Still watching, but just for giggles. It's a good example of what is wrong with the overall market.
Bought a couple of DRI puts this morning. See it closed up a little but should start falling here real soon.
See SPG?? Unreal. Starting to wonder, when it does fall. Will it be a complte free fall? Guess only time will tell.
I keep looking up in the sky....I know there must be pigs flying somewhere. Heard the Devil was also out trying on new ICE SKATES.

AD your so right, and thats what I am doing. Just backing away for a bit. still watching, not going anywhere, just got so close to the forrest, that I didn't realize I was looking at trees. thanks.
Just saw that General Growth Properties Inc filed BK today,,,,,,and SPG goes up 3bucks. I am not een going to comment, just going to shake my head.
morning will be here soon enough, good nght all.
I have lost all sense of this market. Makes no sense to me what so ever. Need tochange my approach. Been wasteing way to much money. logic no longer fits into the picture.
SPG should be in or close to the toilet. Many may think this is a ralley, bu I don't think so. Even if it were to last for some time. It is just a false sense of euphoria.
Like a guy I worked fr many years ago used to say, want a warm and fuzzy feeling, just go stand on a freeway overpass ad pee your pants. Thats wat this market is doing.
y congrats to those whho have been able to stay one step ahead of it, lots of money to be made, I ust keep going the wrong way.
SPG, DRI, GOOG, LVS, BAC, the list goes on. hell people wre even getting excited about COA the other day. Wouldn't tough that with a 20 foot pole at this time. but what the hell do I know?
Have fun,
Yes,,,,,,,and my God it hurt. Didn't even get a kiss. LOL
Unbeleivable,, every call I have is worthless. Stocks down,, e ery put I have is worthless, stocks are up. Got a b right idea a couple of weeks ago and cut my loses in financials. Look at BAC today boy that was bright....
A smart person would probably throw the towel in. Guess I'm not that smart. Need to regroup here and get back in step with the trend. Thanks for letting me whine, now - can get back into something productive.

Geithner's Stress Test "A Complete Sham," Former Federal Bank Regulator Says
Posted Apr 06, 2009 10:00am EDT by Aaron Task
Related: UBS, C, BAC, XLF, SKF, FAS
The bank stress tests currently underway are “a complete sham,” says William Black, a former senior bank regulator and S&L prosecutor, and currently an Associate Professor of Economics and Law at the University of Missouri - Kansas City. “It’s a Potemkin model. Built to fool people.” Like many others, Black believes the “worst case scenario” used in the stress test don’t go far enough.
He detailed these and related concerns in a recent interview with Naked Capitalism. But Black, who was counsel to the Federal Home Loan Bank Board during the S&L Crisis, says the program's failings go way beyond such technical issues. “There is no real purpose [of the stress test] other than to fool us. To make us chumps,” Black says. Noting policymakers have long stated the problem is a lack of confidence, Black says Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner is now essentially saying: “’If we lie and they believe us, all will be well.’ It’s Orwellian."
The former regulator is extremely critical of Geithner, calling him a “failed regulator” now “adding to failed policy” by not allowing “banks that really need desperately to be closed” to fail. (On Saturday, Geithner said on Face the Nation, if banks need "exceptional assistance" in the future "then we'll make sure that assistance comes with conditions," including potentially changing management and the board, but did not say they'd be shut down.)
Black says the stress test must also be viewed in the context of Geithner’s toxic debt plan, which he calls “an enormous taxpayer subsidy for people who caused the problem.” The fact bank stocks have been rising since Geithner unveiled his plan is “bad news for taxpayers,” he says. “It’s the subsidy of all history."

worth keeping an eye on, at least short term
they were badly beaten down, combined with seveal new casinos about to open, combined with lvs ceo buying 25 mill worth himself. combined with upcoming operations in macau
silly people, sell for pennies when there are dollars on the table
lvs new hod 5.08 sitting on a tripple go you sob go
good morning world, LVS up new hod 4.95 still holding aprol 5 calls
Does this mean that 91.5% are employed????? If you really think about it, thats not bad. (with all due respect to those who are unemployeed at the moment and do not wish to be.) But 8.5% is no where close to depression levels.
Lang, any thoughts on AA. (the stock LOL) Just starting to look at it, thinking it may be a good put for monday.
