A: First, I would have to reconciled between reported EPS and pro-forma EPS. If the pro-forma
is positive and is a more reliable indication of the company's operations then I would use
pro-forma results. If both pro-forma and GAAP EPS are both negative, then I would likely
avoid the stock unless there is reason to believe that future earnings are likely to
materialize. more

thats going to be a big topic in 2010.also i don't see the current surge in
bonds as a flight to safety as the dollar remains near the lows.

A: Well, if Dubai is just one of many cockroaches, the risk trade could stall. That'd mean a
rush to buy US dollars and US bonds, and a rush to sell commodities and equities. I doubt
that Dubai will snowball, but the possibility of such a contagion may explain why Treasury
prices have rallied/yields dropped so much since Wednesday. With or without Dubai et al, i
thinks it's still to early for a significant rally in TBT et al. more

Q: This might be the most laughable headline yet. Crude oil is up because of
pirates? They're stealing millions of barrels of excess crude?

Exhibit A in the need for reguulation by the CTFC.

Crude Oil Above $76 After Dubai, Pirates

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Crude oil futures turned positive on Monday after
spending Friday pressured by economic uncertainty surrounding the Dubai debt
crisis.

WoesWhere Commodities Are Headed Next Market Activity United States Oil Fund|
USO UPExxon Mobil Corporation| XOM DOWNChevron Corporation| CVX DOWNThe January
delivery contract for light, sweet crude was recently rising 22 cents at $76.27
a barrel, though the contract was paring back on recent gains.
Crude oil futures took a hit Friday, as traders came back from the Thanksgiving
holiday and reacted to Wednesday's news that a state-controlled investment
entity known as Dubai World requested a six-month "standstill" on repaying some
$60 billion in debt. Effects rippled throughout the global markets, with U.S.
equities and commodities closing lower during Friday's shortened session. The
January crude oil contract slumped $1.91 at $76.05 a barrel to end the week.

But recent assurances that the United Arab Emirates' central bank would offer
more liquidity to Dubai banks helped ease some concerns Monday morning. Still, a
bit of uncertainty remains after reports made clear that the Dubai government
would not guarantee Dubai World's debts.

But a weakening dollar also helped prop up crude futures, as the Dollar Index
recently declined 0.1% in the morning.

Oil market watchers were also eyeing news from East Africa, where Somali pirates
reportedly seized a Greek-owned oil tanker.

Oil-related equities were mixed, as the NYSE Arca Oil Index and the Philadelphia
Oil Service Index dipped 1% and rose 0.4%, respectively. Exxon Mobil(XOM Quote)
slid just 2 cents to $74.85, as Chevron(CVX Quote) shed 21 cents, or 0.3%, at
$77.96.

The United States Oil Fund(USO Quote) ETF was adding 22 cents, or 0.6%, at $38.

A: Scott's a pro. I'm just an amateur. So you might want to pay more attention to his answer.
But, fwiw, i think this may be the first step in GS unwinding its risk trade. If GS takes
other risk trade components off of its list, such as energy and emerging markets, that
signals that they think the whole risk trade is getting long in the tooth. But i wouldn't
bank on that idea unless/until i see that next GS shoe drop. more

Q: Cramer highlights AMZN as having a PE of 40. I see it's forward PE at 52. Does
anyone know why the discrepancy ? He also notes that EBAY is at 15 which is
exactly the forward PE so I am not sure why the AMZN number is off.

A: Current Wall Street consensus estimates have AMZN earning $2.53 in 2010. This is yields a
PE of 52. However, Jim Cramer may himself have modeled up higher EPS for 2010 which
equates to his lower PE. more

A: while i dont know about the perfection of the formation (ideal set up to me would be the
right part of the cup comes up to the exact resistance level of the left side) i do think
it can make a move here. i dont know which way, in the same way i dont know its a good
stock, but it has consolidated enough to make a move. more

Q: Cramer touted NAT as paying out an average yield of 15.1% per year for the last
eleven years in his latest book, "How to Get Even". Where is he coming from
with this stock which currently yields only little over 1% ? What am I missing.

A: NAT announced on Nov 9 that it was cutting its quarterly dividend from 50 cents in the 2nd

say it is quite variable. more
