Yea my roomie works for Freddie and he says the employees that been there forever are pissed since they remember when they were buying the stocks in the $60 range. But i figure the stock cant go much lower than its .76 cents and since i dont own any stock i was thinking about throwing $400 dollars into the stock and wait/hope years from now that stock goes up.

FRE and FNM is cancer....and cancer isn't good for your portfolio




What makes you think that housing will flatten out or increase in price?


I am a bear on housing........and I cannot see where the demand is going to come from with current house prices being where they are at.


I could see an argument for lower oil....as the economy is going into a recession. I can see an argument there.....but housing stabilizing?

I'm up 26% on the AAPL calls I bought today. The real deal will be 1PM ET tomorrow. That is when i loose all my money.

Next earnings reports should fix what ails GOOG, AAPL, and RIMM lately. Too long to wait though...

I sure hope so, my other AAPL calls are deep in the shitter. I need a comeback.

AAPL traded oddly today. I only bought a small position at 151/2 because it was trading irradically. It's still open but I'll sell it on another pop.

I got in nicely on GE under 28, had a nice up day, best in a while, finally

damn AAPL is taking a sh*t though, guess that'll be a HOLD for a while

I'm sure this will be considered yet another of my stupid questions, but hopefully no flaming. I know several people have given strong views that the MON,POT, MOS play is over and prices would certainly indicate that. So my questions -- why are the analysts still showing these as strong buys after they've fallen up to 40% (this isn't new -- they had them at strong buys at their peaks also and just never changed it) and secondly, why have they fallen so fair -- people still have to have the chemicals to grow food for consumption, for livestock and to produce whatever is going into ethanol. Despite a recession, people do still eat. Obviously I'm miss something obvious that is going to embarrass me, but any explanation would be greatly appreciated.
