$30,000 for a souped up go-kart? No thanks.

I think it was only a matter of time until structural shorts came in to pound the market to give them time to breathe. Now they can cover at more reasonable rates, and it allows the market to progress in a more reasonable manner. Remember, that tomorrow is options expiration friday, and being...

God, I hope so!

Tony - I think the world of ya, because I think that you were just so dead on on the whole long bond thing, but I disagree with you here on the EUR/USD. Seems to me that we may have a significant H&S forming on the weekly chart. While it is probably a foregone conclusion...

Regardless of how you feel about it, with indian equities returning between 1-3% return on a daily basis, you really need to be a bit looney not to participate. Do people not recognize that foreign investments are a hedge against themselves? And that perhaps, if you are honest about your...

John Q. Public has little to no clue about precious metals. Run up has really only been over the last year or so that things have started to get noticed. Strong fundamental issues exist. I think the gold bugs are about to have their day in the sun again, after a long long long dark night...

Or target real assets, like housing. IMHO, I think that the fed wants less to slow down the economy than create inflation to combat deflationary tendencies, and avoid us falling into a japan-style deflationary scenario. I have written about that quite a few times, you can review some of...

My take on this whole process, is that the fed keeps raising in 25bp increments for at least another 2-3 rate hikes over the summer. The CB has targeted asset prices and the economy and is going to keep hiking until things start to look soft, at which time they will stop and then after a while...

Now, in fairness, while I commend the writer on their ability to defer gratification, you need to think about this - Option #1 - purchase a $300 27" regular TV, use it for 3 years, and throw it away. Then, when you have "made it" , buy a $1000 HDTV flatscreen. Option #2 - purchase a $600...

Your argument is persuasive... partly because you've been just so spot on on this run up in the 30 yr yield! In the back of my mind, I suspect that we are moving into a different functioning era due to BSB's inflation targeting. I think he is willing to induce a brief slowdown to see if he...

How did I miss this? This is over a month old. Anyone in mainland china or HK here that feels this is either significant or insignificant? http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2006-03/03/content_4251921.htm

When back testing EOD data, I have also considered this issue. I have often found that taking the reciprocal of the square root of the sample size N is a useful quickie error measurement. I dimly remember the science and statistics behind it; while it isn't perfect, it is valid. For a...

shhh. not supposed to think about that. just buy it.

's ok... can't do the premium thing, sorry! I'm too cheap. And I thought you were from chicago....

umm, not to be rude, but to short?

yields 5.6% on ETF connect, yahoo says 5.7%.

So I'll just note for the group that BGR's nav has been recently rising, while its discount has been dropping. NAV as of 4/11/06 :30.74 Share price today: 26.84 Discount of about 13%, which is close to its max discount ever. Undoubtedly held back by Natural gas, and I'm guessing someone...

Sabre rattling from Condi Rice on CNN However, says they are going to take this before the security council. Suggests a probable coalition forming. Echoes of Bush's summit in Europe back in Feb or so. Ref my prior posts. FYI - interesting possibility that if Iran gets the bomb, it no...

Well, by 2025 I hope to have sold off my china stake for something more lucrative. And, by the way, have you looked at our statistics on similar issues? Makes China's pale by comparison - these people expect nothing; our population demands and can vote for it! Statements such as - shares...
