I see what you're saying, and it is possible you are correct and this type of behaviour is occuring. But I also think you need to provide some better evidence other than the DOW recovered 68 points in the final few minutes of trading to call manipulation. I have been hearing people say the...

I would wait to short crude, especially since we're just coming into the summer months. If it climbs to $100 (which I don't think it will) then definitely short. But it's just too risky to short it at this price. Not that it necessarily deserves this price, but speculation could certainly...

Interesting. I would like to read more about this study.

Sometimes simpler is better. Whatever is making you money at the moment - that is the proper strategy.

Not even close. I would argue the opposite actually. Even Kass has turned from bullish to neutral. The proof is in all of the "holy fuck the world is ending" articles you keep showing us.

This is a very serious issue for the USA. If MSFT is going to do this should the increased taxes be implemented, how many other companies will do the same?

Exactly. I thought S2007 would have been all over this article for the opposite reasons he is. It's good news for holders of Walmart stock, but bad news overall.

The simple equation is the less money people have, the more they will go to Walmart. As layoffs continue etc., people will have less money and will therefore be shopping at Walmart instead of some higher end store they used to frequent. It makes perfect sense to me why they are adding jobs if...

He has compared the performance of the ultra short ETF's with that of the underlying securities and has proved they are not correlated, or at least not nearly as much as they should be. He basically says they are good for traders but useless for investors. I don't have a link for you but...

So according to your numbers, the DOW recovered 68 points in the last few minutes of trading. Explain to me how this constitutes manipulation? How exactly does the market get manipulated in such a fashion anyways - lots of money buying at the close? What's the difference between the DOW...

They have if they live in Canada, own stocks in USD, and have all of their cash in CAD. :p

Absolutely. No question in my mind that most would prefer a larger vehicle. If cost wasn't an issue (low gas prices), then fuel efficient vehicles get put on the back burner. But if oil keeps climbing, it's just not worth the cost of gas to drive a guzzling SUV. Disclaimer - I drive a V8...

If this is a long term investment made in January, why do you give a shit where the price is now? Being down $3/share after 5 months on a long term play is nothing to worry about.

The auto market is absolutely trending towards smaller, fuel efficient cars. Where have you been? That being said, if they can make an SUV that is as fuel efficient as a smaller, compact car then yes, people will choose the SUV. With the price of oil still climbing, you will here more and...

My strategy usually consists of a pot odds calculation, and then I use position, player, tells etc. to supplement that information. I know that to go up against a very tight player I need a very good hand regardless of what pot odds are telling me. However if I don't get the pot odds, then I...

Very nice Tryk. What do you think of Stronach's break even in three years, profitable in four prediction? If his plans go smoothly Magna could be a very good longer term play.

Stronach wants Canada to be the leader in electric/hybrid vehicle production but since the stipulation that Opel can't be sold in North America still exists, the plan is not viable. Canada's economy would greatly benefit if Stronach could somehow rid Opel of this clause.

I thought this brand would die given the current trend to small, fuel efficient cars. Seems like a dumb move to keep this brand alive but hey, if there is demand then all the power to them.

I posted this article a while back when it first came out...search for the thread if you want comments on it.

Poker is probably the biggest situation where this happens, more so than the stock market in my opinion. Probably because there is more luck involved. If you don't understand the percentages and risk/reward, you end up attributing every lost hand to bad luck. Winning hands are due to their...
