AMSC Swing Hi.. Swing Low...

this is a reminder to look at the tremendous swings to the downside experienced just recently following pops - +plus+ the fact that earnings are not yet actually positive...

I am very cautious on AMSC since I don''t know how fast they will build an order backlog which has proven profit reserves...

I love this stock --> smaller electric ship motor/generator components to windmill and power plant +plus+ electrical transmission components...

what a power play in todays world when the US Navy probably wants to go electric everywhere they can...and everyone knows the wind-power story by now..cheapest alternative to natural gas..profitable right away..etc...

do not forget how recently this was had for 17-19 ... so expecting 24.xx - 27.xx seems not so highly unlikely -- hold tight sit back and hope no news comes in for while...another pop in this stockorn popper may be on its way...

Sometimes FROng is AllSo Right...

Pop Goes the SuperMill...

AMSC --> this company has so many exciting things bubbling from the R&D pots...ready to go beyond the mere spillings and sloshings into commercialization cities all around...to full blown serv-it-up platters of viable technology meals - full course meals of various exotic styles

I wouldn't know where to start to guess as to which things are actually happening - suffice it say - things are happening ...

the stock +plus+ its activities in the news are like popcorn kernels settling and bouncing around in a shaky market pot of hot oily greeds frustrations & fears...

when the heat(market) and kernel[news(corn syrup)+equity(shell)] have appropriate trajectoral alignment (ie the kernel is beneath the oil where it's hot enough and for a long enough time to pop on news energy), then the stockorn can pop out of the market's oily grip and fly off in some direction - often ricocheting off adjacent near-concurrent micro/macro news force events -- ex AMSC had popped this morning after brimming to the surface of it's oil bowl for weeks which is ~27is - the news was hot and popped the kernel up up and away to 31ish ... on its way down however it ricocheted off an adjacent broad macro-market force event - ==ie general market positive sentiment with frenzied end of day buying -- an eod rally that ricocheted AMSC to over 32.14 on the close --> therefore... possibly into another oil pot with a higher heat source...although possible not .. and could settle back, however unlike real popcorn, stockorn could encounter another pop ... I hope the following series of price projectures is rapidly taken out to create buying opportunities under 27.37 soon...

AMSC 32.77 ~ 31.87 ~ 30.97 ~ 30.07 ~ 29.17 ~28.27 ~ 27.37| ~ 26.47 ~ 25.57 ~ 24.67|

I would love to get trades on again'n 3rds below 27.37

this stock is ratcheting up though and these may need to be taken in the new pot so to speak -- well above 27.37--> we may surely near to skim the surface of the old pot at least once again...even if it is going higher right away...

if super strong conditions hold this up one strategy is to buy 25% at each of the following price points:
31.87 ~ 30.97 ~ 30.07 ~ 29.17
only make sure this represents less than half your desired position so that if it goes below 27ish - over-doubling down can more than make up for the cost of money you've at that point bought yourself into spending over time while waiting but not earning elsewhere from this same basis...

Let Me Refraze

"
BOOM ~|101.57 ~ 113.99|* - this stock has a strong likely hood of rapidly hitting 53

*pattern and score seems whacked
"

I did note the score and pattern looked whacked - face it - the chart looked droopy too and 101 - 113.99 -> still exclaim the score looks whacked and the pattern looks droopy - i rate this stock popcorn and you should use sparingly...together with a proper diet of healthy stocks...

or splatting down to 35...which is what happened today -->

in the longer of the run.. BOOM's financial capacities may be able to continue to match demand even in rising commodity-cost environments...buying fertilizer for explosions, gas for welding, and of course steel and such raw materials etc is no cheap venture.

So with higher explosive materials, fuel, and steel costs the larger sales revenues are actually inflated in relation to the net income...offset by pass-through charges for higher steel prices and certainly flat out losses due to higher fuel and explosive materials costs....

perhaps BOOM has a maximum financing capacity and recent extreme costliness of executing ventures has slowed their pace to limit output while concurrently raising sales prices and shrinking profits...If this is the case - banks and financiers might fix this problem by the end of next quarter or so and then eventually back to BOOMsness it could be...maybe BOOM needs more physical plant capacity together with greater in-demand product diversities either through intrinsic or gobbly innovation --> all solutions will need capitalization followed by successful expansion in order to effectuate growth...



some new small exposures here may be appropriate for possible heroic gains again...

was down to 50 shares exposure but tripled that yesterday on the bad news...

This is a Long Term Hold and has potential for walloping gains over time...however, right now there is a possibility for a bounce..or heaven forbid, another waterfall down to 30ish...either way 39 to 44 is likely in the cards for this in the near term for at least a short duration and the long term still sees 53 easy...if BOOM can figure out how to adjust their activities to produce profit by-products....

FROeelin Wrong...?

It's actually as simple as:
1. refineries put off purchasing oil since they sometimes experience backwardation...=the cost of their material is higher than its derivitives...

2. refinery stockpiles run low and they need replenishment...

3. refineries hire tankers to replenish the dwindling supplies...

4. refineries raise prices and bank cash

5. start again at step 1

by the way - shippers are slowing their vessels to conserve fuel - so maybe my buoyancy compensation plan is a good idea - everyone grow a FRO, cut it, and throw it in the sea to help the ships glide along...

Wednesday, April 23, 2008

I've got a FROeelin..

a freelin that's probly wrong ... oh yeah

*** 05/09/2008 *** and was in a twisterd kinda waze...

I may have cut my FRO and tossed it to the sea so the FROships could sail faster, but I certainly don't think my hairstyle buoyancy compensation plan is responsible for the FRally in FRO as of late. I do have a ridiculous idea or 2 as to why I think this BOOM in Oil prices may have an unexpected affect on FRO...normally - high oil cost = low demand = tanker bad....tanker stock down..:(

but perhaps at some optimum rate of oil cost the table turns due to the related rate of insurance premiums. So as insurance premiums go through the roof raising tanker day rates, but not profit margins - everybody loses right...?

wrong...!

Frontline tanker with the largest fleet of VLCC's dans le monde may have leveraging power to lower many operating costs on a per ship basis, and some that are particularly peculiar now that oil is 80 to 125 a barrel. Savings on the cost of insurance and crewing operations is where larger scale shipping companies may have financial advantages compared to smaller competitors who cannot spread out their risk portfolios to satisfy underwriters or dockside logistical suppliers and service providers when negotiating insurance rates or operational port facility rates respectively. Competitors actual rates to customers are raised across the board to accommodate for rising industry rates for common services like insurance etc...

The margin breaks at some point and extra profit FRO has from this difference allows them to experience significantly higher margins than smaller competitors...

***05/09/2008 --> Unreliable Fact-Checking Update *** HAHa...the irony here is delightful - the above theory turned out to seemingly to be quite humorously twisted... - turns out FRO's smaller competitors like NAT may be achieving the lowest overall per vessel running rates in the SuezMax industry at least... and by outsourcing the above mentioned hypothesized services....guess who a major outsourcing service provider is to NAT --> Frontline Tanker Ltd.! HAhA......So interestingly, FRO cannot achieve the lowest per ship rates but can leverage it's operations to provide OSsvcs enabling others to lower their rates...hmm--> i have a lot of ideas about this right now but before i start conjecturing....I'm going to go to Friday night... :)


or..

there's always the downside... if the price of oil goes down ... demand will go up and tankers will be even busier ...


every campaign of business pleasure or otherwise probably requires a standby oil reserve to garauntee smooth operations against a diverse set of contingencies... bla bla bla .... this is starting to sound like it belongs on blarchive.com

almost forgot - I said two ways... - as the price of the cargo goes up the overall shipping cost becomes less of a percentage of the total cost to buyers - so incremental tanker day rate increases may not be as big of a nuisance as they once were

in other words - I have no idea...but FRO goes up and FRO goes down...churning out dividends all year round..

Walking on the Wild Side Again...

IPI - Intrepid Potash

This is some hot sh*#...

had to get some - although I still think this is risky - I may pick up more if under 50

good luck if you like the frightening unknown to surprise you either way...

for those of you who are screaming greening...
with the price of potash over-doubling as of late, and demand continuing to out pace available production capacities...cleaner practices involving re-uptake from run off will surely start to become more feasible in terms of profitability...

here's another spot for innovation - stretching the yield of traditional fertilizers by altering pre-delivery preparatory, delivery, and re-uptake methods to maximize energy conversion of the fertilizer...

I have a few ideas already...

Tankers in the Sky with Diamonds

Do we have to have another stale news report - will I ever shut up about the tankers in the sky?

No, not this time and probably not....


more on this later...suffice it to say today jets are burning up all the fuel and companies like XTO will profit from rising fuel costs and all sorts of tendencies to substitute with natural gas for reasonable applications where other forms of fuel were once used in lieu de NatGas...

or they will just keep growing 20% per year in production while ending each year with more reserves than the previous...


either way this is a strong equity brand...

XTO - buy a little here a little there and more on the dips

Psychotrade eSpeciale

PZE is testing 13 again ... following a downward sloping channel of normalizing response to an incorrect news report/correction spike - the effect is nearing an end and there should be another wave of slightly larger ripples for the most daring traders as this neurotransmitter FrenziFest finally settles on a baseline price ...

Well you might ask -- why is this a special case -- stocks go up too high and fall al the time - settle to a baseline and once the re-corrections are dissipated there's usuallya strong likelihood for severely delaying PopLackage cycle or 2 before retesting the over-correction wave pattern's lower shelf boundaries...

answer:
in this case the stock was up with some momentum already and then was artificially inflated HUGE in a relatively small time accelerating and amplifying existing momentum while bringing heavy share volumes from new investors thereby adding even more intrinsic momentum to the table...--however refineries in 3rd world countries became riskier just as the re-correction waves began starting them in a downward sloping channel -- this resulted in the normalization process seeking too low a price so once it was complete the stock popped again and retested 13 where it left off - this is now..

But Wait - there's more -

so now the stock has to find where it would be if it's trend had continued without disruption by this new event that sent it instantly sailing into the stratosphere..

my best guess is that it will at the very least begin to unfurl an expanding wave pattern sloping upwardly toward 16 - with various extreme falling knife points along the way making HUGE trading opportunities for those who beg for pain where mercy has never been found...Timing these - if they occur - will be a tedious nightmare that I will have to miss out on .. :)

FedWheelin...

Just like any proper four wheeling adventure: While the Fed navigates along the bumpy market bottoms, most of the deepest holes to oblivion will only be visible as we're steered around them. It can seem quite scary staring down at dark puddles that could flip your entire vehicle right-upside down, and to make it worse - the Fed's and Market people are only human too - they have to play around a little for LearninSake - this means a few minor holes are steered into with vigor as we bounce around the catastrophic ones - even an occasional hole in the road where no major one is being averted at all - a seemingly simple YeeHa maneuver resulting to bounce some people out the back of the truck - a residual resilient exhilarant effect leftover from experiencing scared people jumping off on previous deliberate recovery bounces, but when those thought the vehicle was going to flip and sometimes with a same driver didn't in fact not letting down...and no flip occurred at all...

Now is the time to ready for a long running expansion of contracted entities which compress the collective Jing of their entire industries through fulfillment of internally developing maturation concurrently with intrinsically enhanced consolidate growth...

If you put your life there you'd need a reason better to invest...? - so if you aren't supporting your own interests - now is the time to start...think about increasing your proportion of new investment to your own companies stock...or what are you doing with your life...I certainly wish that was an easy question to answer...but it's not, so close one eye at a time so you can't gain a fully visual impact of this mostly painful market that will inevitably become a transparently invisible blip in the history of our charts...

Bottoms Up...!!!

BOOM +6 points ... Darn - this one is on the shopping list...the problem with shopping lists is that without money to shop they're nothing more than lists...

If you missed your date with a bottom-dwelling darling, don't worry - there will be plenty of traders playing this bottom...


everyone knows that bottoms are rough and a lot of bouncing is likely - so, when 5 to 10 point moves hurl these Ghetto-Fabulous stocks off the bottom, traders will be chopping out profits and creating more buying opportunities...There should be plenty of trading channels developing along the way back up toward the Pacific Heights where stocks will eventually be once they've finally made their way back home following the recession fest...So, for major stocks which have great economic stories - buying on the major dips should offer high likelihoods for rapid profitable trading opportunities... excellent insulation against downside risk is inherently intrinsic to bottom bouncing trades...think about it..if you were being dragged along the bottom and pushed around, you'd bounce up every now and then when the pushing pulls and the bottom contours aligned, combined, and applied their forces to propel you upwardly...since you had been sinking and are still oriented for travel in that direction it takes a few bounces to even get you re-oriented to optimize upward traveling following a push-pull-collide-bounce event...The Key Here IS that when you come back down to ready for another jettison experience - You Hit A Bottom and Stop Falling...so traders love this...they will be buying and popping and selling over and over again...once the push-pull forces start to get stronger and the stocks are comfortably aligned for upward travel they will no longer fall all the way to the bottom anymore, but rather come to rest before reaching the bottom and remain buoyant there until the next move up - falling less and less after each burst as they move farther and farther from bottom - this is not to imply you shouldn't expect the bottom not to drop successively...if the bottom is a slope going down and you are bouncing along in the downward sloping direction - guess what - you can still know you won't fall forever while realizing you are falling lower each time just to get to the SAME BOTTOM.....example - i will not be surprised if Apple sees 118.35 or even as low as 101.42 if things DRAG Along Long Enough before propellants are powerful enough to launch it from the Bottomousphere out into the Profosphere...

Short Term Trading Opportunities Abound:
While the market was BOTTOMING UP - took positions in:
AAPL 128
PBR 90
AUY 14.75

These look great right now, but the lows could be tested again and instant profits can fall off faster than they fell in...expect this to repeat in the short term - up and down - over and over - off and in --

Snorkeling Fringelessly Around the Seas of Prosperities

notice that the Fed's couldn't just leave rates alone in the first place...so that the people who signed loans could continue to operate their micro-economies utilizing the loan products provided to them to work in the interest rate environment for which they were designed...this is all just a way to generate more churn as currency goes in and out of economic flows...instead of just having money jumping in and out of the stock market like a porpoise in the sea, the intentions here seem to be to make dramatic transitions from porpoise to bird - bird to porpoise - stocks to real estate - real estate to stocks - and other investments types - this kind of major rate manipulation stabbing and slicing at American businesses and investors is what continues to keep the flows of all financial markets headed for the most part in the same direction...We obviously are experiencing major turbulences in the flows at the moment therefore many currents are driving values all over the place - some where they would normally never go and when flows begin to return to normal, these values will tend to be carried back toward their original path...identifying these and where to get in as they circle around the Eddies & Tides of this reverse osmosis market the Fed's have delivered to us in testing all their fancy Global Monetary Transporter Influologies on World Economic Flows...

It seems that now the global flow is also being stirred and reverted --> wealth is transitioning all over the world right now --> mostly fundage seems to have been flowing away from the US and now it's coming back...to buy the remaining assets which are tied more directly to the physical properties and attributes of American entities.

The Market is Like a Griddle Full of Pancakes...

They have to be flipped eventually and when they are ... there is always a momentary lapse in predictability while they hover in the air halfway upside down...at this moment some of the batter which is not completely cooked from the last heat-trend exposure goes flying off the sides - some batter droplets luckily land precariously on the sides of the skillet other's land right in the flames...until the pancake lands successfully on the uncooked side, revealing an unburned bottom and beginning to cook on the new side, no one is willing to commit to any condimentary or pancake futures...I mean really - would you buy into plates and syrup if you didn't even know if the pancake was going to crash and burn on the flip...

So what kind of pancakes is the US cooking at the moment...Blueberry, Strawberry, Blackberry...mmmm.....no

We've been serving up WarBerry pancakes, election beignets, and iPhone waffles...etc etc, now we're flipping some war pancakes and everyone wants to know where the burned spots are and if the other side is ready to cook - is the heat too high, which contracts are getting lost in the flip etc

Sprint pancake got flipped right into the fire...apple's iPhone was expected to displace 350,000 sprint customers but the flip revealed a big BURN - 638,000 lost customers and they are trying to blame it on the recession --> sorry Nextel --> Millennium Fashion demands Walkie talkies with color screens...!

Maybe when the AT&T pancake lands this week --> their underbelly earnings will be buttery, glistening, and golden brown --> their cakes extra plump with spill-over dough from the reckless Sprint-Nextel flip-out...!

Bigger Implications...

The Mac Book Air - what a beautiful work of art --> until the flip-out connectors flip out...

anyway - once again - it's not about the product but rather its interconnections among other products together with the experience while doing so...

this AirBook Mac probably creates an equivalent difference of presence in your hands as that of a beautifully hard-bound book printed with 100% acid free materials does from an airport floor-novel paperback.....

The iTunes connected to the MacAir - the Mac Air connected to the Air Extreme - the Air Extreme connected to the Time Capsule - the Time Capsule Connected to all the local Macs & back to the Air Extremes -Do See DO and round we go - spin yur Apple round the barn - etc etc very circular here....

Apple on the Cheap from Here to Profit...

Apple below 169 is as close to a sure good deal as you one could hope to get; that is if one is sure that the position is sustainable against forced selling pressure trying to unwind market longs...


apple could easily drop to 153ish average bottom level..layering in positions starting at below 169 is a strategy not depending on guessinghte correct bottom here...

144 should be the ultimate tail winded end of the bottoms underbelly if awful selling misery persists in sickening the markets...

zAp pole Fur Ya...

the lackluster trading activity so far this year has been lackening luster at an excelararming rate --> fiendishly frothing in gold but pairing away slowly at the stars of the show - like Apple...

Apple has been weak leading up to MacWorld - where the last 2 years there was strength at these stages preceding MacWorld, followed by Sell Offs....!

maybe this year the opposite will unfold...a reverse flow...duldrums up to the MacWorld ...et voila...Steve Jobs unveils the tip of yet another digit on the hands of macoliferation, an enormous thumb sprout...I have said this before and I will add it to this blog...Apple TV will be HUGER than anyone expected...it was merely intended to approach infancy...eventually aTV will easily tie in to the interconnecting web of apple devices, operating environments, applications, and content...users are directly buying commodity items such as hardware, software, content..etc, but experience achieved while using Apple's various product entities can never be made into a commodity due to the complexity of intrinsically interdependent interconnections which are inherently imposing influences indiscriminately on the user before during and after use of any Apple device... - which you are paying for one way or another ... because at this point yu cannot buy anything without some of yur money supporting someone's goal to save for either an Apple product or some Apple stock...

that will be the next fun app on the iphone - after you make a purchase you get to see all the different places your money diverges to through your merchants accounts...

a sudden pop tomorrow following Steve Job's KeyNote and hopefully on and up and away like a b e a u t FULL Balloon -->

“But the Fed is responsible not only for the national economy. It is responsible for defending the dollar, which represents the real savings and wealth of the nation. And that dollar has lost more value in seven years than in any similar period in modern history. A euro, worth 83 cents the year Bush was elected, has risen in value to $1.47. “

Here in lies the dilemma – the dollar value is tied to interest rates if we lower rates too low to save the credit universe we risk overdoing it and destroying the currency universe – if interest rates get too low – there will be no foreign investing in our paper products and a run on our goods – driving us back toward a manufacturing society and away from being a services and high-finance capital-centric society

The Crash of 2008?
by Patrick J. Buchanan

In March 1929, the Harding-Coolidge era came to an end. The eight years had witnessed the greatest peacetime prosperity of any nation in history: America in the Roaring Twenties. Early that March, Calvin Coolidge handed the presidency over to Herbert Hoover, who had just pulled off a third straight Republican landslide.

"I do not choose to run," said Coolidge, who could easily have won a second full term. Silent Cal went home. Hoover, whom he privately derided as "Wonder Boy," presided over the Crash of '29 and the first three years of the Great Depression.

History holds Harding, Coolidge and Hoover responsible for the Depression, with Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon, and Reed Smoot and Willis Hawley of Smoot-Hawley fame, as accessories. As Voltaire observed, history is a pack of lies agreed upon.
Two men debunked the myth that the low-tax, high-tariff policy of the 1920s brought on the Depression. The more famous is Milton Friedman, who proved to the satisfaction of a Nobel Prize committee that the Depression was a monetary phenomenon. The Fed had opened the sluices, and the money had swamped the stock market.

When Wall Street crashed, there came a run on the banks by men who had bought on margin, a depositors' stampede, a bank collapse, a wipeout of uninsured savings and the loss of a third of the money supply, lifeblood of the economy. The Fed never gave the nation the needed transfusions. Hoover and FDR, misdiagnosing the crisis, raised taxes and wrote up new regulations, which was like putting a body cast on a patient in shock from the loss of a third of his blood.

The Smoot-Hawley myth, repeated by John McCain in the Detroit debate, was demolished by Alfred Eckes of Ohio University, Reagan's man at the FTC and America's foremost authority on the history of trade and tariffs, in his 1995 "Opening America's Markets."

The point of this brief history: The recent hand-off from Alan Greenspan, the maestro of the Global Economy, to Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke may turn out to have been a lateral far behind the line of scrimmage, leaving Bernanke holding the bag for a recession for which he is no more responsible than was the hapless Hoover.

Last week, the stock market saw 4 percent of its value wiped out. Oil reached nearly $100 a barrel. The dollar fell to record lows against the Canadian dollar and the euro. The price of gold was $850 an ounce, signaling inflation and a worldwide lack of confidence in the Fed's ability or determination to defend the world's reserve currency.

The Chinese, with $1.4 trillion in reserves, perhaps 80 percent in dollar assets, indicated they may dump dollars and move into euros. Merrill-Lynch took an $8 billion hit. Citibank is signaling massive losses from its subprime mortgage debt. General Motors reported an operating loss of $1.6 billion for the quarter and a whopping $39 billion charge that is among the biggest profit hits ever reported

Where does this leave Bernanke? On the horns of a dilemma.

Exposure of all that subprime debt going rotten on the books of our biggest banks, the staggering losses being reported, the inability of homeowners to refinance or borrow any further against their equity, the credit crunch -- all argue for an easy money policy to get capital back into the economic bloodstream.

Thus the Fed has cut interest rates from 5.25 percent to 4.5 percent, thus the howls for deeper cuts, thus the market anticipation of another cut, though the Fed has said no more.
But the Fed is responsible not only for the national economy. It is responsible for defending the dollar, which represents the real savings and wealth of the nation. And that dollar has lost more value in seven years than in any similar period in modern history. A euro, worth 83 cents the year Bush was elected, has risen in value to $1.47.

As the dollar sinks, exporters may cheer rising sales, but at home we will soon find that the prices of all those imported goods from Europe and Asia down at the mall are starting to rise. U.S. soldiers, diplomats, tourists and businessmen overseas are already feeling the pain of a falling dollar.

If a recession is generally a sign the Fed should loosen up, a run on the dollar is a sign the Fed should tighten by raising interest rates to make dollars and dollar-denominated assets more attractive.

But the Fed's raising of interest rates would push up the rates on mortgages, credit cards and auto loans, and push millions of marginal folks into bankruptcy and the country into recession, a disaster for the Republicans.

But, given their free-trade fanaticism and free-spending ways, that fate would not be undeserved. Say a prayer for Ben Bernanke. He may have to eat the football that scrambling quarterback Greenspan tossed to him far behind the line of scrimmage.

Eagle Update

various new precision oriented interaction boundaries are forming an age characterized with applications fueled by data...data is becoming the oil resource of the future already, and applications, ships and jet's providing varieties of well defined and accurately executed, valid and reliable roles...securing assets...facilitating our economic expansions, contractions, and interactive complexities...or...applications propagating intrinsic innovation exponentially along neural-processing architectures structured to channel data into and out of databases while altering its attributes, properties, and characteristics - much like a refinery...

this is truly becoming the age of application centric flows among socio-economic entities "intermersed" globally throughout most technologically capable ecosystems...

Warning -- Alert -- Beware -- Watch Out --~!

Bag Url or have a frown...

Big Oil --> will continue to help those who stockpile oil to do so and with fervor.

these Oil's are real sports...they bend over backwards for customers who steer ships and fly jets all over the world on their behalf protecting their assets while pumping money into their bank accounts & siphoning money out of macro economies like a defense tax built into transportation and manufacturing CAS's...those same jet-setters also stockpile oil for fuel - just in case there is an emergency they will still be able fly around protecting acquisitions of more stockpiles for the next emergencies...you see - once added to the competitive nature of countries attempting to sequester ever larger & larger stockpiles au'lunedeautre ... hee hee hee -- it's brilliant..this way when we find out that OIL is way way way to valuable to burn...?...there will at least still be some left in our stockpiles...

in not so many words as above...which aren't really anything more than accurate conveyances void of any reliability or validity...

2008 1-8 ... a glimpse of the pain that day...

Instructions for viewing chart:
look, imagine pain, excerpt soul whale - repeat...

FROish + PBRish + AAPLish + FCELish with leverage...


thanks to the process of reversification - there's still opportunity to see higher lows followed by higher highs once again...







FROish + PBRish + AAPLish + FCELish with fewer stocks & no leverage...

Apple in the house...

look for strong shelf levels on apple

buying apple at levels listed below is likely to lead to profits considering indicators in the immediate earth environment - no reason to mention outer space or anything, which is where this stock seems destined to go:
AAPL - 186.33 ~ 169.7 ~ 153.07


More Price Activity Experimental Guess Calculation Results:
180.77 ~ 182 ~ 183.23 ~ 184.46 ~ 185.69 ~ 186.33 ~ 186.92 ~ 184.28 ~ 182.23 ~ 180.78...etc... ~ 175.24 ~ 178.93 ~ 182.63
AAPL probable MAJOR upper technical Near-Term-Bounds (up to 18 months)... ~ 203.3 ~ 269 ~|
depending on fanatacisms the above pattern could be phase shifted up or down - experimental calculations have not been applied to determine possible phase boundaries...or, it could be upside down --> I repeat myself when under stress...which is what I'll be if this patter presents upside down --> which is apparently about 40% likely...
many smaller bounds are abounding in and among the bounds bounded above...

it would appear that psycho-social, economic, and trend elements will be in place and achieve direct,proximal, &or collateral market climax momentum runs sometimes up to and into the next 1.5 to 3 years which make this investment at these levels attractive in terms of propensities toward maximizing desired outcomes...I will spare you the details...

be sure to leave yourself room for trading volatility &or options around your CORE position-->Which is NEVER to be SOLD...!!!

Petrobras Energia and the Great Snaffu...

Hee Hee - the press incorrectly credited this little high-spec offshoot of Petroleo Brasileiro with PBR's patent to some billions of barrels of sweet light crude just off the Brazilian coast...

now that PZE is unfolding to the tune of the truth --> all they really have is a bunch of gas stations in non-capitalist countries which are fed buy PZE owned and operated refineries...

What's the mention - well --> the market needs to normalize and all re-regulation cycles involving human emotion driven factors, whether charted individually or collectively as is done for trading activities, will show repeating patterns of over corrections and re-corrections that seem to diminish harmonically....

so - PZE went way up on lies - all lies --!!!
Media tells it how it is...& PZE goes from "all swelt-up to roly poly" in a matter of minuets.

there should be a deep dive here that undoes reality and must be re-corrected -->

PZE could trade as low as 5.97 but will work it's way back to test 13 eventually...

I will watch for these levels and see if they appear...
PZE
if major resistance here possible bounce to .. then followed by harmonically diminishing re-corrections
11.82 - 13.38-13.77 (13.38-13.77 - 11.56-11.3) (11.3-11.56 - 12.08-12.34) (12.08-12.34 - 11.65-11.82) etc etc etc
10.65 - normalizing downwardly - resistance here leads bounce to - 12.21-12.6
9.48 - 11.04-11.43
8.31 - 9.87- 10.26
7.14 - 8.7-9.09
5.97 - 7.53-7.92

these are experimental calculations which are barely accurate at best, have no proof of reliability, and are not shown to utilize any valid methodologies...

This is extremely speculative and may be more fun to watch from the sidelines....It might actually happen to some degree here and give us a neat chart pattern representative of collective neuronal receptor re-regulation as imposed on buying and selling behaviors

Frontline Tanker, Apple, & Petroleo Brasileiro...

If you have not received notice yet - now you have - these stocks look to be winners for 2008 and beyond...

Core positions in these are fundamental to the 2008 "Complete Portfolio"
AAPL
FRO
PBR

I expect all kinds of crazy volatility as we swoon in and out of imminent war with Iran, doom in financial markets, and slow spells that keep getting excited from market hypothermia.

This volatility has already provided several opportunities to actively trade around the core positions. FRO has already yielded 2of2 profitable schnitzel trades this year...

Let's face it - FRO faces its worst fears everyday in the straits of Hormuz - as investors we face our worst fears everyday in the streets of Manhattan - therefore we are FRO - No _ really --> FRO will see all kinds of danger as we dance around wars and terroristic claimancies...HUGE swings are likely....

I expect Dips and Pops followed by Swings and Hurls....
careful monitoring is recommended if any dabbling you do yeah...warning...some Lunging may occur

Ba HumBug AT&T...

CEO Randall Stephenson of AT&T had to come out yesterday and blab some doom comment all over the press..

What a Guy...!

Thanks Randy...

Firstly - I think Randall is confused about one thing..or another...like..why his residential customers are canceling landlines, making fewer cell calls, and buying less equipment...

It has nothing to do with the recession - which is real but doesn't need Randall's help by jumping to conclusions...

Let clarify what's going on for you Randy...

1. people are canceling land lines so they would have more funds to buy apple stock. This need for funds is what caused them to remember they had a land line to cancel.

2. people are making fewer calls because they are too busy playing with an iPhone or reading steadily toward obtaining one...

3. people are buying less equipment because their wallets are cinched up following the fist evolution of the mark-n-sting grabvertising campaign hypersnyping iphonage

So - as for slow consumers - their moments that matter will continue to be those centered on luxury electronics, communications, and required transportations, transactions, & consumptions...or especially conservations thereof (watch closely in 2008 for wild rides in AMSC CREE FCEL FSLR DSTI BOOM etc etc etc as everyone and some dogs scramble to generate ever more costly energy conservation systems while all the while improving margins....in other words these companies all have commercializable product lines today and this year to next which will be sought after for larger and larger projects while at the same time this activity will continue to drive scaling prosperity in service and supply chains ultimately reducing all associated production costs leading to higher profits and stronger growth....)

History Repeats Itself...

Fisrt we had a credit crunch with fears of inflation followed by bad jobs reports, and so the Fed's came to the rescue and lower rates...and then a corrected jobs report was released showing a gain of thousands of jobs instead of a loss...

Now we had another jobs report gone bad - just whenthe Fed's need to squeeze as much money from the markets as possible - even if it's going straight back in- they need to get it circulating again ... and generating taxes ... I will not be surprised if they come out with a correction to this jobs report in a couple of months...

Apple Fall Far from the Tree...?

maybe not...a nice rebound to 186.33 and then to 192ish should be pretty quick and tidy as soon as all this regressionary hoopla wears off...if it wears off...otherwise...go the movies...

eventually it has to take out 203.3 and then it's off to the races for a while...

some are recommending call spreads here on AAPL-

sell a far out (time & money)covered call on apple and use the proceeds to purchase near the money near term call...

sounds like a good idea...

Stagflationary Recessionism

recession digression trauma drama among psycho-social circles may actually digress us deeper into the recession we are just about to come out of....

I don't know where everyone else has been --> but it feels like we've been in this recessagflationary state for some time depending on what indicators you look at or who you listen to - the inverted yield curve for the last year or so...etc etc - mixed sector inflation and falling house prices where most US areas are affected tremendously and some are only slightly --> there's always a spending requirement somewhere...no matter how confusing and traumatized it may seem - remember economies are distributed and growing in such a way that only things which kill so many of us you won't need to worry anymore can stop it...

let's see what makes the global economies grow - war peace disaster serenity shopping - so if all we do is sit back and eat drive and eventually need medical care...then everything which needs to happen to make the leading companies grow will continue to happen...

so eat drink and be merry --> Happy New Year !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let It Bleed...

now that the Fed has delayed just long enough to flush out all the major profit holders they can following the new year, maybe we can move on and get to cutting rates...

it makes perfect sense...the govt makes money when people take profits, so maybe the fed is stalling the rate cuts to flush out as many profit holders as possible...

since the new year is in there are plenty of tax-deferring profit holders left and now they are scaret'n'runnin...

once all the turncoats are flushed out maybe the feds will step in and smash the rates down...

no matter what --> it seems that pain is not going anywhere soon and that I should take my own advice to run, run like the wind...speaking of running...

reversification of the day:
closed out: MDR FCX RTP and used the proceeds to add more to GOOG FRO FSLR DSTI

I still like the mining stocks - it's just that I haven't heard anything about fuel costs affecting profits at mining companies...I would have to deduce that mining uses a lot of huge fuel sucking engines and various types of power hungry electrical motors too probably...surely they attempt to hedge against fuel and costs by purchasing futures or something like that, but tis can't be completely foolproof... as for MDR - i just didn't like the look of the chart in terms of the likely rate and range of recovery price movements...

Amazingly - the tankers, oils and various others have carried the Chaotic balance portfolios to an overall loss today of .00106%....I am very pleased at the resilience of these equities in this market, and this does seem to be the market - not broken companies, or even broken stocks - just look at the intraday candlesticks of very different companies with similar intraday patterns...seeing this kind of pattern-matching all over the place may indicate general market malaise on strong stocks as tax-defferring profit takers hit hard following a HUGE year...on the up side there were many strong stocks:

Ouch - what if theres a Sell Off ...

Suck It Up...

A lot of selling could occur as some take profits after the new year - Maybe some people wanted to move their profits to another stock or sector but preferred to deffer taxes another year...well they might Wait until just after the new year and start taking profits...

This could happen - but this is just a buying opportunity if it does - these may be the ones that make money again in 2008...

Watch for a sell off on high flyers and buy small amounts on the dips...

You know - now that I look at all the tendrals into technology markets potentially about to take off for this company - I think I have to say the prospects for apples near term growth seem to be even stronger from here than they did when I first started following apple trading at a split-adjusted price of 15...

Now You Can Come Right Out...

& BLAME CANADA...
...and I WILL

My long time favoritism toward the Canadian Oil & Gas Trusts has once again been shifted out of phase with reality --> I hate to see a good one like this turn bad again - but - and - since - this area has been repeatedly good from time to time sometimes and definitely over all pretty much always in the long run --> a return again to these is highly likely sometime in 2008 if they settle into their next low levels down...or even get clearly valued and go up --> The Key is that it seems No One really knows the true value of these companies...but for long periods the huge dividends keep everyone quiet...Well their screaming now, and I wanted to go with winners like Apple and PBR...etc

Canadian trust holders (that was me...sorry if it was you too - but hol dem and they will continue to pay...) got hammered in the later months of 2007...
...What seemed like what was going to turn into a dreamin screamin cash machine of take overs wound out waiting everyone up like unwanted lay overs instead...only leading to flight delays and over-all flight experiences well below expectations...yes that is what the Canadian take overs started to seem like...so they will continue to go on consolidating and optimizing...

[These Canadian trusts will most Likely Do Fine...I just perceived a better prospect somewhere else and ran for it --> not from these [CNE PGH PVX PWE AAV] <-- some day I may return to these for income-aspect power --> right now I traded them for growth-aspect power --> now there needs to be a powerful aspect of growth or much painful suffering will lull along for half a year...With No Income...!...Ouch...!!!

...not to say the Canadian Trusts are done or anything like that - they continue to pay hefty dividends, have been forced by politicians to improve efficiencies and create sustainable operating methodologies, and are near maximum technically sustainable lows...wherein lies the problem - they only appear to be Near their technically sustainable maximum lows baring unpredictable adverse factors which could eventually under ride even these theoretically calculated lows...so what I'd Do -

Well...I ate em....

since the Canadians were already down (some less than 12 months dividends worth- others more) and the Canadian charts are looking bad - I rotated out and am now officially Blaming Canada for not making my target of 100% gains for comp portfolio for the year...

Oh Yeah, and also especially blaming certain pump-n-dump properties in US, Alaska, and South America...XSNX AKYI FXPE PSEG --> Never Buy Stocks that look like these ones or you too will be sorry you did... as am I...

Stay tuned in for the exciting blame levied against China for 2008 year end market crashes...or something else not like that...

So it's over now...

or... "it's only just begun",

That deepens whenever you look at it...

I hope everyone bought all the stocks that made people a lot of money in 2007 and NOT, "I Repeat Myself When Under Stress", NOT, stocks that caused a lot of losses. I'm guessing here again, but,.... You see, even though these loser stocks may seem like a good bargain if they belong to fantastic companies that just happen to be out of favor for all the wrong reasons...which happens all the time and you just have to cut and run...if you accidentally got in before you found out there was no favor to be found...

No, the bargains may not bounce after the new year unless there is a specific kicker to give a boost - everyone who lost their shirt just sold and put tax losses on their books - federally baring them from buying back for 30 days or something like that...this effect will put a bearish dimple in the technical interpretation of the chart pattern following the new year effect which acts like a tag for negative market sentiment - much the same way as a stock split announcement acts like a tag for positive market sentiment when actually there is nothing different at all outside of the affective stock split-price relative terms used to describe the same underlying things...

Conversely I would surmise that people will buy the 2007 stocks that made them money back again in 2008. Especially, fund managers and those who sold in the last few days of the year. This end of year profit taking seems like it would be against the highest percentage winners of the year since selling them can help balance a portfolio with very little trading activity needed - ie. high profit-margin assets - this has a double whammy n'effect - the light share volume needed to raise money (if that's what's needed) doesn't signal bearish indicators to the market starting a crescendo of selling against the underlying or other stocks...which may also be held by a fund...a fund may be trying to make re-balance their allocations, make minor adjustments to their gains/losses for the year, or shift funds/assets to ready them for the 1st trading session of the new year...etc...therefore they might try to raise capital at this point in the year by light selling in their highest profit margin assets...and trying not to start a selling crescendo...

so wondering how apple can sell off all day with no price movement either way....like it did all day today - this probably means the BIGGEST holders are still holding most of their stuff and didn't want their selling to affect their own portfolio holdings...

truly, I have No idea...But...Let's just hope they aren't waiting to take profits right away in the first of the new year...I think appl looks good to 212 with ease even if a pull back is eminent - this is because it's within 5% of the 203.3 boundary which has been technically met with force +-5% at least twice...



Possible GOOD NEWS - PEOPLE MAY WANT TO BUY THESE GOOD STOCKS BACK AS SOON AS THEY CAN -"After New Year BEGINS" - other wise they won't make money in 2008 too :)

Russia can provide oil and nuclear services to the region..

Iran can have electricity and clout..but watch out --> there will be nuclear waste to deal with, and we may have to trust the Russians to make sure it doesn't fall into the wrong hands...

Al Qaeda in Iraq will no longer have easy access to recruitment opportunities, weaponry, trade routes, or advisers...

Now:
Russia can regulate the energy flows for the region...
US can use bases in Iraq to regulate the security of the region's assets and their interconnections...
Iran can regulate the psycho-social entities and their interconnections...

of course these should be areas of focus and not neglect other areas for each

Eagle Century and Energy...

Consumers have spent $7 trillion more on energy the first 7 years of this Eagle century than were spent in the last seven years of the previous Panther century.

Now let's just look at this for a moment - is this correct and what we should expect...or is something wrong?

Answer is...Yes
Yes - this is the way it should be..

Just look at the caloric consumption rate per kilogram body weight of even the smallest of birds...so, if we're going to get this Eagle off the ground it's gonna take a lot of inputs and conservations working together and in very clean manners - Eagles fly better clean...

A F P & S seem to be the most popular alphabet characters going into the new year, however P might fall behind. I am expecting a temptation to sell a P on Monday, the last trading day of the year...

F-PoP...& It Won't Stop...

FCEL

Gets a nice day today - the bears tugged it down all day only to ultimately be defeated in the end --> and even up on 729,564 shares in after after hours trading

FCEL formed a long lower shadow (a mallet) - indicates that sellers controlled all day but were defeated in later trading

So, if this info is put together with previous days activity it appears the stage is set for an island reversal - so F-Pop...or it'll flip flop and then force stop...till the crops mopped and your jaw drops....

FCEL should not linger long @ lower levels here --> favor is in favor of this favorite...truly a remarkable combination of favoritisms...usually the favored stocks are not flavored for predominate market taste..the ones with favor flavor are

Good News Gone Bad...Ouwie...!!!

FCEL had some great bad-news this morning. This has created a huge buying opportunity.
1. nothing has really changed significantly in terms of FCEL's rapid growth rate
2. the 16.2 MW order has increased the backlog by 50%, so - if new orders come in from other sources soon, it will have been as if the Connecticut 16.2MW deal was bigger anyway - after all - it's in backlog behind 25MW's already
3. the 16.2 deal is not finalized until Jan 9th - Connecticut may add more projects by Jan 9th
4. FCEL was just overly crushed and could bounce back to 11.08 from technical market forces dampening
5. if there's a lot of strength right away there could be an easy bounce to 12.10
6. Most Importantly - FCEL should still be able to achieve the "up-to-20% cost reduction in their supply chain via leverage gained from the large scale requirements of the 25+MW backlog - which is not done growing :) - truly these expected cost reductions are a portion of the short term growth which is priced into the stock. "Bear" in mind here, the 9 MW plant will be the largest fuel cell installation in the world...
7. This company keeps good company...ie Board members, DOE, ...x... etc
8. Regardless of how many alternative energy sources are used to power our future, there will always be gases to deal with and special requirements that only fuel cells offer a cost effective avenue for such efforts given current technology streams

Expect Rapid Technology Development in this Eagle Century...

I expect massive "TechInjection" all over the world as old style systems are updated to all new relpacements instead of upgrades. Land based vehicles have to be redesigned to resist high energy shaped charge attacks as well as fit new engine and drive systems becoming available. Ships and planes and everything else is the same way right now. Retrofits and reuse are becoming less and less practical as fundamental infrastucture technologies are undergoing the most rapid and dramatic component architecture and ancillary system advancements ever seen in the history of humankind's known industrialization.

This might be good for a lot of companies. Some specific areas of interest relatd to this: Love BAESF because - they have the biggest Rail Gun in town...
BAESF - deadly shit
AMSC - new shit
FCEL - new shit
A0N4P4 - shit power & propulsion - TOGNUM on German DAX
BOOM - little shit
UTX - big shit
AVAV - unmanned ariel shit
MDR - nuclear components for massively powered shit

F is still for Friday...

So the market forces have driven FCEL up and a new range may form..

this is cool since back in September I decided to publish the results of my experimental future boundary guesser:

http://noonesapproval.blogspot.com/2007/09/f-is-for-friday.html

Today the easy-side boundary of the new range was met with force and FCEL traded up to and just above the new lower bound for approximately 30 minutes --> only to fall off 20 cents r so.

Remember - 13.12 is still a resistance at this point

F is for Friday.....

and FCEL - Fuel Cell Energy Corp

I'm trying out a new calculation here...so here it goes

My estimate for FCEL's future target range is 13.12-15.68

A Tirany of Economic Yrony...

Goldman Sachs made $11 billion hedging against credit-crunch fodder-backed securities and other mortgage related "doomvestments". So, today while clever "GoldenBears" are sheering off their hedge of profits in one Sachs department, another is busy with analysts scurrying around trying to find the best way to put the billions back to work.

Some money is going into stock equities and some of 11 billion is a lot!!

So no wonder today's headlines read:

"Goldman Sachs is stirring fears over credit crunch"

of course they are - they just beat it and now they have to invest their profits - only it's not 100% decided as to where the monies will go and Sachs needs time to settle it and move it into new positions....they probably hope the market will stall here - so find what you like and and you know what to do...

a listener has pointed out a cool website - it shows where the mutual fund managers are putting their money - remember --> all recoveries are asymmetrical to their decline in terms of who goes back up and how far how fast.....

Snapping Up Apple...

I still like to bite on the Apple here there and everywhere...

AAPL's new eventual price target ...is...

269.62

There will probably be a a split announced sometime in 2008 and it will probably be sooner than later...

There will probably be a lot of sales in current product lines...

There will probably be some global sales growth...

There will probably be some new HOT products launched early in 2008...

Investors will probably continue to benefit in the long term from buying Apple stock...

FedMech: Synergistic Multi-prong Aproach to Alter Output of Complex Adaptive Economic Systems

The Fed's multi-pronged approach to the credit crunch may be just what a chaotic economic system truly needs...

The coordination among Central Banks and their global counterparts will most likely achieve unprecedented levels of cooperative economic repair influences given the utilization of all the latest technologies and information infrastructures...

There has also been tremendous accomplishments in the application of non-linear approaches to solving all types of highly interconnected centers of crisis formation, so there are most likely aspects of these types of strategies being employed today all over the world while actively rectifying this credit cruncher...

I would also like to note that this trying time is also providing an excellent opportunity to gather data for predictive volatility analysis providing perspectives necessary for scaling our transaction processing infrastructures to handle future market conditions...not to mention the psychosocial implications...

The Bottom Dollar...~

It would seem that if the US dollar is showing signs of having bottomed - and even turned around ... then foreign investors who have been waiting for this indication will move their money into US markets.

We could see some rises in some stocks from this effect...

My best guess is that if I wait to see how it turns out, then I'll know if my guess here is correct.

I guess that it might very well be...correct that is...

Patterns Still Holding...

Here comes the scary part again..

S'yuh'avtuh AsKyerSuf...

Didyer portfolio make a new high even though the overall market did not..?
If yes --> pattern yursuf on the back for at least still having hope that the portfolio will now make another successively higher low...

Has this happened to a greater degree following each successive short term sell-off..?
If yes --> pattern yursuf on the back for proper reversification technique, and the hope that this will once more occur upon recovery from this current sell-off...

So, 3 times is a charm...if portfolios are making successively higher highs followed by higher lows on each correction, then market pressure has been compressed and is being released through a smaller stock universe...in other words major amounts of money are coming out of various stock market sectors, and when it comes back into the markets it is going back in unevenly - putting more upward pressure on the favored sectors during rallies than that of the downward force during the sell-offs/This phenomena could continue to drive certain stocks higher while the market dozenother southern-sidewinder on us...

The Boy Who Cried Fuel Cell...

FCEL

a rising but distant star - the most misunderstood fuel cell company on the planet...

I just want to focus on 1 highlight of this quarter's results...

"Research and development contract revenue was $5.5 million, up from $2.5
million in the 2006 fourth quarter resulting from increased activity on the
Company's multi-MW coal based solid oxide contract with the U.S. Department of
Energy." --> excerpt from this quarter's FCEL results and accomplishments statement.

why is this important - what does this statement mean?

This is important because America has a lot of coal, and this project is improving a means by which coal is converted to electricity without combustion. Current DFC plants run at 47% efficiency - 80% utilizing CHP systems.

This statement likely means that research on coal based solid oxide Direct Fuel Cell technology is going well, and the DOE increased the budget to expedite completion of the remaining trial phases. (a little history here - FCEL's DFC system met all the validating criteria put forth by the DOE 6 months ahead of schedule in live-function trials.

FCEL remains prone to volatility and profitable entry points should continue to emerge in the likely and frequent future price swings as the investor market awareness grows amid the profit-chopper trading activity.

So many ,,,things to do...not enough...you know what...

RTP & IVN may be getting close to finalizing agreement with Mongolian Government to start mining operations... RTP seems to be hinting around that they will be the World's largest copper producer. RTP turned down $141 Billion Bid from BHP --> I think they know something good...


SHI & MCD --> have agreements in place to open mcDonalds eateries at any of SHI's 30K+ Chinese gas stations...SHI is off its high & could be a good long play here

FSLR, SPWR, CSIQ, WFR, ESLR JASO, LDK, --> Solar plays,,,please come down to earth DSTI is spec special here...

From Russia with Love...

Lukoil - Sounds like something you getinto or something ...

it's not -->

It's a HUGE Big Earl Cumpny...

A Rusky one at that...

Russia has plenty of oil and related economies...who better to pick up where they left off in Iraq than these heavily prepared Russian "Oilstranaughts"...

Apparently, Lukoil has numerous major ongoing projects in IRAQ which range the entire gamut of activities in the fields of geological assessments, industry planning, field exploration, full scale production, all levels distribution, and complete oil services delivery. These current and future projects may be worth some possible extra billions and Lukoil is well positioned to remain a key player in IRAQ for quite some time. The key is that they are the fastest route to fruition for extracting Oil from Iraq - they already had deals with Sodom Insane, Iraq's former dicktator, and everything required for a brand new oil economy infrastructure just happens to be conveniently nearby ~ where those commis put it.!..Oil & Gas Universities to train Iraqi Industry professionals....equipment and distribution together with complete industry service delivery can be met easily as a simple extension of territory for Lukoil...Welcome to the Big League Luky Lukester...

this truly is a decade long moment to rrememb... ... brings tears to the eyes... err

Tremedous Temptations...

Once Upon A Time...

There was a trust whose product was Black Gold,

and in the land a tax man ruled 'til their Gold was sure to fold...

So, the value of their gold all told has traditionally been that of what's been sold...

But now with this tax man lining his eyes with gold scrapings of the pie, a new value structure may emerge based on what reserves have been discovered yet still lie in the ground cold...oceans of "Black Sky"

I am guessing here - but with a %14 dividend, very low risk growth potential at this price level, and regular monthly dividend payout schedule - I would have to call Canada's Provident Energy Trust a Buy now that it is trading around $10..

PVX (not to confuse ..hehe.. the opposite of this stock is DSTI and may be a HUGE WINNER in the Phenomenal Growth Department)

Thinking of buying? Consider:
1. consider buying half your shares at first and the other half after you lose some
2. use a broker that offers dividend reinvestment free for any stock - Etrade etc...
3. Blame Canada when you lose money...!

PVX LM ~=~ 10.51

TankerMinder...

FRO --> best Play to benefit from short term tripling of VeryLargeCrudeCarrier spot market rates since most of their fleet operates on the spot market and not on longer term charter contracts. FRO is a great PurePlay on VLCC's ... & the LongHaul OIL transport market...top line...

FRO usually does a lot of sinking and swimming so if you are thinking of floating some dough...wait for the FROat to sink first so you can float your dough up with the ship...easier said than done - the opposite of course is sinking your dough into FROat and watching it sink with the ship - HINT: FRO always --> drops like a rock from time to time --> :-) usually following the X-Dividend date = the day the stock price is discounted it's dividend payout --> with FRO there tends to be a 2-3x dividend amount sell-off effect following each div X date.

SFL TNP --> WoW diversified high margin fluids is the name of the game here --> if IT's nasty-thick slick-n-slimy and lubes-n-burns, but could still bubble in a tub, these players have a specialized tanker just for IT...

GMR --> Fleet is all AfraMax & SuezMAx tankers - slight smoothing in short term stability seems trending toward a breakout with uncertain PopUp potential

VLCCF --> mostly longer term contracts on it's VLCC vessels - expect steady variability with moderate fluctuation

NAT --> Fleet is all SuezMAx tankers --> therefore will not see spot rates as high as those for VLCC's, but many vessels are on the spot market...

Note: many long term charters have spot rate factors built in so even charter rates can be variable....

Rates are high now...

Americans Money & Oil...

The cycle continues...
So all the construction related motoring around is stalling as well as the seemingly never ending supply of home equity cash -> most recently used to fuel more construction related motoring, to purchase various things all over the place, and to buy and fuel SUV's to drive around in gathering all the scattered things.

It's a good thing a HUGE portion of all this "MotorNesting" expense was for the fuel to power all that construction related motoring and the SUV errands....

Why -> so it can be borrowed back from Abu Dhabi now...when it's once again needed -> to fund all the "Movers Motoring" and people driving around for extra work

This is not even considering the ginormic increase in demand for fuel to propel all the vehicles which secure and operate our world energy-web infrastructures and resources while supply-line risks "floatcuate" around the globe and resource scarcity expands amongst environments of ever increasing consumptive trends...

SO, what this "bOILS" down to is fundamentally exclusive of facts and goes something like this:
refiners and other customers put off orders for oil due to high prices and sustained on reserves while reducing oil processing capacities to "optinimum" levels of positive economic operation (this reduces wear on the materials involved while margins are low and allows for opportunity downtime maintenance, re-conditioning and formulating processes and blends...etc -- Oil Transportation is cyclical ), ship owners converted single hulled vessels to other specializations and sold them off thereby skewing analysts accuracy in their estimates of VLCC vessel supply --> over-estimating the supply of ships they have...Spot rates have now just about tripled in the last couple of days and oil is needed in ever more locations around the globe...and ever so much more often sooner than when while happening slightly quicker than the prior period's faster growth which dwarfed the zippiest expansion of interconnections ever seen when the first growing tanker fleet occurred ... The End

If this doesn't make sense - well --> it's late

FRO
SFL
GMR
TNP
VLCCF
NAT

FYI: For long hauls tankers are considered less vulnerable than pipelines in regards to terrorism, natural disaster, vandalism, sabotage, maintenance oversight incidents which could potentially result in delay-disruptions to oil delivery schedules.

More Awareness of Nothing...

is to realize from knowing something...

I am not convinced that anything is as it seems unless the propensity for counting on it to seem like what it's not becomes desirable. This can work out sometimes and lead to times like this where the only thing left to do is...let the imagination run wild...

Let's envision a scenario where some of the smartest most well informed ambitious deciders derive how to steer the revelation of huge multi-billion dollar write-offs in terms of their long term objectives. These people always operate with contingencies in mind and escape routes all along the way, so I hope it's safe to say they have at minimum slightly overstated the estimated write downs. By simply "estimating up" this way, so to speak, they are building in the opportunity for good news later to help propel some recovery sentiment and gains.

&...For The Record...-->"I Know Nothing...!!!" --> :)

& while we're in the record --> "I Never Did..."

The Dollars Go In... The Dollars Go Out...

They don't eat the jelly with their snout...

They make stocks go up and down...

SO after 4 days of selling starting last WED --> a lot of money is now settled and ready for investment, but the stock universe from which it came is smaller than when the money goes back in - this may be offset however by funds be redirected to other types of investments like real estate bonds...etc:
WED sell $$ ---> Settles Mon
THUR sell $$ --> Settles Tue
FRI sell $$ ----> Settles Wed
MON sell $$ ---> settles Thur

**Warning - all numerical presentations and derivations such as those represented above and everywhere else in this blog's past and future posts are based in full or in part on "Non-Numerical Math Methods" (NNMM) and cannot be relied on for validity regardless of how reliable or accurate they may or may not seem **

So ... Pools of cash Poured Out from the entire stock universe but disproportionately from financial calamity "BusInterConnected" stocks and other disfavored "stocketypes"... now the money is settling and "HalloweenLuau" the money is coming back in...but it will go in disproportionately as "sectoration" occurs where some of the ones which lost less may gain more...hmm...market force focus is being achieved here through our perceptive tagging amongst chosen investment vehicles which are the current great attractors within the financial markets.

So --> now may be a time to focus on trimming the gloom-busted stocks while there is plenty of settlement buying pressure to drive liquidity and prices favorably for more-profitable selling, and once the settlement buying pressure runs out and the next decline begins...redirect the money back to the BOOMers of the bunch ~

Be glad we were gifted with 4 glorious days of selling instead of 1 HUGE one...this actually helps in terms of aggregation enhancing the "settlement effect" giving it more power in the positive direction... Good Luck... :)

Whop Pop Top Drop...

Google stretched to the 741.5 and overshot a little. Apple never quite made it to 203.3 but stopped short around 92.2ish, within 5% deviation from the 203.3 target. This all happened way to fast! GOOG and AAPL will now have new short term technical ranges exceeding their previously calculated maximums...of course, they must bottom to a shelf before we can guess what their new targets will be; then recession must be dodged, downside reversals must be averted by stocks and markets, and economic forces must circulate appropriate share volumes within a proportionately relative time span.

Before the rest of the growing stocks could barely get started in the direction of these tech giants and some solar warriors, the entire market sentiment became diametrically opposed to the power of positive thinking. All the major good news ran out so upcoming minor news must be preemptively elevated to a more important status by overwhelming the senses with extra doses of all the worst information possible. This will allow for more upside volatility later when something just better than bad news surfaces to be revealed.

So, here we go again...swinging low...
Swing High...
Up Up to the Sky...
