Efficient market hypothesis? What are you doing on a trading forum LOL

Jim "I'm short treasuries since 1988" Rogers shitting his pants by now?

Flashback to 1990 JGB (Japanese Gov Bonds). If this is the right playbook, then this move can go much farther from here.

I'd rather get 0% interest knowing the cash is in ultra safe instruments rather than not seeing my money again thanks to an "enhanced yield" money market fund blowing up.

How can I say this? Japan hiked rates in 1989 before their bubble burst and then waited way too long to cut rates leaving them in a 28 year long maelstrom of anemic economic performance. Inflation is always a lagging indicator, it's not forward looking. Bernanke learned his lesson from the...

I wonder who looks more like a moron now? Jean-Claude "Inflation expectations are still too high" Trichet or Mervyn "No rate cuts until 2010" King? Boy were these guys wrong. In comparison, Bernanke looks like a super genius.

Looking like getting laid and partying will become a privilege of rich kids only :cool:

Hilarious. Cramer wisely closed his fund Dec 31, 2000 and retired with $50m in the muni bonds. He would have been ripped to shreds in 2001 and 2002.

Where were MSFT, CSCO, ORCL and DELL when the SP500 retested 1550 in 2007 after 2000? Old leaders are rarely new leaders.

Looks like they're available to the vast majority of UK retail investors, I'd check with a UK broker “The vast majority of this is locked up with retail investors,” said Diebel. Were the government to call the loans “they would be taking it away from households, rather than banks,” he...

Can you imagine the TV ad? Lloyd Blankfein, walking through Central Park "Come trade with Goldman retail brokerage, only $5.99 per trade!"

Would finally make the pompous asses in London consider joining the Euro :cool:

You're in good company here at Elitetrader then :cool:

I think Buffet bought most of his WFC stake in 1989-1991. It fell to a split adjusted $2 back then. From what I recall from a recent article he sold most of his BAC stake this year and bought more USB and WFC.

Erin Burnett is obsessed with Art Hogan's bottom. Hogan, the market analyst at investment advisor Jefferies & Co., often appears on CNBC's Squawk on the Street, the show Burnett co-hosts with veteran anchor Mark Haines from the CNBC studios at the New York Stock Exchange. Hogan may be...

SP500 PE ratio http://www.newyorkfed.org/research/directors_charts/ipage20.pdf

Found one :cool:

Weak hands? You mean global financial institutions like banks, insurances and pension funds? :cool:

"A minor hiccup in an 18 year bull market" -- Jim Rogers :cool:

I am stating there is no historical evidence that supports arguing against a market bottom based on lower earnings and rising unemployment. I don't presume a bottom is in. Looking at historical evidence, I'd just be careful saying a bottom is impossible (=0.00% probability). Big difference...
