He doesn't embrace economic physics, and will likely be blamed. http://shar.es/a8tE5 "Thus, as others before him have, President Obama is tackling the economy like a war, or a natural disaster, where a few decisions here and some strokes of the pen there should fix the problem in due...

http://shar.es/aIZfF Per JG, the solution to our currency problem: “So our Martian would be mystified and our honored dead distressed. And we, the living? We are none too pleased ourselves. At least, however, being alive, we can begin to set things right. The thing to do, I say, is to...

Abdulrahman al-Saley, department of financial chief, states that creditors were responsible for their own lending decisions and should differentiate between companies and the state. Mr. Saleh says, “Creditors need to take part of the responsibility for their decision to lend to the...

all this doomsday talk makes me think we're closer to the bottom than most people think, lol. Yea, I'm being contrarian.

What was that little event called again, the Civil War?

This might sound crazy and would create may questions (especially on feasibility), BUT consider this plan in it's entirety and ask if we'd be better off in 5-10 years from now or worse off... 1. Have the Fed stop the bailouts of the banks, and their "liquidity" programs, and just buy at...

But this is contra to his buddy Prechter's scenario of Dow 500, and S&P at 5. They must have had a falling out.

This is bullish for stocks. The washout event happend when the Dow hit 6,000 - now the average joe, and his hedge funds, have been removed from the markets, as evidenced by the low volume during the rally. Thus, expect a pull-back and a ho hum market for years to come - until the consumer...

Another problem to add: 7. In the deflationary bear market bomb, the Dow and the S&P lose 90% of their value from the peak. Yet, the dollar will be in a multi-year bull market, as the need to grab dollars to pay of debts, margin, etc. ensues. Okay, I agree that the dollar has reached a...

Why? Gov't is always last to react. I think the bigger, more serious question that we have to answer is whether the Gov't can do anything to stimulate the economy? Even in the short term, even having it's balance sheet becoming the most levered hedge fund in the world, there has been no...

Hopefully this subject line will not get this post deleted, but: The Fed has interest rates at 0% - .25%; still paying reserve interest to banks; has become the effective counterparty to derivatives of the big banks; has devised programs such as CP, TALF, TARP, Cash for Clunkers, MBS, and...

Anyone hear anything with regard to Wells Fargo? Just heard BBG say that there is "talk on the tradefloor with regards to heavy put volume". Any info? CRE related?

Ghost of Cutten, So how do you do your own market research without looking at the trash that's out there? I mean, I wold think you are at least looking at the headlines and rubbish to perhaps setup a contrary play. Or do you purely look at the numbers, price, with no story or headlines as...

I'm all for a hip young president. I'm all for him filling our his brackets, and using blackberries. I'm all for one who is with pop culture. But Jay Leno? Come on bro. Jay Leno Show? What's next, Conan O'brien? It's cool to have a fresh perspective and president... but how fresh...
