  • The Fannie and Freddie Anomaly [View article]
    Just because Fannie and Freddie are worth zero right now doesn't mean that the stock is going to go to zero. If that was the case there would be no airline stocks.

    I ask because I'm a shareholder. I've been holding since $1.15 and was too stubborn to take my losses when it crossed back over $1 several months ago. I bought this with a long term perspective, but I'm starting to come around to the fact that there may not be a long term. Within a month, FNM will either reverse split or be de-listed and I don't want to be a holder when it happens. I will spend the weekend trying to determine if there is anyway it can make a run to .60-.70 so my loss isn't so devastating. If not, I'll take my punishment on Monday.

    Thanks for the reply.

    This is probably due to the fact that China hasn't been playing king-maker in the Middle East for the last 80 years like the United States and other Western countries have been.

  • Why Apple Belongs in Every Portfolio [View article]
    I heard being an Apple investor is as close as it gets to being in a cult.

    As soon as they start paying dividends, I'll drink the Kool-Aid with you.

  • Wall Street Already Back to Its Criminal Ways? [View article]
    Asking if Wall Street is back to it's criminal ways insinuates that they stopped being criminals in the first place.

    It pains me that my retirement ebbs and wanes due to the whims of these fucking crooks.

    Where's my pitchfork?

  • Will All Be Well at Wells Fargo? [View article]
    If WFC didn't need the TARP money, why didn't they cut the government a check and repay the funds the next day?

    We have no clue what's on their balance sheet and how deep they're into CRE that is in the process of going bad.

    Long term, WFC should be ok. Short term they are going to get massacred.

    You mean outside of admitting that he used to manipulate the market when he was a hedge fund manager?

    Gold's price is mostly reactionary. I don't know how anyone can look at a chart and determine anything.

    The problem with debating a ID advocate about evolution is that those who argue against it are the ones who know the least about it. No where in evolution does it claim that a frog can turn into a human.

    Next you'll probably break out the weary "It's only a theory" and "If we came from monkeys, why are they still here" arguments.

    Feel free to join the rest of us in the 21st century at any time.

  • Buy Ford, Short GM [View article]
    "In all, President Bush has done a President's most important job exceptionally well: "Keeping us safe in times of war". Thank you Mr. President!"


    Yeah, he's done great. Oh, except for that one time when terrorists flew planes into the WTC killing 3000 Americans. Oh, and also that time he attacked a country that had nothing to do with Sept. 11th, resulting in the death of over 100,000 Iraqis and 4000 American soldiers.

    Yep, George Bush will be remembered as a great president...as long as everyone has their memory wiped this coming January.
