Hard copy is a repository of liberty.

I dunno lib... Fear of a currency collapse in the states which is (what I think) is fueling this commodity boom to a certain extent won't be going away anytime soon until the US financial system stabilizes, likely after much pain. While there are real issues with EC stability caused by...

I've also noticed that fed min wage hike to $6.55. While in my area, most min wage jobs have paid higher due to a higher cost of living, there are probably plenty of places in the middle states where that is going to represent the first real raise people have had in a long time. In the back...

Wise advice.

Just my opinion: 1. Diversification is nice, but it needs to be a true diversification. Something like what the large ivy endowment funds are doing - direct investment in distressed companies, hedge funds, private placements, bank loans in addition to their securities portfolios...

Thanks for your perspective. Also in TWM & DBA with a tight stop pending tomorrow. Less concerned about getting stopped out than missing a giant move. Nonfarm payroll also out tomorrow. Could be ugly for the buck.

Well, he's probably right longer term. However, it does matter where you get in doesn't it?

Nothing aside from the general topic of india. Tense morning, eh?

Well, I don't think anyone is really surprised by it but the chinindia trade is really two separate trades. India is a partner, china is a competitor. India service based, China production based. I'm simply commenting on it. Seems to me once these foreign markets reach 50% retracements...

Down 3+% overnight. Down 40% since top in January. 10,600 is a 50% retracement. Ouch! Full disclosure: long MAPIX (not MINDX, IFN, or IIF. Phew!) & what's up with mittal being given board membership at golden snacks?

I am beginning to think that you are right, and that these may be wise words of wisdom. We'll see in a few days, won't we?

Do not underestimate Sy. He is more connected than we will ever know.

Tempting as a swing trade, but feels soft. Waiting this one out.

hey... if you can't win, litigate!

If no oil selloff this fall, forget about any rate cuts. Best you can hope for is an inflationary pause in rates.

1. Totalitarian state - govt. couldn't care less about the stock market. Useful tool to keep them distracted, however. Particularly since people with real wealth who matter have diversified and hold other assets (I assume - wouldn't any of us in the same situation?) China really only cares...

I don't trade grains and even I am long the wings here. Ags are this year's mortgage insurer short.

Look - none of this information is new to any of the 'smart money'. The main question is why aren't we lower already? Massive writeoffs, massive cash infusions, its been done. Why aren't we lower? The answer to that question holds the key to the next move. I am at least honest...

Obama is being presented by the media as nothing short of the second coming of JFK. Any negatives - he's teflon. The republicans have been caught off guard by the groundswell of change that not only deep-sixed Romney & Giuliani but caused Huckabee to be a potential early contender. The...
