      Why Cramer Should Be Suspended
      jason schwartzman - sounds like someone drank some hater-ade.
      quite a damning piece from someone who is relegated to writing hack jobs on seeking alpha. mad money is ENTERTAINMENT. when are people going to start taking responsibility for their own actions?? CNBC will get rid of him when his ratings no longer make his the most popular on the network, and not a moment sooner. don't be naive.

      could it be that through all of whats going on in the markets - this is the best article you could come up with? looks like you need to brainstorm a bit more next time....

      5 Reasons Stocks Will Keep Falling
      "And while prices at the gas station and grocery store have never been higher," - actually they have. do you remember when you were paying a DOLLAR MORE for a gallon of gas?? i understand that you had to add that statement to reinforce your picture of doom and gloom, but it looks rather pitiful, on your part, to simply make stuff up....


      so - the sky really IS falling. thanks for the info. now - let's make your article useful - tell us how long it will fall. or will it simply go to ZERO and shut down.... (because that's the impression that you give).

      redman - what you don't seem to understand, is that the pain "everybody else is feeling" is about to get A LOT worse if banks cannot lend money. this isn't about punishment - that can come later. this is about preservation. don't get it twisted......

      Elan Corp.: Bounce on Goldman Positivity?
      your post is spam. where on your site does it mention anything about goldman's positivity? besides the FIRST sentence, where else on your entire crappy site is ELN even mentioned. did a search and nothing came up...

      lousy spammer.

      Wyeth and Elan Take Hits on Bad Trials
      i must admit that i am mighty impressed that you called the failure of the alzheimers drug trials (u must have made a BUNDLE on your short!!!), but i am confused. what EXACTLY about the trials was a failure and if it was worth the stock dropping 40%, why would ELN proceed to phase III?
      i tried reading your previous post about it, but the link is broken. i went to your blog, but i get the 404 msg....

      Steve Jobs: Honesty Is the Best Policy
      wow. i intended on lambasting you on your opinion about jobs and his right to privacy, but instead i find myself defending you and your language. all the posters who think that fred should "clean up his language....": are you all a bunch of buttoned up pansies? do you refuse to read any literature that uses any "dirty" words??(and he actually "bleeps" out the true spelling of the word) geez. also - if you noticed, he is QUOTING that "dirty" word.
      people - GROW UP. what a bunch of whining babies.

      and oh yeah - try taking a reading comprehensions class or two.....

      Terra Industries: An Interesting Fertilizer Play
      "When he said that TNH's dividend was going to be reduced the stock was at $141" - huh? and that is significant because.....???


      "Now it is at $112. I'd say people would have done well to heed his advice" - yes, because getting paid out 16% per share REALLY sucks.....

      what he did with those prior articles was do a lot of fancy numbers crunching that was WRONG. plain wrong. significantly wrong. the authors deserve praise when they write good stuff, but equally deserve to be chastised when they get it wrong (especially when they are a bit smarmy about it....).

      one more thing - that theory about TNH rising considerably into earnings: no longer true. or maybe this qtr is an anomaly.....

      let's see, you said in your last article about TNH: "the bottom line is that unsuspecting, uninformed shareholders are going to get a nasty surprise when the next dividend is declared."
      the number that you gave readers as the "nasty surprise" was 30% LOWER than the declared distribution. what i find HILARIOUS is that you still have the gall to write in your article:"I warned that unsuspecting TNH unit holders may not get the payout they were expecting."
      ummmmmmm.....yeah i guess you did warn, but you were WAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY off. i guess 57 cents lower isn't quite as DRAMATIC as the 1.63 you said was going to drop off the distribution. did you think that no one would read your previous articles and call you on your shoddy predictions (or at least fuzzy math)?

      a lesson, people: the folks who write these articles are not PROS. take their articles as fact, and try to implement the ideas into your trading/investing and you will get exactly what you paid......nothing. (in this particular case, less than nothing).
      many authors write this stuff to inform, but many let self esteem get in the way and the desire to inform morphs into the desire to massage their own egos. i am sure that tim started off with the best of intentions, but he let that desire to "tell-you-so"... get in the way and fell FLAT on his face......


      better luck next time, tim.

      :)

      amen, tim. LOL - why pay for radio when i can get it for free? maybe its the lack of content on free radio. or maybe its the 15 minute commercial blocks. or maybe the only talk radio on free radio refuses to talk about anything but illegal immigration (at least in the los angeles area....i JUST COULDN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE). maybe its howard stern. i can't really pinpoint it.
      here's a question: why watch "grey's anatomy" when you can watch the sopranos? why watch "how i met your mother" when you can watch "curb your enthusiasm"?

      anyone who can't see how much BETTER sat radio is, is BLIND (or at least deaf.....)

      as far as earnings? they'll come. as soon as they can get through the red tape created by the NAB, xm and sirius can move on with the business of making money. (and believe me - they will). siri is a stock that you either daytrade (super liquid) or buy, put in a drawer and pull out 5 years from now.

      oh and vicar - remember: content is king. xm and sirius can afford the BEST, and i can't help to think that any internet radio company would be hard pressed to fund any content worth all that much. and as far as MUSIC goes, i think that they would be hard pressed to pay the royalties, either......

      use your head, vicky, baby.

      "Oh - and whats all the venom goin on here ? I find most articles here quite interesting reading, regardless of typos. My God some of you need to disengage your hate and engage your higher thought processes.

      Maybe learning how to hedge, and switching to decaf might help too !"

      its called "being called on the carpet". there certainly ARE some good articles on seekingalpha, but its our job to police the writers who are delivering sub-standard writing. this particular article was sub-standard. should we sit around and praise every article simply because its printed??

      sloppy writing. your first introduction of "highest yielding" stocks should mention "dividend". many people have no idea what "yielding" is. also - although its understandable that you might have concern over a company getting RID of its dividend (which would eliminate it entirely from the "dogs of the dow" list), once you start looking at each company, dissecting why you SHOULDN'T buy, you go against the whole idea of blindly following the DOGS of THE DOW rule. you don't buy "some" of the top 10 with the highest div. yield, cherry picking which ones you think may have trouble down the road. its simple - you buy THE TOP 10 HIGHEST DIVIDEND YIELDING companies on the dow. no need to re-invent the wheel. if you feel so inclined, change the name of your article to "picking stocks in the dow", since it seems as though you've thrown the whole "dogs of the dow" theory out of the window.....

      congrats - you've come up with your very own 4 stock list (to be called the DOGS OF THE DOW it needs to include 10). your article ends up being a total waste of time.....

      sheesh.
