    • What Should Ambac's Connie Lee Be Rated? [view article]
      I don't believe that track records and parent companies are relevant to ratings. In fact, I'm pretty certain that it's just the ability to pay claims. Sep 03 04:57 PM
    • Playing the Market as Delinquencies Continue to Rise [view article]
      How is a short position a derivative contract? That's like saying that a long position is a derivative of a firm's free cash flows. Sep 01 09:13 AM
    • Recapping My Great Calls on Oil [view article]
      Your second paragraph proves that you understand nothing about financial markets. All price movements are speculative. That's why they say that the market is FORWARD LOOKING. Aug 17 04:19 PM
    • BankAtlantic: Why No Lawsuits From Positive Speculation? [view article]
      Being "wrong" is not the standard BBX is setting here. Using false information, and not changing it after the company informs you that the information is false, is worthy of a lawsuit. Jul 25 07:24 AM
    • WaMu to IndyMac Customers: Your Money's No Good Here [view article]
      JESUS H. CHRIST. PLEASE CHECK YOUR FACTS BEFORE QUOTING YELLOW JOURNALISM. THE COMPANY HAS ANNOUNCED THAT THEY ACCEPT INDYMAC CHECKS. Jul 24 06:46 PM
    • Financials Are Having a Dead Cat Bounce [view article]
      Yes, clearly the market is irrational to be snapping up these equities at a cheap price. After all, these companies will lose money forever, just like they did in the past. Jul 23 06:23 AM
    • Suing Critical Analysts Is Wrong and Dangerous [view article]
      You article misses the point completely. They're not suing Bove because he wrote a negative report about BBX. They're suing him because he used the information on the bank's holding company (BFC) as information on the bank. Bove refused to rectify his mistake when BBX notified him of this error. In times of severe banking crisis, such reports can trigger a run on the bank - this is not just possible, but even likely. Therefore, reports which are factually incorrect are irresponsible.

      Maybe next time you should actually read the report, and the complaint, before commenting on them.       Jul 22 07:39 AM
    • How Will Freddie and Fannie's Lifeline Affect US and Asian Banks? [view article]
      Yes, clearly the stock market is one big conspiracy. Jul 14 04:18 AM
    • InterDigital: Is More Good News on the Way? [view article]
      Guess not! Jul 08 12:21 PM
    • Following Big Money Pays Off [view article]
      Following "big money" is foolish. Preceding it is what you should actually be trying to do. You never want to be late to the party. Mar 26 11:15 AM
    • Gold and Energy: Only a Temporary Correction [view article]
      Gold and energy companies will continue to be profitable. But gold and oil are going down, because 1) the market is going up and 2) it's unsustainable to have commodity prices that high. Companies produce more, people use less, and prices go back down. This has happened over and over historically and everyone is always so shocked when it does. Mar 25 12:14 PM
    • 4 Factors Fueling Oil Prices Higher [view article]
      What a silly article! You cite the reasons why the price of oil HAS been increasing - these reasons are already well reflected in the price of oil. High oil prices are self-defeating. Oil prices are going to fall, folks. You read it here first. Mar 19 11:11 AM
    • Wednesday Outlook: Moral Hazard Be Damned [view article]
      But if I'm investing in stocks, then I'll just be getting back the money now that I'll pay in the future. That's okay with me. Mar 12 10:24 PM
    • Why We're Still in the Early Innings of the Bursting of the Housing and Credit Bubbles - And Implications for MBIA and Ambac [view article]
      Your argument seems to be that real estate prices will experience further downward pressure than what has already been priced in by the equity markets. Are you smarter than the market? I doubt it. Mar 08 07:34 PM
    • My Crude Oil Futures Strategy [view article]
      Your article assumes that the price of oil, a commodity, will keep rising. This claim is false. When you buy a stock, you have a small claim to the future cash flows of a company. If the company is profitable and growing, the value of the stock will go up in the long run. However, when you buy oil options, you have a claim to a barrel of oil. Commodity pricing is decided by supply and demand, and you have no way of knowing what supply and demand will be during that time (or if we discover an oil substitute). This strategy is pure speculation. Making your position long-term does not make it an investment. Feb 24 01:11 PM
