In the money on VIX ?
Any thoughts on Alcoa before or after earnings today?
Don't know. Not a big fan of locomotives
A diesel engine can supposedly be converted to NG with parts that will fit in both hands. I'm sure there is a little more to it than that but.......
NG Availablity will be the first hurdle, but once more truckstops have NG pumps, no brainer
"One company stepping up to develop and utilize CNG domestically is Chesapeake (CHK). By doing so they hope to spark more demand for natural gas here in the U.S. They have invested $160 million in Clean Energy Fuels (CLNE), run by T. Boone Pickens, to add natural gas pumps to 300 truck stops. Approximately 1,000 more are needed to develop a nationwide network. CHK plans on rolling out a proprietary DNG (Diesel Natural Gas) technology later this year whereby any diesel engine can be changed to run on a mix of natural gas and diesel fuel."
Truckstops converting to NG is huge. Diesel is killing the trucking industry.
50% of the country is on some sort of entitlement. Doubt "all in our society" by far
March consumer-confidence gauge declines
Case-Shiller index falls in January
Home prices hit 9-year lows
TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Economy would have been a better choice or words, rather than Market.... either way...
PURE GARBAGE........Market can't sustain itself on it's own after 4 years of this mess so they will have to continue to prop it up til they can no longer
Understand. Thanks for the replies. I've yet to nibble, but.........is there anything like the vxx that can be bought that follows volatility that can be bought as shares?? The big drop (10-25%, or more depending on the circumstances)has got to be coming. THere is too much out there that does not add up in the world.
and looking more and more likely. Being in trucking, I think there is no doubt that oil will go to $200/barrel overnight of the first bomb being dropped on Iran. The country will then stand still.
Yep, and personally, I don't see anything but BS driving this market higher.
Why not? (not a smart A question)
Well heck, with all the great news coming outta the goobermint, who the heck needs more QE right???
Saw the ticker a few minutes ago at $19.32.......this market gives new meaning to the word insanity.......unreal
Ahh. I'm 41. First time I heard it was Afghanistan. Just Googled it and it went along with the "shock and awe" plan perfectly they say
That's the last term I remember for a monster bomb when we first started bombing Bin Laden and friends in Afghanistan. Wasn't it a 15-20k lb er?
Is this market waiting on a daisy cutter to hit Iran or what??? Terribly boring week.
Are you buying VXX "shares" or options?
Not looking good for the goobermint number masking!
So even higher from here.............
14000, here we come!!!
Yep, just got off the phone with my money manager looking into VIX as well. Looks like a no brainer to me at $14. Just need to figure out how to play the hand
Why is it even a question of further easing when all these numbers coming out have everyone jumping for joy and the on the bandwagon???

“We avoided a major banking crisis in Europe, and central banks are doing all they can to reinflate the economy and prop up stock prices,” Raich said.
REALLY???????
See what I mean about VIX on this sight by chance? Type it in for a quote here then go to marketwatch.com . No quote here but actively moving on marketwatch
Speaking of raising taxes, I'd like to know what everyone here thinks is the "fair share" for the "rich" to pay.
Sorry, I was rushing. I've always watched VIX on marketwatch.com
VXX Looks to be named the same thing but VIX trades right now at 15.64 and VXX is at 22 and change. What is the difference in the 2? When I put VIX in on this site, I get the same price as VXX but it does not appear to be active.
VIX vs VXX ???
Fed reportedly weighing a new form of quantitative easing
The Ides of March, here we come!!
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Crude-oil and gold futures traded higher Wednesday, leaving behind their anemic floor-trading opening as investors cheered a Wall Street Journal report that Federal Reserve officials are considering a new type of bond-buying program. Gold for April delivery GCJ2 +0.84% rose $15, or 0.9%, to $1,686.90 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. Crude for the same month's delivery CLJ2 +1.01% rose $1.10, or 1.1%, to $105.80 a barrel on Nymex. The program would buy mortgage or Treasury bonds but would tie up the money by borrowing it back for short periods and at low rates.
Was just about to ask
How bout that move in gold?!
Got it. Thanks
H Eric, how's ECRI looking to ya? Read an article over the weekend that new recession is all but priced in.
Yep, I sure do miss the 500 point swings of yesterfall
Anyone have any thoughts on DMND after the beating it took a few weeks back? Tough to find any buys in thismarket right now with everything screaming for the sky on all this great news and numbers coming outta the goobermint
Never a dull moment
You're kidding right? The Dow is almost back up to 13,000. There's no stopping us now! This economy just picked up steam and runnin like a freight train straight up a hill! 20k here we come. No such thing as running outta track is there????
