Shades Re: "isolationism" Almost every single poster on these "bear boards" at this website and others all have a feeling in their gut, in their "heart of hearts" that things are headed for some sort of big blow-up. Pick your poison, Hubbert's Peak, Greenspan et al, H5N1, you name it. If they thought that the world was going to continue onward pretty much as it has in the past, with stocks returning 10-12% per year decade after decade then they would be fools to bother with all the trading, at least the high net worth ones would be. Just buy the index and let it compound over the years. But they don't do that do they? I don't either. Its -into gold- out of the dollar- into the yen- back to the dollar, ect. We all, I think have a feeling that the near future may not work out nearly as well as the past decades. And if things really blow up globalism will be the first neck on the chopping block. If things muddle onward pretty much as they have in the recent past then the globalist order of things will continue, for a while. Globalism has to fail sooner or later, I think. Imagine all the fuel required for all the ocean freight and air travel, do you really think that could be provided by ethanol or bio-diesel? I don't think so. Imagine how stupid and wasteful the process is: we import bulky straw hats and stuffed teddy bears and other uneeded junk from the other side of the world and ship the stuff in oil burnings ships which BACKHAUL EMPTY because there is nothing to send. It is crazy. Think about it. Even the optimists have us running out of oil in 30 or 40 years. Yikes, I may not be around then, but I have young children and to them 30 years is nothing. And that is just the energy part. Listen to the lefties. Globalism is fraught with every type of contradiction, social, environmental. You name it. It could end. And it should. Slagle

Shades Re: "DD" I don't know what to make of Phil. This is a Phil pick for sure, a largecap with no trend at all other than a slow downward one. Its back down to where it was in 1996. At least Dupont pays a fairly good divvy. And look at your chart, its just had four down days in a row so its probably ready for a little pop, especially if the market is good tomorrow. But look what he does; he says WAIT til it is 47.25 BEFORE you buy. That is just crazy. Why? Look at the chart. 47.25 would probably be the time to sell, not buy. Could be good for a scalp on the open. Just watch it close because it is in a definite down trend. I tell you a good place for stock ideas. Look in Investors Business Daily and look in the "Stocks on the Move" section. There they list about 20 stocks that have risen on good volume. They also screen them for earnings and float and some other parameters. You will find lots of hot stocks in that list. Slagle
