Under The Radar News - Friday

Well User, I am not a big fan of Jags, so I really don't care either way, but I would bet that a product produced in India would be far superior and at a much lower cost than in th UK.

My big beef here is the fee for all that warner has going on. So, they want to charge me for music? Hmmm, I get my music the old fashioned way. I go to the store and I buy a CD. Sometimes I even go to Cheapo and buy it used. Would they have a portion of my gas tax because I drove to Cheapo? That's like taking the rivers licenses away in a city beacuse one of it's citizens got a DUI.

Ridiculous.

Utterly ridiculous. I guess I will just stop buying music and start stealing it.

Financials Offer Patient Bulls Many Opportunities

Earnings will be fine once the major losses are done being written off, which is presumably already priced into the stock at this point, no?

With all of the doomsdaying nellies out there, I would say that it is more than factored in.

Prospector -

I am new to the market (investing wise). I could not see a better time to buy into financials. I still see no better time over the next three months. Although I am breaking even on everything right now (which says a lot since I started buying in early November), I see that in the next 8 - 16 months I am going to be very happy I put my money where I thought it should go. I have only fallen once when I chose not to buy ETFC at 2.08. I have had C on a watch for awhile and I will continue to watch. Unfortunately, I still think C has a huge write down coming, or a couple. I am going to wait until the next beating (or two), then buy.

One thing to remember is that we have an election year and the fear mongering in the media is going to be many fold. The economy, in the eyes of the media, is going to be the worst in decades for the time until at least late November, then the party that wins will decide how quickly the market will turn around. If the naysayers win, well, it might be May of 2009 before we see beauty in our current investments. If the yeahsayers win, well, probably beginning right away and a banner Christmas (compared to this last one) will be had, sending confidence through the market. Either way, does it matter? Doubling your money (or even quadrupling it) is no losing game in a few months over a one year investment.

Agreed . . . putting all disposable money into the market when I get it. Oooops, there goes the retail sector.

Cheers
