Is It Time for Capital Preservation Mode?

The funny thing is, at least Las Vegas has the attraction of GAMBLING... What does Dubai have? I kind of suspect that anyone who could afford to stay at one of those "seven-star" hotels and likes to ski could probably afford a side trip to, say, Killington.

Alcoa Reports a Stellar Quarter

So, let me understand this correctly: Aluminum prices increasing 18% sequentially with the company's revenue only increasing 9% while declining 33% year-over-year and every market but China (stockpiling) still flat on its back fits your definition of "stellar"?

Uh, okay.

It's all about the guidance, and I think you'll see companies guiding for a nastier-than-expected Q4.

Eventually, you will see a LOT more aluminum in cars, as lighter weight = better mileage. However, that's certainly not going to move this stock in the near-term.
