Here's the Motley Fool response to Cramer's suggestion that Apple buy SIRI.
http://www.fool.com/investing/genera...o-2&yptr=yahoo
Spoiler Alert! Basically he says, (1) Valuations don't work, cause SIRI trades at 35 time earnings while APPL trades at 12 time earnings.(don't know what that has to do with anything. (2) Shareholders (specifically Malone and Liberty) won't let that happen, but for the right price and the right structure (all stock, tax friendly) anything is possible cause Malone is in this to make $$$. and (3) The Gub-ment Regulators won't allow it (really? I don't see a problem.....again, for the right price after they grease a few palms and agree to some stipulations....sure, no problem)
MONEY is the Main Ingredient! (see what I did there?)
Anyhow, enjoy the article and the song!

Looks like everyone is talking of a correction or the beginning of one. Hmmm...
I've always enjoyed this promotion. It doesn't cost them a single dime to turn radios on and off.

There was an article in this week's Barrons entitled "Options Volatility Sleeps as Risks Increase" which conceded that the current low mkt volatility is perhaps the "calm before the storm" and that speaks to your point...but the article also alluded to the very real possibily/probability that things continue to just move along and grind higher.
Here's an excerpt:
"Equity volatility, realized and implied, is at extremely low levels, especially with major economic reports, possible interest-rate hikes, and a contentious presidential election on the horizon. Greater volatility would confirm what many investors believe: that the U.S. stock market deserves to trade at a significant risk premium. Yet the market’s grinding advance persists against a backdrop of ultralow interest rates."
But the "smart money" doesn't seem to be concerned, as the article continues;
“A surefire way to get a laugh out of equity portfolio managers these days is to recommend hedges,” says Jim Strugger, MKM Partners’ derivatives strategist."
If I can recall how to do attachments, here's a representative shot of what Alaska was all about: In case the image is too small, do what you can to zoom in on it.......... 6 seals atop a passing ice burg....... in August, yet.Quote:

And if the Preview of this message is any indication, then the pictures didn't locate as I had hoped. Anyway, I hope you get the idea. PS. Dm, there dimply are too many pictures to post. I'll try to place them in Flicker soon and merely supply a link to view. Alaska was absolutely beautiful, with seals, whales, sea lions, bald eagles, ice burgs, glaciers, and yes, the Botanical Gardens in Victoria, B. C. Canada
Anyone see this article?

nice pics SI. Alaska is a awesome state. Short story...I was 18 years old, join the military and they send my butt to all places South Florida (Homestead AFB). Man o man...talk about a dream assignment. Good times...too good lol. It was literally life in the fast lane. After about a year i call my buddy Sonny who worked inbound/outbound assignments...I said Sonny ya gotta get me out of here before i get in trouble. He calls me back two days later he says how does Alaska sound? I was all over it man. I even had to give an additional year of service to go. I went and never looked back. Alaska is just majestic state. Glad you got to experience it SI...anyone else ever think of traveling there i highly recommend it. One of my favorite spots was Homer, AK...its the halibut capital of the world. We would camp out on the spite and go out on the boats in the am. Can't wait to go back some day. Hell....i even drove from Anchorage to Boston when i finally left. The drive thru the Yukon Territory was a trip man. Talk about remote...i didn't have radio for like 2 full days driving lol.
Now you will claim you were some personal injury lawyer now too. :thumbup:

Sorry chunky monkey but your SAEX, GEVO, and PHOT recommendations sucked. We are no longer following your advice. Move along train conductor. :)
Well at the very least its nice to know you answer to your new nickname "Little Sausage". :tysign:

This has driven up valuations but, I would say that even so, valuations while they are higher than the long term average, are not crazy high....certainly caution is warranted and as I said, sooner or later those calling for a correction will be right. Maybe next week, maybe next month....maybe not til next year, but for sure a correction (like Winter in Game of Thrones http://youtu.be/5Y6TqxLmxIo) is coming.Quote:

In fact, less than two weeks ago, the VIX Index set a fresh two-year low.The S&P 500 Index has posted 38 consecutive trading sessions without moving at least a 1%..... something that has happened in less than 2% of the trading days during the last 35 years.
As for the Business Insider article, I wouldn't trust a thing anyone from UBS has to say. UBS, at it's core is nothing but a bunch of Nazi sympathizers who helped Hitler plunder and hide gold, artwork, and other valuables from the Jews during the Holocaust. Don't think for a second they've changed their stripes. Crooks are Crooks and being crooked is baked into the DNA of that firm. Just a few years ago they had to pay Billions of $$$ in fines and admit that they were willfully and illegally helping millionaires and billionaires hide income from U.S. taxes. One UBS banker was actually smuggling Diamonds through Customs in a toothpaste tube for his clients! http://www.reuters.com/article/us-ub...0IK14520141031
When someone from UBS speaks, even if there is a kernel of truth in what he speaks, you can be sure that their motive is to separate you from your money and gold - even if they have to pry it out of fillings in your mouth.
Nice strong close on GEVO today. Alerted here at .55 a few days ago and closed at .59 today.
