LoveShorting

Salesforce.com: Absurdly Overvalued

Consider me your fourth follower. Maybe I am not crazy shorting these scum bags. I appreciate your analysis. My reason for hating on them? Marc with a "c" is a pig. I always carry with me a 20-page Yahoo printout showing his daily (yes automated and legal) selling of shares from 2/5/07 to 8/15/08, some days approaching $1M. That's a lot of lack of confidence in his own company. And by what logic is that pathetic company doing so much for the human race that he deserves that level of compensation? The guy got lucky. He may be smart but he's no Einstein. He isn't curing cancer or bringing about world peace. Anyway, just like Enron, the market eventually catches up with evil ... so I will be short CRM as long as I can tap a keyboard.

Maybe the Market is crazy, like yesterday.
HH: I am ! (see my assumed name)
Moon: Always great to read your opinions. I find it hard to disagree with your logic (so I don't even try)...... keep writing.

enjoyed your writing, wish it was with half as many words, but I agree that the next move for AAPL is down and I just may take appropriate action (see my name).

We're Living Through the Best of Times

catchy title but as you say "we are all drinking information through a fire hose" so if your next submission has a few less paragraphs I might read all of it. but I will buy that book, thanks.

GREAT COMMENT and points for conciseness - - we are all bombarded with information !

Goldman Sachs: This Is an Investment Bank?

To author, JSG & Wildhawk - - exactly correct but can we Americans work together to stop them??? I am increasingly skeptical.
Ferdinand - - I'm sure they pay you well to continue the deception.

Beware Fortune Magazine's Gold Warning

Many commodities can hedge against inflation. You can't eat gold nor heat your home with it. Buy RJA instead, at least its components have real value ... we all gotta eat to survive. Gold is worse than tulip bulbs.
At least the flowers were pretty in the late 1700s..

America: A Bona Fide Plutonomy

another excellent read. now let's get some guns and get organized. there aren't that many of them after all... but I do not advocate eating the rich. They smell so bad they probably taste even worse. But

5 Tobacco Stocks that Should Thrive Despite Legislation

thanks for the psychological support - - long MO (and plan to hold tight) and plan to buy AOI based on a Barron's article over the weekend.

Sure It’s Legal … But Is It Right?

great article but as always, can we do ANYTHING to stop/reverse it? Maybe if the Chinese stop buying our treasuries?

grumpy capi - - yes, RON PAUL, the only decent guy in D.C., but
how did the voters react? They had a shot but were far too ignorant
to vote in their own self interest.

So we have greedy bastards on Wall St aided and abetted by ignorant voters. That's the recipe for this stew.
