Chuckle.... How true.

Lots of red ink in the external portfolio. A great investor on the internal brk.a investments yes. Watching the external investments as a device to follow does not look so good.

Yes I Like: GE long term Dividends: POM utlilty, MO Master Ltd Partners: EPD, KMP Oil- 3 to 5 year hold, probably too early, but in some: CVX, RDS.A Scaling in slowly and looking for more downside

Can you give some specifics as to what? Thanks

According to ICI, mutual fund redemptions don't always correlate with stock market decllines nor do redemptions drive market price levels. Hmm, I would have thought otherwise. http://www.ici.org/funds/inv/bro_factsaboutfunds_2.html Unfortunately the data is two months in arrears. However...

Failed. Mkt tanking

Southamerica, As I asked on a previous thread, which I did not recieve a specific answer. Based on your observations, what would you specifically do for an investment vehicle as of today? I am sincerely interested in your opinion. What country, what company, what asset class. Thank you.

GE just asked to be added to the banned short sale list. DJ headline

Maria did a good job, though pointless when J Dhru of SnP refused to answer the questions regarding rating agency accountability and timeliness of rating changes. IMO the rating agencies are about worthless for timeliness and accuracy. They get away with this with no aparrent...

Wow, good one. Maria just grilled Jay Dhru from SnP who couldn't or wouldn't answer her straight forward questions on their recent credit ratings and timings.

Good call

Anvil yes, but please check the limited short inventory aviailable first. I believe you can make much more shorting and it's aggravating to have to fire up the IB platform to be assured you can get an avialable short. Otherwise top notch, you betcha.

Thank you Sjfan for your feedback. I appreciate you sharing this. That in order to make an informed decision, additional information beyond the filed statements needs to be gathered and verified before investing. Shouldn't this be readily available and disseminated in some form? After...

Perhaps. Thanks for you feedback. I'm not an accountant. That's why I asked for comments. The issue is that there has not been enough transparancy for downside risk for individual investors and even analysts when relying on 10-k's. I questioned the financial derivatives risk and resreves...

Part of the current financial problem is the SEC's acceptance of GAAP in its present form, the generally accepted accounting standards. 1. GAAP was invented by accountants for the protection of the accounting industry and preferred by the Wall Street firms which it services, IMO. 2. GAAP...

I'm unable to tell if GE is a buy at this point in time. I was intending to enter for a long term hold. Here's the latest investor letter update on their web page. http://www.ge.com/investors/ge_ir_update_09142008.pdf The latest 10-k 2007 financial statement...

Thanks for the observation CaptainObvious. I'm with you. Unbelievable, just watching Mark Mobius of Templeton Asset Management on Bloomberg just now this evening, if I've got this right, that he thinks this may be near the bottom. As of Friday afternoon luckily I'm mostly cashed out...

So true. The imbecille, IMO, was part of THE problem by trying to kill the 2000 market bubble with higher interest rates, then subsequently over reacting with the resultant staglflation by lowering the interest rate by which he singlehandedly created the real estate bubble.
