-cont. Why doesn't the theory work? Clearly, the theory doesn't work in practice and it may be time that we ditch modern portfolio theory altogether. Surprisingly few academic resources have been dedicated to this subject so far. Yet, our good friend and business partner John Mauldin offers...

-cont. Famous last words Remember the speech was delivered more than a month ahead of the summer meltdown in credit markets. In fact, Mervyn King warned us repeatedly of the dangers lurking in front of us. Most investors just chose to ignore him. Now fast forward a few weeks to the height...

http://www.investorsinsight.com/otb_va_print.aspx?EditionID=601 Introduction This week in Outside the Box, good friend and London business partner Niels C. Jensen further expands upon the fat tail dilemma I recently discussed in my "Black Swan" e-letter and why many of the risk metrics...

Follow the money is what I was always told. So maybe there is some fund profit taking by the masses that is exerting the pressure on this dead bull. I did see some comments today that it isn't just subprime anymore. Prime loans are now going into default en-mass. Not sure if this is...

I am a natural gas trader by profession. Our company rarely ever makes a trade in crude and we do it only when one of our producers wants to hedge. I follow it of course, but not to the degree I do natty. The Btu spread has been decoupled for so long now. As far as oil is concerned, I am...

That was it!! today was the last down day for the markets for the next 30 years! So confident am I, that I just got a 10 million dollar loan on a 5 million dollar home with an ARM using my lawn boy and Tahoe as collateral. I paid the appraisor off to double the value so I could take the other...

This latest parabolic move is the work of the funds exerting their force on the market. The thing about this latest move is that it will pay to be the first large fund player to take profit. The ones that wait will likely lose out on a few dollars of profit as the rush for the exits...

Go Ahead, Make My Day Aunt Millie, Give Me a Bid!! Monday, October 15th, 2007 at 6:28 AM The evaporation of the home as ATM is causing more individuals to dip into 401K plans. I suspect that debt payments and inflationary pressures are a major cause of this, and there is no reason to see any...

How long is it good for?

If you read through it, Goldman is always there. The firm has too much power and influence. This is nothing more than a bailout, and is a disgrace to the system. If this takes place, I hope for masses to walk on their notes after the resets. 75 billion won't make a dent. Bottom line is...

Yeah, those March put losses are just killing me!! Boy, we should all learn a lesson here and listen to Makloda, he is so smart. BTW, really nice breakout to new highs. All this follow through is running me over, I don't know if I can tell which way is up! Bulls are all cheering and...

What will be a scam is if the insiders start to sell-out while company is buying back shares, (provide a premium bid for themselves)

I only trade options, unless a stock is not optionable. I like to define my risk. Using options gives me more room for error on timing, defines max risk, lets me control a trade with far less capital, thus allowing me more working capital to be diversified. To me, options are a far superior...
