Is President Elect Obama The Right Man For This Financial Crisis?

2008-11-23T12:09:00.000-08:00

So far President Elect Obama has proven to those who made the bet on him that he IS the right man for the job. His stances and early policy and personnel moves already are showing he will be more centrist that many had believed. What has already become apparent is that far left liberals and Democrats will be the ones most annoyed and disappointed in how Obama leads. The financial and economic

President Obama Related Hate Crimes

This article is totally unrelated to the stock market but it is impossible to ignore this “story” the media is trying to create. NEWS is a business these days. Whether the news is true or not it is the eyeballs a story generates that matters. Anyone with half a brain knew that once Obama won the election a big deal would be made of racial tensions. Much to the chagrin of the mainstream media

Executive Pay Outrage? How about Auto Worker Pay Outrage!

2008-11-15T13:15:00.000-08:00

Unions really annoy me. Sure they benefit the ones who are members but the rest of us, taxpayers and traders and investors pay the price. The latest example of course is the US Auto Business. Aside from airlines this has been the second biggest black hole for investor money over the last couple of decades. GM, Ford and Chrysler are a heart beat away from insolvency, driven in large part by a poor

How to Trade in this Current Stock market and MAKE MONEY!

2008-11-11T15:00:00.000-08:00

This is perhaps one of the most difficult stock markets to make a living off, at least in the last seven years. It seems every trick in the trader’s money making handbook has stopped working. Buying new 52 week highs, well there are none! Moving average breakouts, sure go ahead and five minutes after you enter the play you will be stopped out! How about buying stocks with tight stops? Again, go

Gift card holders Next to Fed Window?

Everyone BUT the ones that matter are getting help from the Fed. What about the consumer getting reamed from the same banks getting Government Bailouts? Consumers not only have decreasing credit card and home equity line limits but now they have to worry about their GIFT CARDS, a once BOOMING business for retailers. With many retailers falling into bankruptcy this holiday season where do

TEN THINGS OBAMA CAN DO TO HELP THE STOCK MARKET

Announce a Treasury Secretary as soon as possible. The quicker we have our new guy in the quicker the market can get comfortable (Summers!)Bail Out GM and F immediately. Politically incorrect but look what happened to the market when we let Lehman go bankrupt. A GM bankruptcy would cause massive unemployment and destroy a fragile financial system.Pick our new SEC

Analysts Opinions: “Just like new! Only one owner! New paint job!”

2008-11-10T09:45:00.000-08:00

Analyst opinions really annoy me! It is obvious they are meant to screw the average trader, not help him. GM is the latest example today. The stock is down 90% year to date. There are currently 11 analysts covering GM. One has a BUY rating still (so we bought $20, $15, $10, do we buy $3 now?)Five have a HOLD rating (good way to create tax losses!)Three UNDERPERFORM (

GREEDY MANAGEMENT!

Jerry Yang turned down $41b in February, stock price now $17b. GOOD JOB JERRY! I get SOO ANNOYED when I see companies pull this crap! Another recent example was ACLS. In June they turned down $6 per share. Stock price last week was 50c. WAY TO GO! Management teams like this should be lined up and SHOT. It's not like they wont make a fortune in ANY buyout. Those happy times are gone now greedy
