Q: Listen Up, IMHO:
Hang Seng goes from a close of 22,611.80 on 11/25/09 to a low of 21,002.49
today. 7% drop
Nikkei goes from a close of 9,441.64 on 11/25/09 to a low of 9,076.41 today. 4%
drop
FTSE goes from a close of 5,364.80 on 11/25/09 to a low of 5,103.78 today 5%
drop, and then rebounds.
And the list goes on.
So why get whacked? If we're down modestly, say -2%, fold with a bummer rather
than to do THAT HOPE-Y THANG. In the early going I plan to take my longs off.
The risk reward just isn’t there. I'll wait to buy back another day when the
board is just dripping, oozing greed. Just think of the change we'll make when
the Dubai thing causes undervaluation.

Q: Any thoughts on going long just soft commodities for the next year? Iam really
thinking of it, I been wanting to take a break from the high stressed job of
following the markets and the governments. I figure softs don't have that much
downside on any giving month or year over year compared to stocks and hard
commodities. There still are many Stocks ,Miners, and futures I like Including
alum, silver and steel futures. But in order to relax some maybe take a long
vacation, also give my hair time grow back from the past few years. I feal
soft's have to go up in future, there not as manipulated as everything else is
by government's, and if Obama some how taxes cow (farts) emmissions wouldn't it
just make the price go up more. Just a thought. I do like:
Corn,Soy,Wheat,Sugar,Coffee,Cocoa,Cattle,Fruits,Veggies Etc.. There just
essentials For the next 1 year, 5 years, 10 years to 100 years.

A: I agree with your thesis.. But we are not in such kind of scenario yet. well it all
depends on the kind of we can get for the next one to two years. If you think that the
economy is gonna rebound strong and we have a high inflationary scenario in the next 2,3
years then you can go long, because the soft commodities tend to rally slow.. Initially
gold, then oil, silver.. then comes the rest.. gold has lots of reasons to rally now..

If we have an inflationary scenario or if the US govt policy fails, out of fear and many
other reasons.

so bottom line, these soft commodities tend to rally only when you see a real inflationary
scenario and timing is a very key factor. I would go long on these for example when
unemployment figures cool down.. I think its a bit early to get into these soft
commodities.. more

Q: I'm just learning about options. When I look at the LUFK Dec 35 call, it is
listed at 6.80. However, the Dec 40 and 45 calls are listed at 21.90 and 18.60
respectively. Why would the Dec 35 call be priced so much lower than the 40 and
45? It is deeper in the money, so shouldn't it be more expensive? I would
think that the deeper in-the-money the call is, the more expensive it should be.
What am I missing here? Or, is this just a good oportunity to get in?

A: I read where BAC, C, JPM have exposure to Dubai debit situation (see cnbc.com website for
brief). My question, how long will it take it to unwind/ripple, e.g. one swooping hit or
something else. Some banks (see articles) claim that writeoff amounts already included
and/or don't effect forecast. I suppose that it depends on the bank/institution. more

Q: I recall a site that displayed Cramer's stock picks on Mad Money and the
variance from the price point at the time of his recommendation. It both
measure his performance and gave us a reference into where he recommended it so
I do not have to track the history of his recommendations myself. I checked
madmoney @ cnbc, The Street, and Stockpickr....I can't seem to find it. Maybe
it was removed. Does anyone know where this is or was located ?

Q: Repost from yesterday:

Just for fun: Which of you Stockpickrs have the most creative idea for how to
invest (long or short) for a strong Thanksgiving holiday? For example: You might
expect a lot of spices (pumpkin pie spice for instance) to be sold this week so
you would be long MKC. So throw out your best and most creative ideas, we will
feature a Thanksgiving Day Portfolio with the best responses as one of the
Spotlight Portfolios.

In your post include: 1. The company 2. If you are long or short? 3. Your
reasoning.

So far drummerboy has the best ideas with GIS and DMND.
