Didn't Bernanke leak to Hilsenrath last night that something's coming at the June meeting? http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303918204577448802287653684.html?mod=WSJ_hps_LEFTTopStories Fed can just ease the terms of its dollar swap lines. No need to wait for FOMC for that.

While I thank you for the brevity of your post, you surely realize that this refers to the Husssman-like conversations on this thread about what "the market" is going to be doing over the next decade, and not the day-to-day wiggles. Was it Julian Robertson who said "What do I buy, what do I...

Right! Some folks on this thread are obsessed with "the market" though. Talking about "the market" is a lot of fun when hanging with the crew and all discussion about the Phillies has run down, but does little to make anyone any money.

Dividend growers vs. the S&P 500 ... not a fair fight. http://seekingalpha.com/article/634901-40-dividend-champions-vs-the-s-p-500-30-year-backtest?source=yahoo

Noise about dropping the CHF 1.20 floor ... http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=de&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http://www.20min.ch/finance/dossier/frankenboom/story/11560140

Swiss rates are negative out to 4 years ...

http://georgedorgan.livejournal.com/10650.html I don't know who this guy is, but I remember (in another blog he used to write) some time ago getting a tasty and profitable tidbit from him. He basically writes a blog devoted to the franc and the SNB.

Rumor the SNB is going to do something tonight. One possibility is to take pressure off by lowering the floor to CHF 1.10. Hard to believe they would give up that easily.

Netflix? :confused: http://www.google.com/finance?chdnp=0&chdd=1&chds=1&chdv=1&chvs=Logarithmic&chdeh=0&chfdeh=0&chdet=1338408000000&chddm=40273&chls=IntervalBasedLine&q=NASDAQ:NFLX&ntsp=0...

Ha, love it! Again, I had no idea people pay so much attention. As for being a bond bear, voicing an opinion is far different than holding a position, and I have none. I do own a number of companies, paying me far more than the 10-year Treasury yield on my money. I'll take the higher yield...

Negative yield on German paper doesn't mean a lot. Embedded in their value is a call option on redenomination. Paulson is short Bunds (hope he's still not taking investing advice from Greenspan).

Greece may not even make it to the June 17 elections. Spain is in full-scale economic implosion and financial panic. Stubborness and politics are the only things preventing a massive ECB response at this time. My guess is the ECB (and, let's face it, the Fed) don't want to help out with...

Yes, it's called an election campaign. In other news, ND has overtaken Syriza in the latest poll.

It looks like nothing more than a rumor (Swiss tax). Sounds like someone just wanted to make a few quick bucks.

If the Swiss take action and the ECB takes action as rumor has it they will, this pair is going to CHF 1.25.

EURCHF just popped to 1.2026. Sweet, but it's gotta be a fat finger.:)

DELL ... Tilsoned

I generally don't watch TV shows and wouldn't recognize one prime time offering if it was right in front of my face. I did look for The Wire though, and it wasn't available. The movie selection had nothing, mostly a bunch of B-level, straight to video crap.

NFLX fully Tilsoned. Red on the year. Considering "Whit" doubled down on the shares somewhere around $80-90, he's managed to lose a lot more on the play than if he just bought and took a vacation. I'll add as an aside that we tried the Netflix streaming service and it's worthless. We have...
