    • Which Candidate Will Get to Spend the $700 Billion? [view article]
      candooman has it right. It started in 1977 and was made worse in 1999. Was there greed on Wall Street? Sure. Was there greed by mortgage brokers/underwriters/a... estate agents/contractors/inv... in every city across the country? Absolutely. Expect people to act in their own best interest. Oct 08 03:56 PM
    • Cramer: Dow Could Drop Another 14%, Oil's Going to $50 [view article]
      Great, now I have to resist covering my short and going long oil just because Cramer said it's going to $50. Oct 07 11:04 AM

    • Options Trader: Monday Outlook [view article]
      Interesting stats on the NYMEX trader. As for the Exxon bashing, my thoughts echo Mmarrkk. Jul 28 12:06 PM

      I don't like the idea of bailing out people who bought houses they couldn't afford. Screw them. Jul 22 10:27 AM

      LOL @ Al Rob. In Phil's defense, I think he has more good ideas than bad (even if they're all incorrectly based on everything being Bush's fault). Honestly Phil, the daily political rant is old. If you KNOW a market is being manipulated higher, go long. If you KNOW a market is being manipulated lower, go short. I don't care who is getting rich and who is getting screwed.
      FeverBuster - terrible idea. Not only do you want the government manipulating the price of oil with the SPR, but also you want them to lie about it? I wouldn't want them messing with the price of oil as much as I wouldn't want them messing with the price of AAPL, X, HAL, BUD, or GOOG.       Jul 11 11:37 AM
    • The Politics of Hurricane Insurance [view article]
      Why have insurance at all? The "gubment" bails out those who are too stupid to cover themselves for the event of a catastrophe. Insurance is legalized racketeering. The only reason they don't have higher profits is because they are so bloated with unproductive, dead-weight employees. Jul 02 09:24 AM

      I also noticed from your graph that the lowest quintiles had quite a slide from 1992 to 2000, while the top 1% quadrupled. How do you explain that? Jun 26 02:46 PM
    • E*Trade's 'First In, First Out' Position: Yes, 111M Shorts Can Be Wrong [view article]
      I don't mind if she pumps it as long as her facts are researched and she discloses her position. I just don't want to hear "I told you so," in a year. I could pump any random stock and I would probably be right (eventually). Jun 13 01:49 PM
    • Oil Prices and 'Wash Trades' [view article]
      I love election year articles. Oil is up -> CFMA2k -> Gramm -> McCain. McCain = Evil Thanks for the info Willy. I guess I should vote for socialism in November? Jun 13 09:29 AM
    • Banking Sector: 'Buy When There's Blood in the Streets'? [view article]
      Hey! What if the new currency was hot dogs!? Would you eat your money? I would! I'd eat it with relish and spicy mustard! May 30 11:13 AM
    • Who Will Trigger E*Trade's Magic Moment - and a 111.4M Short Squeeze? [view article]
      JBMaria - I guess it just shows you how useless it is to pump a stock on SA. May 30 09:19 AM
    • Oil Manipulations Exposed [view article]
      I have a couple of questions I hope someone can answer:
      1) Why wasn't the SPR full in 2002?
      2) Wouldn't NYMEX traders be the wealthiest people in the world by now?
      3) If so, how do I become one?
      4) Is everything a Bush-led conspiracy?

      I'm just about tired of every columnist's political rant. They claim the Bush administration is full of bumbling morons that somehow conceive and execute complex (and ingenious) conspiracies to fleece the American public.

      If traders, speculator, republican, democrats, or martians are manipulating the tech, real estate, commodity, or stock markets, I don't really care. As long as I know a market is being manipulated, I can profit off it.

      So what's the trade here? XOM, HAL, GS, USO, ATK, BA?       May 28 02:17 PM
    • ExpressJet Part II: Cashflows [view article]
      So it was CAL's idea to start branded service? hahahaha, very funny Buddy! A good management team wouldn't find themselves in that situation. If you think about it, the company would be worth more if they just shut down operations. Seriously, look at the balance sheet vs the price per share. May 27 05:01 PM
