I'm responding to REAL data. I'm not trying to bend the market to my perceptions. Economic data is truly horrible. I forgot to add that there are an expected loss of jobs of 70k on Wall Street, and 200k, in the banking sector generally (Bloomberg). If you want to set up your positions...

Good luck to the bulls. The die are cast. Bernanke just put the final nail in the coffin. See ya' on the other side. 1) Jobs 2) Wages 3) Housing values 4) Housing sales 5) Consumer spending 6) Consumer psychology 7) Bank lending requirements 8) Manufacturing data...

Bernanke, in a particularly slimy and weasle-ish way, just told Congress that although he decided to hire Blackrock to deal with the financial crisis (someone tell me again why we need a fed reserve if they have to hire OTHER PRIVATE financial firms), he had no idea how much they would be paid...

BSC got a bid of $106 per share from the Chinese Central Bank.

Omen of collapse of commodity bubble? No? Yes? Bueller? Collapse of the BRIC Trade Paul Kedrosky March 31, 2008 http://seekingalpha.com/article/70573-collapse-of-the-bric-trade With the Brazilian real having its first monthly decline against the U.S. dollar since November, and...

Whether you agree with the Iraq War in concept, execution, or otherwise, or not (I don't for a wide variety of reasons, but support the Afghanistan policy), what does it say about the United States that an American of Arab Ancestry completes the SEAL program, wins a Silver Star for dragging a...

Look to future earnings. If you can accurately and consistently forecast those (and let me know if you can), congratulations, you're a master trader and/or investor. If you can't, any opinion you may hold about the 'value' of currently priced equities may not be too valuable in the...

Not to be jaded or unduly cynical, but just when did his death warrant a dedicated program? I'm seriously asking. Almost any death is unfortunate, and this is especially true of younger people, but still...

I am fairly confident this is the last opportunity to sell on what are undoubtedly short covering rallies. We're likely headed to 1145 on the S&P, and we'll most likely get there by sometime around the June to July period. Commodity stocks will be beaten like a red headed stepchild.

....would buy a 2 year t-note yielding 1.3%, and then pay ordinary interest income tax on it??!!!??? For a whopping 0.91% return??? Before inflation!!!!!!

USD. We'll be in rate hiking cycle before too long in the US. American's will express their discontent with inflation in November.

Your irrationally over-valued pound will soon follow in the dollar's footsteps; only a steeper and deeper decline. Don't worry, though. You can't do anything about it. At least kidney pie and blood sausage will get cheaper, mate.

Thanks. My research skills are showing. ;)

Vytorin and Zetia - the wunderkind drugs that don't work wonders (and may do harm). First. Stocks get hammered, and massive revenue is lost as drugs go bye-bye. Next, bring on the class-action lawsuits. Edit: Ummm, yeah. A 'higher risk of death' is not such a great tagline for...

Remember that article I linked about cholesterol, and how it was unimportant, or nearly so, in the grand scheme of things? Remember how the author said the older statins did reduce heart-related events, but not because they lowered cholesterol, but rather, because they were anti-inflammatory...

Commodities are going to crash. I don't care how fast the BRIC countries are *allegedly* growing. The summer Olympics finale in China this summer will mark the death sentence for all things that hurt when you drop them on your foot.
