Google Warns that Reducing “Accidental Clicks” Could Hurt Revenue

This is a big problem. Taking steps to reduce revenue is not something the market wants to hear.

This just shows that Google's business model is flawed. Users don't care about paid search. They want fast and relevant search. I expect a slew of fresh start-ups to come online to challenge Google's search technology.

Once the user base becomes diffuse, Google is toast.

Metals, Agriculture Extremely Overbought

As long as Helicopter Ben and our congress believe that printing money is the answer to our economic problems, commodities are the only place to sit if preserving purchasing power is desired.

Until I hear the Fed and/or congress say that we just have to accept a recession as a beneficial cleansing for past excesses, I will stay in commodities.

Barron's vs. Cramer (Yet Another Round)

Great traders are busy minting money and don't have time to write newspaper columns or jump up and down like a monkey on TV.

Listening to these snake oil salesman is a complete waste of time.

Understanding What Recessions Are

Barry, I think you are severely underestimating the impact that lower interest rates has on money velocity.

T-bill yields at less than 2% means there is no incentive to save money. People will choose to spend the dollars rather than watch the spending power erode in a treasury money market fund.

Also, large amounts of mortgages are being re-set downwards. This is something that nobody is talking about.

When you combine lower debt service costs combined with higher money velocity, we will see a much stronger economy than most believe. The commodities know this while stock and bond investors are wrong.

Wachovia: Lower Rates Are Working

Wachovia doesn't push its garbage on to investors. It keeps all of the garbage for itself.

Herb Sandler sold Golden West at the top of the market and has been laughing his ass off ever since.

Good Old Kenny Boy got hosed real bad.

Timber REIT Potlatch Corp. Can Help Grow Your Portfolio

Looking backwards at the last 5 years average is a big mistake. You're assuming the real estate bubble continues into the future.

LOL!!!

Borders: New Concept Is Excellent

bricks and mortar book retailing is toast. Most Americans are too stupid to read. They veg out on tabloid TV all night.

The few Americans who do read buy their books from Amazon. Borders will be bankrupt by 2011 in my opinion.

Enjoy!

The Government's Homebuilder Bailout Plan May Not Work

it's disgusting to see the government try to prop up the unsustainable rise in home prices by penalizing the responsible savers through devaluation of our currency and negative real interest rates.

Anyone with half a brain would get out of all US dollar cash and put it all into gold/silver and other tangible assets.

We are heading toward a complete breakdown of our currency.

Thank you George Bush and our incompetent congress.

If Cramer likes it, that's good enough for me. I just turn off my thinking cap and blindly follow what Cramer says.

Wall Street Breakfast - Sample Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News by SA Editor Rachael Granby Bank trio becomes duo. Wells Fargo (WFC) will become the largest U.S. bank by branches with its bid for Wachovia (WB), after Citigroup (C) withdrew from compromise negotiations late yesterday on concerns about the quality of some of Wachovia's assets. Wells Fargo, with a bid valued at $11.4B, expects the purchase to be completed by the end of the year, and denies it will have to absorb assets shakier than originally thought. Government considers next steps. As the financial crisis continues to worsen, the U.S. government is considering two dramatic steps to turn around, or at least slow, the damage: guaranteeing billions of dollars in bank debt and temporarily insuring all U.S. bank deposits. The moves, which would mark the government's most extensive intervention to date, are in discussion stages only. Credit stays frozen. As frozen credit markets refuse to thaw, the cost of default protection on corporate bonds reaches new global records amid investor concerns the credit crisis will trigger corporate failures as companies struggle to finance their businesses. Interbank lending remains limited, and borrowing from the Fed's expanded discount window continued its trend of setting new highs every week, as the total daily average rose to $420.2B vs. $367.8B last week.

Better Choices - Cramer's Lightning Round (10/15/08)

by SA Editor Rachael Granby

Stocks discussed in the lightning round session of Jim Cramers Mad Money TV program,
Wednesday, October 15.

Bullish Calls:

Continental Resources (CLR) -- "This is a remarkable decline. All of the high quality ones are down so much, I can't go against it. This is where you pull the trigger.
3M (MMM) -- The moment this stock starts yielding 5%, I'm a buyer. Until then, keep your powder dry.

Bearish Calls:

Computer Sciences (CSC) -- This is a company that was going to be bought, but they passed up the chance. Now I don't want to buy it."
Annaly Mortgage (NLY) -- I think this is a business model that needs to borrow money. Definitively do not buy."
Northrop Grumman (NOC) -- You can't own the defense stocks right now. If I had to own one, I'd look at Lockheed Martin (LMT) with its good dividend.
