      MSFT's Call Option on YHOO
      Non-sensical analogy.
      Why has not the price of YHOO gone back to where it was pre MSFT bid(s) ? I don't think it;s because of Yang's predictions.
      Apparently the market thinks MSFT will get YHOO at it's current price once it's obvious YHOO won't go any lower.
      The investors are beginning to revolt against the board (Yang).
      I have some 30 JAN 09 calls in both MSFT & YHOO.
      Had a profit in the MSFTs but being inherently greedy I'll wait.

      The End of OPEC
      OPEC members do what the hell they want to do anyway.
      They have no incentive to lower prices now.
      Even if we develop significant alternate energy sources (which we should) this will not affect the demand from the developing countries.
      We still have inefficient machinery that uses oil and unless that can be converted (not likely) to use alternate energy then our use of oil will at least stay the same.
      The only reason oil price will come if it is really being driven by speculators (wish it were true) and unless the demand figures are inflated and the supply low balled I can see no reason for a price decline - rather it will continue to increase.
      Some say $80, some say $150.
      I say bend over and grab your ankles.

      Gates Puts Faith In "Microsoft Innovation" - Isn't That That an Oxymoron?
      Gates wouldn't know how to mechanize a NEW idea if it bit him in the ass. If it wasn't for Gary Kildall and Digital Research, Sun & Xerox, there would be no Windows or Microsoft..

      'The Worst Is Over for Financials' - Really?
      To: your_avid_investor
      I believe most of us like her articles.
      Have a suggestion for you - on my screen it shows the article AND the author (the person who wrote the article). When you see her name - just don't put your little mouse thingy on that line and your Alpha experience will stay pleasurable.

      If anyone thinks it's bottomed they are whistling in the dark and peeing into the wind.
      When we start sending people to jail the end may be in sight.

      Is Oil Bubbling Over?
      I just heard Bilary say: "we are going after OPEC and the oil companies - we are not going to continue to let them sit in their boardrooms and gouge us, rant, rant, rant."

      I would like to ask HOW ?

      1. If I were OPEC I would let her know who really has the "power". Tomorrow and for one day:
      2. I would stop drilling.
      3. Oil tankers would not leave port.
      4. Pipelines would be turned off.
      5. Close all gas stations.
      6. Stop all deliveries of any petro chemical related goods to stores, etc.
      7. Shut down all refineries
      8. All tanker trucks would pull over and take the day off.

      Take that - you big mouthed idiot twat.

      On Yahoo/ Microsoft: Jerry Yang Should Be Fired
      I thought I was a dumbass when I watch some of my options go in & out of a profit but I can I hang on (greedy) and sometimes it works (rarely). I'm the only one I have a fiduciary duty to make money to. Jerry lang,Yang whoever is royally screwing his - correction - NOT HIS - yahoo shareholders but looking a gift horse in the mouth. Almost wish I had some stock so I could join in the class action suit. I do have some 30 Jan 09 calls for both yhoo & msft. Already had profit in msft but waiting. Now it appears I should be able to more than recoup the yhoo loss that will occur on Monday. But I may be buying and selling some yhoo calls on Monday. God, I love this country !

      Housing Data: Crybabies and Deceivers
      mlambert writes -
      "I mean net this out... What is the point of these articles? That real estate is now past the point of recovery, will only continue to sink, and is effectively dead? Yeah ok. Thats why my EU friends are snapping up the prime stuff in NYC and FL."

      Why don't some of your EU friends buy your property ?
      I will assume that none of them are from Japan - seems to me I remember when they damn near owned NYC - do you remember how that worked out for them ? I'm sure THEY haven't forgot.
      Trite but true - forget history and you are doomed to repeat it.

      Of course if he thinks these articles are pointless (most of us don't) then he will probably never visit here again. (sobbing now)

      Housing Data: Crybabies and Deceivers
      jimocarroll hits it right on the nose. Mean, medium, average, peak, etc., don't really mean s**t.
      The PRICE of housing doesn't mean anything unless you are buying or selling and there are so many variables the only one that means a rat's a** is what a comparable in your area is being SOLD for.

      Remember - RE is a sales game bigger than used cars or the market.
      "VALUES" increase - "PRICES" go up & down. Being a geezer/gummer I have probably bought/sold more houses than most - sometimes had to but never lost money, broke even a few times and did very well a couple of times. If you can take advantage of the cycle you have it made.
      We all know it's not prices, inventory, etc., that have have caused the problem - it's the result of bottom feeding salesmen, greedy mortgage brokers and banks. Being a gullible buyer doesn't make you any less stupid. mlambert will figure it out one of these days.
