Financial Markets: The Era of Caution [view article]
"The rally’s lack of breadth, however, is worrying, causing Richard Russell (Dow Theory Letters) to warn:If July 15 was a true bottom, the market should be roaring up today, and that’s not what’s been happening. Caution is warranted!"
It's statements like these that show how many boobs there are in the financial misinformation business. Did this 'author' really think that a market bottom in July would result in a 'roaring' upmarket in August. That's why I use the term 'boob' (what other term is there for these people - financial misinformation 'boobs'). All this gloom and doom and then in the same breath (hold your breath now) you get a statement like this: "The thrifts and mortgage finance group (+16%) was the best-performing group for the week, led by Freddie Mac (FRE) and Fannie Mae (FNM), up 61% and 37% respectively. This is a strong reversal from being the worst performing group during the previous week with a decline of 23%. The stocks were driven down recently by speculation on whether a government bailout was imminent, a prospect that would probably wipe out the equity holders. Those concerns seemed to diminish last week after some analysts estimated that the firms had enough capital to last at least until next year." Oh Boy! I sure see a lot of concern about markets in that statement - enough capital to last until at least next year!
No, the financial markets are not going to collapse. They can't. There are too many Mozillo (sp?) types out there that would (should) have to go to jail for the fraud they perpetrated, and that ain't going to happen. Massive price corrections - you bet - and there should be. The days of hyper-inflated home prices are over - and should of never happened (except for those Mozillo types that made it happen and will never be prosecuted) Operating on equity - not anymore - there is none in this market. All you have to work with now is your dollar per hour wage - no stated income.
Remember Silverado? Boy did we make it through all that or what! And all those millionaires 10 - 15 years later. They laughed all the way to the bank - with financials stocks. You know what they say, 'Buy low, sell high'. So, be a true investor and quit worrying about what the various markets are doing and simply follow your gut which says 'WaMu is really low right now, so is Feddie Mac (I have positions in both), maybe I should buy now". Don't be scared! After you buy them put them away for say, ten years. Don't get rattled by the short and pump guys - they're day traders. After ten years take a look at the stocks you bought. I bet you'll be laughing all the way to the bank.

Do Foreign Currency ETFs Have a Place in Your Portfolio? [view article]
Thanks for a very useful article. With an Obama win likely, I am looking for a way to play stagflation. I thought the Swiss Franc might be a good place to put a portion of my growing cash position (45%) to work for both safety and income reasons. Your article gives me more ideas and options. My equity portfolio is heavily weighted to energy, commodities, and pipeline utilities; with a smaller exposure to technology and electric utilities. Currency ETFs will give a bit of diversification on the cash side. ReplyFinancial Markets: The Era of Caution [view article]
Lacked focus not to mention wordy. The problem with the exhaustive posts of facts ad nausean is one has no idea of all matter, few, or none. In the end the credit squeeze is going to hurt employment and output and no one has a clue how long the sequence will take to work through, or what the outcome will be. We are in a credit warp, which as you will recall from star wars, was one of the worse things that can happen on a star voyage, as I recall. ReplyFinancial Markets: The Era of Caution [view article]

LLOk anyone who invests in financials is NOT using caution. Some rouge employee or Mozilo like CEO can cripple even the best institution .Since 1957-2003 18 of the top 20 companies factoring in reinvested dividends were conumer goods or pharma. Altria was BY FAR number 1 and is still "cheap" . Financials have NEVE been certain. Who can understand a CDO? What sane person gives aloan for more than ahouses "inflated value"?

The title says it all, "era of caution". Very few are calling for a V shape recovery in stocks or the economy. Momentum traders will not miss much by observing markets carefully except for a well timed trade here and there. UK Chancellor Darling says the UK is facing the worst financial crisis in 60 years and it is getting WORSE. Prieur's call for a true upturn in 2h2010 appears to be on course; Jeremy Grantham says this financial crisis will last 2 years at least which is consistent with Prieur's view of the market.
