Equity rally's occur when the market is a good place to park money when compared to alternative investments. Treasuries, commodities, CDs, some currencies, etc. are poor alternatives at a time when the fiscal policy favors massive spending and monetary policy favors low rates. But, I am an...

Guys, It looks like it is all Doom and Gloom from your point of view. If I held the same views, I would be shorting the market like crazy with max. leverage. If you do this, can you let me know. Because I am buying, and I love to buy on the cheap. Just keep the shorts coming. I am waiting...

Yes, stagnation occurred because there was a similar debt/GDP ratio during Hoover's years that had to be worked off, (and it takes time), and there was the same huge gap in wealth distribution, meaning the rich were getting richer and the middle class was getting more in debt. But that would...

If you can't see the obvious differences in policies of different Presidents then I am afraid we have no common plane to speak from. Totally different worlds. I"ll just live in mine. and hopefully you are enjoying yours as much as I am enjoying mine. BTW, there is much hate in mine and I don't...

lol. Let's just say they came to their senses, and realize that commonsense competence together with good will is a better way to go than fear mongering - the hallmark of the Right Wing.

The Shorts are testing the waters. Maybe there is still some money to be made on the downside. Current news continues to be bad, but the market is not reacting in a knee jerk down move. Caution on both sides. I am waiting, watching, and ready to scoop up shares when I see the elephants coming...

I think Obama's plan to place himself into history is pretty simple - To do the Right Thing. It is not that complicated to think about others and to do unto others as they would have them do unto you. I think the plan will work. It is smart, well meaning, and putting the country first, as...

I am not alone. Obama won with the most votes in history and the largest margins since Reagan. People in this country, are ready to come together, work together, and build together again. Anyone who is interested in fear mongering and bringing this country down can just step aside, or go into...

That is what I kind of figured out. I wasn't in the market until Oct. 10, so I have plenty of dry powder. I always consider the fact that I can be wrong, so I don't chase new highs, just cover myself against possible downturns and I make sure that I can cover the worse case. For a while I...

Could be, but I don't expect inflation any time soon, since money velocity has gone south. We'll be lucky if we have inflation. Printing money does not equal inflation, if there is no velocity caused by manic consumer spending. In time, it may come, but gold may underperform equities over...

I agree that greed has no boundaries. But when it comes to scoundrels, no country can beat the U.S.'s financial network. It was all so cute. Especially the way they paid of S&P and Moody's for those crucial AAA ratings. No one in Asia, Europe, or Middle East would have bought this crap, if they...

You do that by putting millions of people back to work. I don't think that Republicans will be back in the White House for two decades. I know that I am being pessimistic (four decades would be better), but sometimes I am forced to face reality.

Not when the whole world is inflating. In case you haven't noticed, the dollar is much stronger. Why? Because everyone is in worse shape than use, because they bought those junk CDS and CDOs from us. We did them in but good.

lol. It is as if the last 10 years and this great Recession never happened. Let's get this straight. Bush and Friends came into office and totally neutered all regulating agencies. You know, created a silly and naive free market. Yes, the world is full of goody-two-shoes. lol. Anyway, this...

But the hedge funds had to put it aside. It is just waiting to be re-invested. So, I'll get it on the upside.

The so-called natural forces is just a way for the thieves and scammers to run away with all of the money. They did it in 1929 under Hoover, and they did it again under the know-nothing (truely so) Bush administration. This is not a academia world which is composed of nice guys taking care of...

All of the money that are in foreign held reserves and the money that was redeemed by institutions that were in hedge funds and other equities that are now sitting in 2% Treasuries and 1% money funds. They will be moving out over the next several months, since 2% is untenable. The pile of money...

I really have no idea, since I do not know how Defense does as well as other industries unless Afghanistan gets out of hand. Hopefully not. In any case, I am into Ultra indices, so if equities inflate, so will the indices.

Not really. Just calmly placing trades on major dips. Pretty irregular - but smart. I don't over commit because I leave open the possibility that I am wrong and that the market may dive. I am way past break even at this point, but I think I will go red again, during the next few days, as a...

Expected with weak volume. The elephants are coming in at a lower point. I am waiting and then will ride with the Bull herd. Higher lows and higher highs. It is the nature of a Bull auction. But the trajectory will continue until the Obama rollout is complete sometime next year.
