Iran tells Syria it is serious in nuclear talks
TEHRAN (AFP) - President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Sunday told visiting Syrian president and staunch regional ally Bashar al-Assad that Tehran is serious about finding a practical solution to the nuclear crisis. ADVERTISEMENT
"We are serious in talks and we want the talks to be based on the law so it will bear practical results. We hope that other sides are serious too," Ahmadinejad told Assad in remarks broadcast live on state-run television.
On Saturday evening Ahmadinejad was quoted as telling his Syrian counterpart that Tehran "will not give an inch on its nuclear rights."

I don't trust anything, Kuwait now increasing oil out put! Which will further diminish demand. What i really don't trust is the scammers who pumped oil to 140+ biggest scam in history. We can produce synthetic for 55 brl, so tell me that big bubble in the commodities was just horse shit.
will dooooooo!
Will dooooooooo!
Hey lang just found your board, bookmarked!
Hey around 2.97 dont want to set it to tight and get shaken out.
Ill move it up like a trailing stop as the stock moves up, but i will do it manually. I dont like to show my hand to the mm's, pardon the pun. So i often like to hide orders or do stops just manually.
Hey you got your own board now? Ill have to stop bye, rdn was very nice too.=]
If iran changed its tone today, if oil plummets below 120 there will be bulls dancing in the streets.
Come by the dont bite the hand board. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=31183561
Im about to release some new picks from my scans.
go abk!!
Well now Iran is changing its tone which could be a big blow for oil, like i said the chart was maybe suggesting a small bounce up, but now all bets are off. Oil breaks 120 its gonna be bulls dancing in the streets.
Will just have to see mon
Well i think the shorts are covering from 90 here. Whats bill ackman doing?
Make sure the person who is the 50th board mark claims their prize.
gl champ. Will wait for any dips to add until then happy with what i got and what i have taken.
Sweet i just trade marked my name. Big time now baby! lol
Thats always the time. I agree thanks will watch.
OT Dont be, I'm unlucky in other ways. The exwife will probably take half the profits, and my best friend my dog just died.
If you look back at the chart early july the stock was near 10.
They came out and lowered guidance the stock fell.
So its all ready factored in, recent news with expedia should be huge for thrifty.
Yes thats the second reason I bought. I liked the chart, and earnings news is all ready been lowered, so expectations are low. Im just looking for some positive guidance for future, investing on the future not whats allready known. The expedia deal i think will bode very well for DTG.
Anyway i have my stop set
US SEC looks to expand short rule to entire market

US SEC looks to expand short rule to entire market
Reuters, Thursday July 24 2008
(Adds comment from Rep. Bachus, paragraph 12)
By Karey Wutkowski and Rachelle Younglai
WASHINGTON, July 24 (Reuters) - The top U.S. securities regulator remains steadfast in a plan to broaden an emergency rule to curb abusive short selling despite opposition from the hedge fund industry and other short sellers.
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Christopher Cox told lawmakers on Thursday the agency would soon propose expanding the rule covering the shares of 19 major financial firms to the entire market.
"We have immediately pivoted to a broader rule making ... so we can extend this kind of procedural protection to the entire market," SEC Chairman Christopher Cox told a House Financial Services Committee hearing.
"I think very soon we will be in a position to issue a proposal on that," he said. The SEC could consider its next steps at the end of July or beginning of August.
The SEC is also considering other remedies to short selling abuses, such as requiring the reporting of substantial short positions, Cox told reporters after the hearing.
Britain's financial watchdog, the Financial Services Authority, has also unveiled plans to deal with short sellers and introduced rules in June that would force investors to reveal significant short positions in companies selling new shares.
Cox said the public disclosure of significant short interests could be similar to, but not the same as, the SEC's current disclosure requirements for long positions.
"The concern on the short side is related in part to our ability to conduct enforcement," he said.
Cox said it would be "premature to provide specific contours of what reporting would look like" for short positions.
The temporary rule requires investors to borrow stock before executing a short sale in 17 major Wall Street firms such as Citigroup and Lehman Brothers as well as mortgage finance giants Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.
The emergency rule, which started on Monday, can only last a total of 30 days but the American Bankers Association and former SEC officials have been urging the investor protection agency to extend and expand the rule.
Alabama Rep. Spencer Bachus, the top Republican on the House Financial Services panel, has sent a letter to Cox urging him to expand the order to include financial firms with a market capitalization of at least $750 million or those that have at least a 5 percent short interest.
Groups representing short sellers have urged the SEC not to extend the emergency order past July 29, nor beyond the current list of companies.
The SEC has said it is not looking to outlaw short selling, a legitimate form of investing that can keep stocks from becoming overvalued.
Short sellers arrange to borrow shares and sell them in hopes of making a profit when the price drops. When an investor does not pre-borrow the shares before shorting the stock, it's called naked short selling, which is illegal if done intentionally.
The SEC's emergency rule has exempted market makers from the pre-borrow requirement so they can continue to facilitate trading in certain stocks. But market makers are still required to deliver securities by the settlement date.
At the hearing, lawmakers asked Cox why the agency did not reinstate the so-called tick-test rule on short sales, which was implemented after the 1929 stock market crash. Cox reiterated that studies have shown that the tick test is no longer effective.
In June 2007, the SEC repealed the rule, which only allowed short sales when the last sale price was higher than the previous price.
Cox said the idea of using a price test or some sort of circuit breaker to regulate manipulative short selling is a "subject currently under consideration by the commission staff." (Editing by Tim Dobbyn)

cheers enjoy rest of weekend. Please stop by over there and talk your stock du jour.
Im checking jmba per your request thank you
Rocco hope your having fun good and drunk?
good weekend man
If that macd and rsi cross over you should see at least a retest of the 270 area, would been good short at 300. If you look at the waves though it suggest a higher wave off higher lows. With that 300 and 310 being its reistance levels. I forgot 290 as well.
Yeah looks like it touched its resistance and now dipping maybe short to 2.25? All depends if u can even get a borrow or what oil does. Oil drops under 1.20 its gonna be huge Rally. Alas depending on what time frame, if oil up should be easy money for short day trade 1-3 days. Look at the $vix this market is so volatile, i have been whipsawed myself a few times.
I feel a change happening, in overall market trend
well my longs and doing scans this weekend and filtering the best out got about 20 symbols so far. I think most of them are bottom play slash reversals, and i know you dont like those plays here on uptrenders.
Sca you might of missed the party i had a little bit back under 1.00s and almost completely forgot about it. But now that might be needing a breather here.
Now some major catalysts that could happen. They could have a rate hike when better then gdp comes out. Thus crashing the commodity bubble as dollar improves. They could come out with enforcing naked short ban on all stocks! Imagine that the crooks actually do thier job and enforce the law. We could see some signs of the housing market rebound. Just a few off the top of my head.
My point is at these levels on dow etc, downside is less then upside potential. Lots of cash sitting on sidelines waiting to come in this market, now is the time when fortunes will be made.

If and i say if, that macd goes other way and oil breaks 120, say hello to the new bull market. One thing i noticed financial stocks were not effected by oil on friday that should tell us all something. Now some might argue that u can still have a bull market with oil over 120.
Well it looks like it might get a bounce wtic that is but we dont have confirmation either way yet.
I got to say weazel nice looking board here well done. Nice to look, at not to flashy but flashy enough, and informative.
well played old man!
Not clear i could see it going down to 2.50 level take a look at $wtic. It might have a bounce up to resistance, Monday's session will tell us much. No confirmation either way yet that current mini trend has changed, and what looks like a doji.
I knew you would like it
thanks hermano
I was thinking that as well
weazel will you post a nice chart like you did here
for dtg. Will you post it here friend thanks!

FTD i hate when that happens, I sold some of my trading shares, the other day at 2.50-2.60, but kept a bunch and sold some high 3s. Still hanging on to core long. Maybe it will dip and you will get another opportunity.

Wish you well friend.
Thanks Hot-cold, stop bye grab a beer make yourself at home.
weaszel i remember owning this at .29 cents many many years back, you think its ready for a pop here. I see maybe a run to 4 -4.70 short term, but theres got to be something with better potential.
Look at DTG tell me what you think, should a runner this week.
