    Guaranteed funds with Market return

    California Is On Fire!!!

    More than likely someone who was a) upside down in their mort and wanted out and B) had fire insurance, that lives in the vicinity of where the fires where started. Apparently many didn't have fire insurance and with the mortgage/financial filter it shouldn't be too difficult to narrow down a...

    41 million Americans can't make ends meet

    I'm as pro free markets as the next guy but as someone who lives in the US most of the year I am frankly very pleased that most the people at the bottom of the pile (legal ones anyway) are making $7 instead of $3. Saves me a bunch on personal security if you know what I mean. Seriously can you...

    Capturing A Trend

    You may not be far off in your analysis (with the added "sell us the shares or we keep going until you are delisted", don't think it happens, ask flytiger). I doubt the company itself is involved. Probably a good time to buy right now as they do the same thing in the other direction.

    china in blowoff top

    In hindsight it is easy to say so what. In '99 the prospect of going short with $5Trillion on the sidelines that could have been put to work caused a little more trepidation :) FWIW in the bookstabber book (highly recommended) he posits that the reason that the market imploded in 2000 was...

    china in blowoff top

    Wait until the edict that the Chinese QDII can start investing in Hong Kong. Once some of the premium comes off the Shanghai stocks they won't look as attractive. Doll said that his fund is investing in the China stocks in Hong Kong in anticipation of 30-60B in fresh money coming out of china to...

    Market looks to have double topped...

    All that is happening is that the call buyers of the last few weeks but especially those who bought on mass last week are getting killed and the sellers are laughing at them as usual. Rest of the week they will be laughing at the put buyers who are buying here in hopes the big one is going to hit.

    Anybody else supporting Ron Paul for President '08?

    Things are too good in the US for a man with Ron Paul's principles to be elected. What is ironic is that the coming Depression could be averted by his policies and yet it will take a Depression for Americans to see that they need a man like Ron Paul. I am going to support him so that at least...

    Core Inflation vs. headline inflation #

    Your definition of X left out the biggest variable of all, irrational behavior due to fear and greed of a completely legal nature and the difference between self interest and the coillective interest.
