      Sarah Palin: Wall Street's Candidate
      What a ridiculous article. Hopefully you spend more time researching your investments than you do your political candidate.

      Beacon Power: My Top Stock Pick for 2008
      Phillip, I'm curious how you respond to The Street's review of BCON. I pulled this off an article entitled "Six Alt-Energy Stocks That Could Go to Zero":

      "Beacon Power (BCON): Beacon Power makes energy storage devices that use the flywheel-based technology. The financials at this company are deteriorating at an alarming rate. Recently, Beacon reported a first-quarter net loss of $5.29 million, vs. a net loss of $3.09 million a year ago. Revenues for the first quarter plunged sharply to $20,000, vs. $393,000 last year. That’s a drop investors shouldn’t ignore.

      The company continues to dilute shareholders by issuing new stock to raise capital. If the company was accelerating revenues at the same time, then the new stock issues wouldn’t be such a problem. However, that just isn’t the case with Beacon. The company’s burn rate of $5 million per quarter and only $25 million in cash on hand is another serious red flag. That only gives them enough cash to operate for a year and forces them to raise more money to survive. The short sellers are leaning on more than 17% of the float in this stock, and I think they will be right.

      The financials on Becaon speak volumes: market cap $117 million, revenues of $1.02 million, EBITDA of -$16.24 million and quarterly revenue growth of -94%. There’s no “beacon of light” at Beacon Power. I am giving this stock a one-way ticket to zeroville."

      Goldman: Readying Short Position Initiation Sequence
      Why short GS when there's easier prey to be had, e.g. HBC (under 200 and 50 DMA with declining RSI and MACD)? You're fighting 5 months of support at the $160 line. Risk-reward seems lower than some of the other financials. Good luck in the trade, though. Hope it works for you.

      Defining a Set of Core Asset Classes
      Nice article, Geoff. The correlation between Vanguard Large Cap Stock Fund [VLACX] vs. Mid Cap Stock Fund [VIMSX] vs. Small Cap Stock Fund [NAESX] was particularly interesting. In defining a set of core asset classes, I think it's also important to keep expenses as low as possible in order to maximize performance. I've created a core portfolio which creates diversification at a very low expense ratio/cost: EEM, EFA, IWM, IVV, SHY, TLT, LQD, TIP, RWR. I'll have to look at DJP and IGE as potential adds. Thanks for the article.

      Investing in Tankers: Ship, Ship, Hooray?
      H&S pattern confirmed. We can expect a retest of the neckline at $60 before the next leg down.

      Also check out SFL, which had a classic head and shoulders in May-June, which resulted in a 10% drop from the neckline at $30. It's since started recovering...

      Eli,
      Technicals look like a possible head and shoulders pattern (bearish) is forming on FRO, neckline at $60. I don't own the name, but would be wary of starting a position here until the pattern is broken. If it is a true H&S, we can expect a breakdown past $60, a retrace to the neckline, followed by a larger dip. Higher volume on the dips, lower on the retrace. What do you think?

      Nice article, Jim. I hope RIG gets to $100! I also like CHK but like you, I believe nat gas has more downside.
