Opinion & Analysis
Graphic_rating_buy Gold vs. currency   about GG   07/15/08
Gold is up against all the major currency that I believe is the beginning of a new up-trend. People are running scared as their retirement funds dwindle and are looking for a safe heaven. Historic

One way to mitigate the expense is to use the leverage of a call option. I bought the Aug 50 call today for 4.38. My timing couldn't have been worse, but Aug espiry is still a month away.

where do we go from here 07/15/08
The S&P has now broken the low of 6/12/06, 1219.29. The next stop is 1168.20 of 10/10/05. The Dow and the Nasdaq are in similar situations. I origanally joined the stock buzz to get some new ideas on trading my options account, however I now believe I can be of some help to all it's members with my actual trading experience.

Re: Vulcan Materials Company (VMC) 07/07/08
Vulcan's earning have deteriorated the last two quarters and very sharply last quarter. Considering the economic climate I see no reason to see a change. Earnings come 7/30 after the market close and I will be short this stock at least until then.

Re: Under Priced and in better shape than it appears. 07/07/08
Earnings on the 22nd will tell the story. I think it's going to be a big miss, I and also think that Jpm will decide on WB over STI. If both occur then this stock could lose another $10 to $12 before it settles. I think by today's move (even when the market was up 100) it being down almost 10% is saying that investors believe this to be the case.
