A Big (Mac) Deal On Recent Sell-Off [View article]
Ordonezo, I agree that analysts' opinions are very often over reacted to. However, the markets and specific stocks both react to what they say or think. I agree with you in the idea that it should not effect them the way they do, but nonetheless must be respected for how they can move prices.
To add some proof to your point, take for instance that rating agencies had subprime bonds rated AAA back in 2008. We all know what followed, the subprime mortgage collapse, triggering CDS's and a huge financial mess.

To his defense, and I don't read about P very often, nor am an investor in it, but have seen him state his exact cost basis in other articles. He's very honest about his stake in the position and isn't afraid to defend it.

It sounds as if you are angry at UVXY. its currently up 13% as I write this. It is underperforming the VIX, but far outperforming the TVIX. 13% is a pretty solid move, IMO.
I agree. I rarely ever follow someone into paying for any type of service, but I have followed Kevin here in SA for quite a while now and he definitely knows his stuff. I purchased the E-book and it's a quick read and WELL worth the time and money. With the cost of a what a commission could be, you could learn a vast amount in under an hour.

yes, sorry. I just meant that I used to prefer using TVIX, but with its action lately I have had much more success using UVXY. However, after the reverse split I will probably begin using VIX options or TVIX again.

yes, they all perform differently, and in late 2011 I really preferred using the TVIX for protection, but it has been acting so strange this year that I have moved to a different VOL instrument.
Apple Should Pay A Dividend And Split Its Stock [View article]
Firstly, Apple has split before, so it's not like they've never done it. Secondly, look at companies such as Walmart or Coke. If you had invested 1000 shares in Walmart 30 years ago, you'd have over 500,000 shares by now. KO and WMT are not volatile stocks are held by value investing, buy-and-hold investors. So by starting splits are horrible for a company is also false.

Look, if you disagree, you disagree, I don't particularly care and I'm not going to argue about it. I used to pick up TVIX, on volatility dips, held for 1-5 days, then would take profits. I didn't like the way TVIX had been acting lately, so I started trading with UVXY. I thought I would write an article advising others of the same. Happy trading.

Yes, I'm aware, as well as most of us, that ETF's constantly have to re-split and re-split, as they negatively compound over time. I don't believe I specifically mentioned a long term time frame, and if that was the impression I apologize, but I meant it can be a good purchase when VOL gets cheap, and the market gets a bit extended. Holding some TVIX or UVXY will not destroy your account. At not least in a negatively accumulated way.

I agree. A split would give smaller investors a chance to get into these high price stocks. They're values and PE's might be low, but most people don't see that. A split would give the psychological edge to these companies. Too bad Google will always be against a split, as a revenge play for people discounting them as a joke in the beginning, a "bubble."

as quoted above, should be written in stone. I agree, even though the short run would be a painful bloody mess, it's what would sort out the problems the quickest. It's survival of the fittest, at least that's the way it is in the markets, and as you say the politicians always intervene, making it the survival of the richest.
