    I guessed SNSS would tank hard but GTAT filing BK? $11 to $.75 RTQ.

    Tech analysis would have gotten you out of that stock weeks ago. Preceded by weekly doji. Being Apple supplier is tough job.

    And another trading documentary...

    Capitalist Pig has shut down public access to the investment results. So we'll never know if he broke his eight month losing streak in September. I'm guessing the answer is no. As long CP continues to hold himself out as a financial expert, we will attempt to track his results.

    It's hard to imagine a topic less interesting than the success or failure of a new stock market exchange.

    This is bizarre. Did any of these people read the book? Flash Boys got a 4.4 amaozn rating and Liars Poker received 4.3.

    Reaction to Michael Lewis's book and "60 Minutes" interview

    I just read half of Flash Boys and can't believe how boring pointless and wrong it is. Lewis never asks how it was possible to make $2M/year as a trader for a third tier Wall St firm. Anything that eliminates that job can't be all bad. On the other side, he never quantifies how much money is...

    effect of fed tightening on RE

    are you talking about Blackstone? It's not clear that the business of managing residential properties is a viable. it's not as attractive as managing big apartment buildings. hard to believe hedge funds want to get into that business.

    effect of fed tightening on RE

    isn't that just what banks do? if you're saying that the banks like the optionality of jacking up rents on the REO/loanonwer portfolio, I don't see that. The premise of the "cloud inventory" is that the banks are itching to get the underwater borrowers off the books as soon as breakeven happens...

    If the principal balance is $400,000, then a 200 basis points move in interest rates is $5160/year in the monthly payment.

    effect of fed tightening on RE

    Interesting. That basically confirms my impression that tops defy the flat rate curve for years before rolling over. The current behavior could just mean that we have years to go before this market tops out.

    effect of fed tightening on RE

    From what I've read from real estate agents, buyers tend to be very keyed on the mortgage payment, and from this level, a small move in rates can have a big effect on the payment. If RE markets are anything like other markets, once housing prices start to decline, you might see a lot more...

    effect of fed tightening on RE

    I realize that "Fed tightening" is right up there with "the benefits of flossing" as a topic of discussion, but I wonder what the effect on long term rates would be this time around. Would the market see the tightening as a reason to flatten, because the Fed is moving against inflation? Or would...
