Hope it does. I would love to average back in with a leveraged position if we lose 30%+

I feel like there is a death cross every year or two. Apparently they are usually false alarms. If they were predictive, it would be very easy to lever up and down in order to make 20-30% per annum by sitting back and rarely trading.

Gary Smith trades mutual funds, mostly bond funds such as high yield corporate and municipal high yield funds. He DOES NOT use a lot of technical analysis, so keep that in mind.

stockcharts.com is great for applying TA to mutual funds

They're in the financial doom porn biz. If my income depended on doom porn, I would report a bunch of crazy doom porn.

It seems like it's wealthy parents to support their kids, who turn around and put most of that money back into the economy, than for them to save it.

I have 3 kids and voted no. If a kid believes in Santa Claus, it's too early to start teaching them trading, unless they absolutely want to. However, I would seriously worry if my 5 year old would rather trade than play with friends.

Zerohedge is concerned that something conspiratorial is happening.... What else is new

I have not heard that previously. Could it be a TDA/TOS only issue?

There is a residential real estate etf (REZ), but the volume is pretty low. It more or less tracks REIT's in general, so as the previous poster said, you could short a highly liquid REIT ETF like VNQ or RWR.

I like Bass. China better hope Bass is wrong on their banking crisis prediction.

And I'll pile on by adding if that's really you in the selfie you look like a dork

I am for reasonable infrastructure spending. The problem is that government tends to waste money on bureaucracy and are too politically correct to say that engineering is a more worthy field to support than music history. Also, you couldn't make it "Free" like Bernie is pushing. There has to...

I'm not even commenting on the validity of free education. I'm saying you always have to take the next leap and figure out how to pay for it. Clearly a FTT wouldn't raise even a fraction of the money needed. As for education funding, I would be in favor of further subsidization of CERTAIN...

You like Sanders ideas, but don't like how he would pay for them? I guess that about summarizes people who like Socialism. Everyone wants someone else to be taxed. At the end of the day, you can't make college and health care "free" without taxing EVERYONE.

The restaurant business is pretty low margin usually. If pizza was such a "racket", you would see a lot of rich pizzaria owners. Pizza prices at many of the chain restaurants are comparable or lower in some cases than they were 10-15 years ago. Your employees are usually stealing, food...

Thanks for posting
