    50% retracement in major commodity prices

    Excellent post! People here on ET seem to ignore the FACT that unit labor costs have been muted.

    Establishing Sell Side Connections

    Gotta route order flow through the people that you want research from. It's pretty basic.

    Bloomberg on BSC Collapse - New

    This article makes some rather naive assumptions, and doesn't even mention the possibility of large institutions buying PUTS to protect their long stock positions. Everyone on the Street was well aware that Bear was the biggest firm on the Street that cleared the hedge-fund community. With...

    This weekend Barron's recommending buying select energy names.

    No, you aren't making sense for the simple reason that the names that were mentioned in the Barron's article have huge "downstream" operations that will benefit from a drop in crude oil. Feel free to check the last earnings statement from XOM and take a look at the dramatic decline in their...

    Sell All Rallies 8-12-2008

    Yet another stupid thread in the TRADING FORUM of ET without one single post that speaks of technical levels, retracements, potential targets via "measured-moves", moving averages on a Daily, Weekly, or Monthly basis, etc. Just keep buying the QID, blah, blah, blah. The economy sucks . . ...

    HUGE (ES, YM,DAX)SELL-OFF tomorrow, August 6th...read here...

    QID trades into the $38.00 handle today. You obviously do not trade based off of technicals . . . and your money management skills are absurd. In fact, I doubt if you really trade at all. And nearly 7,000 posts on ET would seem to confirm that. Does Baron pay you per post?

    erratic ping times

    Yeah . . . Now go back and do a TRACERT after the DOS prompt, inputting the yahoo IP address of 206.190.60.37 and see what HOP shows where the latency is occuring.

    50% retracement in major commodity prices

    July saw the biggest decline in the CRB in 28 years . . . At the very least, I would suggest that there will be some side-ways consolidation and a bit of a retracement.

    Ban The Fed Money Supply Monopoly, Allow Dollars To Trade In The Free Market

    Bernanke had no other choice. He had to replace the worthless collateral with Treasuries to allow the "patient" to remain on life-support and have a chance at recovery. Remember, the magnitude of this "disease" was enormous. Every single Bank was in the hospital and dying of a cancer that...

    Ban The Fed Money Supply Monopoly, Allow Dollars To Trade In The Free Market

    That's because what happens in the ACTUAL market is more often than not, without any correlation whatsoever to economic theory.

    Dropping the Fed Funds to 2.00% has done nothing

    Yawn. I guess you'd rather have everyone stand in line trying to get their money out of all the banks that have become illiquid, ala 1930's Great Depression. How many more banks would be going under this Spring, this Summer, this Year had it not been for the FED exchanging their bad...

    (AP) Oil dips to near $119 on stronger dollar

    Yes, it can. I'd explain it to you, but it would take an Econ. 101A course in order to explain it. Here is a summary that was issued by Goldman Sachs Research Paper back in May of this year: “So is the weaker dollar driving oil prices up or are high oil prices driving the dollar down...

    Why Didnt Russia-georgia Battles Have Any Market Impact Today?

    The problem is, is that the countries of the Caspian Sea region are relatively MINOR world oil and nat-gas producers, who are still struggling with difficult economic and political transitions. I would guess that the region's oil production ( Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, etc ) is somewhere around...

    Lehman says oil prices have peaked

    I would hasten to point out that this is actually bullish . . . The recent COT report on Nat-Gas ( as of Aug. 5th ) actually shows Commercials getting longer, and reducing their short positions. Peak Oil you ask? Matt Simmons is still here . . ...

    HUGE (ES, YM,DAX)SELL-OFF tomorrow, August 6th...read here...

    I guess a stronger Dollar ( due to relative rates in Europe being left unchanged by the ECB and BoE ) doesn't even begin to factor into your thinking in regards to crude oil declining. You say it has to do with a slowing Economy, which doesn't surprise me because it fits "perfectly" with your...

    ron insana

    SAC was one of 13 funds that his Insana Capital ( a fund of funds ) invested in. Probably not that big of a deal that he joined them. He's probably working more as an introducing "broker/marketer" than portfolio manager. I mean, it's really hard to fathom just what kind of VALUE-ADDED...
