Not really. How is the alleged 100-billion-dollars of speculative money spread out in the energies? Is it 100% long? Is it 50% long & 50% short? Is it all in cash? How much is it leveraged? At most, it'll only be a teeny-tiny crisis if anymore meltdowns occur. Stay tuned.

SCRIABINOP23--------Congratulations! You sold the top in the market 6 times so far. Remember, THE MARKET reigns supreme in the end, not fundamentals.

You answered your own question. You have to be focused on executing your "system" based upon the rules that you, yourself, created instead of merely craving to have an open-position on. Otherwise, randomly take a flyer in the eMini-S&P and take a one-tick profit as soon as you possibly can.

Not really. (1) Europe still has to sell their goods to the US in order to remain profitable. (2) European stocks have probably benfited from foreign buying in order to outperform other markets. (3) Europe has had an increasing percentage of public participation which gets more buying power in...

They're not "mispriced". Nobody is giving away free-money in those contracts.

With bigger incentive fees, you want to be sure that you're not investing with people who are willing to get reckless and "swing for the fences right away" and be willing to sacrifice their investors' money in the process if things don't go well. If wealthy people lose money that way, it won't...

It could be extremely bullish if North Korea ends up nuking itself.

Is the $2,000 figure a specific percentage of your account or a "critical price" on the charts? Is it a random choice?

During bear markets, all of the fraud, waste, corruption and garbage get exposed. It can take years to clean it up before the next big bull market can take place.

Not really. "Weak inflows" were met with "weak outflows". The buyers were still more aggressive in their bidding.

Not really. An alternative explanation is that institutional investors are doing more indexation-type trading instead of individual stock-picking. They trade different baskets of stocks on each order ticket instead of a single security. Don't worry. TOBOR, HAL, R2D2 and CYBERDYNE-3000 aren't...

eagle488-----Nick Leeson worked at Barings Bank, not at Barings Hedge Fund. Pension funds allocate very small percentages of their assets to hedge funds. A "blow up" still wouldn't and shouldn't wipe out too much of pension fund's assets.

MSFT, INTC, HD & WMT were included in ~1999. EK, S, BS & MOB were excluded. The index is taking on more of a "technology feel" instead of industrial.

After the Israelis destroy it, there won't be any economic consequences to ponder.

When a hedge fund "blows up", wealthy people are "hurt" by it, not widows and orphans. Nobody will feel any sympathy for those losers. Legislation won't improve performance either.

LONGHORN------If you overlap a gold chart with an Appalachian Coal chart, you won't find much correlation. Australian coal might be a different story.

What he really meant was that if you squeeze coal hard enough, it'll turn into diamonds. Don't confuse it with squeezing lead and hoping to turn it into gold

If the Dow Jones can surge hard above the old all-time high AND close above it on the same day, the old high would be a decent place to place initiating sell-stop orders. It might be good for atleast ~200 points to the downside. We'll see.

Instead of looking at foreign (non-US) markets, look at where the major US indices are trading to get an indication of the market's opening. Now, get back to your New Haven dorm room and finish your English Lit homework.
