U.S. Markets' Future - I Think

You seem like nice enough guy, Harold.

However, it must be said, there were MANY opposite "ignore the short term bearishness...we're FINE" articles circa 1998. The market will always improve/worsen before the economy.

While I'm not advocating "buy and hold", I would encourage everyone to trade what is in front of them. Right now, we're entering a bullish phase. Treat it as such.

Five Low-Priced ETFs

It would be a decent article if the "further research" results were added to the laundry list of sub $5 ETF's. As it is, there's NOTHING helpful here at all.

Citigroup Should Walk Away from Wachovia

The Citi suite is nothing but an exercise in legal isotonics. By the written agreement, the sale of WB's bank was contingent to shareholder approval.

What are the odds of the shareholders voting "yes" knowing WFC has a better offer waiting ?

An Overpopulated Solid-State Drive Market Won't Spur Much M&A

Perhaps the author was in too much of a hurry to thoroughly research the current state of SSD, but there IS one company with a definitive lead in both performance and implimentation.

STEC's Zeus drives have been used by EMC for the enterprise market this entire year. Also, STEC's MLC-based SSD's are reportedly populating Apple's MacAir.

Bottom line... Should STX (who needs it most, imo) or some other large company want to buy the lead in SSD technology, STEC could make an outstanding acquisition.

Harvest Energy Trust: Not Like Other Refiners

Short, to the point, and accurate.

Also, not many realize HTE's refinery gets a premium for its low sulfur diesel output. Very high demand for the product in Europe.
