The place in US where Employment is less than 1%, house sold within 3 days

Too good to be true 

Will US economy thrive in 2012?

Some small oil booms are expected in US

IF US connects its pipe with Canada, then more jobs could be created.

Well BAC still have USD 1.3 trillion of mortgage related debts (based on mark-to-model)that is currently having thousands of ongoing litigation in the US, mostly due to Countrywide Financials. So the losses is not yet accounted for and may/may not materialise in the future. The balance sheet is very complicated and hard to understand the true picture of the company:stars:

On the plus side it is selling at 0.3x BV and have USD 0.68 trillion in cash. Worth a bet?

QE3 anyone? 

Why so many US banks desperately applying to increase dividend payout and share buy back? Does this mean they see their share price very much undemanding? And they have too much cash already? If they have too much cash, why some of them (citibank) not doing good on stress test? Thank you sifus! 

Waw, no one predicted end of  last year that Dow would hit 13,000 this year.

The market is full of miracles.

From cannot, now everything can.

What a big difference .

Congratulations to those make the profits.

I enter c at 47.00 3 year ago. still making loss.

99.9% of the trade done by big sharks.
Before this was what, $800??

What's next after i -Pad, POD, Phone? No new invention(s).

i-TV is infrastructural framework is already there. I mean inventions [idea stealer] like i-Phong and i-paddy .
its also nothing extra ordinary, infact if you are familiar with HTPC, then its the same sh|t.

No doubt as what u said is valid , which is the FAN will just buy whatever gadget (although its recycle) from Apple.

From a valuation basis, let us see what is a fair price for AAPL

AAPL has a cash of 110billion which is equivalent to $116 per share

AAPL has reported $13.87 and  $12.3 EPS for the first two quarter.

Assuming a very conservative EPS for the next two quarter at $10, would bring AAPL EPS to $46/share.

Assuming a no growth model and a 12 PE ratio, AAPL share will be worth ($46 X 12) + $116 = $668

Remember this price is assuming a no growth model and has a very low conservative EPS for the next two quarter.

If you still have no idea at what rate AAPL is growing, let's look at the sales per quarter.

Sales/Quarter
2009 Q1 $11.88B
2009 Q2 $9.084B
2009 Q3 $9.734B
2009 Q4 $12.207B
2010 Q1 $15.683B
2010 Q2 $13.499B
2010 Q3 $15.700B
2010 Q4 $20.343B
2011 Q1 $26.741B
2011 Q2 $24.677B
2011 Q3 $28.571B
2011 Q4 $28.270B
2012 Q1 $46.333B
2012 Q2 $39.186B
If you notice AAPL has made 80% of the sales in 2011 in the first two quarters of 2012. Digest the info and tell me how much is this company worth?? We are not yet talking about the china potential, and the new product launches. Not to forget Ipad is still in its infancy and has plenty of room to grow.

Let's also look at AAPL  net income which is much more imprressive due to the higher margin recorded in recent quarters. I do not have the Quarterly net income figure so let us look at the annual net income figure.

Net income(annual)
2009 $8.235B
2010 $14.013B
2011 $25.922B
2012(Q1 & Q2) $24.686B

I am not buying for the next two months, macroeconomic factor dont bother me much as long as the company fundamentals stay intact. look at the next 2 - 3 years, i believe it will have an healthy grow. you can go for LEAPS to leverage on your investment as well.

ok, even when are are talking about the next two months. what does a $400 share price mean?? It means there will be a market crash and no other counter will be safe and the only possible trigger will be a greece default, a spain bailout, or a war on iran. Other than that i dont see a $400 share price on AAPL based on the fundamentals.

I am seriously thinking of shorting banking stocks after the talk of greece coalition government failed. Dont have balls to short BAC though, they passed the stress test, not much exposure to european assets, forward PE at 7, price to book ratio 0.37 which is insane meaning you could buy BAC assets at a 60% discount. The only problem with them is that they need to buck up their earnings to justify the share price.

Probably looking at some european banks, maybe BCS  because of their exposure to spain and italian assets.

Bac has cut down a lot of European assets since 2009. The most exposure to the troubled nation is at around 1b which is manageable. The contagion effect which is sth that bac should be worried about.

Research rePort by independent firm written last dec. I trust them more than wall street analyst.

Depends on your ST or LT plan. If you wan to buy n hold, this is at a very attractive price. If u wanna trade then think twice, ST Greece effect n the eurozone breakup possibilities.

This stock is subject to manipulation as traders use super computers to trade bac, this means the stock will b more volatile. It is also the most active stock in NYSE n NASDAQ for quite some time.

Entered some big stocks yesterday. Will collect more.

I'll be trading two stocks tonight. Got 1/2 filled for MPEL yesterday @ 12.
P also got a buy signal. So, I'm going for it. 

Still watching FB.. too many short sellers at the moment. I'm putting an alert for it when it hits $25.

Why? You've already jumped in?

Everyday is a good day for trading at Wallstreet.. as long as the market moves (Up or Down). You can make money.

Still watching FB: 26.79.. new low so far.. still going lower baby.. just a $1.79 more to that $25 level. 

FB's recovery surprised me. Is this part of the stabilization process? Or is it really investors' bottom up fishing? 100x, I'm confused.
