The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself. Friedrich Nietzsche

Longs shall be filled with disgust As fear shall cause portfolios to readjust Until that day when the swarm of hungry shorts Shall be impaled upon the sudden august upthrust Tradernomicon 8:07 :p

Some ISEE investor sentiment updates for fellow insomniacs. <img src="http://elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=1550284" border="0" alt=""><br /></font></p></font></p> Always good to see how the crowd thinks at the extremes. This is from an earlier thread I posted... In...

Interesting quote I pulled off the internet. "In a market like this, every story is a positive one. Any news is good news. It's pretty much taken for granted now that the market is going to go up." - Wall Street Journal, 8/26/87, the day after the 1987 market peak This is VERY different...

Don't forget who owns a large stake in blackstone. Same country that is diversifying away from their us dollar reserves. I read somewhere earlier about speculation china was a major force propping up markets the last few months, with deep pockets to spend.

Zoom in of local region on prior chart overlay. Up to mid 90s. Also, notice both periods started (and volatility peaked) near the bottom of their respective economic recession troughs. <img src="http://elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=1549049" border="0" alt=""><br...

Here's an interesting look at vix and S&P500 from 02- present vs. how it looked for comparable period in 90 to mid 90s, notice the similarities in the vix activity as s&p headed into mid 90s. Also, keep in mind the sudden volatility didn't portend a sudden crash in s&P500, quite the...

Pretty interesting similarities (purely subjective rorschach visual mind you). However, I am having a hard time convincing myself this is the big one. Commercials haven't pulled the plug yet. Get that nagging feeling that this just might be a short term buy here (get those stops in place)...

Nor could NBA 'ever' be fixed. Just make sure to side with the referee on the next bet.:D http://thestartingfive.wordpress.com/2007/07/20/nba-referee-in-game-fixing-scam-with-mafia-oh-my-no/ NBA meme 101

You'd have to go back and see the cover when i originally posted. They updated the cover on the url. Nope, wasn't stoned. And yep, it did go higher than they implied on the cover. In retrospect, perfect contrarian cover. Baudrillard postmodern stuff, you have to go look up philosophy to...

And there you have it .... ebay part deux.

These earnings reports are getting downright bizarre. No news, yet stock soars 5%+ AH, then pulls back down, then halts .... all on no news. Would almost think that would be good news for longs. However, considering ebay went up almost 5% post news, then pulled back down and tanked after good...

Yesterday's game was a high volume tank into earnings on amzn. Shook out longs and sucked in shorts. Today aapl soars on vol into close. Perceived weak stocks get squeezed on ok earnings. Perceived good stocks have been getting hammered on good to great earnings. Will definitely be...

Best statement I've heard from you. Hit the nail on the head with this.

LInksys router worked great, until I decided to buy a card for my new computer. I went through three cards (non linksys) and none worked with it, although they were all supposed to be the same standard. Linksys support not helpful, they kept blaming msft drivers. Finally, I had to use some...

amzn is pretty notorious for running up shorts sky high into earnings, then when actual results come (and shorts have already capitulated), it plummets. P/E is still very high, and even if they meet or slightly exceed .15c, that doesn't bring P/E down to earth by much. This qrtr is also a...

I've seen some debates on EW. Personally, I'm not a fan of EW. I've studied the majority of references available, and I think it falls into the category of rorschach visual proofs, which is not too reliable. That being said, however, I did come across one article that blew my mind and...
