This recesssion will last FOREVER! It's the dreaded never ending recession! It's finally here, we're doomed! Negative GDP is looming!

The economy is nowhere near stable enough to raise rates. The Fed will NOT wait until 3% GDP growth to raise rates...they will raise before that. Right now, with no official positive GDP growth, and no inflation (if anything, deflation is more prevalent), it makes absolutely zero sense for the...

Yet again - why would he raise rates, jeopardizing the recovery, when there are no signs of inflation? Didn't you see the last CPI report?

Just hedge with an investment in BP. And collect a massive 6.6% dividend while you're at it. It will make you feel alot better about rising oil prices.

Very smart point.

You've missed this massive rally AND you're sitting on cash?! I would have at least assumed your capital was tied up in other places. Since you are on the deflation train, why not put some of that cash to work in bonds?

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Recession-has-hit-bottom-cnnm-975315745.html?x=0&sec=topStories&pos=1&asset=&ccode= Yet another report suggesting the worst of the recession is behind us, both globally and in the USA. Surely there must be some truth in all of these independent studies?

It doesn't make sense. Don't try to analyze it. I'm just bored and posting random garbage in garbage threads.

Replacing "devil" with "fuck" would more accurately reflect sayings in my neck of the woods. No need to bring fictional characters into the mix.

So this must mean that the "devil" is more powerful than "god" because he has got his way in this world. If I were the devil, I'd make god my little bitch.

Perhaps a trailing stop might benefit you here. Once the trade has moved enough that you risk giving back gains, throw a trailing stop on there. This will avoid you turning a winner into a loser (to a certain degree at least), and will also let the trade run if price continues to go with you.

The catch here is that the odds of the market ending up exactly flat are very low. I think for all intents and purposes we can assume the market will end either up or down. Out of curiosity, does anyone know where to find data that would show how many exactly flat days there have been...

Very good question. I don't think there is an answer.

You will not see any evidence, because there is no evidence. People just bash Buffett because they are jealous of his money and his respect within the investing community.

Cramer is definitely a maniac, and has certainly been wrong in the past, but if you followed his advice and were bullish these past 4-5 months, you have made alot of money. I know, I know, broken clock syndrome and all that, but the fact remains that he does have some good ideas and does...

Wrong. It's a well known fact that Cramer invests based soley on fundamentals. His show has an "Off the Charts" segment where he brings on chart experts to give opinions based on technicals (don't watch the show, but I do read the recap on thestreet.com). Cramer's wife is the one who brought...

Show me proof that "it's obvious what the fed is doing is only making matters worse." The effects of the fed policy in the future remains to be seen, but as of right now, what have been the adverse effects? What the fed has done is restored confidence. Do you understand what kind of shape the...

HPQ didn't have a bad quarter. Certainly not bad enough to "dash hopes of tech recovery". Beat estimates on profit and sales forecasts. Sales would have risen 4% if it were not for currency fluctuations (and this is after slashing prices). And the best news out of this is their forecast of...

I would think the odds would be better than flipping tails ten times. The odds of flipping tails ten times in a row would be 0.5^10. As a worst case scenario, you have a 50/50 chance of predicting market direction (up or down). If you happen to have some sort of edge, this would bring your...
