a way to really keep the new energy technology under wraps you are seriously deluded. The market is constrained by energy right now. There a millions of scientists trying to find new and more efficient ways to use the energy we do have (take a look at the cell phone/.PDA market if you need help).

      Nuclera energy is a viable alternative. I studied as much as is available to the general public about chernobyl. Someone effed up, big time. Hmmm, and some people say that socialism and communism are good things. Nuclear energy is being used today, it will continue to be used and it will continue to be researched and developed.

      This society needs energy to run. Plain and simple. You take that away and you will have some serious problems which make a global food crisis seem like a nice, cute little walk in Central Park.       May 10 12:29 PM

      Apple should be embarrassed, but I figure that they will be following their current "plan" to re-invent everything and sell it to the idiots of the world.       Apr 28 01:59 PM

      Quote from article:

      "Garmin benefits from offering high-end devices for aviation and marine navigation — and from reporting in dollars. Also, it plans to meet the cell phone threat with its own combination phone and navigation device later this year, and it has announced a partnership integrating AOL's MapQuest into its devices."

      Exactly what we are talking about here.

      Do you think tha GRMN is doing a bit of data collection and reducng their reliance on any company that provides mapping data?

      If I were at the top there, I would have a team of lawyers protect and making sure that any additonal data collection ensures proprietary significance and any existing contracts suggest that the changes to data tables inherently alters proprietary rights.

      NVT would then be meaningless, and so would nokia. I get the feeling that nokia got a sour deal here.

      I tend to believe that the people in charge at GRMN are a hell of a lot smarter than you are giving them credit for.

      Now, as far as your speculation goes that Cell Phones are the only way people get their info . . . I am not so sure I agree with that. Cellphones are cell phones. Even though I would love to have one of those 1960's AT&T land line phones in my house, I am not going to go out and get one. Phones are a disposable item, and I doubt they will ever serve the same purpose as a PND. Now, in that thinking you have to realize that PND's will NEVER penetrate the market like cell phones will, UNLESS some genius can force the PND into a cell phone.

      My guess . . .

      GRMN will couple themselves with a cell phone manufacturer (sound familiar) and force the integration. After this technology hits the market, AAPL will come along and reinvent the cell-pnd union and tout it as the newest technology that exists and all the latte sipping, Onion believing Madisonites will help to make it the next new fad.

      At that point we will see that PND's, cell phones, and personal data storage and utility devices will merge into one. I think Nokia is a little late to the market, and all GRMN has to do is to start building cell phones (instead of buying a cell phone company) and align themselves with a few international carriers and build a NEW WORLD NETWORK. How would evaluate GRMN then?

      That being said, I am still going to sell when GRMN hits 70, unless the news changes and the madisonites start chanting in some binary mapping unison.       Apr 23 06:58 PM

      "Garmin is scheduled to release earnings on April 30. Recent earnings announcements have beat estimates, but a bad miss could wipe out our entire position."

      Just a little fact checking here:

      GRMN beat estimate for the last 14 of 15 quarters with an average "surprise" % of 17.5. The one miss was a $0.003 in 3Q06.

      I wouldn't go and suggest GRMN is going to miss, which you didn't, but you did not do justice to GRMN track record for the last 4 years.

      That being said, there was a press release about a revenue drop. That has to be factored in by now, as there have been many other price adjusters in the last month. So, if GRMN even comes close to the "street" then we should see a bounce. If you were watching GRMN at the last quartely report, you would see that a great report yielded a decent drop in share price. In today's market, I think that it is better to tell eveyone you are going to be broke in a month, and then beat, than to "meet the street". A true sign that the nellies are still in charge of this market.

      With all of that being said, I am curious as to why anyone would head to the options market when S&P still has a strong buy and a 12 mo. target of $105?       Apr 22 08:43 AM
