Check out Arch Crawford of http://www.crawfordperspectives.com In late 2002 he made some predictions on TV which I wrote down to keep track of: 2-3 week rally in Jan 03 ending in 3rd week of month Feb 16th an ugly day (may be day US goes to war) mkts to hit year low in March gold mkts...

As Dave has already pointed out Barron's has an interesting edition this week. The title in large print is "The Bull is Back!". But more interestingly (atleast for me) is the subtitle: So say America's upbeat portfolio managers, who see the Dow rising nearly 10% by year end. So its not...

Shhhh! Harry what are you doing bringing up these two guys? Don't you know that can totally mess up the image of the US as an imperialistic monster gobbling up the world?

I can no longer link to their shortable webpage but instead have to go through the clicks to get to that page. I've bookmarked the appropriate page but it always takes me to the home page. :mad:

SARS hasn't "consumed" Toronto. And the WHO's data doesn't jive with yours: http://www.who.int/csr/sarscountry/2003_05_03/en/ Also note the 2702 who recovered (from the 6234 cases). It wasn't "lack of media attention" that caused the disaster in China. It was a little thing called the...

hehe he :D Check out their Guru poll! :p

I apologize for ignorance but what exactly does a clearing firm do? TIA (as opposed to a broker or introducing broker) post script: what I mean is, what exact function does it fulfil? a broker acts as an intermediary to transmit orders to the markets from customers. What does a clearing firm...

And here is the Nasdaq graph showing the 'blip' marking extreme market conditions:

What a day! Yeee-ha! (as candle might say) :p Simply breathtaking! I tip my hat to the longs (surfer and others) and hope they profited handsomely from the bullish convictions expressed beforehand. :) From the bull's point of view, things are hunky dory. The market broke to the upside...

How Consultants can make a difference Last week, we took some friends out to a new restaurant, and noticed that the waiter who took our order carried a spoon in his shirt pocket. It seemed a little strange, but I ignored it. However, when the busboy brought out water and utensils, I...

Now (as of yesterday) it is 849.22 while on Feb/Mar 2002 it reached 854.20 Anyone care to guess what the market did on Feb/Mar 2002? :p

Please keep personal insults out of your posts. They are not tolerated.

The recent action in the market is reminiscent of March 2002 when in similar fashion the VIX was screaming lower everyday in a clear downtrend and in contrast, the Dow just tread water. These two specific market behaviours are very alarming as it means that the usual relationship between...

Two things: 1] Please keep personal matters and irrelevant stuff off this thread as a favour to me. I thank you in advance. 2] Perhaps I should have been a bit more descriptive when I started this journal. It is not my intention to have a journal like others giving specific entry/exit and...

Anyone else caught the small ad in Barrons 2 weeks ago from Eurex-Liffe? I'm trying to find it again in my pile but from what I remember it was about an electronic platform that would include indices as well as commodities that are not traded electronically now. I've tried to search for a...

Excerpt from FT article on VN: I guess Vic doesn't have a sense of humour, or he's misinterpreting WB's words on purpose. What WB said in a PBS special entitled "Warren Buffet Talks Business" was that the airline industry has made no money and tongue in cheek he suggested that a capitalist...

Just curious how Toddo is handling the market right now. IMO we are at an inflection point (to lower) but would be interested in what he thinks now. Has anyone found the Rosetta stone to decode Toddo's writing? :)

Jesse Livermore wrote one book: How to Trade in Stocks: The Livermore Formula for Combining Time, Element and Price. It was published in 1940. The book is very rare and not easily found. There is a version published by Traders Press (sold at Amazon), but that is NOT the original text. If you see...
