      You may be right on the result, but you're way off on the why's. Just look at this chart comparing AA with other large commodity companies:
      finance.yahoo.com/echa...?
      s=AA#chart6:symbol=aa;...

      Look famaliar - they should. All ran up a little too much, but are now ALL being destroyed by gangshorting. Put these stocks on the no short list and they'll stop the short conspired sell off also.

      First the monolines>then the big-money banks>then the brokerage houses>now the commodity comanpies> WHO'S NEXT.

      Analysts See Value In CPST
      I agree with everything you say, but when no one else does what does it matter. This market is so controlled by shorts that most good to great companies are still held back.
      And the equity offering occured because of our creidt crisis and banking fiasco - another short created disastor.

      The Short Selling Ban: Is CVS a Financial?
      At this point in time, EVERYTHING is a financial and should be protected agaisnt narcissistic short sellers. It's enough already. Last nite I even heard a report that Citi was coming up with a NEW way to short stocks to skirt the current restrictions. Outrageous!
      ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!

      FBI Investigates Victims of the Financial Fallout
      All I know is, is that it makes me vomit to see everyone bashing the CEO's (and I'm not thrilled with them either) and companies, when the true villians here are getting away scott free.
      Criminal - just criminal.

      Even the FBI misses the point. True, the crisis comes from the destruction of the CDO/mortgage market, but what was the cause of that market’s collapse.
      Yes, there is plenty of blame to pass around, but until short sellers attacked the CDO market so they could take down the monolines backing those CDO’s, there was no crisis.
      The FBI, SEC, DOJ would be better off investigating Pershing Capital and Bill Ackman to find out the true cause of this current market melt-down.

      It should be side-noted that NOW everyone is saying that all those mortgages and CDO’s will make the Government a profit when they buy them. Gee whiz, I thought Ackman and others has made us all believe that they were worthless. And I mean worthless – not worth less.

      Buffett Warned Us in 2003
      Yeah great for him, but what has he done to help? Nothing..Squat..Zero.....
      The only thing he can do is have interviews with Becky Quick telling everyone how great, but humble he is; or offer (as he did last year for Ambac) to buy a company for a penny on the dollar. I guess you could argue that in some cases, like Lehman, that would have better off then it is now.

      Buffett! Don't get me started!

      Selling Short America and the Rest of the World
      I think the point of the above article was that this is NOT suppose to be just a game. It really is suppose to be a way to build and prosper a Nation as a whole, and NOT just a small group of clever shorts who can create enough fear and mistrust so that their 'puts' can be filled.

      The 1st and ONLY article I have ever read (except for my blog that is :-) ) that finally tells the truth.

      Maybe this will help:

      Lehman Won't Be the Last Major Bank Failure
      Unfortunately, you probably will be correct. This entire mess>> from the monolines thru the commercial banks thru the regional banks and now thru the investment banks; will never end until someone takes out the shorts that have so carefully engineered this “Crisis in Confidence”.
      This reminds me of the scene from “Independence Day” when the Prez (Bill Pullman) is mind linked with the alien.

      ”I could see into the minds and I know what they are planning. They are locusts going from planet to planet, stripping it of all its natural resources. When they’re finished with one planet, then just move on; and we’re next!
      Nuke ‘em! Nuke the bastards!”

      Have the Limits of US Monetary Policy Now Been Reached?
      I'm not exactly sure about the US, but my limit was reached a long time ago. My limit was breached when everyone allowed Beare Sterns to be wiped out by a small group of short sellers whom had already engineered the general demise of confidence in our system.
      Just like oil and the so-called 'speculators' speculation, our financial system is based on parameters, some more esoteric then others, which have been destroyed by a select group of narcissistic short sellers.

      Fannie & Freddie did not have to happen, and we all need to look for the true reason why it, among others things did happen.

      You’ve all heard the anti-drug commercial: “A mind is a terrible thing to waste.” >>> well: “Confidence is a terrible thing to destroy.”

      Merger Watch: Longs Drug Stores - CVS Caremark
      To hell with that! $71.50 was too much - $73 to appease some egos is outlandish. CVS & LDG are in the drug, retail, & PMB businesses and not in to buying and selling real estate. If some greedy shareholders that just bought in 2 months ago want to trade property - let them go buy Century 21.
