Q: It's no surprise to me that Henderson is out at GM. But the question is - with
all the gov't restrictions and the stranglehold by the unions - can they get a
CEO who's good enough to turn this tanker around?

A: Here's an interesting opinion about the CEO change from James Kwak at Baseline Scenario:

http://baselinescenario.com/2009/12/02/never-a-good-sign/

Apparently the board wants a "world-class CEO" and didn't think that Fritz was
good enough. I agree with Kwak who in the article calls this attitude a
"delusion".

They will never find that super-CEO to make sweeping changes when their pay is restricted
and they can't take the necessary risks. That seems impossible, particuarly with Congress
and the unions as back-seat drivers. db more

Q: Jumping in at AMZN. For some reason in last 6 months i use the Amazon site for
just about everything, its so convenient and the prices are really low, even
from the third parties, so i may get on the bandwagon and BUY Buy Buy. . . even
this late. The web site design is so superior to any other site. Maybe others
notice it too.

A: Maybe i'm just a foolish lemming, but i'm ready to get in on AMZN too. It's the
quintessential Christmas spirit stock. So it should lead any Santa Claus rally we may get
this year. But since the share price is so high, and the momentum may not last much
longer, i plan to play it with options, which move much faster than the underlying stock.
I will use a 5% trailing stop. more

Q: Is RIMM a buy here,I see it has gone over the $60.50 mark?I am looking at the
$65 calls for Dec.?

A: Don't buy naked calls on a name like RIMM. I think the best strategy to play this name is
to buy some Jan vertical call spreads, which can fetch you some good sleep and not bother
you much about the time decay. Looks like you can take some risk, then you can also go for
Rimm Jan 55 calls, which I would prefer to go for. more

How much longer do you Stockpickrs think the metals rally will continue? What
are the
potential catalysts or barriers?
Asked by Stockpickr Staff #2 - 2 days ago - 1 answers - 45 views

A: Relatively minor reasons for the current gold rally are Chindia's accumulation of bullion,
anticipation of eventual inflation, and looming geopolitical events.
But the obvious immediate-term catalysts are the lower dollar (caused by the Bernanke put
and fiscal debt), and simple momentum.
The Bernanke put is likely to continue for many months or a few years, supporting gold's
uptrend. Whenever the Bernanke put is removed, it will *initially* spark a drop in gold as
the dollar rebounds. But the inverse gold/dollar correlation would evaporate if interest
rates go up significantly. Higher interest rates put much more upward pressure on gold
prices than lower dollars. more

wondering if anyone feels anything has changed.
