Hmm..

900 maybe, but 700 is just a little too extreme!!! Won't happen I think.

The way to calculate unemployment in US has been changed in Volcker's era. In reality, it is much higher than 5.5%.

How about Paulson giving a speech saying "we believe in strong dollar?" again for the umpteenth time :D

My opinion: Quant funds run by the big boys. Notice the pattern similarity, the technicality, time frame. All almost perfect. This is intentional, imho.

Agree. Very premature bottom call.

Absolutely no bailout from gov't I think! But there's an article saying that they're insuring $264 million for Air Force Project. So they're still in business, I suppose. http://www.forbes.com/feeds/ap/2008/07/11/ap5206855.html

This is quite interesting. Major holders as of March 31, 2008 are some of the big boys: GS, MER, BCS, MS. I'm pretty sure they've unloaded IMB before it collapsed, no? http://finance.yahoo.com/q/mh?s=IMB

I've been paying attention to that and today after FRE and FNM news came out, it was just a straight 90 degrees drop. Geeezz..... That is nasty.

Honestly everybody's calling the top in oil including me but now I just won't fight it, although technically USO is showing some bearish divergence. I've been 80% cash since last week. I have a few stocks for long term that I'm gonna keep. Pulled my SDS a last week ... maybe too early, I...

Good choice. I loaded up on DTO.

Now that's a good one!!! :D

You're a bit cocky but I have to admit you've been more right wrong all these times than your bashers :) Except 1 thing - McCain ain't gonna be the next president. There should be a revolt if that ever happens.

Lol... I never thought anybody would mention a Vespa in 2008 :D My dad used it to go to work in the 60's!

I'm gonna make a bet if they increase the margin requirement for oil like they did to wheat, it's gonna go down to $80-ish. But Bush doesn't want that and we already know why.

I think it's already priced in as of April 1 when they estimate 12Billion lost.
