Can't lose with Blanky!

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 11 Bonnie Brown was fresh from a nasty divorce in 1999, living with her sister and uncertain of her future. On a lark, she answered an ad for an in-house masseuse at Google, then a Silicon Valley start-up with 40 employees. She was offered the part-time job, which started...

Interesting we're only 8% off all time highs and people are starting to wet their pants. Very good.

Just like Rogers he's an investor, not a trader. Timing has never been their strength, I guess they're just whores to the media making these predictions so they get free airtime promoting their funds/books etc.

Oh of course we rallied because of the cut. But S27027 was saying that without the cut we'd trading at Dow 12000 (or whatever). That's about as astute as me saying "WITHOUT SUBPRIME WE'D BE TRADING AT DOW 16,000 NOW". That's all hubris. The cut is what it is and subprime is what it is. Any...

There were severe selloffs in many leading sectors in early/mid August. Depends on what you look at. Oils, Agricultural, Industrials, Mining/Commodities, Financials, REITs all got a solid hair cut. Tech fared a lot better back then. That's why everybody piled into it as a "safe haven" in...

Did you fade his August 15 call for a medium term bottom? Say what you will, I like Biggs a lot. His hedge fund Traxis Partners manages around $2bln, this guy is not a fluke. I can wholeheartedly recommend his book "Hedgehogging". Very interesting read, well worth the money and time.

Yea August 2007 feels like it was ages ago :p

LOL What a ridiculous analysis. You have no idea what you're talking about.

Another "great" day for the index :(

Can somebody confirm this? Will this effectively STOP your broker deducting the withholding tax on US dividends or will it only enable you to "reclaim" those taxes paid in the US with your home tax authority?

How is security a pain? I have two accounts with IB and use 2 security PIN devices. Works perfectly. Nothing to complain about.

Buying a stock that is down 50% on the day just because its "down too much" is just as dumb and amateurish as shorting any of the momentum stuff that is "up too much".

Looks like another nerve wrecking day for the momo crew. AAPL RIMM GOOG BIDU FWLT CROX VMW ISRG all getting slaughtered on my screen.

Don't mess with Blanky. This guy is golfing every weekend with his old buddy Paulson exchanging a few piece of "vital mutually beneficial information" along the way. Old buddies go a long way, I wouldn't bet against Blankfein:

Yawn. If you were trading with real money you wouldn't be making such predictions.

Who expects markets to act in a logical manner?

Better safe than sorry.

So what's the solution for all the middle class Americans? Should the Fed jack up interest rates up 10%, so all homebuilders and lenders go bankrupt, so hell breaks lose in all industrials, so banks accumulate more bad debt? A sweet 2-3 years of recession with millions of jobs lost, forever...

Excuse me, but the dollar (and oil respectively) started their moves 4-5 years ago. It's not like this happened overnight.
