Slow Your Roll

All coal related stocks are going to zero, thanks to the Obama EPA. Stop buying them. BBY is dying because they dedicate 25% of their stupid stores to selling CDs and DVDs. HPQ is sucking dick because they bought Maddoff’s tech company. And INTC is lower because its super rich CEO decided to quit 3 years early.

Aside from that, everything is good. For every ANR there is a WNR. As of this second, the market is doing what it should, consolidate a big gain with muted losses.

You need to slow the fuck down and understand that the market doesn’t go down on Turkey Week.

Fucker.

 

NOTE: First read this-

Specialty tea retailer Teavana (TEA), which has recently agreed to be acquired for $620M or $15.50 per share by Starbucks (SBUX), is sliding after a firm with a disclosed short position said the deal could be jeopardized by allegations of consumer fraud at Teavana. Glaucus Research Group claimed in a note to investors earlier today that independent laboratory tests it had commissioned indicated that Teavana’s teas contain pesticides in amounts that exceed regulatory limits set by the U.S. and European Union. According to Glaucus, Teavana’s marketing practices violate federal and state laws against deceptive marketing and the firm believes Starbucks is likely to walk away from the agreed upon deal once the “inevitable” lawsuits against Teavana begin. Glaucus disclosed in its note, “We are short sellers. We are biased…(But) just because we are biased does not mean that we are wrong.” In mid-morning trading, shares of Teavana slid 53c, or 3.43%, to $14.90.

If this is false, those fuckers should be tossed into mobile electric chairs. How bitter and destitute do you have to be to keep writing short sellers stories, AFTER the company was bought out? This shit should not be legal. The deal was done for $15.5, ALL CASH. This looks like free money.

    I like shorting shit just as much as everyone else, but if that shit is false, or the sample size is too small, they deserve to get thrown into a moat.

        Your English and grammar sucks.

        I’ve gone through the amateur Glaucus piece and it is a joke. They only tested 13 samples, and never identified where they were tested or how they were sampled. Then they throw in these bullshit charts proving false claims by TEA’s ‘salespeople’ (probably some 16 yr old at your local mall). Then they claim that Teavana is 368% more expensive per ounce than Tazo, through some apples to oranges comparison of the total average cost of each company’s products.

        Pathetic and desperate.

          to whom?

          your slight on my grammars aside, and generous thanks on patience with my english.

          You fall prey to simple failing. if reports are fake, they loose credulity. A firm has no obligation to trueth, None, only profit mtive, does not matter. Whiners whine like babes in the cribes, when milks been spilt, dont be that, you are not. Father always said.

          Not accuising, fly do it too all the time, but then wins once more. Part of life, be open to it

          No need for personal barbs on your family

    So puts on TEA, since the maximum it can rise against you is to 15.5 ??

    Not so sure on TEA. Deal could still get done, but every acquisition agreement has an out for material adverse changes and/or breaches of reps and warranties. Depends on whether these testing results are bullshit or not. Find it hard to believe they’d concoct such an elaborate lie, although stranger things have happened. The “research report” certainly looks amateurish and full of hyperbole.

    The prep walks are far and few between these days.

    So much manipulation going on at all levels, and its so in your face, and no one is doing anything about it.

    At least back in the DBL days it was hidden, payphone calls etc.

    Fly, btw, those electrci chairs should be tossed into a pool – just becasue !

    I sold my WNR today!
    After including 2 dividends in November, my gain was 12.7%.
    After being up 4.18% today, I couldn’t resist.
    WNR closed at 26.06 today, just yesterday it hit a low of 24.39
    I’ll buy back in on any pullback.

    I’m bearish again. Anybody who has held stocks since November of 2011 or earlier is going to take profits before the end of the year. It’s just madness to hold 10% from all time highs and pay higher taxes next year. We are a hell of a lot higher then we were a year ago and there are a lot of winners out there. The higher we go, the better the selling opportunity.

      Exactly. The “the market doubled” propaganda under the 0 is fucking worthless now. It is called “you can have it”. The left really fucked up this time.

    Tea testing – since impurity limits are low and the testing is imprecise there will be some false positives, say 5%. So, take 300 samples and send them out to different labs in small batches to be tested. You’ll get back 15 positive test results, none of which are actually over the limit.

    I know who is going to have a good Thanksgiving; pirates. Obama’s health care taxes are forcing me to lay off all my beavers and termites.

    You know who fears beavers and termites? It’s pirates with a wooden leg.

    My girlfriend thinks my line of business is stupid. We’ll see what she thinks when I’m forced to become a male gigolo.

    And Greece rears its ugly head once again. IMF threatening to bail on them is they can’t get debt/GDP down to 120%.

    Report says they will not get there without further debt reductions.

    What a mess!

      Hostess is worth more dismantled in pieces. Why buy the whole company, with their pension and culture baggage, when you can just buy the rights to Twinkies, which let’s face it is all anybody wants anyway.

      That and maybe those cupcakes with the swirls…
