I don't know anyone crazy enough to try being short on a Monday. Isn't that the definition of capitulation?

Its an invisible tax in a couple ways. The "value" of money you are getting becomes less in terms of buying power than you thought, and in addition, you pay taxes, and higher rates of taxes, on the inflation itself in asset prices as you sell and take profits. So as they pump currency and...

Its not significant. We can't avoid buying Made in China stuff anymore because WE DON'T HAVE FACTORIES TO MAKE these things anymore. So as our economy slows, we just buy a little less from them them, that's all. If you were betting on GROWTH, well, that's a different issue.

Where is the opportunity? What might go up or down significantly? They are saying it happened before. Exactly when so I can look at charts? May 9 – Bloomberg (Warren Giles and Mark Pittman): “ Bank of America Corp. Chief Executive Officer Ken Lewis said a so-called credit bubble is...

Until you get to over $25k at least, I think you should change to a very low or no commission broker. When you are only averaging $30 per trade profit, $13-$16 in and $13-$16 out is effectively 1/2 the profit.

Buffet despises derivatives. He wants to own real things that will be better to own 5 or 10 yrs from now than they are today. He's not trying to gamble. He wants the odds on his side before he places a bet, and he's willing to wait for it to pay off. Its a completely different...

The larger the dollar amount, the more slippage getting in, and the more slippage getting out. Its trouble even in the million share range, which might be in my case 1/3 of a day's volume. It would be BIG trouble when you are talking 10 day's volume or more. Ok, if that's bad, now try...

No, but I wish somebody would make an offer for something I own.

If people and governments can't pay back their debts without having to print money to pay it back with. People had borrowed too much in the 20's and when the Fed tried to tighten, they made it the economy turn downwards. Things going down tend to accelerate quickly, IMO, especially when they...

What baffles me is how they come up with a 50% savings rate if everyone is putting even their rent and tuition money into the stock market? How can that be true if the stock market is not considered savings? Also, don't they have income taxes? Taxes here are almost 50% when you include...

No more corrections ever. Print enough money and everything appears to rise.

You can only increase that money supply as much as you have willing lenders and credit worthy borrowers that want to borrow more. The final alternative, lacking either, is to just print. One of them will occur eventually. History may not repeat, but it will likely rhyme.

Yeah, QID and MZZ this am. Dumped all other stocks.

That's exactly why they won't. They already have asset bubbles everywhere they are pretending not to see...

What are those assets worth when you try to sell them? As long as the money supply keeps increasing, the numbers get larger. Its when people can't or don't want to borrow more that there comes a problem.

LOL, you got the idea. I slice pepperoni so thin it only has 1 side. I did the "0% balance transfer" thing last year. Lately they have a "transaction fee", so I haven't been using them.

If you are trying to short anything, yes its rigged. They print and lend more money every day, so it can't possibly ever go down again.

Lotsa cheap money like gas on the fire... Hedge funds at 250% leverage owning other hedge funds at 250% leverage, and those owning funds of funds at 250% leverage. Works great when everything is going up and money is cheap.

No offense because I like to hear what oothers are trading, but it sure doesn't sound to me like you are "investing". Next time why not title the thread like "Short MA trade", instead. good luck

Maybe the rates the banks pay isn't as high as the rate at which money supply is increasing? Might as well invest in hard assets if you have extra money, otherwise.
