How Obama Can Win
Joe Trippi explains John Edwards' brilliant strategy of losing Iowa and getting clobbered in New Hampshire. It's a huge load of BS! ... But why would Edwards drop out? What else does he have to do? And as long as Trippi keeps spinning these scenarios, he keeps getting paid, right? ... P.S.: A respected emailer defends Trippi-- "if his client wants to soldier on, what's he supposed to say? "I know we can't win, but Edwards, the fool, wants to keep fighting?" Trippi knows what they're up against. It's still BS. It seems to me there is a way to soldier on that doesn't involve selling elaborate bogus scenarios. In 2004, I actually bought some of them! ...

When the market falls into a correction, often the leading groups fall harder than most. Such is the case today in the solar-power family, a group of stocks that had been soaring for months. First Solar (FSLR), a leader in the industry, plummeted 17.80 to 212.70 and sliced through its 10-week moving average. SunPower (SPWR) fell 8.62 to 106.5. It had lost its 10-week line Monday. JA Solar (JASO) fell 6.72 to 65.55, but still stood above its 10-week line. Suntech Power Holdings (STP) slid 8.33 to 66.77.

Words from the wise for the week
And I am proud to say he is my South African partner. John Mauldin, Editor Outside the Box Words from the wise for the week that was (Jan 14 - 20, 2008) by Prieur du Plessis January 20, 2008 The stock market continued its downward trajectory during the past week, experiencing wild swings on the back of a barrage of bad news in the financial sector, and ongoing concerns about the housing and credit markets weighing on investor sentiment. This prompted Bill King (The King Report) to raise the following questions about Fed chairman Ben Bernanke's troubled facial expression: "How dreadful has sentiment about the economy and financial system become? If one picture is worth a thousand words, what are two pictures worth?" Bernanke's testimony before a congressional committee on Thursday reaffirmed the market's worries about the health of the economy.
