And here we go....

nice call, ivanovich

Ouch. China down 5% yesterday. FXI responding in kind today - down 5.5% at present. Coming into some pretty thin air on the support side... Major support doesn't seem to exist anywhere until 58-60ish. There may be a downtrend support channel starting to form around here but I think...

IMHO, significant that we were unable to penetrate dow's prior high. Bernanke's transparency is being read as lack of knowledge and making the market quite insecure. Also, it seems that he is willing to raise short term rates more than people thought he would be, and competitive hikes by...

Ummm.... I'm fearful. At least until dow under 10000.

Thanks for sharing your opinions. They have been useful. Please let us know when your view changes again. Best, S

Dear god. I actually agree with SA. The world must be coming to an end.

Wondering if this may affect the current risk premium built into gold and oil today. Might be the catalyst that sends gold sub 600 although it does seem somewhat bid at 618 ish, probably down to 615 which is a technical level, and oil at 68. Although I agree a 'false rally' may occur, global...

Starting to lick my chops at the real possibility of sub 600 gold. Interesting how gold is steadily bid up slowly during the day.

Well, that's embarrasing. The two just looked so different back then that I assumed they were not brothers. Shows you how much I know.

Actually, I'm sorry, but you are getting it wrong. A currency such as gold is inherently deflationary. Why? Because it gives value to the currency that can't be easily adjusted without adjusting everyone else's gold backed currencies as well. And, except for what you can mine out of the...

Can't reflate? Try oil....

& especially now that we have that nice base in the middle east called Iraq... very convenient refueling stop for our air force which is the bulk of the striking force. And if we pull out of iraq for a while to do this, and send the country into chaos, only to have to re-occupy it once things...

I had to read that post twice and hit the net for this: http://www.thelongtail.com/about.html My issue with the hypothesis is that the deficits are ultimately callable, and in the calling, the system falls apart. Not sure things are going to be that rosy.

That's the most believable argument put forth so far.

Man, talk about never say die.... this guy just grabs life by the nuts and never lets go! He keeps blowing up but won't give up. That's the lesson. I had some friends who worked for victor back in the 80's & went to the 57th street offices to pick them up for drinks one night. The place...

There are currency baskets and commodities. Both are significant opportunities for diversification. Remember - if you live, work in the US, you are structurally long the USD.

speaking personally, for my non-trading retirement style accounts, I will start to buy the 10 year at 5.75% and start to ladder in on the 30 year at 6%. Will probably split my 30 year holdings between zeroes and coupons with the percentage of zeroes going higher as we approach 8% on the long...

Reason: Bernanke's last rate hike sent the DJIA plunging from 11709 to 10980 for a nice 6% correction, more in multiple other markets. Starting to think that that was more of an 'oops'. CPI and PPI are finally starting to show the effects of oil's protracted run up. Don't be fooled -...

I've checked some of your other posts, and you're apparently not an idiot, so I'll simply point out that the chart has a little red star marked "target" on it, and that it the underlying security is the RYJUX, which is a retail inverse long bond vehicle. Don't know how I can make it clearer...
