Been watching the market. Sideways and strange this week. Glad I got out last week with the profits I had. Further correction is due I think. Uncertainty is hanging. Anyone placing any short positions?

That's a good observation. How many months have you checked your theory? Generally, isn't Friday usually a loser and Monday/Tuesday gainers? I've never had a chance to research what other loser/gainer patterns there are in the investment world's gaming environment. Know any other trends...

FYI. I subscribe to trend-timing service that provides a modest 2 or 3 signals a year at the most. Until Thursday, they've issued a daily "Buy" signal for the last year. Well, since Thursday, it's now a Sell signal. Historically, they've been right 99% of the time and their methods trigger when...

This is off subject but I didn't want to create a new topic when all the investors are obviously in here! I was going to create an Excel spreadsheet for tracking stock trades. Does anyone have a good tool or spreadsheet that does this already? I was looking for one that might calculate average...

Groucho, I researched this stock and found only to pay 8.3% as of 29 Jan. Is there something you are doing with currency that is making it pay higher? How long have you been invested with the stock? later....

So are you saying that most likely before it just straight-up died, that it would probably give strange operational problems? Anyone ever personally experienced or knows someone that had a pump just die without any significant warnings?

Cool...thanks. Keep'em coming if you know anything else. This truck is mainly used for long road trips with family, that's why I'm a little more concerned than I would be normally. On checking the fuel filter--what do I do, remove it and cut it in half with a saw? On the pre-filter screen...

Off the topic...but you gotta hear this. I owned a 89 Suburban and the rear-end gears cracked so I bought a reconditioned one from a junkyard and paid a local ma & pa shop to install it. Got it back, and was visually checking the rear-end in my driveway (crawled up under it). Low and behold, the...

Howdy...I've got a 96 GMC 4x4 1500 Suburban w/ 85K miles. When I start it up, and continually afterwards, there's a mute whining noise coming from the driver side rear quarter panel (only audible from the outside of the truck). The previous owner said someone suggested it was the fuel pump. So...

Z They're a software developer based in Austin,TX. In the tech baloon they were painfully high. I think there's a significant upswing potential to be 15ish in the next 6 months. More than 50% is owned by institutional investors--and they bought'em high. Since they've hung on to them even thru...

I can testify to this stock (IMH)---good stuff. As to LU, I own it to, bought it at around $12 about 3 years ago--and then it tanked and I went down with the ship. I do think it will go back up, or I would have sold it by now. Will probably be mid-twenties within 18 months. If I had less tech...

What I can't understand is how come some 35 foot motorhomes get around the same MPG as a light-duty truck? I think the manufucturers are up to something wacky when a 6,000lb truck can't get 20MPG. Probably they're in bed with the oil producers and refineries. I think my contact is sincere about...

Hello all. First post in these parts. Looks like there's tons of experience present and accounted for. Maybe someone knows the answer to my issue. I'm trying to increase the MPG I get from a 1996 GMC Suburban 5.7L (350cc), 4x4 with 84,500 miles. A friend of mine, who is a do-it-himselfer auto...
