    Productivity Growth Slows Sharply

    excellently said. I couldn't write down my thoughts better than this...:cool: By the way, and coincidentally :), there was a new research report on productivity from one of the Feds saying that going forward all is going to be rosy. I will not hold my breath.

    My Litany Of Mistakes - Leaving FAT $$$ on the Table

    seems like you are trading single stocks. well if you think that market is up too much in short time sell index against it (and keep your POS). in other words keep alpha, hedge beta.... I think moral of the story should be do not run risk you do not fell comfortable with - if only I always...

    Carry trade getting out of hand?

    doing carry trade is not about being wealthy but about not being stupid - you were crazy if you did not fund yourself in Yen for the past few years. I will not comment on your "let's kill wealthy people" - you are right - that is below par...

    Is the US bankrupt?

    I do not think smart people need to complement their posts with bragging about how experienced they are, etc. Just stick to what you know and if you are so good you will persuade others. By the way what was the wrong assumption? Bingo - that's exactly what I said in my post. Weak dollar...

    Is the US bankrupt?

    that make no sense to me. Dollar weakness means less dollars into Asia hence less buying (more selling) of Treasuries. The reason why they were buyers recently is not because the dollar is weakening but because it is still strong (from an equilibrium perspective). By the way I do not get why...

    Fed is F@%#ed

    I am not 100% sold on this one - you can "talk the talk" for very long before people start see you are really not that serious about it. The inflation is above their soft limits for how long now? 2 years? and the monetary restriction? There is simply none (sic!). Of course you can always say...

    Fed is F@%#ed

    I think it is not as bad with US savings - people save in stocks and houses rather than under the pillow - and all this IS NOT officially counted as savings. Of course higher rates can only help. By the way I do not believe the market will fall - there is simply too much money around and after...

    Fed is F@%#ed

    I think you are right with your analysis above. 3 things though: A. I do not believe that housing will feel impact of hikes that much because by the time they start hiking (say March/May the latest) housing will have the worst behind. B. I do not believe economy is as bad as ISM suggest. Data...

    Usg

    hard work :cool: you unlikely buy stuff like that just one day before it goes up - you stand through the hard times and then - maybe - reward comes... Specifically, I bought this one many moons ago - I was impressed with how management pushes the company through difficult asbestos...
