Opinion & Analysis

ready to trace back up now to 90 (true value) about WFT 09/01/08
Instead of just trading Chevron or Mobil, go with Oil production/services stocks. They weather the weather better.

another double bottom hitter about SNDK 09/01/08
Sandisk will be bought out this year. Plenty of products. Poor PR and management is ready to vacate. (see insider selling info). I own 300 shares now.

good for short term play now about GENZ 09/01/08
Genzyme General Division wants to test 100 by December. It is effectively in a "election proof" sector, including BIIB (Biogen Pharm).

The future's so bright we've got to wear panels! about SOLR 09/01/08
GT Solar should catch up with LDK price by January. Its resilience has already been tested since IPO. Once it closes above 16 the institutions will climb on and eradicate the float. Bet the Ranch

Boomer play doesn't get old and grey about UNH 09/01/08
On its way up from solid base check. Should touch 50 again by late January 2009.

Re: RICHARD FREEMAN since 1983 09/19/08
Since October 2007 I have been sliding down some craggy mountain ravines. At a four year low today. LEH stock went from $80 to nil in two years. Any comments are welcome....

Anyone else put their money to work with Richie five years ago?

Re: Bullish on UNH ... 09/19/08
If markets close up on big volume Friday..... that would be nice. Check out the performance of SHRAX. I've been in with Richie Freeman since Sept 12, 2003. Ouch this year.

Re: another double bottom hitter 09/06/08
Today Samsung announced interest in SanDisk, facilitating a gap up 30%.

Samsung's sticky fingers 09/06/08
If you check my initial take on Sandisk just three days ago, you will see why I am smiling now.

STRONG BUY - NEW ISSUE 09/01/08
The entire green energy sector is the new dot-com for 2009-2010. Realistic gains of 1000% can be had with these new issues.
