Q: The annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology is coming up Dec. 5-8
in New Orleans. There are usually research papers presented at this meeting that
can significantly move healthcare stocks.

Are there any healthcare or biotech stocks that you think we should add to (or
remove from) our portfolios going into this meeting?

Q: New Question: There's some graphs here at Econbrowser that do a pretty good job
at portraying multi-year auto sales information by month.

http://www.econbrowser.com/archives/2009/12/anemic_recovery.html

The questions I have is, where do you think a "sustainable" level of US auto
sales is, say in the next 5 years? Can we get back to at least 12 million
vehicles per year or is this too high?

Q: The VIX is down again today and I'm wondering if it can break 20 ... and stay
there. In the past, it's been a good bet to go short when it gets too low.

A: Since the VIX is so short-term oriented, it's best not to make long-term predictions about
its price action. It's like driving a car at 60 mph: you should look about 6 car links
ahead, but no farther ahead than that. i'd guess the VIX goes lower Thursday, as the major
averages have a bit of a relief rally on the BAC news. But for VIX to *sustain* these
"low" levels, the Snp has to reach that 50% retracement level of about 1120 to
1125, imho. more

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 - 49 views
Bookmark this User - Bookmark this question - Report Abuse
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
