Credit Crisis in Brazil: Consumer Loan Rates Hit 47%, Defaults Soar, Debt Service Tops 50% of Disposable Income.

Let's hope they don't pull a stunt like BLTI, which got included in the Russell 2000, and proceeded to do a private placement.
A fifteen year old Amish boy and his father were in a mall. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and then slide back together again.
The boy asked, 'What is this Father?'
The father (never having seen an elevator) responded, 'Son, I have never seen anything like this in my life, I don't know what it is.'
While the boy and his father were watching with amazement, a fat old lady in a wheel chair moved up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened, and the lady rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small numbers above the walls light up sequentially.
They continued to watch until it reached the last number… and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order.
Finally the walls opened up again and a gorgeous 24-year-old blond stepped out.
The father, not taking his eyes off the young woman, said quietly to his son.....
'Go get your Mother'
Claims made would seem to make it better than P2O.

Will be interesting to see if May $335's get taken out.
This bank is starting to piss me off with it's nickle and dime fees !!
I wonder if they realize, that the more customers they lose, the closer they are to going belly-up !
An Italian goes to a Jew to buy ‘black bras’ - size 38.
The Jew, known for his skills as businessman, says that black bras are rare and that he is finding it very difficult to buy them from his suppliers. Therefore he has to charge $50.00 for them.
The Italian buys 25 pairs.
He returns a few days later and this time orders 50.
The Jew tells him that they have become even harder to get and charges him $60.00 each.
The Italian returns a month later and buys the Jew's remaining stock
of 50, and this time for $75.00 each.
The Jew is somewhat puzzled by the large demand for black bras and
asks the Italian, please tell me: What do you with all these Black
Bras?
The Italian answers: 'I cut them in half and sell the halves as ‘skull caps’ to the Jews for $100.00 each.
How do you like today's activity, with options expiration? What blatant manipulation!
Can't seem to jump the $135.00 hurdle.

Thank goodness this pos is only 2.48% of my portfolio.
San Francisco red light camera is $466.00 plus $52.00 to attend traffic school to remove the point against you, plus $20.00 for traffic school, plus postage for both $7.58, total cost $545.58
While they are laughing all the way to the bank, I have vowed to NEVER again spend a cent in San Francisco.
Thanks for posting about dufus Crane. SBAY will probably tank, good thing they already hired one of the big 4.
SBAY from today's NT 10-Q
Subaye, Inc. (the "Company") was unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the "Form 10-Q") for the period ended December 31, 2010 within the prescribed time period due to delays in completing their accounting records. Due to ongoing closing procedures, insufficient availability of accounting and administrative staff and the Chinese New Year holidays, the Company was unable to gather all the information and complete the analysis required for the Form 10-Q. The Company will file the Form 10-Q as soon as practicable.
I would think that completing accounting records would fall under the CFO's responsibilities - oh that's dufus Crane. Seems like for all the time he has been in China, the news that they have New Year Holidays every year has not yet got to him! Can we sue that guy ?
It would not surprise me to learn one day, that ANALysts get together to cook their predictions, so that favored parties can get the opportunity to buy at reduced prices, because of the indications of said analysts. Here is one of the most disgusting pieces I have ever read. I wonder if the practices are still being done ?

According to Yahoo "Major Holders", Black Rock as of Sept 30, 2010 had 4.11% i.e. 6,539,728 shares, while todays' 13G filing for December 31, 2010 is 8.73% i.e. 13,888,681. Good to see a big name double their holding.
Trying to understand the current action - going lower on increasing volume - does that mean accommodation for some folks trying to get in before a spike up?
I have lost enthusiasm for this stock. I feel that it's SOUL has been broken. Another minor hit piece came out today, which was refuted within minutes by TheXangaTeam - perhaps they can tell us what will be next. Seems like the company is coasting on complacency - announces buy-back plan, but does not announce results, several commentators have commented on the website not being in line with a company of its' size, and now, an outside entity has to explain to us which entity in the corporate structure is responsible for the taxes - that is something that should have been in their letter.
Disclosue - long since January 3, $20 February calls @$0.55 - thanks bUrRpPPP.(Also bought on same day at same price, January $17.00 calls - you da man.)
Nice move today over $14 - a great report Wednesday could take this to $17 by option expiration this month.

I follow Bradford's Law - Do not lose. With options, I will sell up to 30% of the position, immediately it covers my original outlay.
According to Yahoo Earnings calendar they will announce after the closing bell on Wednesday 9th,while CSCO will announce after the close, presumably later than TQNT. Perhaps with a good report from TQNT, we can get a further nudge if CSCO is also good.
Some are too smart for their own good - a la Millberg Weiss

Question - why are there no hit pieces on SBAY ?
Answer - Because they already have an inside man doing the job.
The absence of any on-the-ground China research was most glaring. They did introduce a rather novel approach, if you want to find out about a stock, call the analyst, and as a professional courtesy, ignore calling the company !!
"It appears that CCME might be a darling for college kids and bloggers (retail), but the analysts know better." Seems like a direct dig at Glen Bradford.
Thanks for your post, I was looking to get some F calls, and this was a good pick, even if I had to go to $0.48
Are we back to a penny a month divy?
Wake me up when this POS hits $18.00
Bank failures are caused by depositors who don't deposit enough money to cover losses due to mismanagement.
It's the other way around 20,351 @ $20.282
Presidential dictator gone. This should be interesting to see how it affects the rest of the Arab world.
