Hi Troy,

Even one person has lot of power..if they act..not just talk.

I had corrected Market cap & many ratios on GRRF by emailing Yahoo finance.

Never underestimate the fighting spirit of even one individual.

Hi Minaccess,

Sorry missed your thrust of your question.

Saleem

Stocks100 said...

Hi Minaccess,

They are short Dow jones oil & gas index...50% is stocks...other 50% derivatives against Oil & gas index.

That is exact definition I found in MSN & Yahoo finance....

SALEEM todays hot stuff news:

w Liquidity Lifeline

In a coordinated effort with other major central banks, the Fed will offer $200 bil in Treasuries, accepting mortgage-backed securities as collateral. It'll accept only top-rated mortgage debt, but even that market has seized up in recent days. Policymakers are hoping the move will spur financial firms to lend more, but past actions have not restored market health. More

Central Bank Move Fuels Stocks

The Fed's move to pump more liquidity into the market sparked a surge in the indexes. The Dow rose 3.5%, the S&P 500 3.7% and the Nasdaq 4%. Banks were the biggest winners, but there were widespread gains. HMOs tumbled on WellPoint's warning. The 10-year Treasury yield rose 15 basis points to 3.60%. More

Trade Gap Widens On Oil Prices

The U.S. trade deficit rose to $58.2 bil in Jan. from $57.9 bil as imported crude oil prices hit a record. But the gain was less than expected, as exports rose 1.6% vs. Dec. and 16.6% vs. a year before. The nonoil trade gap fell to its lowest in nearly 5 years due to the weak dollar and economy and stronger overseas growth. More

As Miss. Votes, Dems Trade Jabs

Hillary Clinton argued Barack Obama has promised more than he's delivered, while Obama accused his rival for the Democratic presidential nomination of negative campaigning. Obama was seen winning the primary in Miss., where blacks dominate among Dem voters. With the close delegate count, the race could last until the Aug. party convention. The next big vote: April 22 in Pa.

Google's DoubleClick Bid OK'd

EU antitrust regulators cleared the Internet search and ad king's bid for the online ad management firm, removing the last hurdle for the $3.1 bil deal. Privacy advocates and Google (GOOG) rivals Microsoft (MSFT) and Yahoo (YHOO) had blasted the deal. A separate probe by privacy regulators on search engines' privacy policies is due to wrap up by April. Google shares rose 6%. More

Dollar Flies Vs. Most Currencies

With Fed action restoring confidence in the greenback, the dollar rose from an 8-year low vs. the yen to close up 1.68 yen to 103.43. The euro ended off a scant 0.10 cent to $1.5335, but not before first touching a new high of $1.5495. The dollar surged from record lows vs. the Swiss franc. But the Aus-sie and New Zealand currencies jumped, as soaring grain prices meant more export cash.

Pressure Builds On Spitzer To Go

N.Y. Republicans vowed to impeach Gov. Eliot Spitzer if he doesn't quit after the Democrat was identified as a high-priced call girl ring's client. The ex-state att'y gen'l, known for his cases vs. Wall St., found some longtime allies calling for his exit. Spitzer said nothing as of late Tue. It isn't clear if he'll face charges. The case began when banks reported suspicious cash transfers to the IRS.

24 Killed In Pakistan Bombings

Huge suicide bombs ripped through a police HQ and a business in the eastern city of Lahore, killing at least 24 people and wounding more than 200 others in attacks that deepened Pakistan's security crisis. The 2 blasts happened 15 minutes apart. At least 7 suicide attacks have occurred since Feb. 18 parliamentary elections.

Consumer Pessimism Deepens

The IBD/TIPP Economic Optimism Index fell 2 points in March to 42.5, the worst showing in the index's 7-year history outside of Sept.-Oct., just after Hurricane Katrina. Readings below 50 signal pessimism. Job losses, housing and stock market woes, and soaring gasoline costs are all weighing on consumers. Confidence in federal economic policies hit a new low.

Buckle Up On Same-Store Sales

The fashion retailer's Q4 EPS rose 29% to 94 cents a share, beating views by 9 cents. Same-store sales shot up 18.7%. Total sales rose 18% to $207 mil, in line with views. After-tax margin rose to 14%, the best in at least 3 years. Buckle (BKE) has expanded beyond its core teen customer to shoppers in their 30s and 40s. More
