I hope you think X is the symbol for Exxon Mobil. Okay, what is the symbol for US Steel, then?

The Up-Tick Rule Reimplementation Is Bad for Markets

Sun, 29 Mar 2009 12:59:05 -0400

Hahahaha

I had no idea this column was a comic's column. So, the author likes not having the uptick rule. Really? Funnnnnnneeeee. Thanks for giving all some comic relief from the current market conditions.

How can UPS be in the Bullish section and the Bearish section at the same time?

19 'Bathwater Babies' for the Week

Clinton, your picks here are wonderful. Thanks for sharing. In fact two of these are ones I already owned for the same reasons you stated. They are just oversold and "tossed out". I like NAT and QCOR in your list.

With the current unstable market, I AM that pig in shit and I hate to admit it but violent swings are the norm now for me and I'm getting used to it a little bit.

OMG, I can't believe I just admitted to that!

50% Returns, No Risk?

Five Sophisticated Gold and Silver Investment Strategies for 2009

Sun, 28 Dec 2008 10:41:19 -0500

Do you think that the US government would actually seize the gold in the GLD safes? Is THAT why it is recommended to own physical gold, the metal? Buying GLD on my laptop is very easy to do.

The Manipulation of Gold Prices

Fri, 05 Dec 2008 10:33:40 -0500

If the Fed can take over Indy Mac, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac and close the other banks and issue trillions in TARP, etc, they can make it illegal to own Gold in any form, GLD (just shut them down overnight and take their bullion).

Owning physical gold like coins and bars would be futile as no one would want to buy it from you, just as no one would want to buy illegals drugs, like coke, crack, and such. Just declare it a felony to buy or sell Gold in any form.
Overnight.

If FDR did it, couldn't the current President do it as well?

Jim Cramer's Mad Money - Cox Slow on the Uptick (11/21/08)

Sun, 23 Nov 2008 18:27:56 -0500

Bush can fire the SOB now. No need to wait for Barry to -maybe- do it. Fire COX now. And send uncle Ben with him. Yeah, I split an infinitive. So sue me.

WIN with a 12% dividend. Jesus, what's not to like about that? Thanks Cramer.

Ignore the Hype - Gold as Currency is Dead

Wed, 29 Oct 2008 09:24:23 -0400

I'm a country. I need to print money. i think i will go print some GOLD money. Wait a minute. That can't be done. Argghh! Thinking... So, now I think i will declare GOLD to be used for Jewelry only. There, that ought to fix the problem. So, turn on the paper money presses. Ahhhhh. Mission accomplished. "They" will never know the difference.

Bernanke's Fall from Grace

Sat, 25 Oct 2008 10:32:37 -0400

Amen, why do you think they called it "Greenspeak"? Because he was a tricky little bastard tinkering with our savings and the market so that no one could "pin him down" on anything. He was proud of that, too. He and OJ should write a book together, "If we did something".

Bernanke's Fall from Grace

Sat, 25 Oct 2008 10:25:41 -0400

Greenspan acted just as a College football coach does when he wakes up one morning and realizes that he has no good recruits for the next year, he jumps to another college, the loser. Bernanke has no clue, and should probably go back to waiting on tables at South of the Border where he started his college career. He probably didn't listen to restaurant customers there either.

Speaking as a lever pulling Republican for the last 40 years i can tell you that if the little boy Republicans in the House continue to make this bail out difficult and cause a market crash, I will be a lever pulling Democrat (ugh!) in November. There, I said it.

POCKYCLIPS said it: If companies get to big to fail, then there should be limits on how big a company should get.

When they get to the size of Freddie and Fannie they are too big to help.

SEC to Address Naked Shorts

Tue, 16 Sep 2008 09:14:07 -0400

Clavis, I have to agree with you. Who in the hell dreamed up the scheme that we could sell each other's stocks by borrowing them for a few days or weeks? Hey, I wanna sell your house... with you living in it. Don't worry, I'll buy it back when the neighborhood is gone. Isn't that the same thing?

Hey, eddie64, don't forget the "uptick rule" is gone as well for most other stocks other than financials. That move by the SEC was very disappointing and not welcomed by me but it was great for the hedge funds.

Rally Strategy - Cramer's Mad Money (8/5/08)

Tue, 05 Aug 2008 22:01:45 -0400

Cramer: He said stocks that don't perform well during a market rally often have underlying issues. “Stocks that don't go up aren't ones you want,” he said.

So yesterday he had CHK CEO McClendon on and Cramer was rallying Natural gas, then what are we suppoed to think after CHK lost money today on a strong DOW rally of over 300 points? Sell?

Hmmmm????

Five Great Quality Companies: Are They Too Expensive?

Tue, 29 Jul 2008 09:21:34 -0400

I got in AAPL in the $40 range and rode that "sucker" all the way to $60 before some analyst scared me out. Jeesh. I think it's going to be like MA and have an easy ride to $300 and leave dolts like me saying "it could have been..."

U.S. Credit Card Industry Moving into Uncharted Territory

A Reason To Be Cautious on Visa, Mastercard

Wed, 21 May 2008 11:05:26 -0400

This drivel is merely trying to drive the stock price down for Visa for someone so they can add it to their hedge fund or Mutual fund. Just get in at $80 and wait for the Olympics.

Big Ben's Credit Card Moves: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Wed, 07 May 2008 10:00:57 -0400

Banks issue Visa cards, not Visa. My Visa card is "backed" by my credit Union. And as far as Uncle Ben tightening laws about fees. That's great news, it will mean MORE people will NOT be scared to use Credit Cards more freely. Swipe Swipe Swipe - hear that? It's the sound of Visa making more money every time you each lunch or buy gasoline.
