Charlie Gasparino: Another Crash 'Has to Happen Again'

New President doesn't stand strong about America and Liberty.
His appointees are for the most part, just part of his gang sort of speak. Congress, the men&women have had a good thing going for many years, and it is either play ball, or your outed. So it continues onward. The health bill is merely a Tax Bill in disguise and the citizens of America, must brace for yet another screwing in plain English. Citizens are being screwed by Banks, Wall street, and many professional CEO'S of companies, along with their management teams, friendly Research firms, analysts, high target prices, etc..
Bailouts to Banks, aren't helping the potential American buyers
trying to attain mortgages with 20-25-30% down, because they are being denied left and right. It seems as if the Bank want to hold onto their new found cash instead.
The dollar is not as easy to exchange into Euro's in Europe, because many Americans have to travel Bank to bank to find one who does exchange the dollar today. Next, I understand the new trend for oil purchases, like in Norway, is not accepting the dollar for oil. So the movement is on to replace the currency in America,
and probably will take place within 2 years. Money,greed,and power, has reached new highs in America like the Plague.
YOU CAN NOT TRUST YOUR POLITICIANS, CONGRESSMEN,CONGRESSWO... OR GOVERNMENT WITH ALL THESE CROOKS STILL LINING THEIR POCKETS AND CONTINUED BALL PLAYING
GOINGS ON. TRUST IS REPLACED BY GREED, AND GREED
IS THE BEGINNING OF THE END. WE CAN ONLY HAVE A NEW BEGINNING AFTER WE HAVE A TOTAL COLLAPSE
OF GOVERNMENT,ECONOMY,THE AMERICAN DOLLAR,
WHICH WILL COME SOONER THAN LATER.

Four Biotech Stocks to Play the Sector Pullback

VFC-I am surprised you didn't include CELEGENE.
I AM NOT SURPRISED THAT YOU LEFT OUT 'MRNA'.
Which I have been requesting you to elaborate on for
the weary shareholders.
But VFC I think after this years turmoil on the stock market, economy, and many getting burnt financially already, it maybe time
for you to take a vacation. Regenerate, physically & mentally and
come back in January 2010 with a new attitude on investing.
Starting with you wearing a pinstripe suit,blue shirt, and red tie,
but sitting behind an oak desk, looking like a successful adviser
to the general public.
TIME TO WAKE UP VFC!

Property Values Set to Fall 43% from Current Depressed Levels

WAIT JUST A MINUTE! THINGS ARE BAD AND SEEMINGLY GETTING WORSE WITH BANKS GIVING 20%-30% DOWN CUSTOMERS A HEADACHE IN A HALF. WHICH IN TURN GIVES REAL ESTATE BROKERS A HEADACHE TOO.
BUT BARRING A COLLAPSE, DEPRESSION, OR EVEN A NEW CONFLICT IN THE MIDDLE EAST, PRICES ARE BEGINNING TO STABILIZE, AND HOMES ARE SELLING AGAIN. IF THE BANKS BECOME A LITTLE LESS CRITICAL WHEN IT GOES TO UNDERWRITING, AND MORE PEOPLE USE THEIR LOCAL BANKS THAT HAVE BEEN IN THE COMMUNITY FOR DECADES, THEN MORE LOANS WOULD BE APPROVED.
WITH THE MILLION OF IMMIGRANTS COMING INTO THE COUNTRY EACH YEAR, HOME PRICES NOT ONLY WILL STABILIZE BUT GO UP WITHIN A YEAR, MOST PROBABLY BY 2-3% DEPENDING ON DEMAND.
YOUR ARTICLE IS MISLEADING AND ALARMING TO THOSE WHO DO NOT KNOW ANY BETTER. THE RATES PEOPLE GET ON THEIR MONEY TODAY, YOUR BETTER OFF BUYING PROPERTY, COLLECT INCOME, AND HAVE A WRITE OFF EVEN AT TODAYS PRICES WITH LOW 5% MORTGAGES.
YOU CERTAINLY CAN'T COUNT ON THE STOCK MARKET FOR INVESTMENT ANY LONGER, ESPECIALLY WITH ALL THE CROOKS IN POSITION STILL.
THAT INCLUDES THE FRIENDLY RESEARCH FIRMS, THEIR ANALYSTS, THEIR BUY RECOMMENDATIONS, AND THEIR HIGH TARGET PRICES.
STICK WITH REAL ESTATE AND POCKET SOME MONEY, WHILE ENJOYING THE WRITE OFFS.

Biotech Sector Pullback: Good Time to Buy at a Discount

Wed.10/28/09 vfc now while the stock market is anemic,
with compounding bad news from many sectors, I totally disagree to bargain hunt now at all. The market still may take a hit, but even so the recovery if an is years away.
Look at 'MRNA' Today closed at $1.02, and two weeks ago I asked you to discuss the stock, when it was $1.46.
I thought it would be headed under $1 dollar again, and now with barchart giving short,medium,long trend indicators of 100% sell with overall average of 100% sell,
it's TIMBER for this one.
Your new photo soon won't be sitting in a hammock long,
rather most probale postion will on the ground, because the Market is more than set for Clean out of sorts.
This is not a time to bargain hunt, but a time to hold onto your money with both fists.

Today's Closing Update: Slim Gains Boost Dow

update:'MRNA' GAINED ON OCT.12, RE:IN VIVO NEWS, BUT NOW HAS RETREATED TO $1.33 AT THE OPENING ON OCT.19TH..
IT IS IN MY OPINION, AFTER FOLLOWING NASTECH FOR 25 YEARS, AND NOW 'MRNA', THAT MRNA IS MORE LIKELY TO
GO DOWN IN STOCK PRICE ABOUT 25% BEFORE YEAR END.
I HAVE BEEN THE ACCURATE POSTER ON SEEKINGALPHA RE:MRNA/NSTK FOR THE LAST 5 YEARS AND ALSO ON OTHER WELL KNOWN INVESTMENT SITES. NUMBERS HAVE TO MAKE SENSE, STATS, EXPENSES, AND EARNINGS REVENUE ARE A VERY BIG PART OF THE OVERALL PICTURE. AND THIS IS WHY I SEE A BEARISH TREND BEFORE YEAR END AND EVEN CARRIED THROUGH UNTIL SPRING OF NEXT YEAR TOO.
HEADED BACK UNDER $1 DOLLAR AGAIN, IN MY OPINION!

THANK YOU JUSTIN, FOR MY OPINION RIGHT NOW IS THAT THE STOCK PRICE WILL DEPRECIATE BY AT LEAST 25%
BETWEEN NOW, OCTOBER 19TH AND DECEMBER 31ST, 2009. IT IS VERY LOGICAL AND REALISTIC.

On Small Cap Drug Makers and Volatility

Justin Hall, your article is interesting & good reading.
If you ever have a brief few minutes, can you give your
prospective on MDRNA INC(MRNA). IT IS A SMALL CAP, NO SERIOUS REVENUE, PLENTY OF EXPENSES, BUT PLENTY OF IN VIVO NEWS. WITH $4 DOLLAR TARGET PRICES BY RESEARCH FIRMS, AND SINCE 'MRNA' IS AT $1.33 RIGHT NOW ON 10/17/09, DOESN'T IT POSE A BUYING OPPORTUNITY OR SHOULD INVESTORS WAIT UNTIL YEAR END WHEN IT MAY BE AROUND. $92 CENTS?
WHAT DO YOU THINK JUSTIN?
LETS HAVE IT STRAIGHT!

FDA Calendar Extreme Trades: 85 Single Digit Stocks

Nice article Mike, How about explaining to 'MRNA' shareholders how they are lost in a heavy fog for years now. Bopping up and down like a bottle in the ocean waves. expecting too much to soon, and letting hype steer them in the wrong direction all the time.
Since your job is to reach shareholders/investors, won't you give your expert opinion, your perspective on 'MRNA', so that at least an attempt was made frpm one of the most informative sites around.
Some shareholders can't be helped, they are addicted, but many others can hear and absorb first hand the REALITY of this investment in 'MRNA'.
THANK YOU!
GREAT EXPECTATIONS BUT NONE AFTER 26 YEARS

Stock Watch: BDSI, ACTC.PK, ONTY

As usual a very good report, your article is appreciated.
VFC, I OFFER YOU A CHALLENGE, SINCE YOU ARE FORTUNATE TO HAVE A JOB, AND AND YOU LOOK PRETTY HEALTHY IN YOUR PHOTO. YOUR BACKGROUND & KNOWLEDGE, AS A WRITER FOR SEEKINGALPHA IS JUST
PERFECT FOR YOU TO ACCEPT, AND LET ALL INVESTORS KNOW YOUR PERSPECTIVE ON 'MDRNA INC' (MRNA).
THERE ISN'T ONE REPUTABLE, KNOWLEDGEABLE WRITER,
ON THE ENTIRE INTERNET WILLING TO WRITE A BRIEF
ARTICLE ON 'MRNA'. INVESTORS NEED TO HEAR A NEUTRAL OPINION, INSTEAD OF THE RESEARCH FIRMS WHO FOLLOW IT, GIVE CHRONIC 'BUY' SIGNALS, AND RIDICULOUS HIGH TARGET PRICES.
AS A FORMER VIET NAM VETERAN, I AM ASKING YOU VFC
TO TELL IT LIKE IT REALLY IS ON "MRNA".
THANK YOU!

Dow Target 6,617, October 25, 2009: Here Is Why

THE BIGGEST ROBBERY IN THE WORLD HAS OCURED SINCE 2008, FOLLOWED BY MORE BAILOUTS TO THE SAME CROOKS, WHO DID DAMAGE IN THE FIRST PLACE. HOMEOWNERS WHO LOST THEIR JOBS&HOMES ARE GROWING IN LEAPS IN BOUNDS.
I BELIEVE MANY AMERICANS HAVE BEEN FLEECED BIG TIME. BANKS ARE NOT SO EASILY LENDING TO BUYERS ACROSS AMERICA, AND UNTIL THEY GO AFTER THE CROOKS, RESEARCH FIRMS AND ORGANIZATIONS THAT CHANNEL THE MONEY GIVEN TO THEM TO THEIR POCKETS, WE WILL CONTINUE TO BE SNOW JOBED. CONGRESS, CZARS, AND THE LEFT WING SOCIALIST PRESIDENT(OBAMA) WILL CAUSE A MAJOR DEPRESSION FOR SURE.
IT IS NOT A ROSEY ECONOMY WITH GREEN SHOOTS AND EVERYONE LIVES HAPPILY EVER AFTER, RATHER A COLLAPSE IS EVIDENT SOON!

Questcor Pharmaceuticals: Risky, But Cheap

QCOR IS A FAVORITE OF MINE.
HOWEVER, THE THREE FORCES COMING FROM THREE DIRECTIONS, ARE GROWING LARGER & LARGER NOW.
MAYBE IT IS CHEAP, BUT DOES CHEAPER SOUND BETTER MR.STEVE ALEXANDER?
THIS IS WHAT INVESTORS ARE UP AGAINST IN THE COMING DAYS AHEAD.
1)A POTENTIAL MARKET CORRECTION...........
2)A TERRORIST PLOT ACTUALLY HAPPENING AND BE CARRIED OUT......................
3)AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, ISRAEL ATTACKING IRAN
ANY DAY NOW......................
CHEAP SOUNDS GOOD BUT CHEAPER IS BETTER.
IF ANY OF THE THREE HIT OR TWO OF THE THREE,
OR ALL THREE HIT DURING A TIME RANGE OF SEVERAL WEEKS, INVESTORS WOULD BE CRUSHED FINANCIALLY.
I SAY MR. ALEXANDER, ALTHOUGH I LIKE QCOR,
WHAT LIES AHEAD, ISN'T WHAT INVESTORS WANT TO HEAR ABOUT RIGHT NOW.
BUT BETTER TO BE AHEAD OF THE CURVE, AND LOOK AT THE BIGGER PICTURE THAT IS EVIDENT.

Financing Activity for Biotech Deals Heats Up

Once again, 'MRNA' is left out of the article in seeking alpha.
Is this stock the Rodney Dangerfield of RNAI platform companies?
Ceo, French, approval of a drug, three new issuances of stock, repayment of debt, two partnerships, and big potential with $4 dollar price target by experts from Research firms.
How about a real down to earth prospective on 'MRNA'?
09/27/09 WARRANTED OR NOT?

Taking Advantage of the BioDelivery Dip

Like BDSI on dip like you say, but with two looming forces approaching, this time I would wait, for sure.
One, is a Market correction, as sure as you are laying back in your photo.
Two, one of the terrorist attacks may get through in the coming weeks.
Either scenario, should be a big warning for investors to be prepared, and ahead of the curve.
09/27/09 If I am right, 10% further discount is on the way!

Biotech News Bytes: Neuralstem, Questcor, Valeant, Impax

Mike, I know that you are busy and have many articles to cover,
however, for some reason you and many other Biotech writers
are ignoring 'MRNA', for whatever reasons. I have been requesting for almost 6 months now, anyones perspective on this stock.
As an avid reader of your column, I will once again try to get you to tell it like it is regarding 'MRNA'. Good or Bad, investors,shareholders want to know. Won't you take the time, and evaluate this company
please. I can not recall in the last two years any coverage at all on 'MRNA' on seekingalpha. Will you stand up, with your background, reputation, and make a difference, compared to the Research firms
that follow 'MRNA' and always give high target prices and their chronic 'buy' recommendations.
THANK YOU!

Biotech Busy with Bevy of Small Deals

Very good article and informative.
You may be the one and only expert in this field,
to give your personal insight on a particular stock.
'MRNA'
Nobody ever covers this stock, and yet they come out with dozens and dozens of news announcements, and analysts always issue a buy and high target prices.
