Cramer Has A Buy Rating On This $7 Stock That Yields 16% [View article]
People fail to pick up on Cramer's way of adding "with a grain of salt", to his pronouncements! (The too quick disclaimer the lawyers text-display during the show.) Also, many of his callers explain the context of a trade/investment, and he responds with a markedly contextual response (off the cuff). If you "hate" what he's doing, I'd advise you to think of him as giving estimates to individuals.
More important is his experienced and apolitical in the trenches viewpoint. Look, the insider stuff you hate, he is shining a light on it while rolling his eyes! Sectors. What the fools who "technically" send signals to each other through wavy lines WILL DO. etc.

On the contrary, "Technical" TA ("Analysis" hah) is pretty much guesswork based on wavy-line pattern. The names of TA and FA seem to really be reversed in meaning. Fundamentalism vs Technocratism. The fact that the market is extremely imperfect and people introduce chaos can't be measured, but this is what produces TA guesswork. Loading up and unloading based on what happened in the past - it's Ben Graham's "Mister Market!"
Fundamental Analysis is actually more technical going by scientific terminology. This can confuse a great many people and will continue to do so. Sadly, so many people try chart-guesswork and THEMSELVES are the chaos "intruding" upon the system.
So, yes, SLV and other metals don't follow the apparent production/needs/stock... model one would expect. Plus people have in the past tried to hoard it (speculation!). (Long SLV - more as a hedge. Not a clue "where it will go next" and that's just fine!)

The <Reuters quote/> shows that this European company does divs annually, and there is a long time in awarding it. Hard to track correctly?

Fitch has it wrong, U.S. banks could actually wind up benefitting from Europe's debt crisis, says Rochdale's Dick Bove, He cites two reasons: First, U.S. banks have a relatively low level of exposure to European banks. Second, the problems facing European banks could actually drive business to seek healthier institutions in the U.S. His top picks: PNC Financial (PNC) and Fifth Third Bancorp (FITB). Both get hit when Europe erupts, but neither are heavily exposed to European banks. [View news story]
International trade in ores, wood,nuts, art, tech, fabric, honey, tobacco, autos, and Florida Oranges (and etc) must all be purely barter. No need for banking and interconnection.

10 Cramer Favorites That I Don't Recommend Buying [View article]
Corrections plus rambling. Read with caution.
Agressive yes and no. By some standards - he will himself just explain that he doesn't like old-fashioned "buy and hold". Why use cruise control if you do know how to work a gearshift?
Mr. Cramer's got to know that his TV show and recomendations 'bump' the day to day of things up: otherwise he wouldn't give *cautions* to 'wait a day or two' and use limits.
But anyway, since he's advising to all AND keeping an eye on the day-to-day values, you can't really compare an analyst's portfolio picks for clients or would be clients to his advice. Counter-intuitively, his off the cuff pronouncements have more time behind them than a typical chart-line follower of the modern sort.
Possibly a particular caller would 1.)Sound "young" and get the go-ahead to make one of his stocks a high-multiple "flier" on a day where 2.) shorts push NFLX. But then maybe later it's time to get out of it and await the next fluctuation! So 3.) A week later that trade is over.
(A.K. regrets not taking advantage of being near Red Hat back at the IPO. Got a dot.com vintage prospectus and doodads from trade shows! It was the age of free mugs and stress-ball toys.)
Advanced Battery Technologies: An Egregious Chinese RTO [View article]
Hi, I am not considering ANYTHING but R&D size and R&D as percent of rev for such companies. It seems that none of the cheerleaders on ABAT can explain how they get nowhere near the same expense as AONE and Tesla - who are doing real battery research.
Faking or stealing. In any case, A.K. is passing on the whole battery field until a clear #1 emerges (risk averse.)
Will leave SEC, China, structure and bicycles=SUV stuff to others. (:-/
Good article - I need to point out that the people with realtor jobs are complicit. It's understandable that they never want to diminish properties values. But use some common sense judgement instead of 1980's pyramid dwelling scheme!! I guess what I'm trying to say is none of them are ever going to jail for aiding the banks and lying loaners - but negligence is when you don't do your job.
It's absolutely idiotic to own SLV for two reasons, says technician Peter Brandt. First, he believes fans of silver get a far deal better trading the futures, rather than the ETF. Second, the daily chart remains in a strong downtrend, and a break much lower puts long-term support of $25.50 in play. Beyond that, the next major support is $20.75. [View news story]
As one of 17,360 Seeking Alphas who are alerted to news of SLV, this is unimportant news! I'll gladly use this idiotic hedge instead of the obviously even more stupid Gold! I suppose incendiary throwing about of "idiot" may apply to all-eggs-in-basket users. Why not try owning 2+ things and making sure the totality balances to zero losses?

Giving you points for this (un-intended?) pun:
"overestimate the potential",
The Molten-salt idea is more of a heat-sink ploy, I believe. This would take advantage of the retaining energy in heat (to let solar-collected power out at night). I'd still fear that economies of scale might make a plant for it hellish and toxic & vaporous with weird new accidents...
Cheery Christmas note, eh?
ACPW is on my watchlist because it's a more understandable technology. I'll invest "when" all other ideas fail. So it stays on the watchlist safely...
