    Ben Stein on Kudlow: Traders are the devil

    To be fair I think Ben might have been referring to institutional traders... But seriously, anyone who thinks one particular group can influence the market for long is out of their minds( except for Goldman Sachs of course)

    Ben Stein on Kudlow: Traders are the devil

    According to Ben Stein regarding the Socgen debacle, "Traders don't guess, calculate, divine, predict or speculate prices, they manipulate them. They like to form groups to set prices, to manipulate the system." Obviously I don't think there are many Ben Stein supporters on ET, but any...

    Futures is up, is collapse over?

    Except that one day when the upside reversal doesn't come. All the panicking shorts have covered, but the sell off keeps accelerating. I pray on that day I pray on that day I'll be able to see straight enough to flush my long positions.

    Futures is up, is collapse over?

    What universe are you living in? Unemployment rate is at 5%, and if you add in those people who have stopped looking for work or have been looking for more then 6 months, that figure is more like 9.2%. Read your own post, it makes great sense that the Fed is going to cut rates when the economy...

    Curiousity - Where did the subprime losses go to?

    For those sellers who sold houses during the beginning of the sub prime mess, where did they take the money to? Assuming the money hasnt just vaporized, its probably spread out through the economy and then ended up in China, along with billions of other US dollars. At least thats my guess.

    Market down 1.75%, VIX only up 2.02% ?? huh?

    Just an opinion, but maybe low volume + orderly selloff, e.g not hedge fund and quant dumping, but institutional and HNW individuals. Vix usually spikes up when there are high order flows on both sides of the trade.

    AMZN Earnings Play

    if shipping was any indication UPS posted weaker us sales and strong international growth as the reason for the 3.7% growth. It also posted weaker guidance. Given that amzn already ran up 8% it might be a bit risky to buy in for earnings.

    A Heads Up Moment On China

    For an average apartment of 2000 sq feet, usually around 13,000 yuan/month, depending on the location it could go higher or lower. These apartments are very compact, comparable to a studio in the US. For more luxury apartments rent could go as high(or higher) as 150,000 yuan for a 3 bed 2 bath.

    A Heads Up Moment On China

    I own Prime real estate in Shanghai and Hangzhou and I can say from my experience that while prices are astronomical, many people are waiting for a drop. If I tried to sell at current market prices quoted for me, I would get no buyers. Its actually been like that since last year. I own...
