    The Unbelievable Rally

    Simply amazing... Asia Europe Americas I don't recall a single day in the last month when all three were down in a single day. The world markets simply won't go down in a 24 hour period. Amazing.

    Anyone interview with Optiver?

    Nothing can prepare you for the first part of the optiver test. You either have the talent they are looking for or you don't. They test they gave me was a simple arithmetic test, but there were a ton of problems they wanted finished in a very short amount of time. I took the test about 12...

    The S&P 2008 has turned into the Naz 2000

    Nationalize Citi and BAC or die. All your trading accounts will be wiped out. FDIC, SIPC gone. Get busy Treasury or America wakes up poorer.

    The S&P 2008 has turned into the Naz 2000

    It couldn't string two meaningfully positive days together even if it were Mr. Rogers personified.

    Reason for JPY strength?

    Lots of Wall Streeters have an Asian fetish. Since a quarter of them got laid off, guess where they're going? Huge Yen demand.

    Hendry Says Avoid U.S. Stocks During "Depression;" Banks Won't Return for "25 Years&q

    He's fun to watch and probably fun to party with, but I would put my money with Warren Buffett over Hugh Hendry (or Peter Schiff). It's not like Warren hasn't given the American Public and government a lengthy harangue about their profligate ways what he envisioned would be the results. He no...

    MT Mittal

    I put FCX in the same category. 8.42% yield (will fall as earnings diminish, but so will short term treasury yields). Book value at 0.59! Under 60c on the dollar for their assets.

    Chart of the day: HUI vs. GLD

    http://stockcharts.com/c-sc/sc?s=$HUI:GLD&p=W&yr=3&mn=0&dy=0&i=t78357694490&r=8606 This shows the value of gold stocks relative to gold. The band is 200 weekly averages, 4 standard deviations away. The bear market in gold stocks doesn't care about the price of gold. Relentless!

    MT Mittal

    Ok, global slowdown, I know. This is the worldwide leader in steel production. MT has a a PE of 1.98 and a Price/Book of 0.48. Amazing. This is the inverse of internet stock mania. Many decent companies are getting sold at outrageously low valuations.

    Here we go again: death spiral

    The beat goes on. Last hour sell off. Another week of death on the street. Great Depression 2 is happening, albeit swifter. The government response the smarty pants at the Fed and Treasury were so confident would work to buffer the downturn they never saw is clearly not working. They have no...
