Do any of you think this will happen in the next two weeks or will the DOW stay above 9000 and oil above $40?]]> Mon, 05 Jan 2009 02:21:11 -0500

I also invested in Fannie Mae lol, I know it sounds stupid, but I wanted to try and take advantage of a company who is being backed by the Gov't, and I was about to invest in Citi Bank at $7, but when I saw FNM at $1.11 during Thanksgiving break, I'm like "oh wow, I can get a lot more shares if I go with Fannie," so I bought 800 shares at around a $1 and it's been down ever since!

I'm hoping the stock goes up to at least $2 before they do the reverse split, if Fannie does a reverse split, I'm buying Gazprom and some mining stocks, right now I'm on the sidelines waiting to buy more "X" and "CHK"

I'm confident that coal will pay off in the long-run, especially with the China demand, however, I know it would be wise to add natural gas to my portfolio, and I'm waiting on the sidelines to buy Chesapeake Energy at a lower price(I'm hoping the DOW will go below 8500 in the next two weeks).

However, I am considering investing in the Russian natural gas company--Gazprom(OGZPY... which is a monopoly, but I'm not sure if investing in something the Russian Gov't partly owns would be a good idea...what do you guys think?]]> Mon, 05 Jan 2009 00:45:27 -0500 BTU), Consol Energy(CNX), US Steel(X), and Dryships(DRYS).
