Should we abandon common sense safety rules because of tradegy...The laws have been strict in not allowing mobile homes and other wide loads to be moved on highways after sunset...Not sure, but many of these laws were probably written before the days of highspeed and often quite congested interstate and fourlane highways...Pennsylvania is suspending this law in their state saying that it was requested by the Homeland Security Dept...LJ
Capt, have you been sneaking peeks at tuttle's notes on peak oil?...LJ
mick, I've seen the dollar signs at the top of many of the posters Id's over the past few days...Don't see all of the messages being sent measuring up to the dollar signs that you now think is premium messaging...Tough times for folks to hold in their thoughts right now though...Sometimes folks forget that freedom of speech is an act of responsibility dependant upon common sense and courtesy...LJ
mick, for most folks if you are not working poor you are poor looking for work...some just gotta move more money around each month...bottoms up...one of the things that moved up when the economy started picking up was the price of scrap metal...You can call a couple of local recycling centers about once a week to plot it's course...the next 30 days could start a bearish trend in this simple barometer due to the hurricane and a lot of junk created from recently valuable property...gives you time to plan a possible exit strategy...just my own thought process......For your weather board, NOAA is good for tracking...You can search under typhoon to track the other side of the globe...NABI looks to be headed toward South Korea but I do not know anything about that area myself...It is projected to weaken, so this is just a mention if you want to track as a learning experience...Enjoy the weekend...LJ
mick, you know what you get when you buy something?...What someone intended to sell you...But some of the packaging is too good to pass on, even for the cautious...They say you never quit making mistakes until you quit trying...LJ
lol, of course not...LJ
mick, I haven't been on a riveting walk about on the web waves in awhile...So much to learn and so little time...LJ
Have you ever done any cross-referencing on ceo names in some of the penny stocks?...Pretty durn interesting reading at times...LJ
mick, hope all goes well for your family members headed to the katrina hit region to work with the relief effort...LJ
Len, maybe you meant something different in your post...The markets did not open the next day after the 9-11 tragedy...When they did, it was katie-bar-the-door if you wanted to slow the selling...Several big down days and weeks before any recovery in prices started...Since then a lot of money has flowed into and through the economy...Many on this board know that a lot of the companies that you are each mentioning are cheap by historical valuation standards...Do you sell a company selling at 3 to 5 times earnings because they may take a 20% or 30% short term hit to revenue or earnings?...I don't see anyone around here promoting airlines or the latest penny-flyer of the day...But just one opinion, of course...LJ
patience comes to mind also, dealing with fema...LJ
mick, the BB mm's control the action...sometimes we get lucky...LJ
Buzz, they best be destroying the video tapes that have been airing for years on the PBS network that analyze in detail the tradegy of a major hurricane hitting the New Orleans area...Almost every weather reporter in America is trained on this very subject...Denial for response and reaction just don't cut it...LJ
mick, here is another little thought for folks...Most folks are due their fixed income govt. checks on the 1st or 3rd of each month...So that falls on Thursday and Friday for September...But think of how many may be displaced at the moment and won't be getting their regular mail service...Also there may have been a few smaller hometown banks that got decimated and may hinder direct deposit routing...More folks who could face possible short-term hardships to compound their distress...And not a word mentioned anywhere advising them of what to do...oh WELL...LJ
Capt, you may want to spread this info about the mother ship...The Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon is scheduled for this weekend...Jerry Lewis is pledging 1 million to the katrina relief effort...A toll free number will be available during his telethon this year for additional katrina relief effort donations...Mr. Lewis has established years of credibilty in securing funding for MDA sufferers,imo and this should be considered by anyone wishing to donate to the relief effort...LJ
Hweb, my playbook on SODI shows $1.29 per share of cash as of quarter ended 05-31-05 and shareholder equity of $1.61 per share...The longterm holdback on the company appears to me to be getting the final resolution on a past epa dispute...The business environment now seems much more favorable for a positive final resolution...Just speculating on that line of thought...Hurricane katrina started bearing down on an area close to West Palm Beach, Fl. last Wednesday and the price weakened then...If you look back at the company's 09-16-04 8K and consider what has changed in only a week, it is understandable to have seen the weakness in the share price...Here is my curiosity...Are any of the company's products such as DC/DC converters, capacitors, motor drives, switches, etc. used in products such as generators?...Good luck...LJ
BRVO down 14.62% to .555...down .095 today...meat said up from here...You Pumpy 08-25 S-8?...useless info...ROFL...LJ
where do i put all my new SODI's?...lol...LJ
10-4 , mick...the 100 share mm shake on SODI looks to have triggered some stop/loss trader sells...slickery, hopefully...LJ
mick, MM shakedown on SODI going on today...They may want your cheap shares...Started a setup yesterday afternoon but not sure where it is headed...That is only a 100 share trade at 1.30...LJ
Italy sending aid to relief effort for katrina victims...LJ
mick, I'll take $24 ppb for Christmas Eve as long as we are speculating on prices...You have national guardsmen burning $3 per gallon oil in the US now, not the cheaper price as in Iraq...LJ
OK, mick, but don't start saying that he is worth his weight in gold...Traders should like the oil plays right now...I'm not smart enough to get out it's way if the oil ppb moves down...LJ
good job, Capt...Now all you have to do is sell a few of your boats to afford gas for the trip...LJ
I haven't seen the latest update on the overwhelming show of support, for victims of katrina, from nations around the globe...Does anyone have the latest updated list?...LJ
mick, the company that EZ is up-dating you on tonight confirms the posts about it that I mentioned last week...Don't even compare well to dirt...LJ
The awsome evacuation of millions of people from the New Orleans area prior to the arrival of katrina has been overlooked...Getting so many people to believe enough in their forsight and sit in bumper to bumper traffic at 5 to 20 mph speeds to leave in a mass exit should not be underestimated or forgotten while the results of the tradegy of katrina linger...LJ
that SODI has been a low volume pos this week...LJ
CB, you don't have to brag about your deals here...lol...LJ
mick, gasoline shortages now being reported on an intermittent basis in the gulf coast states...Gonna find out if folks can still spend time with their teenage children now, for sure...LJ
Exxon has refineries for gasoline in Baton Rouge...Hopefully they took less of a hit than other areas to the East...LJ
Actually there are many who are better qualified...LJ
mick, are U swinging a new set of keys?...LJ
There is no way to beat wiggles at the quiet game...Anybody know his secret?...LJ
Railroad tonnage traffic, trucking shipment traffic, and ship tonnage traffic...Anyone seen any estimates yet on either of these groups and the amount of lost shipping due to the katrina disruptions?...Those idle aren't burning fuel for the moment...LJ
Wal-Mart...WMT...$45.19...closed near the 52 week low of the year...reported to have 123 locations closed due to katrina disruptions...they showed having 3703 total retail and wholesale locations on 02-28-05 based on their yahoo profile page...roughly 3.3% closed based on those figures...One would expect many locations to be re-opened asap...A lot of regular customers may even be parked in some of their parking lots waiting on the re-openings if they expect them within a day or two...It is estimated that Wal-Mart retails close to 80% of imports from China based on one article that I have read...a pretty fair sized trimming of China exports for an unknown time frame...Share price is well below 52 week high of $57.89...Wonder how much gas normally consumed by company vehicles, company employees going back and forth to work, and customers going back and forth to shop is not being used because of 123 locations closed for one day?...LJ
teapee, that is a very good illustrated map that you posted...Very good info for right now...LJ
teapee, that is a very good illustrated map that you posted...Very good info for right now...LJ
mick, the umbrella bit from that cramer dude on Monday evening didn't sit well with me...Actually waited a day to make a comment about it...And it was the first time that I have watched his lightning round that folks have been jibber-jabbering so much about...Not for me...LJ
mick, I'm still not doing any oil thingies at the present time...Of course, I've been associated with silly principles in the past...LJ
