Echo To All

Why This Rally Is Unsustainable

Naufal,

ur over thinking urself here. This rally was not caused by quants or technials. There were very real economic factors that indicated and continue to lead to, stabilization. The market acted accordingly.

The economic footing will prevent a retest of the lows, the low valuations will simply not be justified.

(quant trading facilitates or exaggerates movements, it does not create a sustained market rally as we recently had)

Here I Go, Criticizing Warren Buffett

you have got to be joking.

the man goes on cnbc because they WANT him on.... cnbc.com has a section dedicated to the man, following his every move for cying out loud, and yet you think he enters deal to simply put his offerings?

any investor worth their pay (which in this day and age is few and far between) knew a package was coming, and for that assumption to be a part of investing in financials is just ignorance.

and i am so glad you can give buffett validation... "He is, of course, correct in his assertion that stocks will outperform cash over the next decade... " as if the man needs any from anyone.

i may still be a relatively young pup in the investing game, but a good long-term money man (let alone a great one) does not do things to provide temporary pumps.

ur confusing 'inappropriate' with his great abiliy to market what ever he speaks about. (like oprah) GS and GE simply paid (or are paying him) for the consequence of his investing.

face it... his dollar is worth more than anyone elses... no need to hate him for it.
