Cramer's Stop Trading! It's All About the Dividend (11/24/09)

Yea, but traders don't want to invest in a stodgy stock like T or vz when they can ride the wild bull up 35% in a few days with another trade. Dividends are for slow folks, traders are high flyers, shoot from the hip, sleep in the street, gun slingers, especially now AND they have been right. How much is the market up? Personally my gunslinger days are past but I can't deny a damn good trade that pays 24% profit in a week or day or an hour.

ETF Market Trends: Just Another 'Debase' Party on Wall Street

Why would a country do away with dollars when they are so cheap? They won't. Am I the only who sees a BUBBLE in gold. The gold bugs, AKA end-of-the-world gold nuts are buying like the, well, you know. All I know is when the end comes gold is worth zip. A BIGMAC (c) will be worth everything. Short gold NOW. The end is not near or here.

Agency-Backed Mortgage REITs at a Crossroads

Yea, but what happens when interest rates climb in 2010?

Where the Wild Things Are (Portfolio Edition)

The US is NOT Japan and any illusion to such is false. They had entirely different problems and did nothing. The US, right or wrong, is doing something. Of course a week/strong dollar is a double edged sword. Why people to buy our goods and services, then a strong dollar is not good. A week dollar has its drawbacks as we all know.
The banks will muddle through. All the free money they are getting will and is helping. I agree the economy will limp along through 2010. And let me make a jab at the fiscal conservatives who believe in "let'em eat cake" let every business fail and all will come out warm and sunshine. These must be the "end of the world" folks buying gold. Now there is a bubble.

Inflation Expectations on the Rise

Problem with all this inflation talk is: In case you havn't noticed we are STILL in a recession with no exit from such. There canot be inflation without the economy heating up and the economy is warm. If you look at the housing market, a great indicator of inflation, the economy is room temperature at best. Inflation is NOT in the near future. Sorry all the talk of inflation is premature and (conservative politics) wrong. There is no wolf. Sorry for all this sunshine.

Loans to Congress: The Untold Debt Story

It is a wordy end of the world article. Edit out 500 words, it droned on and on and on and. . . Loans to Congress is the ONLY way we got out of this recession scenario. Yes, we are out, sorry some of you for the good news. Do we really want the conservative approach to economic recovery of "Let'em eat cake" and let's not help anyone EVER?

Report from Europe: All Bulled Up Pre Fed Meeting

Just a comment on IRE the Irish banks and banks in general in Ireland.
They have yet to create the "Good bank, bad bank" scenario. They probably will, assuming they can get the money loaned to them. Like all banks they will not do well unless and until the country does well. Ireland is a basket case, they spent like drunk (I won't pick on the navy) for years and now have to pay up. Look for a long slow road back until the wind at your back and sunshine on your face in Ireland happens

What Happens If Roubini Is Right?

The doom and gloomer shere at SeekingAlpha-ville have been wrong, constantly and consistently wrong. The END OF THE WORLD is not upon us. Sorry for all the light and sweet music, but you investors who keep saying the end is near are funny and only show you are investing with emotions and/or are republican sore loser that want the administration to fail. You are all bloody wrong and have been for months. Sorry, that is the fact jack.

Downgrade Coming for Bank of Montreal?

The good natured hockey pucks up north know how to run banks. The Canadians are not the wild eyed profit sluts found in US banking. I say they do just fine, thank you.

The Greatest Depression Is Coming

More end of the world crap. SA is getting as loose as an old whore here allowing these wild neo-conservative speculations. Come on editors get some reality here and stop fanning the republican propaganda. This article is wrong and you bloody know it.

United States Natural Gas Fund: No More Futures?

All the gnashing of teeth on this fund is due to the price of NG. With the price down the panic sets in and people think there is something fundamentally wrong and it needs to be fixed. What is wrong is simple--- price. Let the bloody thing alone and soon enough the fund will rise and all will be happy and go away to another perceived problem. Why are people always trying to control things? And then we have the wacko folks that think the game is fixed and they lost money because of MANIPULATION.

Fadel Gheit: Oil Prices to Remain Inflated but Don't Pass on Gas

Come on financial conservatives, the price of oil was manipulated up by traders to insane levels. There was no correlation between supply and demand with oil rising to $100 plus. Speculation clear and simple.
But I will agree that's way the market forces work.

Are Bond Investors Wrong?

Inflation? Bring it on. Let's pay off some of that old debt with fresh crisp, loose money. Yea baby! But seriously folks... The above posters are correct: What inflation? We are still in the black hole of a recession and inflation is still next year at the earliest, if ever. Remember our good buddies over at the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates in a flash. All you, no offense, TBT, TLT holders betting on the END OF THE WORLD SCENARIOS, well, you are holding dead money until it (if ever) happens. Note: Never bet with the end of the world scenarios like inflation will collapse the world's economy. It is silly. Now back to the show.

Report from Europe: The Wizard of Oz Brings Forth the Bull

Who cares about the dollar? Really? It has made no bloody difference.
Sure US companies have made money selling overseas with a cheap dollar. The rise and fall of the Yankee dollar has not made any difference whatsobloodyever.

Why Natural Gas ETF Has Resumed Its Climb

Can we say bottom? Winter is coming, demand goes up.
