EARTH TO WALL STREET

SPOOKED OUT OF THE MARKETS FOR NOW

contact@earthtowallstreet.com (EarthtoWallStreet.com) — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 01:20:00 +0000

Tonight I got spooked, very spooked.

I have been told by some people I know who are in the know that the business owners they represent

in the investment world that there is an increasing negative overtone among those business owners.

Today's consumer confidence report came out negative supporting this theme.

Chance of Double-Dip US Recession is High: Shiller

Published: Tuesday, 27 Jul 2010 | 10:48 AM ET

"For me a double-dip is another recession before we've healed from this recession ... The probability of that kind of double-dip is more than 50 percent," Shiller said. "I actually expect it."

http://kansascity.bizjournals.com/kansascity/stories/2010/07/26/daily14.html

Yes rail traffic is up, yes trucking is up a bit, yes shipping rates are up, yes all this sounds

good but there are some major things missing from the puzzle.

http://kansascity.bizjournals.com/kansascity/stories/2010/07/26/daily15.html?surround=lfn

Jobs. Jobs in mass are not feeding our nations need. Our middle class is being killed off like an endangered speices.

Do you see mass job creation? I don't. The market will fall back hard soon I feel because this recovery can not move

us forward with such tight credit and loss of job creation.

LETS TALK HOUSING

Home Vacancies Rise as U.S. Ownership Falls to Lowest in Decade

About 18.9 million homes in the U.S. stood empty during the second quarter as surging foreclosures helped push ownership to the lowest level in a decade.

"There are a lot of people losing their homes and either moving in with family or renting places to live," said Patrick Newport, an economist with IHS Global Insight in Lexington, Massachusetts. "Foreclosures are still going up."

The U.S. median home price tumbled 29 percent to an eight- year low of $164,600 in February, according to the Realtors. The median had reached a record high of $230,300 in July 2006.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-07-27/home-prices-in-20-u-s-cities-rise-more-than-estimated-case-shiller-says.html

There exists a mixed bag of info but the one thing that is not mixed is JOBS.

We need millions upon millions of new jobs. Do you see any signs of this creation anytime soon?

I don't.

I see this going on instead, brought to you by the Obama administration.

Shallow-Drilling 'Ban' Costs Hercules $150,000 a Day: CEO

http://www.cnbc.com/id/38412478?__source=yahoo%7Cheadline%7Cquote%7Ctext%7C&par=yahoo

"We currently have 48 marketed rigs in the Gulf of Mexico and there's 14 idle," Rynd said. "By this September, you can have 70 percent of the Gulf of Mexico shallow-water jack-up fleet idle due to no permits."

If that happens, Hercules will make the "tough decision" on layoffs. One reason Hercules wants to avoid layoffs is there's no guarantee former employees would be available to come back if permits are issued again.

"Then when the operations do start back, you're starting back with less experienced crews, more intense training, and it can really impact your efficiency and the safety," Rynd said.

President Obama will be blamed for dragging his feet and causing higher unemployment.

With a great earnings season upon us it's interesting to see the contrast from Wall Street to Main Street. It's easy to understand how earnings are higher with all the fat that has been cut over the past years. What is confounding though and a mystery is how we expect our markets to go higher with people needing massive job creation in this country.

If Obama and his tree hugging army don't watch it with the drilling restrictions now we could see oil spike much higher sending an earnings killing arrow straight into the heart of our economic engine. Increased energy costs are the last thing we all need.

Spooked for now. I shall seek out shorting this market again very soon.

VZ IS GOING TO CLIMB NOW ON FREE CASH FLOW, Verizon Communications Inc. Com(NYSE: VZ)

contact@earthtowallstreet.com (EarthtoWallStreet.com) — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 00:52:00 +0000

It's all about free cash flow. VZ has a lot of it these days, read on.

http://www.marketwatch.com/story/verizon-reports-strong-wireless-fios-customer-growth-increased-enterprise-revenues-strong-cash-flow-in-2q-2010-07-23?reflink=MW_news_stmp

$9.8 billion in cash flow from operations during 2Q 2010, up 29.8 percent from 2Q 2009; $5.5 billion in free cash flow (non-GAAP), up 76.7 percent.

'Solid Improvement in Operational Results'

"Verizon showed solid improvement in operational results in the quarter," said Chairman and CEO Ivan Seidenberg. "In addition, the wireline spinoff to Frontier on July 1 improves our future growth profile. We see the opportunity to create additional shareholder value with a revenue portfolio that is now more heavily focused on wireless, FiOS and global IP."

Seidenberg added, "We have the network platforms in place, and the product and service innovations in the pipeline, to fuel the next generation of growth in our changing industry. Our cost-reduction efforts are gaining momentum, and trends in the global business market are showing signs of stabilization."

At the end of the second quarter, the company had 86.2 million retail customers, which represented nearly 94 percent of the company's wireless customers, the largest number of retail customers of any U.S. wireless provider.

Wireless

Verizon Wireless continued to lead the industry in cost efficiency. Monthly cash expense per customer (non-GAAP) decreased in the second quarter 2010 to $26.48, from $27.42 in the comparable period in 2009.

In the second quarter, data revenues increased to 34.5 percent of all service revenues, up from 29.3 percent in the second quarter 2009.

The Divvy Play

Within the Dow Jones index, only Verizon (VZ) and AT&T (T) offer dividend yields above 6%. Among the S&P 500 dividend aristocrats, only Pitney-Bowes (Pitney Bowes Inc.">PBI) and CenturyLink offer yields in that range.

http://seekingalpha.com/article/216312-a-cheap-internet-stock-with-high-dividend-yield

Read on it gets better.

http://caps.fool.com/Blogs/is-the-verizon-iphone-a-vod/414248

ITS ABOUT TO GET MUCH BETTER AT VZ.

Verizon Wireless may sell as many as 12 million iPhones next year after the largest U.S. mobile-phone carrier begins offering the device, widening its lead over AT&T Inc., analysts say.

Verizon Wireless will start selling Apple Inc.'s iPhone to customers in January, two people familiar with the plans said yesterday. AT&T has had exclusive claim on the device in the U.S. since it was introduced in 2007.

Verizon Wireless will likely sell about 12 million iPhones in the first year, UBS AG analyst John Hodulik said in an interview. Three to four million of those may be to customers the company draws from other wireless carriers, he said.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-06-30/verizon-may-sell-12-million-iphones-the-year-after-at-t-exclusivity-ends.html

My stock pick for the next 24 months is Verizon, VZ.

They will steal many current subscribers away from AT&T as their plans will be cheaper IMHO. They already stole me away from AT&T. I have been with AT&T since 1991. They lost me last week because I bought an IPHONE and my first bill was going to be $213 bucks which I recieved already. I took back my IPHONE within 3 days and got all of my money back. I went to Walmart and bought a Straight Talk Plan For $45 bucks per month. It gives me everything unlimited with no contract and a flat rate of $45 per month. It uses the Verizon network. I had 12 dropped calls with my IPHONE in oone day. I have zero dropped calls now in the last week with my new Verizon Straight Talk phone.

STRAIGHT TALK GOES IPHONE?????????

http://www.straighttalk.com/

I dont know if this will happen but they could literally rob most customers away from AT&T if they offered plans this cheap with the IPHONE.

I know this, AT&T sticks it to their customers big time and they lost me in the process.

I say VZ is a red hot stock pick NOW.

Take a look at it, do your own research. I say it's a winner.

FEAR IS A GOOD THING

contact@earthtowallstreet.com (EarthtoWallStreet.com) — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 02:17:00 +0000

The SPX 1040 level is key, very key as we all know.

So will they throw money at it or will that level give way like it was nothing?
I am so glad I have had most of my money in cash since 2007. I am terrible at short term trading, way to emotional as you know. I have to protect me from me and I made a new years resolution for 2010 NOT to move big money into my day trading account. I do not know if you remember way back to Oct 31, 2009 or so I lost $7,000 in one day going long. That was my last day trading escapade. Since then I have traded small amounts to no success really, spinning my wheels.

ON THE OTHER HAND,
I advocate dollar cost averaging and saving cash...I can do that and not screw it up and over the years...man it has worked for me. I went all in from 2003 to 2007 long. Since then I have been way to scared. Its that easy for me. This day trading crap for me the last five years...a joke... Like RIG....you remember me calling it on the day it bottomed. Oh great call but to scared to buy it until it went up even more. I suck. I make calls then I don't buy my own calls, only to watch them take off.

I am at home and comfortable with fearing this market and saving cash. Funny, that is what most Americans are doing, saving, those who can anyway. Companies are saving as well.
There is too much fear to spend big money on things for the most part.
I fear that the fear is here to stay for a long while, not because of this week's action or this years or the last three years of market action. I fear
that our way of life as we knew it and the easy money of hefty profits and markets like the 90s may not be back for a long time. Yeah March 2009 to April 2010 was a great trip down memory lane, but it was short lived I fear. An emotional outburst of hope followed by the long sting of the coming reality of a country, of a world awash in debt.

We shall see. A long and protracted slow down, one of great pain that will last years is coming. I said that in 2007. Things have not changed, the long slow ride is here.

I have feared these markets since I got out in 2007. I have dabbled a bit with trading since then, nothing like the old days and I have not subjected my cash base to it.

I know this for a fact. I would have been better off if I had never traded a single stock since 2007. That is a fact. My savings plan and discipline with dollar cost averaging

is far better than any trading scheme I have come across.

Fear these markets and respect them for they have made many of my friends lose a lot of money in the last few years and these markets can slay a wanna be trader.

I know, for I was slayed in 2005 trying to be a day trader.

Full of hope, full of despair we ride the magic carpet of emotions up and down the waves from day to day as the ocean of the markets kick our boat here and there all the while the big picture we are floating within is being formed. Guesses, speculation, calculations, charts and formations, all but small paddles in a vast expanse of unknowing.

I think the simplest thing to do is nothing, the most profitable thing to do is watch and save while others drown in the speculation pool. When we see spending by companies taking place, when we see jobs being formed, when we see our profit margins increase where we work and our revenues streams grow, when we see all the old things of a healthy capitalistic society floating by, then we shall declare that a real recovery is here to stay for longer than an a few months or the all clear signal is thrown out to soon. Then we shall unfurl our sails of greed and we shall be buyers again in our stocks. I shall by the fear when there is more fear than we can imagine, when all seems lost like March 2009 was.
Flares popping all the time lighting the market landscape declaring the worst is past, those are too easy to spot as just one more hollow promise. When we see real cash being spent on all levels, when we see the things we know to be right in a healthy economy then we can all trust a real recovery is here.

Till then....I am sticking to my life vest of fear, my cash safely away from the game of chance and I shall watch the sharks devour those who try to slay the markets.

RIG AND AONE, SOLD FAZ

contact@earthtowallstreet.com (EarthtoWallStreet.com) — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 00:44:00 +0000

Transocean Ltd (Switzerland) Co(NYSE: RIG)

I bought this stock in A.H. on Friday and dumped my FAZ on Thursday

for a profit. I think oil is going higher and I think RIG is a

good play on deep water oil drilling. The P/E

is low and the back log is huge, about $30 Billion.

Moodys negative outlook on RIG.

http://www.marketwatch.com/story/moodys-cuts-transocean-outlook-on-gulf-oil-spill-2010-06-10

The experts forget one major theme. The world needs oil, regardless of this spill.

World economies can not afford for oil to surge in price right now.

They are fragile enough with current debt burdens. If oil surges

the markets will tank under pressure of higher costs of product.

It will effect everything and it will only slow down spending further.

A123 Systems, Inc.(NasdaqGM: AONE)

I bought this one in A.H. Friday.

I have been watching it sine it went IPO.

I watched this reversal and it looks strong enough

for a buy in my opinion.

http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=AONE

Its a play on Lithium Battery technology.

If oil goes higher which I feel it will

as the dollar falls AONE will go higher.

Sulphco, Inc. Common Stock(AMEX: SUF)

http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=SUF

This one just reversed big time today. I have watched this one fall for a long time, it just

stepped out of trend and has made a huge statement on much heavier volume.

The volume could double tomorrow on this one. It could double in days.

I have seen this thing move in the past that fast.

It is highly dangerous to play this one but if you are looking for a momo play SUF

SPX 980 COMING

contact@earthtowallstreet.com (EarthtoWallStreet.com) — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 01:47:00 +0000

I see SPX 980 level coming soon.

Look out for a shop drop to that level.

It may come as early as next week or the first week of July.

GOING MORE SHORT TODAY

contact@earthtowallstreet.com (EarthtoWallStreet.com) — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 22:58:00 +0000

I saw the key reversal yesterday on the charts and added more FAZ last night.

Today I see it confirming so I added more FAZ this afternoon.

We shall see what happens.

I am only in FAZ now.

I see the SPX hitting 980 soon as well.

I see the jobs front effecting our markets more each month.

It will take jobs to improve this economy further and until we see job creation

on a large scale our market will be too emotional, too volatile, and unstable.

Jobs, its still all about jobs. I don't see job creation of 100,000 to 300,000 per month which we need.

It's all about the banks unloading the enormous amount of foreclosures on their books

and how that effects the housing markets and the entire economy.

Stops....I usually never use them with FAZ and FAS but this morning at 5:39 my time I set down with my morning coffee I saw the futures going from 3 plus to down -23 in minutes.

I went to to my account and set a market stop, not a limit but market stop in case panic set in.

I usually never do this but this morning there were things like the futures dipping fast and at that hour. Then I was thinking what if I am wrong. I have been on a roll but in the past my stupid ego would get in the way and I would not use discipline to protect my money.

So I set a stop and hoped that today would not be as bad as I thought it would be after seeing those futures drop so fast.
I never thought about FAZ this morning. I felt we would bounce but if I was wrong I wanted protection.

My plan is to watch Monday to see if support holds the low of today. If today's low is pierced and we gap lower

the markets are going lower quickly and my upside targets will be in danger of not coming at all. I could be wrong

but until proven wrong I still feel the market goes back up quickly.

I hope others here today who were long set tight stops as well.

I hope this helps those who do not use stops. I know it helped me today. You can see mine triggered early this morning saving me money.

No one is perfect and ego can really hurt if you don't use stops.

I want to wish everyone a great weekend and I want to thank everyone for their kindness lately.

I appreciate it.

Direxion Daily Financial Bull 3(NYSEArca: FAS)

Today FAS dipped to $23.48.

I left the house forgetting to set my buy at

$23.57. So I bought FAS at $24.17.

I made a mistake and I do not see it

going that low tomorrow.

I think tomorrow will be a bullish day for

FAS and the markets.

http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=fas

I think news pushes us higher.

THE FAS TRADE

contact@earthtowallstreet.com (EarthtoWallStreet.com) — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 22:31:00 +0000

I set a limit sell as soon as I bought FAS in A.H. last night for $23.68 from a buy price of $22.68.

I made 4.42% in one day on this trade.

I am currently looking at at buying FAS lower on the pull back tomorrow around $23.57 to $23.68.

I do not know if it will dip that low though.

I am still studying the chart and news.

REVISIT THE TARGETS, DOW 11,722 TO 12,300 THEN IT CRASHES AGAIN

contact@earthtowallstreet.com (EarthtoWallStreet.com) — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 00:55:00 +0000

I am revisiting some old targets I have had for a long time.

The DOW will see 11,722 to 12,300

the SPX will see the 1300 level

and the Nasdaq will see the 2500 level.

WHEN? By August 2010.

I feel a mad rush to a crash is coming.

Call it a frenzy of buying before the huge collapse.

This latest sell off is nothing compared to the huge

collapse into irrational exuberance that is on the way.

Why so soon and why so violent?

Because this is a bull market within a long term bear

market. This next wave of buying will be met with an

even harder sell off than this one that began in late April.

Fools are lined up ready to buy a new top near

my target areas as this thing

flies off on a tear, a 20% surge into disaster.

It will be followed by a steep and violent sell off.

I predict a sell off from the DOW targets of 11,722

to 12,300 and maybe as high as 12,530 then we fall

8000 points on the DOW all the way down to the

4500 level in a six month span.

Higher taxes

A virtual stop in private investment in our economy.

Government will have to cut back on spending as well.

There will be many more state and city governments

that will SHUT DOWN programs as they take drastic

measures to curb spending and they will also be raising

taxes to PAY OFF DEBT BURDENS and to make up

budget short falls.

Then you will see unemployment shoot higher to the 15% level and

20% in some states with real unemployment hitting 30% or higher.

You will see foreclosures once again shoot higher and property

values plummet. You will see even more people living for free

in their homes as their value falls sharply and they refuse to pay the banks

for the loss. You will see our government step in and force banks to lower

loan pay offs on home loans and the banks will write off billions as this happens.

There will not be enough places to house the masses if all the coming

people hit by hard times leave their homes.

Our nations debt rating will be lowered this year.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/03/15/business/main6300171.shtml

We are just spending too much and will continue to.

You will see tourism suffer as Gulf States lose multi billions of dollars in revenue and tax income.

And these states will ask Washington for more money and they will not respond because

there is too much debt and our debt rating will be cut before states begin to ask for financial

help.

Jobs......there are none to be had for the almost 2 million kids getting out of college this summer.

Our companies like HP Hewlett Packard are cutting jobs..why?????

Because we make too much money here and we will see our wages drop to be more

on par with China and our other competitors, not this year but in the decades to come

we will make less and less to compete. Out sourcing jobs to cheaper labor, this will continue

until our wages drop drastically.

We are witnessing a huge earthquake in the way the world turns. We must compete with lower wages

or we will starve just like any other nation on Earth. We simply make too much and we simply have too much

debt. We are headed lower and there is nothing our government can do to stop it.

The rest of the world has caught us and they are dragging us down to their standard of living.

Nothing short of a world war will change this climate of over supply and lower demand and too many people

needing jobs world wide and too few to be had.

There is only one outcome. As drastic as it sounds a major world conflict is coming to thin

the herd and to create demand. Only with increased demand and fewer people and factories

will there be real growth. Many factories will be destroyed, many people will die

and many more will starve and many will call it the end of the world.

It will be history repeating itself. It's been going on for thousands of years, wars

kill and they create demand after the good times. We are in for years of bad times

now, get use to it. Learn to live with less because it's already here and it will

get much worse soon.

I agree with this mans take, check out Harry Dents video.

This market has not topped yet.

If you go back and read my blog you will find my targets have been in place since late 2009.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEsAjYXlLuI

So enjoy the rally to come.

From the targets I have set it comes undone and we fall faster and further than most can imagine.

These markets will melt after the coming surge.

Its all about too much debt people. If you ignore it you will lose.

I also just bought FAS at $21.42 looking now for a bounce in the markets.

This morning I bought FAZ in pre market at $15.45. I am still in FAZ. I also bought YRCW at .333 as well.

Today I saw a market that is weak with no buying power.

CAUTION IS IN FASHION HERE

With all the nonsense in the markets over the last month I think using caution here is wise. I am currently in a bond fund with all of my funds through my work ROTH account. I am setting idle in cash with my ROTH trading account. I am waiting for Monday markets to open to see where direction is headed.

Caution is in vogue here in my play book. I think Bond's are still in play as I see interest rates staying put for now, the economy is still to soft for raising them now.

We are not going to return to the hey days of growth for a long time. There is simply to much debt and not enough demand, credit is way to tight and rules are much much tighter than the old days.
