8/15/10 Tell Me Why



David-

Why, why, why would you bet half of your IRA (not to mention all of your kids' college fund[s]) on a single stock? Wait, make that a single sub-$5 stock?

Let me paraphrase your own Hussman quote:

'Writing [each of the above] sentences only once is woefully inadequate. If I had my way, investors would have to write them over and over five days a week. [Day traders of Russian heritage who reside in Silicon Valley] would have to write them a hundred times a day, immediately upon [logging on to this blog].'

  1. SD does not seem to be a good play in the NG field, even at the low price. Their production is from older, conventional reservoirs which have been overtaken by shale producers. The latter are forced to produce while the well is young lest it loses it's zest. Just my opinion upon reading the lit, not the tea leaves.

  6. not TA/charts, using qualitative factors like analyst sentiment, and quantitative like cash flow.

    we had the grandkids over yesterday so I can relate to the need for rest!
