ironic isn't it? i think it was more the fear of volatility...

i'm half guessing the sons were involved but being a good father and given his age he's gonna try to take all the heat. stuff like this is only going to make hedge funds a dirty word. wonder what the new name for hedge funds will be in the next few years. managed futures are doing good...

i'm a value trader!

as bill gross said recently, past ways to analyze equities are out the window because we were living in a levereged world. i think inflation ramps up and commodities rally over the next couple years until the bond market takes control of interest rates and punishes government spending/corporate...

i think we're gonna hit 1000-1100 before year end. i dont think the fear factor is there yet and there's enough volatility to take the market up to 1100 after hedge fund redemptions finish up

i would say look for a longer term intraday trend and then use tick/1 min charts for your actual entry and exits. trade with the wind at your back because trading costs and short term charts can eat your alive.

all the bright minds will go work for walmart when unemployment hits double digits

lol a joint decision. what turnaround effort are they talking about? i wasn't aware of one...

they've gone through so much trouble to keep their currency low, why the heck would they reverse until their internal economy gets going? they seen what happened to japan in 85... the pressure on the USD will come from the other areas anyways

first off i'm canadian... second off i highly doubt china is stupid enough to shoot themselves in the foot. they will push for the USD to not be the reserve currency of the world, not dump USD to spite the US. china has enough problems now with their own economy to mess with their exports...

gold cycles like other commodities...

pfft, b.comm is all thats needed... maybe a psych degree instead for trading lol

why would china sell the dollar? they're still an exporting nation

good call, there's not much direction on gold currently. i like gold under 700 though

the next great bubble: commodities? if inflation becomes an issue imo, government bond shorts are the place to be and not commodities. 10 year TIPS are dirt cheap. gold could see a move in 2009 much like oil had this year.

ok, i'm bullish on gold. but, what happens in 09/10 when there is so much government debt out there and not enough investing dollars? yields go up making gold unattractive and gold drops like it did in the early 80s. but who knows what happens by the spring of 2009, i'm thinking gold spikes...

deleveraging is forced sales. everything basically drops like it did during the week of oct 24th. carry trade and gold took a nosedive. the next round of deleveraging could be a move towards gold instead of treasuries or another big drop for gold/stocks pushing the usd/jpy below 80. hard...

yes but at what point? there's still a glut of unsold homes and housing prices are still out of whack compared to rents and incomes. lower interest rates haven't lowered mortgage rates...

hmm asset hyperinflation? sounds like an extra chapter for economics textbooks...

thats a tough tough question. imo gold is the commodity of choice. silver should do well at such low levels. alternative energy like nuclear/coal related investments (along the lines of bucy for example) might shine over the next 3 years. i expect another round of deleveraging in 2009 that...
