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
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...

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.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?
.
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.
...hello to all my new BFF's that made lots of $$$ today!!!
I think in light of my prowess in picking football teams that I will have Mr. K set me up as a day trader...thoughts? 
Glad I didn't buy Joe right before the close I'd be down 2.5% in AH, annualized.... that's....brokeShelly, we are definitely on different wavelengths.

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?

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....hello to all my new BFF's that made lots of $$$ today!!!
