Opinion & Analysis

Did I say junk in a year?? about SBUX 10/22/08
I would like to say officially that this stock is junk right now and still overpriced. Think about how many times you read or hear people say, "I don't go to Starbucks anymore." ...

Starbucks well on the way to ruin about SBUX 10/16/08
With increasing unemployment and rising inflation, not only did Starbucks overpay for their land leases, but they are also ran like a big pharma company. This means more micro management and less...

Updated Dollar strengthening in short term about GLD 10/05/08
So I will sell this now and buy back around $650.

Just for a short while about ABX 10/05/08
As the dollar rises I'll sell. Then buy back in shortly.

Ben Stein Likes this one about ESS 10/05/08
And I do not.

Re: Bearish on SBUX ... 10/27/08
I have to agree with your call on SBUX. I'm glad to see someone else out there that hopes to make a profit off of their demise. I find it strange that anyone would think that retail anything has much of a chance these days. When the unemployment numbers come out on November 7th we should see a healthy slide backwards in anything that is not a necessity. The DOW will be in the 6k range by la...

Re: At 7,500 we find out if there is a bottom 10/24/08
The market will continue to fall big with short shallow rallies....rinse and repeat. Until the bad news stops then we should expect high volatility and deflation. I'm not going to try and guess the bottom because there is not really a reliable quantifiable method to add the many variables we will be dealing with in regards to the economy such as: future unemployment numbers, government interj...

Re: TIF - all that glitters isn't gold 10/08/08
You sir are a genius!

Re: Bearish on GG ... 10/08/08
When gold makes the move over $1000 the dollar will weaken and inflation will push gold over $1300 and if that happens I would say this is a cheap stock for now.

Re: I think GE is good. 10/08/08
In the short run all stocks are volatile at this point. But if you have some time GE is as solid as anything out there right now.

Re: The Rush to Gold. Coming or gone? 10/05/08
Something to consider when looking at buying into gold is that when the dollar is strong gold goes down as well as other commodities. But when we are in recessionary times energy goes down as well as commodities that are used in manufacturing like copper. So if you put your money in treasury bills while the credit markets remain tight and while the market continues to fall, then you can buy g...

Re: This stock will be junk in a year 09/24/08
I understand why some would think that people that have their coffee at Starbucks everyday will not just stop going. I have seen this happen with Starbucks this summer in a very big way. Starbucks has gone into markets that they are not going to thrive in during times of higher unemployment and higher gas prices. The first thing to go for a middle class consumer is a luxury that they can pro...

Re: Bullish on BAC ... 09/18/08
As long as we have the need for banks and BAC is the last big one standing and with the purchase of ML I believe they are going to be strong. BAC is a smart company and they haven't fallen into the same traps as the other out there. GOOOOOOOO BAC! I'll hold this one for some time.
