I think both Liberals and Conservatives are both so far out in their own little world it's sickening. Why isn't there a larger majority that disregards their personal and emotional bias and votes in accordance to how this country was originally intended to be run? We need a Libertarian or Objectivist president, but knowing how much of a slave most people are to their emotions and miseducation, I assume my dream is only a fantasy.
I think you hit the nail on the toe.
On the toe? Gee, I hope that's a good thing. <g>
Laird Cregar, Just as oil was the main concern this past spring and summer, I think the elections are going to be the next weight on the market's ankle (meaning uncertain/neutral trading). I really think the markets are going to react strongly to the election results. Not to bring up politics and I don't care to discuss the differences of each candidate. Only pointing out that the market will be influenced by it, both before the results and after. I think your bull run might have to wait until after November.
Even after INTC's outlook? I'm adjusting my bottom from 1900 - 1920 to 1880 - 1900, this will weigh on the markets tomorrow. INTC already down 4.6% in after hours. When it bottoms out, I think the Nasdaq will stagger and trade in neutral teritory for a short while before it makes it's move back upwards.
I have MSFT short at 28.61 from two weeks ago, it's down .8% to 27.38 in afterhours after being in positive after hours teritory before the INTC announcement.
Looks like crude oil tanked, which caused this rally.
The tech companies are only "warning" they will not meet the extremely high expectations the market has set in place for them. During early stages of bull markets, earnings increase dramatically and often accelerate as the bull market progresses, but as when the bull market slows down, they are not able to meet the huge expectations the market as placed for them. I wouldn't expect a "crash," just a modest slow down. So even though companies are still doing relatively well, the market looks at it as a "crash."
Sounds kind of silly to me. Sort of contradicts logic and critical thinking, which is important in trading. But that's JMHO.
My astro work suggests a huge gold/silver rally soon
What is "astro work"? Some kind of trading software?
You're implying that I said everything that is reported by the media is true, I never said nor implied that.
What does that have to do with anything?
Kerry and Dem's block Civil Liberties of Americans living Arizona.
When? And specificly which liberties? Like the patriot act?
I guess you're right then. But I guess I should have learned also that just because the president reports something, that doesn't make it truthful either (WMDs).
You always ignore/twist the truth when confronted with it. Did you learn that from Bush?
It was reported. It's obviously truthful. There is nothing worse than someone who cannot admit they're wrong.
Truly Lincoln was our wisest president, also the one I respect the most. Here are some other quotes by him that would relate to Bush's attempt to pass an amendment banning gay marriage.
Don't interfere with anything in the Constitution. That must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our liberties.
--Abraham Lincoln
Our safety, our liberty, depends upon preserving the Constitution of the United States as our fathers made it inviolate. The people of the United States are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.
--Abraham Lincoln
And here's my favorite by Ayn Rand in relation to gay marriage amendment.
The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government.
--Ayn Rand
Everyone has the right to make his own decision/s, but none has the right to force his decision on others.
--Ayn Rand
Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities (and the smallest minority on earth is the individual).
--Ayn Rand
The basic point should be, it doesn't matter whether someone agrees with gay marriage or not. It's "ok" to be against it, but no one has the right to force their personal beliefs on anyone else (pending that other person is not directly harming anyone else).
Word of mouth travels fast, and naturally people like gambles. CMKX fits that category perfectly as a cheap lottery play, and unfortunately people are attracted to those kind of "investments" (if you'll allow me to use that word).
But I would venture that word of mouth is the number two source of this stock's popularity. Small cap websites being the first.
How was that post helpful to anyone? Take it elsewhere.
Oh a rally will come, that's assured. The market just needs to find a solid base first. Still looking for 1900 - 1920, possibly lower.
Don't forget your stops there bucko. <g>
I think we could see a short, one day bear rally in this sell off. I'm looking for a bottom around 1900 - 1920, and then neutral trading for a few days, maybe weeks, then a proceeding rally above 2000.
EDIT: Just noticed a sell signal for the Nasdaq weekly on Stockcharts.com. http://stockcharts.com/gallery?$COMPQ
A matress cannot hide your money from inflation.
I'm cheering this bearmove on. Go Go Go! #msg-3490978 I still do not understand why people did not see this coming. Did we forget the market sometimes goes down too? It's been over two months since a healthy down move has occurred, this was more than needed.
Wow, did CMKX hit .0002 today? Ok, so I was a few days off, big deal, but I was right. #msg-3257237
shoreco, Just an off topic tip for posting charts. You can post pictures through Yahoo Geocities for free and without having the pictures reduced in size. Just sign up for the "Free" version of Yahoo Geocities (you don't need the pay ones). Just upload the file from your computer to the "File Manager" and click on "View" to view the file and copy the link. It doesn't reduce the size or quality of the image or cost you anything.

My MSFT is tanking hard in after hours. I shorted it at 28.61, but never expected this after a day of moderately bullish/neutral trading.
I was looking for a vague double bottom somewhere in the 1080 - 1100 area. I've been sleeping with my bear quite a few days now.
My MSFT is moving quite nice. Down .16 (.57%) to 27.86, shorted at 28.61 Come on, am I the only bear in here? Haven't I been saying this for days? I suspect we'll see 1950 by day's end.
Currently, I'm looking for a double bottom on the Nasdaq around 1900, other may disagree, but the market is in desperate need of a run downward to test short term lows, any cyclical trader will affirm that suspicion.
Seriously? How long is the "rest of the summer"? Surely if you give the market time it will set up in your favor.
Currently I do not know kennedy. However, from my personal knowledge on domain names, I do not believe it is copyright infringement. I'm just wondering what was the point of posting the link on that message board? The site contains no information about CMKX or anything else for that matter. From what I've gathered on what is on the site, it seems it has been registered by a group of longs who are trying to prevent the site from being registered by bashers.
Look what I found on Yahoo News Message boards. This is ridiculous.

The market could be looking at a short term double bottom if oil becomes a problem again...let's hope so. <g> I'm short on MSFT @ 28.61 I saw lower trading oil yesterday and was very pleased. Wonder if this will prevent the quiet market week everyone was expecting.
So janice shell, the existence of naked shorts on or offshore have never been 100% verified?
What does it matter in the first place? You cannot go around policing everyone who posts something that you may deem "offensive." Obviously you're young, and you must realize you will spend your entire life being spit at, offended, hated, and ridiculed no matter what belief system you subscribe to. Ignore those whom you don't like, it makes life a lot easier.
MSFT trades very erratically within a nice channel. Who knows, if it test 27 and doesn't go, atleast I'll have plenty of cushion to wait until it does.
Do you watch the large caps? I'm currently short on MSFT(at 28.61), looks like a very promising short play.
positiontrade, I am a bit confused. So does your reading on the market indicate a bullish or bearish sentiment? From the indicators I've been watching, I'm very bearish. The indicator used on Stockcharts.com recently gave a sell signal. TIA

MMICDT, You need to read a bit more on contemporary Islam. I am not a Muslim, but the only ones fighting a "holy war" in the Middle East are the extremists, which are numbered in very few. The Muslim religion is not inherently a violent religion, atleast no more than the Christian religion is/has been.
The reason why there are many in the Middle East using the Muslim religion as a tool for terrorism is because they live and grew up in a very primitive society, without the very liberal beliefs that are taught here in America. The Muslim religion is several hundred years behind the Christian religion as far as "advancement." Remember, several hundred years ago Christians roamed the world killing those who did not believe in their religion, they even went as far as killing each other (Catholic vs. Protestant). However eventually in modern America, our "liberalization" of religion has took out the violence that once plagued many religions such as Christianity and Islam in their early stages. The Middle East is just behind us in term of "modernization of religion."
Ignore, accidental post.
I doubt Bush knew of Enron's corruption. Even though they were good friends, I doubt they were friends because they both were crooked businessmen.
