Most people don't understand that companies like Harley Davidson are trading like financials because they ARE financials. Ford built its cars at a loss and made its margin on the financing. What happens to that model when yiu don't have cheap financing? BTW, Toyota makes its money on the...

He is overly focussed on this one reference point and the fact that they did not cut rates. There are other more recent examples that will tell him things he clearly does not know, e.g. Japan where they DID cut interest rates but did not allow clearing and bank failure to take place (sound...

Until I came to ET I was vigorously opposed to compulsary medication of the insane. Now I'm not so sure.........................

..................also has anyone written/come across a VWAP indicator for DAILY charts - neeed to know what the VWAP is between eg a high and alow on daily chart.

Maxpi, would you be interested in sharing the code? I looked at this and foresaw a huge pain in writing it. Unfortunately none of the commercially available VAP are flexible or right for how I want to use it. I need a VAP indicator that adjusts automatically with the number of bars per...

That is what happens. Chinese belief in a 100 year cycle of war and famine. 100 years is 3 generations - 3rd generation is soft while the people under their yolk or across the border are hard and hungry.

Looks like the syndicates are bidding up pooled interests and public taking notices of tight control of capital stock and intentions of inside operators to advance. Some of these operators loaning to the shorts precipitating a squeeze for which the syndicate at that time unloads large blocks to...

Its been going on for decades. The large banks cartel in all countries play brinkmanship with the Govt (assuming they don't de facto own the govt) knowing that the system and banks can't be allowed to fail. Realpolitik lesson is the banks get what they want.

Yes your point is valid if it relates to my point, there would likely have been pressure from above, where the real money is made, to stretch things as far as possible. I should have clarified more.

Moral Hazard banking so who cares. Anybody been asked to disgorge salary and bonus as a result of all this?

We are not worthy of the great Landis82. I suggest you do some work on yourself. Must be horrible wondering around with your issues. Try something that teaches humility.

"Profit exceeded analysts' estimates at 58 of 101 companies in the S&P 500 that have released first-quarter results so far, even as earnings fell an average 37 percent from a year earlier, according to Bloomberg data." So only just over half exceeded deliberately lowballed guidance. Of those...
