"Commercial Real Estate Losses and the Risk to Financial Stability" "Commercial real estate loans made over the last decade - including retail properties, office space, industrial facilities, hotels and apartments - totaling $1.4 trillion will require refinancing in 2011 through 2014...

Interesting to say the least, I get a feeling we're going to fall some more before we get a bounce up. Let's just hope your scale and supports don't get broken or else we go to 5K eh? lol Wouldn't be good. What fibs are you finding work well for the DOW? I have had partial success with...

It looks like we're headed toward 9,700 to me with your charts. Also, how did you develop the 2nd or 3rd support (lowest <b>RED</b> dotted line)? Are you using some sort of Fib. number for the slope or what? The reason I ask: Most supports are drawn with a minimum of at least 3 hits...

<u>Ever heard the street's saying</u>: The market has a big enough stick to teach anyone a lesson. Don't put them on too high a pedestal, for fear they might fall off. ;) -troll

I think something that most everyone overlooked was this: Profit. What does it mean profit? Accounting profit or cash profit? A lot of funds/banks were looking good and making <b>huge</b> amounts of <b>"profit"</b>. But in the end it was all funny money and they failed. Something...

The power of the media? Just goes to show the most lucrative companies are media related companies, fyi*. P.S. It's not worth that price, just say'n. Either that or grab some IPO shares and liquidate on open. -troll

<cough> Death Bonds? << yes, they sure do exist. If you pay an investment manager based on performance, your aligning his incentive with the goal right? What this is: Incentive is death? Interesting....very interesting. -troll

Suffice it to say, it isn't a good scenario. Higher interest rates are going to kill demand and whatever demand there is, is going to pay dearly for buying (interest accumulation). The debt writers are going to have a tough time dealing with all this, especially as it goes up incrementally...

I agree it's never a good thing. But if people want to complain about murder rates and 'danger zones'. Baghdad is upwards of 45 and New Orleans is considered 5th I believe. Let me repeat: New Orleans, USA = 5th. People should be more afraid of home than what's going on in Brazil...

That's fucking nothing compared to my next door neighbor, Ciudad Juarez. "Mexico's volatile border city of Ciudad Juarez has the world's highest murder rate, followed by Caracas, Venezuela, and the US city of New Orleans, a Mexican security watchdog said Wednesday. Ciudad Juarez -- the...

I'll chip in. I'm late to this little thread which is a shame, I love bollinger bands and I could probably trade with them exclusively if I had to. Here's a little secret: Pay attention to the curvature. A lot of people get caught up about touches and bounces and all that, it really...

True but we could see a pullback to the 9,300 range like you drew, get another bounce there. If it does bounce and go up into the 9,600 range, I could see it start looking more like an ' M ' formation starting to form, but way too early to tell. BTW what software are you using to chart...

Looks like an ascending triangle or better yet a wedge. I know it'll reach the target, but what say you? -troll

Didn't I say this was a joke to begin with? GM + Ebay = Fail, again. -troll
