What all shows do you watch Slagle - it might can help the rest of us here - I have told you all the radio shows I listen too - I have not listened to the stock doctors or wize trade guys - but I think except for those 2 and NPR's motley fool I am getting all the relevant shows - but I watch no TV - what are you watching? Also I tried to read all the news here marumushi.com and click on the business section - it is a good tool. Also I try to read new relevant economic academic papers posted by thomson scientific on thier impact factor and read the BLOGS by the major economists with Phds. Also any audio I can listen too where major economists or analysts are speaking - the www.cfr.org was good and www.project-syndicate.org. I am just getting back on here reading messages since my girlfriend left my life - I see people posting from the capitalstool site - so I guess that is a good one too - but I am already so pressed for time. I am gonna have to cut a few of my info sources.

I don't trust Cramer, he has made some bad picks lately that cost some people money - the radio traders said he should give an apology to people in INSP.

Searching for Cramer here on SI I found a new thread I am going to bookmark - CNBC critique.

I don't like CNBC in general - the women are too beautiful, takes my mind off money and gets my tiny little head buzzing - they are too upbeat and watching it long enough gets me excited and happy and brainwashed and then I don't make smart decisions then - just emotional ones. However I think it can be used to see how they brainwash the masses and invest accordingly.

Read the past 40 messages there on Cramer - I don't like what I am seeing. So I think CRAMER is pumping for whatever nefarious reasons. I have read several reports over on mish's thread that most economists/analysts expect 2 more .25 rate rises. They are saying over there inflation is worse than deflation and I think I agree with that. So expect more inflation fighting by the FED.

You and I know phil is not being 100% honest either, but I think he is looking out for the little guy lots more than Cramer - I think phil has it right when he says they are gonna pump the financials on earnings so they can unload to the sheeple. They will try, wether it goes up or not rests in wether you think the pumpers can still get the sheeple to drink the koolaid - I think so - people are dumb. So for right now I believe GREENIE will raise still but the financials if they have good earnings will bring a shortterm rally.

Your bulls and bears analysis is useful - thanks for taking the time to watch it and share with the rest of us - perhaps they are not pumping it because they are silently accumulating knowing the earnings will be good and they will SELL then - buy the rumor - sell the news right? That could be wild speculation on my dumb guess.

I think you have NAILED it Slagle on their collusion, but remember - I shorted GOOG at 160 and rode it up to 185 so I did lose money and am often wrong, but I am convinced the more we study, learn, experience, and analyze the better traders we will become - Phil has to be one of the best so far - even for his faults - we shall see how good he really is when and if the financials rally. I am all cash right now in my trading account, still holding vanguard short term bonds and vangaurd international value fund. A lot of smart people say we are going lower - if the trend establishes itself I am going to short something, I just don't know what yet - hehe.
