The Pitfalls of Using Inverse ETFs

I use the ultras when stocks are going up. Stocks tend to go up slowly while going down rapidly making the ultra shorts something to stay away from.

Dennis Gartman: Go Long Infrastructure, Short Everything Else

I like Gartman for short term trades but not for long term. I expect steel and commodites to continue down and most other stocks to go up or stay the same this year.

Gold Poised to Move Higher

Gold going up? Wheres the inflation? Gold is over priced in a deflation. After the last deflation (1930s), it took 40 years for inflation to appear. I hope you are young.

Also dont forget gold never goes up. It bought a suit of clothes in 1500 and it still does.

Corporate America's Unhealthy Love for Buybacks and Dividends

Growth certainly makes no sense during a time of contraction. Seems to me companies were right.

Four Reasons for an Immediate Rise in Gold

While gold may not drop for another year, it is doubtful if gold will go up without inflation. Your other reasons are of little importance for gold rising.

Nine Reasons This Recession Is Welcome

Very good article. Yes these downturns are needed corrections and this one will completely turn the shape of the economy around. Its also too bad that the govd.refuses to not meddle in the market. They always make it worse and prolong the correction.

Treasuries Will Disappoint- Continued

A good article giving both sides of the bond debate. However I disagree with the conclusion. It seems to me that this will last many years with very low interest rates and no inflation. Bonds will be the best investment for a long time.

Prophet Bernanke Plans for Inflation

Deflation and inflation are caused by long term inbalences. They can only be cured by the market. The govd. is really quite unable to cure them. The govd. can only make the imbalences worse and prolong the problem. Roosevelt showed this. He was unable to end the depression. In 1939 over 20% of the workers were still unemployed.

Obama the genius will follow Roosevelt.

China Is Looking Fragile

China is similar to the US in the 1930s. Some people went hungary but most people made it. At the end of the depression the US became the strongest country in the world by freeing Europe.

Dont put China down.

10 Ideas for Newspaper Survival

Old W---Newpapers have always been biased. No one exists who is objective although most people think they are.

For a paper to be sucessful they most give the people what they want. The only media that is sucessful is talk radio.

Wall Street Breakfast - Sample Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News by SA Editor Rachael Granby Bank trio becomes duo. Wells Fargo (WFC) will become the largest U.S. bank by branches with its bid for Wachovia (WB), after Citigroup (C) withdrew from compromise negotiations late yesterday on concerns about the quality of some of Wachovia's assets. Wells Fargo, with a bid valued at $11.4B, expects the purchase to be completed by the end of the year, and denies it will have to absorb assets shakier than originally thought. Government considers next steps. As the financial crisis continues to worsen, the U.S. government is considering two dramatic steps to turn around, or at least slow, the damage: guaranteeing billions of dollars in bank debt and temporarily insuring all U.S. bank deposits. The moves, which would mark the government's most extensive intervention to date, are in discussion stages only. Credit stays frozen. As frozen credit markets refuse to thaw, the cost of default protection on corporate bonds reaches new global records amid investor concerns the credit crisis will trigger corporate failures as companies struggle to finance their businesses. Interbank lending remains limited, and borrowing from the Fed's expanded discount window continued its trend of setting new highs every week, as the total daily average rose to $420.2B vs. $367.8B last week.

Better Choices - Cramer's Lightning Round (10/15/08)

by SA Editor Rachael Granby

Stocks discussed in the lightning round session of Jim Cramers Mad Money TV program,
Wednesday, October 15.

Bullish Calls:

Continental Resources (CLR) -- "This is a remarkable decline. All of the high quality ones are down so much, I can't go against it. This is where you pull the trigger.
3M (MMM) -- The moment this stock starts yielding 5%, I'm a buyer. Until then, keep your powder dry.

Bearish Calls:

Computer Sciences (CSC) -- This is a company that was going to be bought, but they passed up the chance. Now I don't want to buy it."
Annaly Mortgage (NLY) -- I think this is a business model that needs to borrow money. Definitively do not buy."
Northrop Grumman (NOC) -- You can't own the defense stocks right now. If I had to own one, I'd look at Lockheed Martin (LMT) with its good dividend.
