Karma? That's a new one for me. Other than the philososophical spiritual/relgious base, I've never seen it in the context of investment financials or related to margin. Were they saying that indicators were a lot of people were buying CHSE on margin which they believed was not good (i.e. bad karma) for the stock's appreciation? For you economist types, maybe you can help here. After reading a couple of items and hearing some CNBC analysts, it seems that some believe that the cost of many goods will decrease because many of the components imported from troubled economies will be cheaper for US manufacturers. Thus, the profit margin (in the short term of six months to a year), even with decreased retail prices, will be greater for manufacturers, distributors, and retailers who sell in the US or ship to healthier economies. Also, more people will buy so volume increases. They were talking about durables and items like toys and clothing. BUT, my questions are: 1) Is there a fallacy in that line of thinking? 2) If not, would it apply to a distributor like CHSE?
