    why does K-fine continue to short financial institutions? why not buy the SKF and get double the value of a short position if she is correct? Reply

    I second the commentator kkin365. What's with Fast Money panelists - one, they mumble their last trade; second, the show kind of have become a soap opera or a debating stage; third, there is too much yelling & screaming (only, "chairwoman" behaves but she does not say much. she only says things when she is asked for her opinion); and lastly, yes the show is for the traders but is that what a big financial channel should be teaching the investors?

    An interesting show where they discuss stocks. Investing is a well diversified long term portfolio. If a small portion is used for buying and selling of stocks - it is call trading. Reply

    Every time, the panelists on Fast Money mumble on final trade -- initially, I thought I was slow to follow them; now, I ten to think that this is deliberate. Thus, I thank you for transcribing their final trades on this post. Excellent service.
    On another point, the "chairwoman,"... seems to hold short positions on financials continuously. Is this (long-term continuous short) common or uncommon?

    NatGas stocks or ETF's could be prime during the next couple of weeks. Reply

    bullspit long term investing is for suckers, your 401k's are used to provide leverage for the company running them so that they can trade and make money and as long as your long term investment matches the index it mimics then they get bonuses and if you lose ,well then you lose but they always win Reply

    Ok, to clarify, Nokia is not a player in the smartphone market in the US.

    The Apple iPhone is not a suitable device for use in a real workplace. You can't receive e-mail in real-time. Their push e-mail is a joke compared to a BB enterprise server. The iPhone may dominate regular users and casual business users, but true business users will stick with the BB and Palm.

    I don't think the Dream will be an underdog for long. HTC currently makes the most powerful Pocket PC's worldwide, and many people have been waiting for an "Android" phone. Too bad this is on T-mobile and not A&T. Reply

    Ok, there is an Android phone. Other than the association with Google, what is supposed to make it special?

    In Q1 2008, according to Gartner, Nokia sold 14.6m smartphones and clearly holds the number 1 spot. The next closest was RIMM with 4.3m units. - Source: Gartner via Washington Post

    To leave Nokia and the Symbian platform out of your report clearly negates any credibility here.

    Nokia and palm are out of the running. I don't give Google or RIM a lot of chance to keep pace with iPhone, either. The devices are more different than they are similar. I do expect Android to be more like iPhone than a simple email/calendar device like RIM or Palm.

    You will be able to browse well on the gphone, but I don't expect it will fit your pocket very well, and I can't imagine having ads on the thing, other than the normal ones when browsing. Maybe that is enough, since that is where Google makes it's only money anyhow.

    Google is great at making a splash within the search realm. Google is NOT at all great at anything else. Let's see what happens in 3 years. Reply

    It seems in its efforts to remain a "premium" brand, Apple has mostly stayed away from getting in the ad business. Sure, they list "top picks" on iTunes, but that's not quite the same thing as displaying another NetFlix ad. Apple knows that ads cheapen products.

    And, just as important, ad revenues are unpredictable. They don't want their stock value tied to the marketing decisions of other companies.
