  • Fidelity National Finance: A Big Potential Turnaround Stock  [View article]
    >>>'...But of the 15 to 20 houses we’ve seen .......in the past three months, I would say all but two or three have sold....'<<<

    You would say?!? Hmm. Does this mean your recommendation is based on the uninformed conjecture of a potential home buying couple in just one market in the country?

    That certainly isn't much to go on. Did the earnings report (or is loss report more appropriate) fall in line with your expectations?

  • Waiting for the Inverse Treasury ETF's Glorious Day [View article]
    If you are a leverage addict, why settle for the watered-down 2x leverage?
    TYO and TMV offer the 3x leverage fix you soon won't be able to imagine trading without.....

    '..."Well, would you rather be castrated or try Provenge,"....'

    Do you really know much about what you are discussing? Castration as a treatment for prostate cancer?!!?!?! In what country? In what time?

    It is difficult to take seriously any of your assumption or 'logic' that follows.

    I guess the question most appropriate to ask you is...

    "Well, would you rather be castrated or try writing about things of which you have a decent understanding?".

  • Post-Crisis: Texas Housing Laws Could Help All Banks [View article]
    You indeed have come to a 'SIMPLE three word conclusion'.
    Whether or not this is a valid conclusion would require a little more information...
    -What constitutes a 'high cost mortgage? (Did you know for example that a mortgage in Texas is not high cost if it is greater than 1/2 the conforming loan limit?)
    -What percentage of mortgages are high cost in Texas?
    -What percentage of loans have prepayment penalties?
    -Are there other states that also have prohibitions on prepayment penalties? Have these states also outperformed similar states?

    There are so many other variables to consider. Your piece comes off as lazy. Was there a dead-line you needed to meet?

  • S&P P/E Ratio Is Low, But Has Been Lower [View article]
    >>>Finally, I should mention that this isn’t necessarily the way that others calculate PR ratios -<<<

    'PR' Ratios, huh? Very telling, whether fruedian or calculated.... Public Relations has as much or more to do with the caculation as Price and Earnings anyway, these days.
    I appreciate the reminder of how much the news is structured to elicit a certain reaction.
