I really do have an amazing job.  I go to the storied Waldorf Astoria everyday to talk to some of the smartest, famous, beautiful, interesting, hardworking, inspirational, challenging, powerful people in the world. And that's amazing. But it's also very stressful. I feel a lot of pressure.  Sometimes, more than others. And I did just see a commercial for our show on Fox Business -- ... read more

And here's what was pumping at $122 a barrel in my head today: 1. Scale the Wall of Oil 2. Pair Trade: Buy Mortgages; Short Real Estate 3. Visualize NVDA Moving Higher 1. Remember, if you're wanting to short oil, that you want to use any moves in the $120 area to scale into those bets. Don't make a stand. 2. From the record $1.3 billion losses at homebuilder DR Horton to the ... read more

Treasury Lending Facilities, intraday liquidity injections, mortgage contract nullifications, aggressive, even panicked rate cuts. You really think anybody can control all these moving pieces and generate positive results? ... read more

Yahoo should just break itself up instead. This is a company that's had no direction since Semel stupidly decided it wasn't a tech company but should copy media company business models from last century. And today Softee walks away from the Yahoo deal. I'd expected this deal to get done, as I figured Softee would raise its bid. Which they did. But Yang et al, the same geniuses who can't seem ... read more

1. Free Water for $8 2. Softee Bits Better Than Gold 3. Whoopi! Sell Google 1. I just want to remind everyone who thinks that oil at $120 a barrel is simply a function of supply and demand - This water is free, but you pay $8 a gallon at the bodega for it. People use their money in weird ways, including speculating on an oil bubble at the top, which I still think $120 just might be. 2. ... read more
