The biggest problem right now I think, is that there really aren't any more bears. You have fake bears, not real bears. Soo... when everyone's in the market, who will you talk into buying to keep the momentum going? I've been waffling back and forth about sentiment myself for the last week...

Blue... that's what I thought too... and just as you made the above call, the market started turning up a bit:P. hehehe Dunno if it will close up, I just thought it was funny:P

Really, the bigger point was how the Iraq war was VERY unpopular at the time with most of the world, and now that the truth about the reasons for war turned out to be Bush's fabrications, are even more unpopular. Over that war, the US became the laughingstock of the world. Perhaps...

Canada refused to send troops. You don't remember the hue and cry? They actually went so far as to harbor our AWOL who didn't believe in the war either, it was quite a stinky: http://www.resisters.ca/resisters_stories.html Actually, a few Eastern European countries claimed they supported the...

Australia sent 2000 troops to Iraq. That's 2000 men. Well over 3000 US servicepeople were killed in Iraq since 2003. I suppose that's support of sorts, it was the same number they committed to Afghanistan, which wasn't technically a 'war'. However, some would not call it support, given the...

Really? And can you name all these nations that supported our war in Iraq besides the UK? And I mean by 'support', sent troops, money and supplies directly to assist in the war in Iraq. With the sole exception of Germany, who the entire time blasted the US administration about the war...

Being able to see the note you respond to without having to open a 2nd window if it's too long to use 'quote' for. I don't know what kind of forum this is, but an easy free one like PHPBB would take you a few minutes to set up, with all the modern forum features most people are used to...

The safest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it in your pocket. ~Kin Hubbard

blue, I don't think you'll get any argument that the market will correct. The argument is when? The reason you get slammed so hard is because you think it will correct NOW. Yet when you present your rationales, you mention things that are future possibilities, and perhaps VERY far in the...

Er... exports? Ok, lets say they want to buy something made in America (the first DVD or CD, so they can make 1,000,000 $.10 cd copies of it to sell for $1 their currency). That DVD costs them $15 USD. If their money were $7.50 yuan, then $15 USD = 112.50 yuan. If their money were $8...

Holy smokes. I just read 9 pages of this thread for the first time (ok, I'm too wound up to sleep), and I cannot believe not one person has explained this. It's the basis for our foreign policy for christs sake, and it is 100% accurate. Let me see if I can explain this more simplistically. A...

Oh... I wouldn't assume that. It's only if they like doing hokey accounting would that be a problem. EFTs are insanely popular, and the thinking behind investing in them is not a bad idea at all. But I think eagle is right on about watching this a bit longer first. I don't think you...

I use a bit of TA... mostly because I know a lot of people use TA. If, for example, a large percentage of the market believes that a double bottom leads to a bull run... then I'm also going to buy the double bottom, because if enough people believe it (and a LOT LOT of people use TA), they're...

Wow. Interesting find! I find the biggest question I have to be... how did they get 1 billion under assets for their ETF's if they're so small that their stock trades on the OTC?? I mean who would buy an ETF run by a company so small?? This is a bit odd too, and I don't understand the...

Um... they announced this like for the last YEAR? Geez, I've even talked about this in posts here over the last month. How did this old news become new news and greeted with such shock? It was one of my speculations, posted here, that China might turn to owning US corporations via our stock...

Infolode... my... that was an Infolode... :P I really have to digest it better, but I have some questions. 1. I know a LOT of people believe that the market can be broken into math equations... the golden sections, fibonacci numbers, the golden ratio, nature, life, art, physics, math are...

ACM you make good points. I post exactly what I think however, and I DO have a hella lot of money on the line to put where my sometimes big mouth is. How would you know that? You don't. It doesn't matter either, I would assume that natural caution would prevent you from following me off a...

Well, I have to admit I'm getting more concerned about the market, and people like Blue make me happier about it. When I first came to this forum, it seemed everyone was bearish. The majority of the threads were top calls, "the S&P will top out at blahblah", and people were bullying bulls, not...

Holy, it wouldn't take 500K shares each... it would only take each of us to hit our orders when there are no sellers willing to sell for the limit price at that moment. Then the price goes up. Then it goes up again if the same convergence occurs again. 100 shares at a time would do it if it were...

You are probably right that predictions are worthless. We all have our own ways of doing things. For me, when people disagree with my ideas, I am forced to think about them. I may not always argue, but I'm thinking. When I see bear calls, whether they appear justified or not, I am always...
