Gapper MGM 30% chance of at least being in the right direction?
The coffee stocks are surprisingly strong. PEET 26.30 up 1.77 on volume.
You've been killing me for several years early.
I say that fondly:)
6 is the max?
Golf was mediocre but I won $6. LOL Now who is going to say that is better than I can do here:)
OT: How did you manipulate DNDN down yesterday? Hope your not caught and prosecuted. Well, sorta hope. Well,---guess I don't care too much:)
Jeez, I've missed a big day.
ot: Barb, I agree with all you say. Safe districts seem to have contributed to a polarized congress. It is true of both major parties and it is not good for the country.
Bale: Here are a three links to charts to go along with the article. While the market did not get back to the unrealistic highs of 1929 it did go up 266% from mid 1932 to 1937 and never got close to the 1932 lows again.
All of the charts are at dsshort.com so one can use the first link to see the chart links below it.

DNDN had traded about 26M shares vs an avg of under 7M. It looks like there might be some big winners and losers.
ot bale: An unexpected Wowser! The article says it all.
WSJ NEWS ALERT: Sen. Specter to Switch Parties, Become Democrat
ot ico: I always work off of a couple of laptops and use an external mouse. The keyboard may change on this computer. I'll give this board a week or so to see if my fingers adapt.
Thanks, I'm so used to typing on laptops that I didn't even give a new keyboard a thought:)
Tanker SFD on MWM's posts.
NO NO NO NO!!! NOT KUDLOW!! NO!!!! hehe
Thanks ico:) It has been that long since I listened to Joe. I will again but spending time with Kudlow and Cramer is difficult.
Thanks ico on Joe Battipagglia. I haven't paid any attention to him for several years because he was always bullish. He will have my attention now.
Morning ico and all. Thanks on the gapper. HRAY is only up two cents now.
Just back from taking the car in for maintenance:(
Not in DNDN but wishing it well. Thanks blackcat for posting the article. Can't believe I missed it.
Jeez, I'm on a new laptop and liking it but the keyboard and I are not friends yet.
Tanker CAEI just because it looks like it wants to correct

Gapper HRAY on the chance that there will be further positive news.

LOL msgi, weren't we were all great traders then:) At least for the first part of the year.
Gapper QTM tanker DDRX although not sure that the tanker should be the gapper.
Nice SYNM pick msgi:) You beat me to only by only about 20 minutes.
My bad ico. Your mcmike dd link worked perfectly. Jerry didn't. Thank's much:)
Yes ico, I found looking back at the portfolios to be fascinating. Don't do it enough. The May portfolio was actually green at that time but it didn't last long.
I agree that the financials are the place to be. I think, barring a very possible disaster, that they have some time left. But, not at the March pace, for sure.
I agree, the sectors will be different next year. It seems every bull market features different sectors. I do think the financials, IF things go well, will be an above average participant. No bets though at this time.
I really think the odds favor another test of the lows, or lower lows. Hope not.
RICK: Yes, after extensive research, and with many different women sitting on my lap, and after giving those women thousands of dollars, I KNEW that RICK was a winner.
(Psst..I never made or lost any significant money on RICK, and have never received a lap dance. Don't even find the thought appealing. That said, I have been in RICK type places and find them depressing. No strong objections to them, but why ----?)
I started a portfolio on Finfiz in May. I owned all of tHe stocks at the time they were added but did not record the sales. I started another portfolio in March 2009.
The May 2008 portfolio is down 60%
SOL SOLF MOS POT FSLR GTE CSR ARD CLR STD FEED RICK SEED NOEC SDTH FSIN FSYS CHL LFC
LFC is down only 2% almost all of the rest are down over 50%% with SOL being the biggest loser at 84%.
The March 2009 portfolio is up 86%.
The March group: AIG FNM FRE BAC WFC C FAS
FNM AND FRE are down 12% FAS is up 174%. BAC and WFC are up 108%

POT 78.49 down 2.50 misses on revs and guides below concensus
:10AM Potash beats by $0.16, misses on revs; guides Q2 EPS below consensus; lowers FY09 EPS below consensus (POT) 80.99 : Reports Q1 (Mar) earnings of $1.02 per share, $0.16 better than the First Call consensus of $0.86; revenues fell 51.2% year/year to $922.5 mln vs the $975.5 mln consensus. Co issues downside guidance for Q2, sees EPS of $1.10-1.50 vs. $2.21 consensus. Co lowers guidance for FY09, sees EPS of $7.00-8.00 vs. $9.65 consensus, down from $10.00-12.00. Co said, "The first quarter demonstrated the benefits of our potash strategy of matching supply to market demand, as well as our ability to remain profitable even during periods of demand deferral... While buyers have delayed purchases since the fourth quarter of 2008, the need for potash and other fertilizers cannot be denied. The fundamentals of our business remain extremely favorable, with historically low global grain stocks, supportive crop prices, depleting customer potash inventories and expectations of tight potash supply/demand dynamics for at least the next five years." Potash movement was extremely slow in the first quarter as all major offshore markets destocked inventories and many buyers waited for the outcomes of contract negotiations with China and India. By the end of the quarter, Brazil and Southeast Asian customers had worked through significant portions of their inventories and gradually began placing new orders at spot market prices of approximately $750 per tonne, comparable to spot prices before the financial downturn. A sharp decline in sales volumes significantly impacted first-quarter potash gross margin, which fell to $166.6 million from $514.6 million in the same quarter of 2008. Sales volumes to North American customers declined 86 percent, while offshore volumes fell 78 percent. Only 0.5 million tonnes were sold in the quarter, compared to 2.5 million tonnes in first-quarter 2008.
Gapper VMW reports after the close. It's strong with volume today and has some new technology. <edit> to add a chart.
Tanker BBX An earnings guess
OT: Hi Barb. Nice to hear from you:)
DDRX continues; 5.32,up 0.88 on 340,000 shares vs its usual 40,000 shares. It seems to also be propping up the other latte shops. GMCR 54.50 has eked out the hoil and SBUX is up.
Thanks ico re CAEI:) Sheeze, my machine crashed and the link failed. Not related. LOL It is time for me to get a new computer.
I do remember mcmike's excellent research on RCH (CAEI). I was intrigued by the technology and the company has been on the fringe of the radar ever since.
I will refresh my memory by revisiting mikes dd.
Thanks for the reminder:}
re AAPL and others baby: The stock is extended and the volume is decreasing. Techs in May don't have a good track record.
I've watched you for some time and have never noticed you making a foolish trade.
GL with it:)
CAEI 1.89 up 10% seems to be picking up some interest over the last couple of weeks. I have some.
Chart a click back
Good luck with the AAPL puts baby:} I'll bet against you only with about a 35M volume or higher bo.
