International Oil Company BP is still ruining the Gulf along with U.S. beaches & shores at this very moment.
Meanwhile, in Kansas City hate radio talker Chris Stigall still exists in another reality. Let's not forget that not so long ago, Stigall was attempting to downplay the BP oil spill disaster. In the first days of the mess he was pitching the BP company line and nearly sounded like one of their corporate execs.
Then the disaster became even worse and so many reactionaries suddenly transformed into environmentalists after chanting "drill, baby, drill" only months earlier.
I had hoped at some point sanity would strike the hate radio talker in much the same way that a moment of clarity led him to dump Mayor Funky like a bad habit after YEARS of defending the guy and his wife's feet.
But no . . .
EXACTLY ONE WEEK AGO TKC TIPSTERS REPORT THAT STIGALL WAS STILL TOUTING BP STOCK AND TALKING UP HIS IDEA TO "BET THE FARM" ON THE COMPANY!!!
It just might have been one of the silliest stock recommendations in local radio history.
Since that time, BP's dividends have taken a hit: "Dividends Like BP’s Look Safe, Until They’re Not"
The company is now nothing more than a political punching bag: "The Shadow of BP’s Stock on Capitol Hill"
And $20 BILLION is just the beginning of what they're going to have to pay out: BP's "$20 Billion Fund Leads Busy Week"
Right now there's hope that the stock could be bottoming out but for the most part the company's fate is in the hands for Obama.
Therefore . . .
SOMEBODY SHOULD REALLY MAKE SURE THERE'S A DISCLAIMER ON STIGALL'S RIGHT WING STOCK RECOMMENDATIONS THAT COULD REALLY LOSE HIS LISTENERS SOME MONEY!!!
Financial geniuses like myself understand that business isn't personal or political . . . It's about nothing more than the bottom line. Attaching silly Conservative values to companies is a fool's game given that outsourcing, hiring of undocumented workers and multi-cultural/mutli-lingual marketing is a staple of any successful global company much to the chagrin of so-called conservatives still stuck in an old-school manufacturing economy mindset.
Furthermore, investing in stocks is all about diversity and Stigall's impulse to "bet the farm" simply reveals that he doesn't have much expertise with money or financial matters. Finally, even the most dimwit day trader knows "never buy on headlines" and BP is doing nothing but producing oil spills and bad ink as of late.
Reactionary hate is fine for drive time chatter but in the world of business Stigall comes off like a hopeless novice. Contrastingly, remember that TKC was noticing all of the Gold Hype long before it started to fund the Glen Beck panic hour.
In any event, there are a great many reasons to ignore a scumbag like Chris Stigall and now the fact that he has revealed his stock picking ignorance provides yet another.
I'D BUY THAT FOR A DOLLAR!
ReplyDeleteWhy do you spend your time listening to that crack pot?
ReplyDeletewhatever. Fake stock picking does not make you an expert T.
ReplyDeleteYa missed the big one, where Russia's president says BP may not survive this.
ReplyDeleteCourse realize that Russia pretty much threw BP out of Moscow and they are drop dead rivals now for oil supply.
But it WAS on Drudge and I can't Imaging the bald one not checking Drudge everyday!
I do wanna thank whoever's keeping tabs on Stigall, since I don't, even when I was driving cross town twice a day.
FInancial advice from Tony. What's next, dating advice?
ReplyDeleteTony, are you a "hate" blogger?
ReplyDelete8:24- Methinks the results of following either from TKC would likely be disastrous...
ReplyDeleteQUICK POLL: If it wasn't for the girlie pictures, would you ever log onto TKC?
ReplyDelete__ yes
-- no
More people read this blog than listen to Stigall. He is sooo pompous it is laughable. Today by god he ranted he would love a debate on energy policy. Just like he welcomed the debate on health care. Did his tiny audience notice that he refuses to debate anyone with a different view point ?
ReplyDeleteDenise Milani is wonder woman.
ReplyDeleteMy vote "no"
ReplyDeleteI would fact check you retard tipster before going on your own rant over something that didn't happen.
ReplyDeleteAs for facts, Dick Channey's former company, Halliburton, is the one doing the drilling (contracted by BP). The Minerals Management Services ten days prior to the explosion, issued a report on Deepwater Horizon; however, it's being kept under raps by the Obama administration.
Interestingly enough, Goldman Sachs, sold off it's stock in BP 10 days before the Horizon accident.
The Obama administrtion has kept States and continues to block States from attempting to clean up or prevent the oil from hitting their beaches.
Bottom line, it was interesting to see how much bullshit you can write over a non-issue. My own personal opinion, is that you heard Chris say something yourself (since that's were you get all you "exclusives" - according to one of my own kicka$$ tipsters) and took it out of context.
BP is responsible for the spill and clean up. They never denied that. They took ownership of it from the beginning. It was an ACCIDENT. BP does not have an ouce of motive to cause a spill, then let it destroy an entire region. The Obama administration has plenty of motives to 1) directly or indirectly allow the accident to occur, and just as many to keep BP and the States from limiting the damage done. WAKE UP AMERICANS... this is not about some local talk show host that Tony has an axe to grind with. This is about AMERICAN lives. Follow the money you bunch of retards. Goldman Sachs sells off all their BP stock, the Mineral Management Services issues a report that's off limits, Obama is slow to respond to this disaster, BP is shaken down for $20billion (like we American's were with TARP), Obama is using this disaster to push through the BIGGEST TAX INCREASE you will ever see in your life time.
thank you, rush. we all feel better now knowing the truth.
ReplyDeletestigall lame.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry for your anguish, Tony.
ReplyDeleteI guess an unrequited bromance must sux, although your observation is a bit ridiculous.
I would no more listen to Stigall for stock tips anymore than I would consult your buddy Kobach for medical advice.
However, as yo' momma is fond of saying, "what goes down must come up."
And that especially applies to the stock market. "Buy low, sell high" has always been the bullish SOP on Wall Street, and in that respect, your unrequited got it right.
It's a big world with lots of oil and much fortune to be made. PB stock is a steal right now, but very soon again, it will be trading at top dollar.
BP will be back to line Obama's pocket and keep him as their numero uno beneficiary of their evil big oil campaign contributions, so he can waive EPA regs and OSHA regs
while the MMS surfs up all the internet porn.
But this is all BP's fault. Right?

ReplyDeleteYou can't handle the truth. you want to sit behind your little computer and think Corporations are bad (big ones usually are) and that the government is going to protect you from all the bad people. Well, 80% of the time, the gov't are the bad people just trying to protect their elite slice of the pie. There is no difference between Obama and Bush. They both did or doing everything they can to line the pockets of their cronies. Where does that leave you and me... always holding the bill... Obama is not the great savior. He is tied to Wall Street, the banks, BP (by virture of the fact that he received the largest campaign contributions from BP than any other candidate), and foreign gov'ts. Either party pits the "small people" against each other, while they meet behind close doors, share a cocktail or two, count their billions, and laugh at us. Bush was all about the money - Big contracts for his buddies... Obama is narcistic, so he's more concerned about power. He wants to be the leader of the global economy. If you read portions of his letter to the G20 nations (is the G20 over your head? sorry), Anyway his letter talks about adjusting the pace of the consolidation (meaning a global goverence) by continuing to pump gov't. money into their economies. Hmmm? Wasn't it Obama that said America was too quick to dictate to other countries. Yet, he is directing the heads of other States on how to run their countries. hmmmmm? Make no mistake about it, Obama doesn't not care about blacks, hispanics (so much for the immigration promise), or any other race. He care about his power. He is the first president who did not start an Address to the America people with "My fellow Americans" hmmmm? Why? because in his mind he is better than all of us. But we know he's not. He's just a multi-racial man who through Affirmative Action was able to manipulate the system and acquire financial backing to secure the most power office in the world.
I would bet dollars to donuts that Goldman Sach's starts buying up BP again when they think it hit bottom. Because it will go up again. Soooo... Goldman Sach's has found yet another way to bend over America and give it to her in the A$$.
ReplyDeleteAs a white man I would just love it if Obama and Eric Holder went after all these rich white bankers and oil tycoons, but they won't because they like the money in their pockets more than doing the right thing. Bottom line... Black, white, brown, yellow... the people in power will always screw the common man.
The picture captures the essence of stigall!! Kudos
