  • Obama's Fiscal Stimulus Has Saved Jobs [View article]
    I personally saw at least 30 of the jobs Obama created.

  • 23 Bullish Breakouts on Big Volume [View article]
    May I suggest another consideration should be short interest in a stock, since initial breakouts are in part short covering.

    Also, to what degree should a breakout be discounted until the former high becomes support ?

  • 4 Earnings Season Option Strategies [View article]
    " even on eBay (EBAY), which sold off nearly 10% after earnings. I was able to purchase back the put options (closed the position) for a $4 per contract gain the following day. "


    After looking at the the option prices, presuming this means the profit was .04 per contract before commissions ?

  • Unemployment Claims: Watch the Distortions [View article]
    When Bush was President the unemployment rate was 6% and MSM told us that it was the worst economy in 50 years.

    Today the rate is over 10% ( and rising ) and MSM tells us we are in recovery.

    Brilliant !

  • Eight Restaurants with the Right Recipe for Lean Times [View article]
    Just wondering how the bottom line of any restaurant will fare if/when the companies are forced to provide health insurance for all or pay another 8% or more additional payroll tax ?

    Other cost increases could show up in higher energy cost due to "Cap and Trade".

    Combine these considerations with a difficulty to raise prices in a slow economy ?

    Something to think about ?

  • Are Discount Broker Shares Worth Owning? Depends Which One [View article]
    With the proliferation of even lower commissions from various other brokerage firms, ETrade and Ameritrade may be considered "Discount" house in name only.

    They may be a viable investment, but even a mildly knowledgeable investor would be disappointed in their commissions and service.

  • Dividend Buys: 3 Stocks to Watch [View article]
    Sounds good, perhaps slightly more difficult in practice. Considering that the price of the stock is adjusted down the amount of dividend after the ex date, commissions in and out, and tax considerations .

  • GE Down 10 Days in a Row [View article]
    Don't under estimate the market manipulation on the upside.

    In the last 10 years we have seen the tech, oil, and housing bubbles created in part by fast money and speculation.

  • More Heads on the CNBC Chopping Block as Financial Media Landscape Shifts  [View article]
    My problem with CNBC is the constant "cheerleading" !

    Understanding that the average viewer is a basically a long buy and hold investor, the template fits their audience. However, the constant bullish sentiment from many of the commentators and hosts gets irritating.

    Kudlow and Belski were bullish all the way down even saying, "There will be no recession . . . "

    The reporting was basically a repeat of the sentiment during the dot com bubble just a few years ago when the average investor got screwed before.

    "Fool me once . . . . "

  • Deflation Expert: How the U.S. Is Repeating Japan's Mistakes [View article]
    Seems like our fate will be either copying Japan or FDR.

    Consequently, the choice will be between a 10 recession or 10 year depression.

  • Why Is the Market Going Up When Jobs Are Going Down? [View article]
    I suggest there is just a huge disconnect between markets and reality.

    What did Nasdaq 5000 predict ? Even last year the Dow was near a high just before the Great Recession.

    The best anecdotal quote is that the market predicts or represents fear and greed.

  • The Problem with iPhone Killers [View article]
    Interesting the way the debate is framed using the phrase, "I-Phone Killers" considering Apple is currently in third place in the smart phone category worldwide. Any proliferation of Android would push Apple to number four.

    Similar to the computer industry, Apple get positive press for going from low single digits to high single digits in market share. Currently Apple is only number one in market hype !

    The real I-Phone killer is the ATT coverage network for which any other manufacturer would receive endless negative press.
