'It appeared that he had "panicked when he realised at some point after 17.04 that he had a short position."' LOL...gotta love those limeys.

Agreed, but there's zero arguement that building homes is much more economically stimulative than just "working off the existing inventory." There's a lower dollar multiplier associated with working off inventory (relative to building), and thus lower velocity. Although it's necessary at this...

This economy won't be back on track until housing starts begin to climb. All of the labor and capital that building employs is the key.

Thanks for all of the input guys/gals. I will explore these options. I want to learn how to program for the sake of self-sufficiency and competitiveness, and I have a ton of ideas/strategies that I want to implement.

LOL. I'd agree with all that. I'm from Dallas, and the gals are crazy hot around here. Dallas is the L.A. of the south. I'm heading down to S.A. this weekend, maybe I'll run into that cochina.

I'm finishing up my last year of B-school, and have become well aware that I need some advanced computer skills beyond the hum-drum stuff that I've done in school thus far. My degree plan is such that I don't have the schedule to fit in a minor in computer science. My question is this: What...

This market has been getting sold hard every 15th trading day, since the 03/09 lows. 03/30, 04/20, 05/07...etc. Pretty solid pattern thus far. Looks like a big selloff (on a relative basis) is due around the ~27th.

POT = correlated to soybeans

I want some of whatever Knapp is smoking. This man needs to be replaced with one of those blind kids from Slumdog Millionaire...as I'm sure they have a bit more foresight than he does. Absurdity.

By David Wilson May 11 (Bloomberg) -- The longest U.S. recession since the Great Depression may have ended last month, according to Barry Knapp, a strategist at Barclays Capital. “We appear to be in the sweet spot of a recovery,” Knapp wrote in a weekly report on May 8. The CHART...

Detroit => The new, New Orleans

Market will undulate, trying to "pick the economic bottom" and sell when it realizes, yet again, that the bottom hasn't occurred. Monetary policy will be reckless, and accomodative. This will make sure that there are some asset prices that are increasing on bank and consumer balance sheets...

Be careful what you wish for.

I can promise you all, with 100% certainty, that Petraus is pushing for a US incursion into Pakistan. The Mush isn't there to grant it to us anymore. We'll have to see what happens in the early fall, after the troop rotations.

Perfect excuse to deploy our troops in Pak'n. The wind down in Iraq troops will hurt our economy, and the military is looking for a place to stuff the extra bodies. Don't think that economics isn't a factor. Bullish on equities, until Al Qaeda detonates one of Pakistans nukes....then things...

Implied sarcasm rarely gets noticed around here. It's like 80% of ETers have autism.

go figure...a real trade rec.

Dude, one word...."CENSUS". :p

Have a look at the chart I provided. On it, you'll see an indicator of mine. Notice the thrusts that are indicative of bottoms that tend to hold for a couple of years. On an historical basis, this indicator has shown the same action for all of the important lows on the S&P, dating back to...
