    A couple of Hugh Hendry trading ideas

    That's solely from charting, nothing fundamental. So, I'm not really making an argument about why - just sharing what I think. (On the net it's pretty useless, but like you imply: it's interesting to hear why people form their opinions).

    Am I the only one who can't stand Kanye west ??

    Loved that song with the video ft Pamela Anderson where he crashes a rocket. And that song with Estelle, American Boy. Instant classic.

    A couple of Hugh Hendry trading ideas

    Hendry is a cheeky b*stard - which I appreciate :) I think I agree with him on gold. It's bound to break up sooner or later, but I think it might be a year or more away.

    Finally banks said: We can't find enough GOOD places to invest all the money printed!

    Well, when you want to put a political spin on it... Yes, all the banks says that "qualified" applications will get a loan. But that's not the real issue - which is that they have tightened the lending standards. So then the question remains: How tight should lending standards be? 100% for a...

    Railroad Shipping Plunges

    However ship prices have plummeted, and most shipowners are underwater with the banks letting them keep the ships for now as they don't want to become shipowners themselves. And there's a long line of tonnage to be delivered in the next couple of years, a lot with incomplete financing and no...

    WSJ: You won't believe what's in that stimulus bill.

    WSJ is so far to the right that they're now making themselves look plain ridiculous. Of course any kind of govt spending is going to create economic activity and thus contribute to GDP aka "growth" - the holy mantra of economy over the last century. WSJ have an agenda, which is why I on...

    Banks market cap

    I'm not really sure if there's much relevance to the financial sector's weight in the S&P500, as all it tells us is that yes it was a lot higher a few years back. Which is something we all know. Will it continue to drop? Should it be higher? I don't think the relative size of the finance...

    Why USD so strong? How long?

    Here's what I think: Yes, we all know the amount of treasury bills that needs to be printed this year. But there will be massive auctions in the UK and the Euro-zone as well, which means that the USD might not be as affected as one initially might think. Now the JPY on the other hand is...

    The Messiah Speaks, The Market Rallies

    I think the Obama effect is mainly shown in the strength of the dollar. Remember that the USD strengthened as Obama widened the gap to John McCain. So, the world markets might be thinking that if the US is gonna have a shot, it's with him at the helm. Not possible to prove, though.

    Bush news conferance. what a sad delusional out of touch man.

    He's not as moronic as some people like to make him out, probably only about average smart. But the team that surrounded him, boy... W gotta take the fall for the whole crew, but there was plenty of misjudgment and corruption all around.
