Q: Hello David.
I think it was last week that I asked you about DRYS after its third share
offering which hurt the stock price.
Since then the trend has accelerated and so many companies have done this.
Obviously anything GS does is perceived as all good and it's gotten past the dip
on its announced offering.
Lots of less solid small-cap companies however do not have that power.
What do you think, suggest and what's it all about.
Thank you.

reasons that i'm glad jimbo suggested that you don't fall in love with your stocks. :) more

Q: I woke up planning to buy DRYS ... and I do want it ... a little uncomfortable
that the shippers are slipping off their premarket highs.
It feels like a precarious Friday. My BAC sell hit at 10.82 and I rushed to try
to stop it only to see that was a good things - C, BAC down.
Hmmmmmm. This is not easy around here.

A: Stock is rip-roaring on the upgrade and now that the offering has passed.

Agree that it may be best to wait for a small pullback first. more

Q: New Question: Just a repost left for Sooz in response to a rather impolite post
of hers:

CallaLilly actually.
Actually someone mentioned this post and I do have fond thoughts for some of the
people
here.
The ones that have been unfailingly kind, helpful and often humorous.

I've developed little tolerance for Mean People who poke and pick at certain
people,
giggle and retreat before one more round.

These digs are more suitable to middle school girls, not grown women. I've
enjoyed our
posts from time to time but not in a while, frankly.

It bothers me to see anyone embarrassed and you have left nasty remarks and
posts and
intruded into other people's lives. Not my style, not a bit.

It's seemingly a happy place for SkeeDaddy and Pi - Pi to whom I mailed 200. for
a laptop
and yet seems to have many trades. Quite a conundrum.

Mighty fine days are made with kindness, not middle aged menopausal digs.

Kathy is a lovely lady, beyond lovely.

How curious that you remember stocks that I have mentioned or reviewed.

I simply remember the nicer people here and miss them.

A: 7 reasons to be bullish right now.

- Oil prices have dropped in half. People will now be able to pay their subprime loans
back. Banks will have to start writing up the subprime debt that caused this whole mess.
- Stock prices have dropped to 2002 levels. Big difference between now and 2002: China,
one of our biggest customers, is three times the size.
- People are comparing this time to the Great Depression. This couldn’t be further from
the truth. In the Great Depression the government, in their infinite wisdom, raised taxes
and increased interest rates. In other words, they continued to deflate the economy during
the downturn. They literally took money out of the economy. Without money, people
couldn’t start businesses, banks failed, people lost jobs, people went hungry, and so
on. Why did the government do this? They were afraid of putting too much stimulus in the
system as people would then get into a speculative frenzy like 1929. This time the
government is doing the exact opposite. Rather than deflating they are reflating and
we’ll all have to worry about any speculative excesses that occur only after the economy
is back on track.
- Right now its estimated that the government is not just putting $700bb into the system
as per the bailout package passed by Congress but they are actually putting $2.25 trillion
into the system when you add in the AIG bailout, Bear Stearns, the commercial paper
facility, etc. Additionally the government has already cut rates once and will probably do
so again. This $2.25 trillion does not equal $2.25 trillion in benefits to the economy. It
equals $10-20 trillion. Every dollar that goes into the banking system, will then get lent
out to someone, who will then use that dollar to buy goods from someone, who will then use
that dollar to hire people, and so on. Its estimated that there is a 10x multiplier for
every dollar put by the government into the banking system. I’m discounting that a
little to be conservative. $20 trillion is so much stimulus that is coming into the
economy I’m not even sure we can handle it without breaking into another pattern of
hyper-speculation but hopefully we will have learned from our mistakes. But one thing is
for sure, with so much stimulus it will be pretty much impossible to go into a Depression.

- “Don’t Fight The Fed” is a saying that is used to justify buying the stock market
once the Fed starts stimulating. Well, why is the economic news still bad and people still
selling the market? Any stimulus takes 6-18 months to have its effect on the economy,., In
January, 2001 the Fed started decreasing rates and we probably didn’t have a full
recovery until 2002 and people didn’t fully see the recovery (as exemplified in good
economic reports) until 2003. Whenever a recovery will occur, the market will anticipate
it about 3-6 months in advance. The one thing that makes this situation different is the
shear amount of stimulus being put into the system. Every central banker in the world
wants the US stock market to go up. Don’t Fight The World Fed.
- Don’t underestimate the effect hedge fund liquidations are having. The 100 hedge funds
in the world – representing several trillion in equity buying when you take into account
their leverage, are in some form of liquidation. These guys are crushing the stock market,
leaving solid companies trading for 1-3 times earnings in some cases. Once banks open up
their lending coffers again, private equity firms will be swooping down and buying these
companies, creating a private equity (and hence, stock market) boom.
- There are $11 trillion in cash sitting in money market funds and T-bills. Throw in the
extra $20 trillion that is going to stimulate the economy. This money needs to grow and in
a zero interest rate environment there is only one place: the stock market. more

Q: Dan,
I am thinking of buying FCX in the $38 to $35 range on the recent decline in
price. However, FCX has an OBV that is declining. I am thinking that one should
not pull the trigger of FCX or any other stock until the OBV starts to turn
positive? What do you think?
