Hot Pick Of The Day

Tatnic,
I was just kidding with him and I think, hope he does, that he knows that. Anyway if I really felt that way about him I wouldn't bother with the acknowledgement of the trade and the time spent to think about it to tell him what I thought. I'm sure it's no big deal with Peanuts. Is it Peanut?
I like that "Dumocrats" coinage.

I probly spelled that wrong...it should have been dummocrats, right?

That post remined me of Howard Dean....remember when he insulted everyone south of the mason dixon line? And now he's the head of the democratic party...smart, real smart. And the dumocrats wonder why they can't win any elections.

Wow! look at the action today in APOL. Looks like it just got pushed off a cliff.

Going to $30? Maybe?

pisses me off too. I had noticed apol weeks ago as a potential short candidate (the net tangible assest were coming off a damn cliff), but took my eye off it, esp when it was announcing earnings. What the hell...win some, lose some.

I meant peanut's post, not skis...which is pretty damn funny! Glad to see peanuts has a sense of humor though.

steel of old was not galvanized. All modern cars are made from galvanized sheet metal. This is also the bone of contention with car makers since its the galv. steel that has the highest tariffs and they're fighting tooth and nail to get those tariffs removed.

Looks like Galvanized sheet steel, better general construction and design, Use of plastics and use other "coatings" are a big reason that modern cars don't rust out so badly. Read this info you're interested....

My Super Superior Ford F-350 with 6.0 Powerstroke diesel is a 2003 year model and it has galvanized sheet metal in it. I know because I jammed the drivers side door into a rock wall (in the driveway) at my house as I was backing up, CRUNCH!.... YES, I had the door open .... It damaged the door and cracked the paint, I chipped the paint off in a small spot and it has never rusted.... AND I can clearly see the zinc coating on the steel. I really need to get that fixed btw.

New born,

MCS looks like it ight have a bullish chart pattern, could you post an opinion?

We just have to take the cork out of his ass and let him breathe some.

you guys are cracking me up!

Peanuts, in all due respect your post is a little condescending don't cha think? You may not be so cocky if those comfy little steel tariffs get eliminated...my guess is that the upcoming election will bring a new focus on those tariffs. And what makes you think interest rates are going up? What are your credentials to make that prediction?

The guy is probably a nice guy but he has that distinct edge to him that is alittle abrasive and authoritative. I think it has to do with youth. I still think he will smooth out over time like a bottle of wine. We just have to take the cork out of his ass and let him breathe some.

Lye, come on, dude. You rednecks drive me crazy sometimes. Do you need to see my credentials?

I wonder how many people are in China compared to the US... hmm, we just hit 300 Million today, China has 4 times that. And, I would venture to guess that less than half of those 1.2 Billion people have toasters. Your vision is sharp, but your scope is off.

You'll regret that you didn't build that small commercial steel building now instead of waiting until interest rates are even higher... along with the price of steel. Consolidation will keep pricing advantage with the producers.

Ya know what I left behind a long time ago is trying to determine which way the market is going to go. Especially trying to read anything into these reports etc. I can appreciate Spikes reasoning because he trades in the Dow mini futures I think but other than that I don't think in todays world it matters as long as you are on top of the current trend whichever way it is going to go and once that is determined play it as it shows you what it is doing.
Everyday is a different scenario and in my opinion should be approached from that perspective. Especially if you are trading equities over the short term. You don't necessarily go long when it is definitely trending down and you don't go short, except on specific setups even within a clear uptrend that show you the stock is going down, in a clear uptrend. Isn't that all you have to know if you're trading equities? Only you have to understand that and control your emotions and what you think rather than what you see it doing.

One of the most successful hedge fund managers, I think his name was Simmons, has started a new fund that focuses on equities only and its holding period is going to be months and years, not hours and minutes. Hey, if we can scrape up 20 million between us all we can get in!

Really? The DeLorean and the Saturn are the only cars I know of which were made of non-rusting body parts...

I don't know if it's still true, but in earlier days they made the Corvette bodies out of fiberglass. No rust there.

the core cpi is a much more important number than the ppi and its not out of line with what everyone expected. You guys need to learn your market mechanics better and not get frightened out of little dips. If we have a strong finish this week, look for a down week next week.

Peanuts, wise move dude. Potential for correction is very high now. I think we have a short-term top and correctives are about to be delivered rather quickly. I'm looking for 400-800 point Dow correction. I also suspect AAPL will disappoint tonight, and that'll be some bear fuel. After hours action will be worth watching. Good shorts are YHOO EBAY and IMCL. Caution longs!!
