Nephros: A huge "buy" from Frank the Gerbil!

Hi Frank, any other good advice? Hope i can ask if you know anything about XMDC.pk. They seem to be dealing behind the curtain and I am trying to find out about their merger with BioHap. Also if the BioHarp is a marketable/useful product. Don't run to much and stay hydrated.

Buy Shares of Imaging3 in Anticipation of Future FDA Approval

As with all investments the reality is the share price. As in the case of all Biomed/Med Device stocks, They Bleed Money. Usually when they bleed badly the stock price reflects this by going down. Watching this share price advance is a very intriguing sign. The world could use this device. I hope it is approved.

RE-INTRODUCE THE DAMN UP-TICK RULE NOW

Justin Hall, I agree with the desire to have the uptick rule brought back. I also agree with the idea for funds (and insiders) to disclose short positions. A previous commenter suggests that perhaps longs purchasing shares should then be limited to purchase on a downtick, absurd... Someone purchasing long is putting the money for gain or loss until shares are sold. Unless you are buying on margin you must have cash in your account to cover the expense of the purchase. Not true of selling short. A short seller is not financially at risk until the short position is covered. A short seller is supposed to have shares in the account they hold short positions in, or have them borrowed for that purpose. Unfortunately that also is not always done. (Naked Shorting). Were the brokers transacting the short trades to demand verification of shares held at time of a short sale, I believe that would help. It is more likely that someone with enough funds opening a short position on a downtick (or also uptick) to create downward pressure and hold, creating a depressed share price, then, were they to go long and and hold creating a situation where the share price advanced due to that investment. If the short was immediately responsible for the cost of shares it would be different. Perhaps to not be able to borrow shares at all would be better. I can't borrow short sellers stock positions to go long...I also believe that a short position should not be able to be closed until the long shares are surrendered.

More Heads on the CNBC Chopping Block as Financial Media Landscape Shifts

They could clean house and it would be a good thing. After the evolvment from FNN to CNBC and subsequent moves in hopes of ratings. The idea moved rapidly from innovative and incisive financial reporting to financial entertainment. Only a few really have deep roots in the financial industry. I don't know how many came to the air and really had no clue what anything was. May of the best have gone back to their own money management endeavors. Some of those who should have been the best only packaged entertainment or political commentary. Then there are also the supposed few who tried to perpetuate lies and half/missed truths. We as investors don't need self promoting journalists. We need honest, concise reporting. Maybe though there is a marked need for a financial news network but it should not be at the mercy of ratings inspired by fluff entertainment.

Here's Why Asia Must Eventually Ditch the Dollar

With the beginning of the Euro as a currency across borders the move has begun. There is the unused but still there NAFTA currency (Canada,U S, Mexico) with possible expansion south. There is a proposed Asian region currency, slowly in the works. There is room for others. When the bulk of the world changes from nationalistic currency, to trading partner currencies then the world will embrace a currency derived from the basket of all of these.

Sirius XM: There’s an App for That

If Sirius is serious about really making it, it needs to broaden out. The deal shouldn't have been just with IPHONE/APPLE, they should be making Docks and Apps for other phones and companies also. I would rather see Sirius tied to many stars, not just one. They have potential, when will they start to maximize it.

Galleon's Defense: Insightful vs. Insider Information

With all of the media attention , allegations of wiretap evidence, will we really ever know the truth? One would believe as is often the case when the Media runs wild with a story, No. The defendant(s) were guilty when the ink hit the paper. I don't want to defend someone I don't know and am unlikely to meet. I would like to defend the right to defense. I am disturbed by the conviction of individuals before the trial has even begun. What would be repaired if the individuals in this upcoming case were exonerated. The investments shown legal and prudent. Who will replace the loss it will cause the individuals and the investors. The course of Justice is usually fair The course of trial by Media attack packs is not. Will these media sites, writers and others make restitution, I think not.

David Einhorn: Break Up Too Big to Fail Institutions

Looking at Market Caps and Market Share perhaps there should be a limit imposed. When your market cap of a company exceeds that of some countries or your market share stifles competition I think you are too big. Should mistake or miscalculation occur more is at stake then the company or even the sector. This past year an example. Leverage may be your friend in many cases but it can also be a devastating foe, and to more than those making use of it. What macro economist wants to step up with a formula and what regulating body wants to demand what is divested, and how.

BioElectronics: ActiPatch vs. Extra Strength Tylenol Shows Encouraging Results

Should more trial data come showing Biels products beneficial, the most telling would be that it just doesn't mask the pain/discomfort, it heals the problem.

Sirius’s SkyDock App Debuts on iTunes

I wonder if Sirius is pursuing deals with other smart phone manufacturers. Could the SkyDock be tweeked that way too? Apple should not be the only partner in this avenue.

Sirius’s SkyDock App Debuts on iTunes

A good marriage. Iphone users can listen to Sirius Radio, when they hear a song they like and want to buy for their own library they can do so right then. Always keeping the personal supply of music fresh.

$2 Royalty Pass Along Is 'Sirius'ly Good Idea

I would be surprised if subscribers balked at the $2.00 charge. I imagine that SIRIUS informed on statements why this is necessary. I think far fewer people will give up subscription than might be forecast. Would you cancel your cable for 2,4,5$ I think not. I don't think anyone wants to give up the programing possibilities in the situations Sirius is listened to. You can get pretty much what you want with Sirius compared to mainstream radio.

Swine Flu Stocks: Where Are They Now?

Swine flu drug companies, or companies with a swine flu play. Be fair. Many of these companies are getting swine flu play because they have a related catalyst. Most have other types of drugs or technologies in the pipeline. Some are only back door flu plays but with potential.

Sirius XM Finds New Ways to Fill Its Proverbial Bucket

I wish they would offer outside the U S. I think that they would have quite a few hurdles to do that though. One thing I would say though to offer in foreign countries not only would they have to get approval by those governments. There may be interest in American style radio but the populations like to here there own too. You are not going to get some countries to go with Howard Stern and many could care less about Martha Steward ,Baseball, Nfl The Dead... Get the point?

As Jonathan Miller explains, the irony of the NY Times' cover story on the disarray in the real-estate appraisal market is that the same appraisers who were the source of overvaluation during boom times are now undervaluing because they think that's what the lenders want (they probably do). "Remember that in either the high or low scenario, it's all about making their clients happy."

user357 you must be joking.
