      Tech Leads the Rally: Reason to Give Thanks, Or Dead-Turkey Bounce?
      Why don't you just buy a Mac instead? Windows really sucks...

      Paulson Trying to Rewrite His Own History
      One way to understand Paulson (at least his character), is his original insistence that TARP be effected with zero congressional or judicial oversight.

      This tells you a lot about the arrogance of this man.

      I'm not saying he's unintelligent...I'm saying he's got a seriously flawed character.

      Putting the arrogant 35 year-old Neel Kashkari in charge of disbursing these funds is yet another example of poor judgement.

      The waning days of the Bush admin. are turning out to be quite the swan song.

      Julian Robertson: Some Buying, but Bearish on the Economy
      It astonishes me that Republicans continue to stand on their rooftops shouting about impending Obama "socialism" when it's the Republicans who have ushered in the sweeping "Marxist" reforms we are seeing in the headlines every day. And why? Because their brand of unfettered capitalism literally broke the bank.

      I wish Freud were alive, he'd appropriately diagnose the situation as wholesale "projection" with an unhealthy amount of "cognitive dissonance."

      The Republicans blew up the system...and they are unwilling to take the blame.

      Pretty typical for the Republicans, I'd say. And it's the reason the party is going down in flames in three weeks.

      How Oversold Are We?
      Glad Aubrey McClendon lost his fortune in CHK - he bankrolled the uber-sleazy Swift Boat campaign against Kerry in 2004.

      Instant Karma's gonna get you... ;-)

      Solar Rises As Senate Adds 'Tax Extender' Legislation to Bailout Bill
      pretty ironic that this thing would've been left in the gutter if the u.s. economy wasn't tanking!

      fingers are crossed that the house approves the measure. i bought in big on solar yesterday in anticipation that the senate would vote "yea".

      and they did!

      so...good for my portfolio AND the environment.

      just the way i like it.

      Play the Bounce to Hedge Your Longs
      I've had about 1/4 of my portfolio(s) hedged form time to time in shorts (generally puts). While this has mitigated the downside somewhat, I've still gotten whacked.

      I don't know how people who are all long are doing. Not well, I guess. This market sucks. It's made me a better trader...but I'd rather invest in fundamentals.

      Coal Prices Set to Go Up
      Obama's energy policy specifically states his support for clean coal.

      Look it up.

      Boy, listening to you Republicans whine without checking facts is seriously annoying.

      With regards to the prognosis for coal (or more specifically, coal stocks), I think only technical trading at this point suffices as sound investment advice.

      Check out the chart for JRCC...and set your in/out points accordingly.

      It's not difficult.

      Right now the markets are a mess.

      Fundamentals are out the window.

      Obama vs. McCain: Who's Better for Dividend Investors?
      15% or 20% - what does it matter if the Republic burns?

      The Republicans can vote for McCain. If he wins, they can stay in their gated communities until this country turns into a banana republic - with 1% controlling all of the wealth, and everyone else getting screwed.

      And ronslim, your jab that Obama is a Marxist is pathetic. In any other country Obama's economic policies would be considered almost right-wing.

      You want Marxism? Wait until enough people wake up and realize that the Republican party only PRETENDS to help the middle-class while actually screwing them over so they can transfer America's wealth to their rich buddies' tax-free offshore bank accounts.

      As a member of the "investment class" I'm all for the free-market, but I sure as hell won't vote for McCain and 4 more years of criminal greed.

      Obama/Biden '08.

      AIG: Details of Its Punishing Bailout
      Somebody help me out here. I'm confused by the equity dilution.

      So AIG is giving 80% of its common to the government? If so, how is giving stock to the government "dilution"? Or it's issuing 80% more stock to the government on top of it's common?

      Thanks in advance.

      5 Failures of SEC Chairman Cox
      Republicans have been in control for the last 8 years (and don't give me any bunk about Democrats controlling Congress for the last two with their not-even 1-point margin of "Republican" Joe Lieberman in the Senate).

      Any Republican who won't take the blame for his party driving this country into the ditch isn't worth talking to.

      Stand up. Be a man (or a woman). You guys blew it - badly.

      Now go to your room and let Obama/Biden restore the dignity to this country.

      Hedge Funds May Have Gone Too Far
      If the this latest market insanity hasn't proven that the Republican mantra "free markets above all" isn't a sham, I don't know what will.

      Who's your daddy now, Mr. Republican? It ain't the free market. It's the FED!

      Managing Risk: A Probability Model
      Great article. Relatively new to options spreads. This made a lot of sense to me. Of course, one needs a fair amount of cash to deploy this kind of strategy...still working on that. ;-)
