In a polite way- so what? Even the staunchest of bulls must be expecting some sort of correction (10-20%) after a +50% move up from the lows. Why over complicate something with lots of colors?

I do like coming to this site to read articles that people find that I don't have the time to. However, I have to admit to being surprised by the way people post and then kinda use the artcile as some "proof" of future market/sector direction. For many years, I was always lead to believe...

I guess you're saying that's wrong then for people who are prepared to take a long term view?? I know BRK stock fell 45% from March 99 to March 00. If you're right, and stockholders sold out because of this short term performance, they'd have missed 265% increase since then. Surely for...

I don't think Ken Fisher will be to worried by the comments ANYONE makes in any forum, newspaper, mag etc about his investing ability. He tends to forecast pretty well in bull and bear markets. Nobody is right all of the time. Some of his bigger calls; Sept 89 - Japanese market is about...

Thurgood Surely you've put together that dossier of evidence by now!!! Please hurry up. I need to be enlighted... :D

Blimey! The SPX fell today, almost 1%. Wow, it's back down at those mid Feb levels I mentioned a couple of days ago. Disaster. Seriously, can you hurry up and elaborate on those bigger picture points that are going to cause the collapse/bear/ whatever you want to call it. I've got to...

Love that, so true.

I'm sure you are right. What surprised me when this all broke was that this is the first time banks have ever lost money through poor judgement/greed etc..... Still, I'm sure they've learned their lesson and such mistakes will never happen again.

Well I sure hope you sold out of RBS a while back, they are down about 60% you know.

You do know he wasn't a real person, only a character in a movie, don' t you? If you're right, I hope the american dream, sorry nightmare, continues for the next 100 years as well. I certainly hope somebody over there keeps working on technologies that will one day let me fly like superman...

Mmmmmmm Let's think about this for a second. RBS, one of the worst hit banks in the UK over sub prime is making market predictions and some people agree with them. If they were any good at predicting, surely they wouldn't have got into such major problems in the first place, right?

YES PLEASE!! I thought this site was for traders ( forget the elite part for the moment). Houses aren't really an asset class that are traded in the way that the majority here would understand trading. My last comments on this site back in mid Feb in this and other threads were along the...

I understand your point and agree with your sentiment slightly but the numbers are wrong. If you were invested in the market i.e s&p 500 it didn't take nearly that long to get a "real" return. Why? THe S&P index does not include the effect of dividends. With these being reinvested, the...

I'm still trying to find time to answer an earlier post because it requires some detailed input. However on this question, the answer is a very simple no. Just do some historical research on housing price declines. Over here in the UK, house prices declined from late 89 to mid 95 i.e almost...

School 1977 v School 2007 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Many a true word is spoken in jest but……. Scenario: Johnny and Mark get into a fistfight after school. 1977 - Crowd gathers. Mark wins. Johnny and Mark shake hands...

A wealthy old lady decides to go on a photo safari in Africa, taking her faithful aged poodle, Cuddles, along for company. One day the poodle starts chasing butterflies and before long, Cuddles discovers that he's lost. Wandering about, he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction...

I've tried to say it in other threads but many don't want to hear the facts. If you care to elaborate on what " the bigger picture " is, I'm only to happy to blow 90% of the negative facts out of the water with actual data. That's not to say that I don't agree with the fact that traders...

As they say, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Either that or you don't understand simple math. That certainly appears to be the case with the above comment. Don't worry, you are not alone- the human brain has trouble scaling large numbers. If 2.1mm homes were sold in 05 at an...

GDP is growth above inflation?? I'm not sure what you mean.... Gross Domestic Product. A measure of the value of goods and services produced in a year. Of course, given that inflation is based on a fixed basket, it's highly unlikely to apply to anyone exactly and as I'm based in the UK...

You mean other than 80% of the elite trader members??? :D
