its too late for most m&a's,, and JNJ may become the biggest joke for doing this! super rich premium with all of their cash.
kr 20.96- continues to climb,,for a reason keep an eye on the aug 20+22.5 calls,, markets are ripe for new leadership,, and the mm's may game it just for movement to 25-30 rather quickly,, although if it keeps up the good work,, its worth those targets.
look at JNJ,, they used almost all their cash to buy the pfe product line!!! this somehow smells like early GM problems
only until the end of the month, watch for tanking to resume july3rd
some talk of bk- wouldnt suprise me,, they messed up years ago going with the 'loony tunes'--should have stayed attractive to the teen crowd. leave dis to the family crowd.
sixflags always had more aggressive rides,, dis is visual/seditary---------we couldnt wait to leave that place and free tickets are avail from any foriegn visitor outside the gates.
mbi it will.- may take a few days,, herb greenberg was all over it,, and poster on yhoo is detailing why.
(cyn tank not CYD) CVD 58.37,, basically said the same thing about their future in last e's,, recent headlines are misleading, put on CYN tankola watch.

MTMD 3.80- low vol and boring,, but the stat sheet is nice,, and IMHO- its better than chasing any birdflu/drug play. dont expect much movement for awhile....... markets are skiddish and still putting hopes on old leaders. markets are ready for new leaders.

agree with both charts,, wallstreet will try to 'correct' that,, pull up the indexes,, we are running out of time,, whack-a-mole season is getting nearer and nearer.
i pulled a 'long scan,, only abut 7stocks hit it,, and the only fresh stock i liked is iffy,, and an otc stock,,@ .09,,,,, i cant find higher priced runners..........i used to be able to find at least a few above $20-you know me,, i like pure nighe. :)
lol- yip (qqqq too) the euro is the funny one,, cause the russians are adopting it for oil.
if an anal comes on cnbc its a define start shopping puts,, unless they say something like wait a few dollars,,,,,,,, at least they tried to save YOU some cash.
yes,nice pick :) nikk has room to loose another 1000points,, and there is NO reason to support anything in this market,,,,,,, its still full of bulls waiting to go to slaughter. the bottom is in when no safe haven is safe and NOTHING goes up. so far lots of players calling the bottom,,, again again, again....
ditto hook,, ps-huge not on cnbc: the $irx spiked new multiyear HIGH on data right when cnbc poured the sugar (bait&tank) the markets
dont drink the cnbc koolaide.
cme- reporting 'data issues'= we are floating on fumes
hhhhhhhhmmmm, sounds like all people in power:)
yip get your dow 10k party hats out
$nikk tanking now -235,, they still dont hit a decent bottom until 12k.. $ftse still has room to loose 300-400 points- nothing going on over there,, we have risk of dow 8500 (im being nice) and adr stocks are gonna have phantom bids,, as brazil tightens trading during soccer,, banks too..........banks,, sounds like a cash crunch. could you imagine gold at 475? i can,, oil in mid 50's? i can.
our recent houseflipping buddies learning all about 'corrections' as they get their feet wet in trading.
big furry creatures without horns-ROFLMAO!-go with that,, it will keep you safe!
somebody on fnm board likes it,, i dont know anything about it.
goog pulled paying me my ad words,, dont know why,, they still owe me from when they clickfrauded me. oh, well anything so they can save a buck (actually 1.46 everytime people hit cramers link-lol -NOT my link to that site that 'prints' a recap. i did play by the rules,, i never encouraged/subscribed to anyone to click the ads.
boy,, market bulls keep trying to call a bottom,,they even go for the desprite 'everything' is priced in arguement.....no it isnt,, why would we bid up stocks for what they will NOT be able to produce in the future. only a stupid short covers in this market.
bearx too i heard was a short fund.

i wish they had been more forward thinking when they handed out so many rate cuts, we wouldnt be in this mess in the first place,, just tight but steady,, i hate hearing (in a way) about people who bit off more than they could chew so that some homebuilder/bank could get rich and now 1 way or the other we all pay for it.
facts, homework, nothing matters until suddenly it hits home to many of these people.
las vegas,, was a party town,,, people moved there thinking life would be grand......... unless you work closely to where the populas is and are in a high demand job it can be rough- family there,i was there for a few years- never got the casinno bug and i had free access to every thing. seemed crazy to live surrounded by loosers.
will america ever give up its core capitalist views? NO
will europe ever give up its core socialist views? NO
will japan ever learn real mgmt systems? NO
we just play ring around the rosy as needed,, we all play a role,,,, we are not to switch roles for long,, that would be like a person going straight/gay for a year-wont happen.
do you want to be led by the europeans? remember we ran away from them a couple hundred years ago,, and havent looked back-lol.
japan-A Ministry of Finance report today showed international investors sold the most Japanese shares on a net basis last week since December 2001.
``I think people are just taking risk off the table,'' said Robert Howe, chairman at Geomatrix Hong Kong Ltd., a hedge fund that invests in Japanese equities.
in another article, they noted they were afraid the global markets would pull out of asia.............. so,,,,,,,, with the decline they have already taken,,,,who has left if it wasnt us?
i was looking over alot of index charts etc.. something that bugged me,, for all the decline we have taken,,(the froth) we havent conpitulated yet,, when everyone throws in the towel on very heavy vol.. sometimes posted say the qqqq had very heavy vol today,,, but looking over the last year,, it was closer to normal (noting we have increased our trader partners to some degree- he havent seen them scream uncle,, just moving to other sectors)
dont expect alot out of japan unless they dont notice the RYL news. can you hear the sucking sound in all raw materials starting up again? i can
tell me what $gold quote is ON the chart,, mine still shows yesterday,, and another issue is holiday,, it used to ignore them like w/e's but the recent holiday the $nikk had is farther spaced,,, so it skews the chart (log and non-log charters can appreciate what i am saying)
im not bullish,, i think today was the 'best' of window (un)dressing,, cramer tried to pump PG and even admitted they paid too much for G,, he was pissed off that GIS was moving UP,,,, GIS is my birdflu/normal life plan:)
yip im in,, should have bought more puts-------40%+/- fast and dirty wouldnt suprise me 1 bit
bac is tanking RBAK is dead and dont know it yet- expect a 40%fast haircut in the next few weeks23->17-15
banks- edit,,today the mastercard IPO sucks money away from standard fin's,, the japan IPO next week sucks out whats left,,that starts the 2nd leg down,, today is the first leg with the mastercard ipo
banks tanked europe-- bank decline moving faster than birdflu-lol,, anal on bloomy commented on the momo in birdflu- he also gave some stats,, that should perk the ears of a cetain stock service that profiles when to go heavy short---------this should be interesting.
and we were way up on fut's,,, they dipped,,, and trying hard for a rebound--------dont bet on it,, no reason,, most of wallstreet window (un)dressing may be done. maybe a good bounce june 1 on the japan ipo.
$ftse strength is all 'oil'- candle set up AT best gets 5760 this week met by sellers,,
TOL, "Demand Decreasing" ...(PCL puts or short)
TOL's earnings PR release below:
http://biz.yahoo.com/pz/060523/99574.html
wb--if a phrase meant so much as to be headed,,, it would be 'sell in may and go away'- for those in need of a cramer pump,, i believe he goes on vacation next week,, and dont be suprised if he dont come back.
$nikk dragged down by banks,, the $ftse has a lame open and slowly giving it up,, futures are all highs- lets see that makes 2 countries with bank issues starting the declines,, moving faster than birdflu-lol,, and more dangerous.
yip,, i have noticed so many traders calling for the bottom of the market today,,, yet last week they were thinking about going on vacation to avoid a sell off. sounds like they didnt trade the market climb of 1999,, the crash of 2000 or the shock of 911 and still survived,,,,,,,,,,,nope,, most traders i see on the net got in 2002-2003 and all they know is UP.
agreed,, some hit my scans while back, i missed the entry i wanted-i was gone the day i wanted grrrrr,, (KMI most notibly),, then forgot to relook at them for a slow ride.. but to tell you the truth i still say throw a dart at most,, markets are in an ugly mood- great for shorts and still a lot of really cheap puts out there,, by late summer 'longs' will have taken alot of the 'cheap & easy hits' away,, and we may have to work harder for them.
i'd say 'expansion' has stopped-lol we already knew this as traders,, now the press is hot on the trail........be carefull 'long' on any stock right now.
an anal said in 2002,, BAC reflects the health/strength of american growth-----------im short BAC
