Seeking Alpha Stock Market Email Alerts FAQ

I haven't received my Alpha for about a month. I have signed up and
have put your name in the computer address book. Is there something
more I should do?

Harley Will Sputter Into 2009

I suggest that Harley go back to the protected market it had in the 80s.
That puts a tarrif on import bikes so American products can recapitalize.
It worked once and might work again. Their product is certainly much better
than it was. And their dealers are much better developed than before.
It's better that way then wait for a new owner down the road.

Definitely No Shortage of Money

Putting all the chips back on the table is quite a job. Most small credit
unions seem to have money for cars and houses. Now GMAC has
money for new car loans. As you state, some of the bailout money is
stuck in bank reserves. But I feel you are correct, there is money out there.
Lots of people still buy CDs from a variety of banks. That money goes somewhere. You are a spot of sunshine in an otherwise bleak world!
Write again sometime?

What's in Store for 2009? Gold, Metals and Other Markets

Good assessment. Good backup on facts. A tough year ahead.
Keep printing your ideas. What do you think keeps foreign capital
comming to the US? Best Wishes.

Bernanke's Great Lie: The Gold Standard and the Great Depression

Nice article. It should get wider circulation. I was against "floating" the
currency. It has worked out, like the "standard of living index" but it
was controversial at the time. We would be better off with metal backed
money. That might not be fair to other countries but we would be
better off due to the price of oil and so on. All this business was
theoretical in the seventies. What made us do it? Maybe the grist
of another article. Thanks for your trouble.

Best Wishes,
Bob

Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News

So much for the bad news! What is the good news?

Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News

Everyone seems to have a plan what to do with the bail out money.
There can only be a very few winners. The money won't go far
enough if it is spread thin.
Hopefully, the car companies will be an exception. They have
a reputation of getting through tough times. And they haven't put
anyone out of business. I say they are worth a chance.

Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News

I worked in the automotive business for 25 years.  It has already beenthrough some tough times.  Easy credit has always been a big help.Now, it's a matter of life and death.      I say, see them through the bad times.  Better things are comming. The alternative is the end of the domestic automobile industry and their suppliers.  Lots of lost jobs and the beginning of a serviceeconomy for many communities.     I can't see helping the Japs is in any way in our best interest. 
Wall Street is in too much of a hurry to see things clearly. This
down turn may last at least 10 months while they write off all their
bad debt. Many businesses won't last that long if the government
doesn't step in and bail out these larger lending firms in trouble.
As for the unions, they take their chances. I have had businesses
close down under me because of union pressure. They know times
are real bad now but they have no choice. They have to protect their
members. To start over is unthinkable.
I think blaming the automobile companies is not the place
to start. There is a lot of big business out there that does what
they please. They control wholesale prices and do a lot to
rate the prices of goods and services. If the market were pure,
you would see prices go down. But no, they go on or up at a
unconsciousble rate. So see them likewise as a self-defeating
to the American Purpose. Where are the price controls like we
have had before? Where was gasoline rationing when the prices
were very high? We have lots to do before we should be blaming
car companies for their small bit of the overall market.

Must Settle - Cramer's Stop Trading! (10/20/08)

Go Cramer Go. The bottom is probably 10 months away. But so what?

Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News

Bla Bla Bla. I live near Chicago and I never hear any of this.
Obama is smarter than all this concoction. He is liberal in
his convictions. Those leaderless people need self esteame and pride.
Alternative schools are not new. This is not the only one that gets
into Anti-American issues. Like a lot of immigrants, these Blacks
use their children as shelter in a hostile world.
I would let Obama off the hook. Being a church member and
overseer is not grounds for divorce! Education is always
important.

Prefer a Yield - Cramer's Lightning Round (10/10/08)

Cramer is still worth is weight in gold. He always has good directions.
He had nothing to do with the savings and loan troubles nor did he
contribute to the recent investment bank failures. He is trying to make
you money not sort out the lies of Wall St.
I got out of the market in February. I couldn't have predicted the
market would crash. It shows things in New York are linked very
closely with the international scene. A little corruption goes a long
ways. Keep going Cramer! We're with you!

Clueless - Cramer's Mad Money (10/8/08)

Ideas are powerful tools. Thanks for the info. Watching stocks still doesn't cost anything!!!

Throw Everything At It - Cramer's Mad Money (10/1/08)

Cramer is a good fellow. He always has an edge in the Market.
Investors need advice now not next week. His advice is as good
as any in the WSJ. Assuming you only have so much to spend!

Regardless of a Bailout, US Economy is Decelerating

The President is correct. We do have a responsibility to bail out our
economy. Things might be bad for as long as 10 years, otherwise.
I say more investment will come to our shores from abroad. And
Wall Street will accept regulations from goverment to prevent the
problems from reemerging. I short, the tax payer is only out the
cost of maintaining they high risk mortgages, which should
average out to a profit if held to maturity.
What to do with corporation responsibility is another matter!
How the government should direct these troubled companies
should be up to the US Federal Reserve and the the US SEC.
It will be a new partnership. And it should work out.
