Forget about foreigners for a minute. What happens to bonds if inflation ticks up just a little. What if oil rises 10 dollars in a week? I believe bonds are factoring a never ending deflation(like Japan) and imo that just isn't going to happen.

Are you long treasuries? I notice you are protecting this position in most of your posts.

Give me a break. Yes, I trade treasuries via TBT. The key word here is TRADE. I am not married to it. I am only agreeing with Warren Buffet on this subject. I believe the jig is up but can change my mind like any trader does. And please get rid of the "put your money where your mouth is"...

I will have to disagree. A bubble is something where the price and conditions are completely out of balance. Bond prices and conditions were out of balance before the big rise in November. Bond prices are now controlled by foreign purchasers. Eventually, the government will have to print the...

Yeah, having tens of billions of dollars and 78 years old. What a horrible place to be. I really don't like his value approach but I will have to agree with his treasury bond stance.

"When the financial history of this decade is written, it will surely speak of the Internet bubble of the late 1990s and the housing bubble of the early 2000s," he went on. "But the U.S. Treasury bond bubble of late 2008 may be regarded as almost equally extraordinary." Its only a matter of...

Watch closely next time. Obama never looks at the camera. He is always moving his head side to side as to avoid looking strait ahead. He is obviously uncomfortable with it or has been coached to avoid it. Weird.

Wouldn't removal of the tax deduction actually raise rents? Since the CPI uses "owner equivalent rent" as its housing price component shouldn't this raise the CPI?

I have a auto service business and when fuel prices went up I raised my prices too. I didn't just raise them a little either. A $75 dollar repair is now $125, for example. I could sense that customer's didn't even blink at the price increase. Maybe people were only relating in terms of how...

The major difference, and it can't be understated, is that our destiny is in other country's hands. Why else would you have the Secretary of State go and beg for money? You are right in that maybe nothing will be different than Japan's problem for the US but if the bonds are not purchased then...

Cable TV, I had to get the DVR and the High Def package. Internet, I got the bundle but my old service had a 60 day cancellation notice! Plus I have a cell card for backup! Cell phone, I had to get the data package. My wife too! Nexflix, I watch movies 3 times a month and still...

Let me get this strait. Does Pete Najarian wants us to buy puts?

We are at a pivotal point now and all anybody has is opinions. So, we either go up from here or down. Sideways doesn't look like a good bet. Only time will tell. However, we are still in a downtrend on the daily charts.

My Discount Broker, lol. Just sign up for the margin account and don't use it if you don't need it. Then the problem is solved.

I appears to me, after looking at a bunch of etf charts, the market as a whole is right on the verge of breaking down big. I am short until the market tells me not to be short.

Supplying goods to the Allies in WWII before the US entered the war. Also, time was a factor.

The fact that we send our Secretary of State to China and she begs them to lend us money you know the jig is up. I have a hard time believing they aren't putting in sell orders this second.

I have used both IB and ameritrade and have never had any problems with the fills with either with 1000 share trades. Everything is very smooth with Quotetracker and ameritrade imo.

Are you shorting gold or XAU?
