Re: Swine Flu Pandemic

10 points for having bird flu at red 3 on your main page. Yet again your method works. I also want to point out that I have seen a decrease in traffic on this site due to this recent 6 week bull run. That is crazy. A month and a half of continuing bad news, but the market goes up 200 points and ever...

Re: Financial topics

Why Do Stock Prices in Emerging Markets Move in Tandem? Interesting article from Randall Morck, Bernard Yeung, and Wayne Yu - It explains why all of our stocks move in sync, we are now an emerging marker.... Sigh. On a recent visit to China, we were given access to a tape of Chinese stock price data...

Re: Financial topics

I don't know why I watch CNBC, it kills me. I don't have bloomberg, I guess that is why. I Just watched Mark say "we were up over 20% so we are in a new bull market", and then Erin Burnett says, "only another 35% to go to get it all back!". Maybe it was just a slip up, but they say things like this ...

This market reminds of of a quote I heard somewhere, "The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent..."

Re: Financial topics

Certainly some momentum in the markets, as long as everyone keeps drinking the cool aid. I really enjoy the talking heads on CNBC, they announce horrible numbers like a 6.3 drop in GDP, and then say it was worse than expected, but not as bad as some analysts expected. Smile!

Re: Financial topics

I make my living trading, and this site has been invaluable over the past year. However I am certainly having an off month with the market moving against several of my long term short positions. My biggest problem is that I am short several of the home builders who have been running up over the past...

Re: Financial topics

yeah I really got boned in the market today, shouldn't this be a sign of how desperate the government is getting, buying it's own debt? Really? Not a reason to buy into a failing system.

Rally over

Looks like this bear market rally is over, get ready for the next leg down. Time to average into some short positions. Don't use the short ETFs, you'll lose money to time volatility decay. If you want to use an ETF, short the long ones. You can do this, I have. I think we will be breaking to new low...
