Offshoring Is a Dubious Policy When the Question is Oil Drilling

Mr. Frankel. I read your article. You are an idiot. Besides that you are not honest for you said "all the oil in all the offshore sites adds up to a few months of national consumption." On it's face you are dishonest and even mock truth that dominates the consideration.

Redwood Trust: From $30 to $4 by Year-End?

On a technical analysis basis this stock has obvious resistance at 25. On the short side if it closes below 20 on high volume or closes below 20 for 2 days in a row. Pile on for a short!

Titan Machinery: Doesn't Anybody Look at Valuation?

Glenn, I have to agree with MaxTheDog. Analysis reveals facts both positive and negative. I am familiar with the stock as a top pick by Investors Business Daily and made money on it. I am glad to know the facts presented by this article. It this author had not told us who was. Nobody yet. He can present info. and tell us he is short as well as he is long. Maybe the stock went down because he revealed the weak under belly.

To Meet Wind Power Goals, Government Action Needed

I traveled out West as a boy and remember the beautiful landscape. I have seen pictures of hundreds of windmills on some of the same kind of landscape. It's unsightly. I believe the phrase is "ruins the environment." And they kill lot's of birds. Eagles too. Fueling America takes a magnificient amount of fuel. Oil and Nuclear can do it. And it keeps the wealth coming and can (if applied) take down our deficit and give us the resources to develop cleaner and lasting energies. Alternative energies add to the deficit and size of government.
We people who still think this is the best large country in the world are sorry for your mioptic view of America John.

Alt Energy and Trading Green

You Greenies deserve the utmost condemnation. Look what you did to the poor. And to the seniors on fixed incomes because you did not allow us to take the wealth we have out of OUR land. Fossil fuels do not cause global warming.
What about the moral environment. NBC is Green and pollutes our land with it's veiwing trash. Our moral climate continues to descend and the greenies help it.
We have a right to take the wealth out of our land. This is leading to enormous additions of government control.

...And I Could Do Better Than Lieberman

Mr. Wiandt: "spreading freedom, liberating people from oppression..." is "gibberish." Not to people who are not free and are oppressed.
In that context you referred to an article by the New York Times where on this subject they were the reasoned ones. WOW. How turned around you are. Leading up to the Iraq war the New York Times wrote 16 editorials telling us to go to war.

...And I Could Do Better Than Lieberman

We should not let them get away with diverting attention from the real reason for the rise in oil. The blocking by congress of drilling for oil and building nuclear power plants.

Global Regulation Trend Favors PowerShares Global Clean Energy

Global Warming is not science. It's politics of the socialist kind. And religion of the kind that says the earth is our mother. Sizing up to be one of histories biggest hoaz.
The earth's temperature changes in cycles. That is the science. Man is not causing it nor going to stop it.
Private ownership of property is the cornerstone of freedom and independence. Global warming is the socialist device for ending at that.

The Floorboards are Creaking Beneath Lumber Liquidators: Part I

i AM IN THE WOOD FLOORING INDUSTRY and have MY OWN WEBSITE. ll HAS GOOD MARGINS BECAUSE THEY MAKE THEIR OWN FLOORING OR BUY FROM CHINA. Their advertising is everywhere and is creating an enduring and valuable brand name. They are shedding their image for junk. They have a great amount of room to add stores in this country. I compete with them all the time and would say that 1 in 5 people who buy a wood floor include them in the shopping process. That is huge.
In the immediate future (1-3 yrs.) i expect them to decline in share price. But expect them to come back when the economy and housing return!
If they hit $6-8 i would buy 25 shares just to keep them on your radar for the return up.

Supply-Side Fairy Tales

I notice that all these solutions to the problem of rich people is to take their money and give it to a central government to allocate. People have a right to be successful. Just have a heavy hand breaking up monopolies and businesses controlling price in an industry. The government receives the fund's she needs to do her task and that is it! Why is our central government allowed to be so incredibly rich? Has it dawned on you that she has our children's education(soon from 6 months up). Our retirement. Soon our medical. She backs 40% or more of our mortgages. That is the homes we live in. She controls our food and will essentially control all energy when this crises is done.

Supply-Side Fairy Tales

The answer comes out wrong when we ask how much businesses and the wealthy should pay in taxes. The question is essentially one and one only. How much in funds does the government need to do it's task. The rest is our money and we will take care of social problems surprisingly well.

Consumer Spending: The Reality of Zero

archman. It's not what others make. Nor is it the fact that people living in poverty. It's how you(presuming you are middle class) and I(middle class) live compared to history and the world today. And we are in the top 10% are we not. If you did not manage your finances and occured too much debt do not blame the system.
The real issue for the poor is opportunity. How hard is it to get out of poverty here vs. countries in history and the rest of the world. And the answer is pretty good for life in the USA. In comparison that is. Except the environment is increasingly difficult for people to move up isn't it archman. Who did that. We want less government and more money left with the people. And we want to exercise our right to take the wealth in our land out of the ground. Who has been stopping that. Nuclear energy is clean and safe. Ask the French. Who stopped nuclear energy.
Again, I do not care if people get rich here. That is their right! And not your right to stop it. I do care about MY opportunity and your parties interference with it.

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.
