    Hello to ya

    J Cramer was all over LSI---Positive!
    see cut and paste:LSI Corporation (LSI): "People don't understand it...it keeps getting better and better. That was a great quarter...that was on fire. LSI should be bought."

    Correction please, not AGI, but AIG

    AIG was Cramers top suggestion for the year
    He was oh so convincing in his analysis, Including Gov't over hang and Sundays shelf offering:

    Cramer said there was one this weekend, when a last-minute deal to offer a $5 billion secondary for AIG (AIG_) priced at $30.50 a share, only to close at $31.84 and instantly make money for shareholders.

  4. Hey Saleem,

    Kudos to Up on his skepticism--cash has been king!

    Attempting to weather the storm...

    I still (foolishly?) think we can resolve these European situations without massive collapse, which would make stocks attractive here in my opinion.

  5. Hi Stocktrader,

    Today is a "flushout"...which will clear the way for an uptrend.

    European problems are not going away anytime soon.

    YES Up had it right.

    on Slow Money
    stated that they thought a wooooosh was occurring
    Possible for today--Is there volume-that is the tell

    My REITS are hot today, TWO, IVR, NLY PETDX

    My oils and gassers are crushed!

    Nat and My SFL are mean and green--but BDI has not been real cooperative either?
    Europe will be over when Germany either stops the support or floods the euro with money--I am not sure that they will--While stationed in Germany, I always felt that Germany was for Germans first and always! They like Americans money, but not us so much!
    Dunno if I am correct but maybe :)
    Just my .02 cents!!!!!!!

    Market is not friendly to us long. And seeing my account turn red everyday this week. Should had listen to myself by not holding anything, guess it is a little late now. I am buying some AMZN and AAPL calls for the bounce since they are the leader right now

    When I buy options, I always buy few months before it expire, so if anything went wrong, I still have some time to weather it out. Just play it light right now since greed is gone from traders mind and fear is replacing it.
