ME WORRY? Gad Phil, you HAVE TO GET OUT MORE...
Natural Gas - Has The Extreme Happened? [View article]
CK, I feel your pain. The overnight futures markets seem to account for 90% of market moves in any given week. It's tough to protect against. Think about nat gas substitutes that pay divs whilst you wait- ex coal producers. Home remodeling, car rebuilding, skiing?
During today's earnings call, GE execs stressed they would like to return more capital to shareholders via dividends and buybacks ... but added the Fed might stand in the way. GE's plans are contingent on the resumption of a dividend payment from GE Capital to the parent company, and in spite of the division's soaring profits, that's a move the Fed hasn't yet signed off on. (Q4 results) [View news story]
Ya know, GE wants fed $$$$$, they gotta play by da rules. Next time, hows about real capitalism and let GE et al sink or swim on their own...
The President's statement denying the application for the building of TransCanada's (TRP) Keystone XL Pipeline: The rejection is "not a judgement on the merits of the pipeline, but the arbitrary nature of (the Congressional) deadline." (earlier) [View news story]
Bullish for the volt and prius. Bearish for us. This putz wants to price us out of our cars and onto bicycles like the chinese even as they go towards cars and away from bikes. Oh well, we can always get solar from Solyndra... Oh, that's right, Solyndra and it's democrat fundraiser/owner went belly up and took 500 million of our $ with it...

I wonder why you don't mention any lib demoncrat transgressions? Is it an intellect or bias issue on your part? Or is it impossible for a lib to do something unseemly?
A group of hackers in China reportedly breached the computer defenses of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and gained access to everything stored on its systems, including information about its 3M members. The hackers may have accessed the network for more than a year before the breach was uncovered. [View news story]
I agree- We get hacked, they steal data and advance their own situation. No benefit to us, all advantage to them.
Jamie Dimon joins billionaires to defend themselves and the 1% against "acting like everyone who’s been successful is bad and because you’re rich you’re bad." Josh Brown's retort: "No, we don't hate the rich. What we hate are the predators... America hates unjustified privilege, it hates an unfair playing field and crony capitalism... it hates rule changes that benefit the few at the expense of the many." [View news story]
Egads, just stop pissing away your $$ on iPads and Starbucks and then maybe you won't be poor anymore. I do not feel it is my responsibility to pay for dumbasses that didn't work at school or life and now want to cry and moan and steal from others. I paid my way through school and continue to pay my way through life and feel NO obligation to support a bunch of lazy asses that revel in slovenliness and worship at the alter of Obama... This is FAR different from me choosing to give to those I deem worthy- THAT is REAL charity. Everything else is theft. Oh, by the way, maybe your boy obumma could have combined flights to Hawaii and donated the $$$$ to charity. Oh, that's right, he's spending OUR money for that little jaunt, not his own... Gee, imagine that...

Whackjob. Why don't you worry about helping yourself/others through your own efforts and stop hating/going after those you are so obviously jealous of???

Uh, maybe they should sell the Mercedes instead of mooching off of me?
House Republicans link the extension of the payroll tax cut to the swift approval of TransCanada's (TRP) Keystone oil pipeline.

From the "fuzzy math" of the BLS to anecdotal advice from guys who actually have to move product. The Kroger (KR) conference call: "We are seeing increasing stress ... Smaller baskets are the norm across all customer segments ... These changes are a result of customer reaction to the combination of food inflation and a poor economy. (earnings) [View news story]
I would give more credence to Kroger. They have no political axe to grind and they serve middle class America.
