Pabst: beautiful post... vulture

well, if I had that job, I would decline television interviews, especially since she has a belligerent, arrogant attitude towards anyone who mildly criticizes or questions her opinion...I think that she would be well advised to keep a very low profile...

Vhehn: oops, I apologize. I meant to respond to the Trade4Success post about the economic bears being wrong the majority of the time. I agree with your referenced quote....

lol, sometimes technical analysis is a very dangerous sport...

I dont agree. I think the veterans, like the fellow you referenced from the Fleck article, are just fed up with all the blatant attempts to re-liquefy the markets at every juncture. Fleck, Noland, Gross, Rogers, Soros, etc, etc...have a very good pulse on things because they have been around...

oops, meant the September bond futures...was just looking at the June contract...Essentially, I had a hard time with Taleb's earlier book, which was abstract and extremely math intensive. After reading "Fooled by Randomness" however, it became clear what his message was. When you read a few of...

EXHIBIT A: US03M (May-June, 2003), (June-Aug, 2003):D

I agree that this is a pretty good alternative. SPYders offer a great deal of scalability since they are 1/5th the value of the ES. Therefore, you can hedge yourself across a larger distribution of prices and improve your cost basis. You also have a direct hedge, as opposed to going out to...

The OEX used to be a great contract, but it has fallen on hard times. For a very long duration hedging situation its probably alright, especially if you are going to use scales and hedge going out a number of months. But short term, the liquidity has been junk for quite awhile. Spreads are...

yes, always a great, albeit challenging, read...

I don't really buy into this idea that it was all the media's fault. I am no fan of Clinton, but he was very articulate, a guy with a quick wit and a razor sharp intellect. And yes, I was disgusted with his conduct and all for his impeachment. Back in 2000, when all of the political dirty...

I think a second league, which had the same format as last year, would be a welcome addition. I say this because a couple of other guys that played in the league last year do not like having the defensive players as part of the format. Also, training camp just began, pre-season games are still...

Its actually a bear flag on higher time frame as well. Also failed at the 78.6 retrace of last swing move (i.e 1004 area). Aside from the fact that this market is razor thin and the fact that the bond market has been crashing for more than a month, its disturbing the natural ebb and flow of...

LOL, I remember that well. It was about a year ago and cemented her arrogant reputation. I love how her head bobbles non stop, like a human bobblehead...

Just out of curiosity, I would be interested in knowing what gas prices are in other parts of the country. Here, in Lake County, IL where I live (i.e. 40 minutes north of Chicago) 87 octane unleaded has been averaging between $1.47-$1.57 for the past 3 months or so...In CHicago, however, its...

FWIW, I opted for Major Medical coverage with the highest possible deduction. My guess is that this is probably not something you would be inclined to do, but it does save alot of money. Kind of like buying far OTM puts. Other than that, Marketsurfer's idea seems very solid. I have read...

Another reason this whole deflation argument falls on deaf ears. Between insurane premiums, property taxes, education expenses, food prices, new home sales prices, energy prices, etc, etc...its all runaway inflation. Of course, you can buy a tv, personal computer or some other electronic...

We had a few debates on here late last year about this whole inflation vs deflation argument. Somehow, I think over the course of a few days and many different contributors, we kind of decided that there is a combination of inflation AND deflation at work at the present time. The government...

yes, mucho props to doug noland. I found his weekly column about 1 1/2 years ago, and although from time to time I forget to read it, I find it is always well worth it. I would encourage anyone who is new to Noland to read the speech he gave at the University of Chicago about 6 weeks ago...

uptik, bro...you had your streak...but in the end, all the top dogs fell to the dominant Vultures...Defending champ...yep, thats right dog...
