Interesting. He must be looking at the Bradley turn date. Wait to buy. If we get to S&P 600, the rally might only go up to about where we are now.

Maybe it's just that it's all a cycle and none of the systems are perfect and have a tendency to break down. I am of that opinion anyway, there's going to be flaws in everything and time's going to magnify them and eventually they'll ruin the whole system. Kind of like our bodies or a car or...

I thought the auto execs were already bending over for Congress? Ohhh, I see they have to be a lot cuter :)

It wasn't a flight to anything today (although I do believe the S&P is in for a new low). Bernanke said the Fed's going to start buying treasuries, so they went up understandably. I've read about quantitative easing. I'm still a little confused. Can someone explain to me how the Fed has...

MrDODGE, it gave it away to me, but some others on that blog were reacting to it like it was real, so I thought I'd point out it was fake just in case.

dumb mother, they're just hedging against the bond becoming worthless, so shorting one of the treasury bonds is betting that they are right.

Someone else posted this on a blog I read. It's a fake story. It wasn't on the wire anywhere, and I think (judging by the date) was meant to be a joke.

short&naked, I don't see how you can apply the birth rate of the US to the commodity asset class, since it's global. Do you have a world chart?

Chart's starting to look like a classic pump and dump to me, I'd wait a little while even if you think they'll survive. ETA: I meant, I'd wait if it's a long-term investment, if it's short-term, I can't say exactly how far the momentum has left to go, but it's getting stretched, I think there...

What's really sickening to me are the conservation payments. You are paid to not farm the land. And, last year, they actually did let you collect hay from the "unfarmed" land since there was a shortage of hay.

You don't think it's just Thanksgiving BS like Oscar was talking about in his last video (he had a new one on Sunday night)? He was also thinking there was some bad news lurking around the corner, though, too, and instead we had sort-of good news, though.

It seems in this rally the weak names are rallying more than the strong names. I think it means it's a bounce and not a bottom. We'll see.

Maybe Paulson is just putting in a stopgap measure before he goes to Congress for the next $350 billion? http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122747905110751527.html

Sorry, had to lighten things up a bit: http://www.theonion.com/content/video/in_the_know_should_the_government

I'll be trading :p Just trying to point out that it might not sink straight to 723, since the video was before the latest downward move and he said Thanksgiving week will be choppy.

Yes, but take a look at the put options. 2.5 put has a higher volume than anything.

Just wanted people to know this video is from Nov 20, and Oscar clearly states *not* to trade if possible during the Thanksgiving week because it will chop you to pieces.

Someone posted this on another thread a while ago and it helped me quite a bit. It's an article about how to boost your willpower: http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/12/06/how-to-boost-your-willpower/ Turns out that your willpower is better when your blood sugar is higher. I find that...

Wouldn't this be a better representation? https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2187rank.html Countries ranked by current account balance. US is dead last by account balance. China, Germany, Japan, Saudi Arabia are the top 4.

I was just trying to plan contingencies in case the shit hit the fan rather quickly with Citi and I wasn't even comfortable initiating a wire that goes through them. I'd probably want to quickly put my money in something at IB that would ensure the SIPC insurance would full cover me (so...
