Should We Really Bail Out the Big Three Automakers with $73.20 Per Hour Labor?

What does that have to do with domestic vehicles being an inferior product? If anything, it says that even someone working retail can figure out what not to buy.

McCainomics: What Can He Do?

junkyarddog - Wouldn't you say that they differ in their approaches to foreign policy? The world isn't getting any smaller and I'd rather see a president who understands the art of diplomacy.

Houston to Obama: Smell the Oil

Well done CT...I'm a democrat as well but I realize that they have their share of poor policies as well. But when it comes down to it, another version of Bush is the last thing we need.

Umm, yeah - You're right. The two party system is a total failure. Its infuriating to watch people vote down party lines without thinking about the actual issue at hand.

On the whole, I think changes in power from one side to the other are best. I wouldn't want either party to be able to have full control for too long. If for nothing else, a balance of the appointment of judges needs to be kept.

Crocs Crushes the Bottom Feeders

I agree with Norman. Anyone who couldn't see that Crocs was just a tacky fad is just plain dumb. Does anyone think that people were really going to continue to wear those ugly plastic shoes? What a joke!

5 Key Quotes from US Airways on the Airline Industry

I agree about the "ala carte pricing" but who's not going to fly a particular airline because of a lack of in filght movies? Read a book, listen to your MP3 players, or take a nap...coach isn't that bad unless you are either extremely tall (then I understand your pain) or you are overweight.

Not Buying It: Sanford Analyst Toni Sacconaghi's iPhone Hit Job

Simply coming from a consumer's standpoint, I have no desire to get an iPhone. Its a cool concept but the phone itself is much too big. Does anyone else think its just been marketed so well that people just think its the cool thing to buy?

Drilling in ANWR: What's Not to Like?

Great post Lex Luz. Its always nice to see someone weigh in on things with a non-partisan mentality. Yes, there are democrats who think we can just stop using oil but there are also right wingers who don't understand the need to develop alternatives. Anyone swinging that far to either side needs to check their ego and rethink what they are saying.

Two Ways To Profit from Frontier Markets

GAF doesn't give all that much frontier exposure. I do like the ETF but its name can be a bit misleading as you can see below.

The country weights as of 5/29/08:

South Africa 54.73%
Israel - Domestic 21.60%
Morocco 7.82%
Egypt 7.28%
Jordan 4.18%
Nigeria 1.54%
Israel - Non Domestic 1.38%
Bermuda 1.17%
United States 0.30%

DryShips: a Potential Deep Sea Oil Driller?

I bought in at about $70 and while I'm going to hold on for awhile, it is a bit frustrating to watch earnings beat expectations but have the stock drop like a rock.

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.
