Financial Stocks Are Ready for Their Pullback

"sand castles of purchasing power" sounds like a Danielle Steele novel.

RIM Grabs More Smartphone Share from Apple

ah, the continuing mantra of the jobsapplettes, all is well in well ville.

Fourth Quarter Sees Decline in Cell Phone Shipments

Not inclined to rely on DB analyst..most DB analyst missed on their analysis and certainly on their own employer.

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

I recall he put Wachovia on the buy list when he declared financials had bottomed and the housing recovery is less than one year away.

Big Picture Points Out 50% Retracement

If the talking wags would shut up and report market positives as well as the continuing saga of 80 year old has beens them maybe something would happen. I resent listening to greenberg, buffet, greenspan and gross. I don't care about what they think, only what they might know or suspect or was reported to them by someone with a name.

CNBC's $190 Billion Reporters

I was always told that if the "media" reports it, then it is priced into the market since media gets news later than the market. I certainly don't run and buy because CNBC has a story.

GSEs Into Conservatorship: Can Housing Stabilize Now?

Everyone assumes bankers know what they are doing, if they did how did we get here. as mentioned above, a while back the "sub prime mess" was contained, later the GSEs are well capitalized and can do their job. Next came "more banks will fail" but if FDIC needs money we can carry them too. LEH will sell ???? to raise capital, all is well but did they sell???
We have a new president and administration coming in a few months, will all the financial balance sheets be clean by then or does anyone know what is on the balance sheets. NAR says getting better, but they have been saying that for 2 years. Builder earnings down, but I think I see something at the end of the tunnel. Autos and airlines next for bailout.
It seems we only gave a breather to the MBS/CDO/etc foreign debt holders provided the government will do a better job of running Freddy/Fannie or maybe call the FSBOs.

A Closer Look at the Treasury's GSE Preferred Stock Purchase Plan

are xlf 09/10 calls options good for this announcement since it seems to be created to stabilize the housing mtg market and improve capital liquidity?

Finding the Upside with Broadcom

companies with criminal management do not deserve support

Will Brazil Really Nationalize Oil?

wow, spoken like a true socialist!

Why Apple Stock Is Poised To Go Flat - At Best

Mr Verke
In case you have not figured it out, anything critical of Apple/Jobs or other Apple things is actually worse than being critical of Nobama in a discussion with Oprah. Those neat little IPhones automatically contact each other and their owners when a negative appears in print so they can immediately attack the author. Good luck with your next point(s)

When To 'Believe the Hype' of a New Product

There was some "legal" wranglings about the name. I thought it had to be purchased from CSCO or someone. All part of the hype?

BlackBerry Bold vs. Apple iPhone: Two Very Different Experiences

Let me know where you all saw and used the Bold to justify your observations and comments to vilify a product from a company with larger market share and equal potential for growth than your snappy u tube player.

Financial Crisis: Getting Old

I reviewed a lot of published stuff for the past 12 months and see that once we were "contained", then the 2nd half of '08 would see the beginning recovery, now we "uncertain" and "maybe" half done. Bankers are not smart enough to know where they are and most intelligent ones are in other industries. No transparency then no buy. Statements on CNBC saying "it really hard to analyze Big banks" are useless as are their accountants. Everyone is just ponying up to the chow line, poor ignorant homeowners, banks, broker/dealers and next the autos followed by the airlines. We don't need to worry if Nobama wants socialism, we seem to already have it.

Dynamite Drug Stock - Cramer's Lightning Round (8/21/08)

If bear was "sold" at $10 then if WAMU sold/bought will it be for a similar price? The question is will it sell for more than the $4.00 stock price? No one knows, so it kinda like a roulette red/black bet.
