The market has been murdered, and yet traders are still latching on to the belief that a coordinated global rate cut will give them a monster rally to sell into. Now, if a lot of people are thinking this, and from the looks of it, that is the case. Just like the bailout plan passing, there...

1000 is coming faster than I expected, this is a freefall, no one wants to hold any risky assets, now is a time for holding cash and protecting assets. There are serious problems that need to be dealt with over the next several years, this is manifesting itself right now.

About a million other investors are waiting for the global easing to push the eject button on their portfolios. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me, fool me 3 times, 4 times, 5 times, 6 times and I am the dumbest trader on the planet. Everyone will sell that blip of a...

Futures are bleeding deep red, Asia is selling off hard, will Bernanke hit the panic button? Its not a matter of if, but when. Many stuck bulls are counting on Ben to bail them out Monday morning. All I'm hearing from the bulls at this stage are 2 things, the market is oversold and...

We are on the edge of panic, traders are right on the edge of total fear. The newspaper articles, the magazine covers, yes, they can be contrarian indicators but are very poor at helping time bottoms. Remember, bottoms occur after panics, not right before them. We have yet to see real panic...

Can't let the market fall after the bailout bill has been passed, it would be bad for confidence! The PPT are jamming the futures as we speak and Bernanke is hovering over the panic button that has 50 bp cut written on it. Don't fight the PPT here, you are going up against trillions of...

I would be SURPRISED if we don't see an intermeeting rate cut by tomorrow. I would be shocked actually if the Fed did nothing. This is turning into panic as I type right now. Bernanke will deliver 50 bps at the short seller's temples by tomorrow, if he didn't, it would almost be done...

Watch for more weakness today, but I don't see 1000 on the cards for the S&P, I do see us getting close to 1100, but the Fed will likely have an intermeeting rate cut if we break the lows from 2 weeks ago, and that will probably keep us floating higher than we should be.

That is what is going on right now. Rumor is that the bill is going to pass, as soon as today. That is the hope levitating the markets here, once the news comes out, what's going to drive the market? Fed rate cuts? More bailouts? Nothing fundamental, just more government intervention. Look...

This market is even weaker than I gave it credit for. Buffet buys a stake in Goldman, the bailout plan will pass any day now, and the market can't rally. The gap up after the bailout plan passes will be the easiest fade in history. There is no way this market makes a move up until after...

True, the commodities side of the trade is the one I have more confidence in. But there are extreme structural reasons for the dollar to be weaker versus the euro, at least over the next few years. In the long run, the euro zone has to make competitive devaluations to keep their export economy...

Hank Paulson is the crack dealer giving out endless hits to Wall Street to keep it high. Can't let it crash! Side effects are skyrocketing inflation!

You can thank Hank Paulson for the resurgence in inflation. The only way to save the banks is to inflate like hell. That is what we are seeing on our screens. Ride the wave higher in commodities, the only way to protect your wealth.

All the commodities are rocketing today, the weak hands have been shaken out, the correction is over, and the bull market continues. At the same time, the dollar counter trend rally is over with a bang, Paulson and his strong dollar policy is the laughingstock of the world. He has nothing on...

Paulson has obvious conflicts of interest, being a former Goldman CEO. The bailout plan did not happen until Goldman stock was getting pounded. You think Lehman Brothers wouldn't have liked to see this bailout 1 week earlier? The guy is now asking for a blank check to buy up all the crap...

1. Long commodities, (oil, gold, etc.) 2. Short dollar/ long euro This trade has both fundamentals behind it and also after the brutal selloff in commodities and the euro, has value behind it. Deflation was never a threat with Paulson and Bernanke on money watch. Their first instinct...

Financial stocks are going bananas, this isn't a free market, this is a witch hunt aganst short sellers. The kitchen sink has been thrown at the credit crisis. What other catalysts are left? Dropping money from helicopters? The Treasury has spent all its bullets and definitely used up...

15 minutes of real fear and that's capitulation? The media is embracing this rally as the bottom, but aside from the time under 1150 which was about 15 minutes, there wasn't much fear. 15 minutes of fame for gold is gone already. Program driven buying when the VIX hit a high level and most...

How do you know that the Fed won't bailout Citigroup if its in trouble? Obviously the Fed has reinforced the mantra, too big to fail. And Citigroup is pretty darn big, makes LEH and Bear combined look like a pip squeak. It will be bailed out if it needs it, whether the public likes it or not...

We now know clearly that the Fed will bailout banks/insurance companies, anybody who will pose a threat to the so-called system. Now the market will focus back on what really matters, future earnings. And that looks horrid. Unemployment is going higher. Consumer can no long access the...
