    There is nothing out there to support the proposition that inflation is subsiding or under control, and everything to assure the opposite. The current strengthening of the dollar is clearly a blip that will quickly fade away. Wish it were otherwise, but wishing won't make it so. Reply

    re NBC's viewership, 2 billion was tossed around (presumably for the world); still, 34+ million seems such a modest figure. Reply

    Blackstone Now Bullish on Subprime? [view article]
    Sub-prime debt may have become very attractive. It is now selling literally 15 cents on the dollar. For a small investor, a closed end fund which has invested in sub-prime asset may be attractive. Example is RMK Advantage fund - RMA. It pays an attractive monthly dividend has the potential to double or triple as sub-prime markets recover. Reply

    Blackstone Now Bullish on Subprime? [view article]
    One thing not mentioned here that is the main jist of the reasons for purchasing-these are distressed asset funds, everyone is doing it including big players like Goldman Sachs. Why? They are buying the assets for pennies on the dollar. Anywhere from 4cents on HELOCS -20-30 cents on the dollar for non performing loans and REO'S - and then ENFORCING THEM AGAINST THE BORROWER FOR 100 CENTS on the Dollar. Once again the WALL STREET CRIMINALS prosper at everyone elses expense. So New Century, Aegis, American Home, Merrill Lynch and many others, at the same time they REFUSE to modify loans and refuse to work with borrowers, sell off the same loans to "friends" and former financing partners`. In some cases it is the executives who created the crap forming LLC's to buy up the same crap. The investors on the front end got screwed, but the execs know how to turn their lemons into lemonade! So it has nothing to do with being bullish or bearish
    (maybe BULLSHIT) it has everything to do with simple math. At pennies on the dolllar they see a profit no matter what they buy.     Reply

    KKR IPO: A Market Topping Signal? [view article]
    Doesn't the fact that KKR management isn't getting money out of this deal actually a signal of a market bottom. In other IPOs, management was cashing out. Reply

    KKR's Finally Going Public: Good News or Bad? [view article]
    If the likes of KKR could reliably add value to companies and beat the market, they wouldn't need to raise capital on a public exchange, says Bill Bonner. That's why KKR last public offering in Amsterdam has lost 57% in value since 2006...

    Is the Tide Turning for Blackstone? [view article]
    I've found it very difficult to "run the numbers" on Blackstone as the business has so many moving parts. It could be that they do not have their own capital (balance sheet) available to invest, but the funds that they manage (which include their own capital already invested in these funds) may have plenty of cash or at least undrawn credit lines. It may be a bit tough to pin down the specifics, but the overall environment and the fact they are raising new assets from investors should propel them over the long-run.

    Thanks for the comment!

    When I read one of the recent transcripts, I got the impression that they are not honest. They claim to have good amount of capital to invest and they are purposefully not investing as they were looking for better opportunity. When I looked at their Balance sheet, the capital they were talking about was mostly intangible. Reply

    KKR's Finally Going Public: Good News or Bad? [view article]
    What does KKR’s decision to finally go public mean? KKR plans to acquire KKR Private Equity Partners, its publicly listed Amsterdam investment fund.The deal shows that the established firm still can shake Wall Street. Private-equity firms like to buy companies and leverage their balance sheets to pay out a dividend. Reply

    FWIW, not all brokerages offer their customers the same access for after-market and pre-market trading, e.g. OptionsXpress allows their users to access to pre-market trading (via the ARCA exchange) from 8-9:30am, not 7-9:30am.

    This was a mystery to me, as I could see trades taking place before I could trade, and I was wondering WHO was trading during hours I didn't have access to! I suspected shenigans, but if you're into trading outside normal hours, it might be wise to inquire what hours are offered.

    For the most part, most pre-market traders tend to ramp up (or sell off) stocks well outside reasonable levels (not to mention over-night trades which are filled at open), and hence why you'll see the market make a quick correction before the price/trend stabilizes.     Reply

    There is after and pre market trading from 4-8PM and 7-9.30Am in the US. Everyone can do it, after establishing an agreement with the broker. After market trading costs a bit more, a few cents per share.
    Many companies announce earnings after the market close and that move the price in the after market. Also, if it is a foreign company, like an ADR, it could be affected by something overseas and you'd see it at 7AM at pre-market. For example, MTL fell from 26 to 24 pre-market on news from Russia, and then from 24 to16 at the open.
    After market is very illiquid, so I don't think an average investor looses much by not being able to access it.
    I use it when I need to place a trade for a scan that runs after the close. But if I don't expect a gap in the morning, then I just wait for the open.     Reply
