Opinion & Analysis
Graphic_rating_sell Thought they avoided subprime, turns out high-end w..   about WFC   07/19/10
Wells will learn the hard way, just like all the rich people of this country are learning now, that rich people aren't shielded from making stupid housing decisions. In fact, they are MORE liable to m...

Graphic_rating_sell Just like it's Warren Buffett friends before it (FN..   about WPO   07/19/10
When Warren is forced to sell this due to Kaplan putting it's poor customers into legal indentured servitude, it'll be time to cover this short. Until then, shorting this octopus is doing God's work. ...

Graphic_rating_buy Volatility? Nah loc, it's just a leveraged anti-1i..   about VXX   07/19/10
Would be nice if VXX weren't a flawed ETF, and even nicer if it actually tracked the thing it's supposed to track, volatility. I can't remember a time since first quarter 2000 that the market was this...

Graphic_rating_sell Airlines will land soon   about AMR   07/19/10
This is the one airline that hasn't gone bankrupt yet, and it's a shame that it's going to go bankrupt bc American Airlines has been FAR AND AWAY the best managed airline. The creators of Orbitz and S...

Graphic_rating_sell short the phonebook time   about LCC   05/24/10
especially airlines that not even other airlines want to buy.

Re: Same theme as last year, but with dropping commission rates 03/24/11
SocialPicks sucks dogshit. Look at all the spam on this site, and they still don't know what a stock split is.

Re: Bullish on BEAS ... 07/19/10
Shame that SocialPicks doesn't account for getting acquired.

Re: some day we'll get rid of dead wood 07/19/10
not sure how SocialPicks accounts for this as a 100% gain, when it's only down from $1.07 to $0.29. Add it to the list of why this website doesn't work.

Re: Same theme as last year, but with dropping commission rates 07/19/10
SocialPicks is a worthless website. I am STILL getting slammed for picks in AIG and ETFC due to 10:1 stock splits. Preposterous.

Re: Bullish on GOLD ... 05/24/10
nice call from 2.5 years ago, but maybe time to revisit all your picks??

Re: Bullish on TOL ... 05/24/10
Why should I get excited about higher-end RE builder? Sure seems like higher-end RE has a lot longer to fall, given it has no safety net like standard-loan-sized homes (which have infinite backing of FNM and FRE as of Xmas Eve 2009)

Re: Bearish on AAPL ... 05/24/10
nice call, but what's the supporting argument?

Re: growth railroad 05/03/10
Now that Warren the tax-loving communist has bought a railroad, these stocks are dead money for awhile.

Re: they can't save the income statement 04/20/10
Wells is no longer a long, but a big fat short. There's rumors that Wells Fargo is receiving servicing fees for houses in the shadow inventory that contain no-longer-paying squatters. No rental monthly payment, no mortgage payment, and no foreclosure either (thanks to balance sheets no longer needing to reflect reality); yet, Wells is supposedly collecting fees for "servicing" these houses?? ...

Re: cheapshot 03/26/10
Should have been closed back in November at 3 cents, but waited to book long-term taxes instead of short term; something I don't think SocialPicks gives any credit, but maybe someday?
