Well, SA, I agree with 2 out of 3 points you have written, and your conclusion about predictions. #2 however, I do not agree with. While it may happen, and lord help us if it does, I would not be surprised to see another round of dollar strengthening. The only reason the USD is so low at...

I think that was fine advice for the last 30 years but if you go read ed easterling's book you can see that there are historically protracted periods of time when the s&p produces NO real return over 20 years or so. With average P/E ratios still in double digits and Tobin's Q somewhere near...

Concur with above post on stops. Personally like orders that are on the edge of a range to establish a positon in OJ as the thinness can work for your favor in that respect. Then ok to scalp out for a few ticks if no major move. Looking with some criticality at OJ - isn't 50ish the longer...

I'm curious as well to get a different perspective. I'm a fan of Tim Ferriss and have been thinking about doing some income diversification with such a product. Not sure if I'm late to the game, but my needs for income are not excessive, and like your friend has done can be reproduced across...

I subsume myself to your superior wit and intellect. Since there is nothing I can teach you, I need not bother to explain. I resign; you have clearly won the argument. Please post your market calls for us to follow. They would be an excellent indicator, I'm sure.

Well put, and I concur. IMHO the debt deflation and demand destruction issues are so significant that they are dwarfing the otherwise 'hyper' inflationary money supply growth as a result of TARP, bailouts, whatever. Print at 20% but destroy at 25% you are still down 5%. I am still...

Just my opinion here but some of the CEF's are trading at attractive discounts and are showing signs of being slowly bid up and then smacked down hard again on smaller volume. Considering how much people have gotten crushed on these instruments can't blame them. However, only 2 more days for...

Bring back the DMK! Oh wait, the euro is a proxy for the DMK.

You're seriously kidding, right? All that's been happening around us has to do with excessive manipulation of the markets turning the game on its head and violating all the old rules, with new rules being made up by a select few (Cox included) on the fly with little transparency in advance...

Ahhh.. now I know where he got his trading stake back from!

Merry Christmas to all... and to all a good night.

So... which CMO's/CDO's and ABS's are we gonna buy in preparation? Full disclosure: Long RMA & RSF (CMO CEF's)

8/8/08 The opening ceremonies of the beijing olympics, and the same/next day invasion of Georgia by Russia. Thereafter, oil prices began not to hold their lofty reaches any more, and aside from a brief panic spike up, the oil bull was over. It transformed a consolidation into a collapse...

Well, encourages positive population growth, I presume. However, can the child legally remove themselves from the obligation to repay since when the assumed the debt they were under the age of majority?

Without being glib, I seem to remember something about cutting your losses and letting your winners ride. Nice time of year for a tax loss, too.

EMRG- That's huge. Defaults on M.D. Student loans are near-zero. Unbelievable that that's happening. That's beyond huge. And hate to tell you this, but unless you have a $300K trust fund hanging around, you need those loans for med school. Fortunately, your fiancee has you, I presume!

Florida. 1. High end mall. Few discounts. Nobody buying. Few stores had major discounts but looked to be closing. Nobody carrying bags. Jewelers now beginning to discount - 20% off with no interest one year financing. 2. Outlet mall. Major apparel discounts - 50-75% but merchandise...

Hey there - I don't easily have access to this info. Anyone here have experience with Japanese Preferreds over the last decade? Particularly the financials. Overall, how has their performance been?

Considering it seems he has preferentially screwed the american Jewish demographic, Israel might not be the safest place for him. Somebody's gotta have a brother in the Mossad. Paraguay sounds better. I think I posted earlier on him pulling a Ken Lay. Let's see if history repeats.

TKU for the complement. 1. FED intervening directly in markets has the psychological effect of inciting terror into the hearts of traders (particularly market makers). Many moons ago on the floor when the chief trader would scream out "feds in the market" you got ready for big moves. For...
