The FED does not want foreclosures on a massive scale and a recession brought on by housing.
DO NOT FIGHT THE FED.

Shelly, we are definitely on different wavelengths. I bot some CROCs for myself this summer, but shorted the stock several days ago, when they announced they were "getting into something else" ... womens clothes or some such thing... JOE is going up. as for CROX, look out below.

oh well, CROX was up today, albeit just 32 cents. Now, today being the biggest up day in the markets in the last 4 YEARS, that doesn't seem to be much of a move up.

hmmmmm.... was JOE up today? anyone,
Bueler?


SOLD TO YOU on the CROX - probably an odd lot I'm sure

Those aren't the things I ask Santa for either .................. I don't have a beef with the Fed, but with the rampant fiscal irresponsibility that seems to be standard operating procedure for our banks and governments.

If I can't spend more $ than I have without consequences, why can they?

June 15, 2007 CROX did a 2:1 stock split...pre-split price was $90. Today's close on those shares was $57 and change.

JOE's share price on June 15 was $47.32. Today's close was??? ANYONE? ANYONE? Bueler?

For those with not much time left on the planet, you could have made a quick 10 % on your money this past two weeks with JOE stock. annualized, that works out to...

;)


Which Shelly quoted and replied:
Made more money owning the stock of a company (and taking some profits off the table) that makes plastic shoes--go figure.

I thought your talk of purchasing and selling CROX was within the same time during the two week period when someone mentioned JOE going up 10%. You said you did better in CROX. :dunno: It is easy to find particular periods when any given stock outperforms another. How did you select June15? If that is the date you bought CROX, it is very opposite of the long term, low risk investments which you state you buy into. Help us understand.

Glad I didn't buy Joe right before the close I'd be down 2.5% in AH, annualized.... that's....broke :eek: . Maybe tomorrow it'll go up and I'll wish I was in it, then it'll go down the next day and I'll be glad I wasn't in. On and on ad nauseum. Why not brag on where Joe is on a 5 minute chart rather than waiting a whole day? :dunno:

I agree with you completely....but unfortunately the real world doesn't work that way. The name of the game is to MAKE THE SYSTEM WORK FOR YOU. In capitalism and in a democratic society, elected politicians and markets all want the same thing.......profits, good times and the easy choices to make the most people ( voters and shareholders ) happy. Someday the music will really stop but I think it will be due to an exogenous event, not an economic event. Iran lobbing nukes at Israel will be the end of civilization as we have known it. The real problem facing the world is nuclear proliferation to the crazies.

I think you are being facetious. (sp)? But in the event you are serious, PLEASE RECONSIDER. Successful investing takes many years to learn AND the only way to really learn is to lose money which I think you would not be prepared for. I never day trade but I try to pick my spots, have a good fundamental knowledge of the companies I am interested in, have a macro opinion of the business cycle and the world in general, and then be a contrarian. It is always darkest before the dawn. Especially if you wear a straw hat with a long brim !! ;-)

Alright, Kitty, this was a serious thread. :funn: Instead of having Mr K setting you up as a day trader, I think you should have him set you up with a bottomless bar tab at the pool bar in WC.

Edit- I forgot to add :wave: ;-)
