I knew that I was going to regret that post, but a few comments. I'll readily acknowledge that atticus has a superior fund of knowledge here; most of the rest of the posters do as well. I don't mind admitting that I'm not at your level, while I don't admit to being an idiot on the topic...

There's something so satisfying about having one of those 5 delta options go in the money when it happens... feels like hitting the lottery. Unfortunately, as we all know (or find out), there's a reason its a 5 delta.... I would not be surprised to discover that if I truly accounted all my...

#5 == Ah yes. You noticed that too? I though it had to do with creating inflation to combat deflation. Looks like either the ruse worked and now its going to stabilize, or the cat's completely out of the bad and ruin is now inevitable. Only time will tell, I suppose, as it does seem that...

i want that.

I preferred Roger Moore as an inflation indicator. Maybe we should bring him back, 70's and all being redux and all that?

Why bother to cut rates when you simply increase money supply and velocity of money? The latter is the problem, by the way lately. How to get V to increase? You can do it publicly or do it privately. If you are running the show, its more subtle to do it privately.

I don't disagree with you that there is certainly no fear in piling on the negative corporate news & earnings issues. It unwinds the excesses of the last cycle and may make compliance officers breathe easier. However, that does not imply in itself an immediate turn around is nigh. To DCA...

I guess the trade here is to short the broader market and long the financials or the dow. Other thoughts?

Well. There you have it. Straight from the horse's mouth. I feel much better now. Thanks. :confused:

Hey - can you please post what happened?

Yup. Agreed, but think it rallies harder on short covering of recently initiated shorts b4 it gets ugly. Really expected more of a blip up on the open.

IF you want to spend about 20 minutes checking your FDIC insurance status, go ahead and click the link: http://www.fdic.gov/edie/ I think a bit of armagnac might do the same job for you, but if you want info from the horse's mouth, there you go. OF course, what your deposits are...

Ain't that just the case.

As opposed to having your own nest egg down 30%? What's the worst thing that happens? You blow up your fund, get fired, and become a day trader with your earnings. Dude, at the end of the day you can just walk away. Its only money.

Well stated. How often have all of us been right but too early on macro calls.

Not to put Buylo down, 'cause I've read his posts and don't put him into the idiot/ignore category, but.. I was almost gonna post the same thing Piezoe except didn't want to jinx myself! This market rocks!!! I've been playing it around a 'turning point' strategy where this major support...

India rocks. Our next greatest ally in asia smack dab in the middle between the mideast and china, within walking distance to the 'stans. And with a curious hybrid culture that is sufficiently accepting of western civilization to deserve a seating and the grand table. Note who was...

No question this was 'running the stops', just like yesterday's open. Action in TWM was unreal at the close - down over 7% or so for the day. I wouldn't be surprised if there was even a nice 1% discount to NAV added with that price action. Too lazy to compute it myself, but wouldn't be...

This concept is becoming more mainstream IMHO, surprisingly. No question that it has been maintained in the blogosphere.

Maybe they mean a rally in the S&P when euro denominated.
