VIX Hits 3-Month High, Market Skeptical About Fed's Power

We have hit the "lack of talent" wall when it comes to our elected representation. Washington won't or can't fix anyrhing until it suits their political power agenda. Bernanke and Paulson seem to be trying to do something, but they are shoveling sh*t against the tide with a teaspoon.

DryShips and the Oil Rush

The stock does perform poorly, but the sector is down in general due to the fluctuation of the BDI. As a large long holder of this stock, I can only look toward the earnings announcement and an improvement in the day rates as the better season progesses.

DryShips Deserves More Love

The shorters have killed the stock price, but I'm hanging in there. Shorting is the way the whole market runs right now. DRYS will catch them all hard someday and we'll be back in the black!
