CNBC: Sue Herrera Tells It Like It Is

My cohorts and I played a drinking game and swigged each time that Erin embarassed a guest or colleague with an insult... needless to say, we were too drunk to trade.

E*Trade: Primed To Turn Around?

I too am long of ETFC. I too am also a client of ETrade's (and because of the previous stated panic) I am now also a client of Ameritrade and Schwab.

Hands down THE best trading platform out there.

The Cheap Oil Syndrome: 3 Stocks to Benefit

I've been riding this tide via CALL options on OIH - it can be quite lucrative. In my view having oil as a proxy for the dollar will prove to be a losing position if the US President ever decides to stop adding to the SPR, or when Shell produces an updated geological survey of Iraq. Unfortunately, neither of these events will be short in coming.

Food Prices Will Only Rise: The Time to Buy is Now

I placed a bet on GCC - the new kid on the block - but I'm holding onto DBA for the ride up. No doubt, the trend is from the lower left to the upper right.

Is WaMu the Next Bear Stearns?

WaMu is still advertising no money down, no/low document mortgages in my area (Bayside, NY). Doesn't leave much hope for those who would've thought they'd have learned by now....

Friday Outlook: Commodities, Emerging Markets

Brilliant brevity!
