World Acceptance Has the Goods; Citron Doesn't

Great Article. Citron is the old Stocklemon and totally a crooked operation.
World has a good business and makes good money year after year.
Few companies do as well.

Cal-Maine Foods: Buy This Golden Egg

In my opinion Calmaine is a steal at these prices. By any metric the industry has been consolidating and firms like this will be the winners.
Diividend is superior and so is the balance sheet.
Alais only one drawback is the industry is quite volatile in the short run.
Over easy or scrambled?

Cramer's Lightning Round - Getting Out of Line (4/2/09)

Seeing that Line is fully hedged on its production at $8 an MCF and at $90 a barrel through to 2011, it becomes evident that Cramer again is clueless.

The GM Bankruptcy Debate

I believe that the bankruptsy in a well thought way is the best solution. The Union and management have both brutality ripped the guts out of an all American Icon corporation.
GM has some positives but needs to address the negatives through bankruptsy.
Who ever heard of some of the benefits these people have been granting each other.

Details of Obama Housing Plan: Not So Bad After All

I don't like plans that reward those that were not responsible. Much better to let them get foreclosed and give incentives to people looking to buy a home.
Unfortunately the housing bubble created unrealistic prices and people that do not have the means to remain in their homes and I think it is not a good idea to have the nation plunge into the debt, debt that may in fact be way over our financing abilities.

Four More Banks Shut Down

Even in the best of times, small sloppily run banks are shuttered. I find the asset sizes of these losers do not cause me to feel that "The Sky is Falling".
In fact I believe that last year's banks were larger and established compared with these.
Frankly I believe that banks are somewhat on firmer groound than last year.
Also the economic woes really didn't start until later in 2008 so your comparison of early 2008 with 2009 is questionable.
Just my take

Cramer's Lightning Round - Don't Be Fooled by DryShips (2/12/09)

Cramer is nothing more than a showman. His picks stink and he is in bed with the shorts.
My advise is when Cramer says sell, look to buy!!
Why is this crooked idiot even allowed a microphone.
I will look at Dryships. I know the BDI has been surging and China needs lots of raw materials. Their economy can sustain itself.

Mexican Economy: Does What Happens in Mexico, Stay in Mexico?

Mexico is a wreck. Watch the border states, They are going to get hit hard.

Is Stereotaxis the Next Intuitive Surgical?

On the same type of situation I like ARAY. Seems their Cyberknife system is computed guided pinpoint radiation. The equipment is $4.5 million a copy and there is a maintenance annually of about 10% of equipment cost. Backlog is growing at this point but earnings are there but not great at this point.
Seeing it gets results painlessly without surgery and far fewer treatments than is normally required I believe the company will reach critical mass and the stock will go from $7 to $100 swiftly.
My pick.

Microsoft Walks Away From Yahoo Deal

Yahoo is just plain stupid and the company has executed everything they have done very poorly.
Their auctions closed down primarily due to an extremely bad search engine and horrible ratings on their sellers.
Their singles site also is quite poor.
Then their stock blog site is still running. It is unfiltered and allows all types of profanities to be posted.
Their alliance with AT&T on Internet Service is the only bright spot I have seen.
Now the Company has declined an offer which I believe almost all the shareholders would have been in favor of.
I hope Microsoft changes it's mind and goes for a hostile takeover

Does Ethanol Deserve the Blame for Rising Food Prices?

It is a pity to see basic food supply like corn being used as "fuel" and to boot it costs us a lot more $$$. Between increased cost of gas and the tax subsidy of over $.50 a gallon, not to mention the crisis at the grocery store that it is contributing to, the policy is a disaster.
Yes prices are rising, wheat has a fungus and costs are soaring but do we need dumb policies to add to our burden here.
Either make ethanol out of garbage or give it up. Corn is too needed in our lives.

CALM Longs Walking on Eggshells

Frankly I found this article to lack the fundamental analysis of the current global food crisis. Beef, Pork and Chicken is all being produced at a loss to the farmer. Eggs are profitable and an inexpensive source of protein.
The last big rise in CALM was the result of the Atkin's Diet and such a fickle source of demand is not there now.
There is a basic food shortage issue and CALM is one of the solutions.
