Market Rewind: Deleveraging Continues [view article]
Pietsch's look back is right on target. With oil poised to shoot up, the LEH bailout about to collapse and the thundering herd in deep trouble --watch out! That bottom mentioned in the article appears to bee on the horizon. ReplyMarket Rewind: Deleveraging Continues [view article]
Pietsch's look back is right on target. With oil poised to shoot up next week, the LEH bailout about to collapse and the thundering herd in trouble, watch out! Maybe that bottom mentioned in the article is not that far off. ReplyMarket Rewind: Deleveraging Continues [view article]
Deleveraging continues?My favorite way of deleveraging is looking at market cap compared to 'balance assets' from financial firms.
By all means this way of measuring leverage is still climbing month in month out for the entire US financial sector.
So the 'real deleverage' still has to set in just like the Americans still not understand you have to look at the 'real GDP growth' and not at the funny comics as delivered by the US government.
And, just by the way, why are there still no articles on this website around the total debt position of the US financial sector?
The FED says it is above one GDP and can please anyone explain to me how the financial sector can pay back an amount of debt above one US GDP?
Smart insights are welcome..... Reply

Article should be retitled "The Commodities Basket-Case Trade"!! Reply25 ETFs That Actually Are Making Money [view article]
And with ETFs these days you don't get much . . . You could have saved us a lot of time if in the opening sentence (the only sentence!) you had said, "Don't bother with ETFs!" ReplyHedge Your Portfolio with Hurricane Stocks [view article]
Thanks.... I've been digging around for rig-maintenance stocks and kept coming up with the NOV and the same old players..... jegan ;-) Reply25 ETFs That Actually Are Making Money [view article]
I think baller miss understood Jim Wiandt's point re ETF fees. By comparison with mutual fund fees, all the leading ETFs are cheaper. His point is that the fees of leading ETFs were higher than under performing ETFs. Well, you get what you pay for (sometimes). Reply25 ETFs That Actually Are Making Money [view article]
At last, someone has stepped up to the plate and admitted to the qudmire this market has been since Otober. The combination of only shorting or playing commodities ( which have trapped many with the sudden downturn (steel)) combined with the high fees these ETFs charge have driven many of us to the sidelines scratching our head or trying to daytrade (gasp)!Where are the foreign markets that are supposed to be decoupled from the US market and provide us some returns(adequate) while we are in a downturn?
Or where is the defensive sector of our US market that should provide a similiar relief.
Thanks for a good article that shows the true picture.

Nah we just gonna stay away from dark ages fossile fuel and use new age technologies such as electric and hydrogen-water. ReplyIs the Global Economy Drowning in a Sea of Black Gold? [view article]
I predict that political pressure will force Democrat's to compromise on drilling. Not because it is sound idea, but because Republican's have created a wedge issue that cannot be explained away in a 60 second thought-ending commercial.People are understandably afraid of the economy and feel the pain every time they they fill up. Most American's are in a "do everything" we can frame of mind. Drilling more oil, at first blush, appears to be a common-sense idea.
The main thing people want is lower gas prices quickly. The US is such a bit player in world-oil production that we cannot impact the price of oil if we drill everything we might find. I did not think McCain would take the lower road, but now that Rove proteges are running his campaign, the lie that we can lower price by more drilling is supported by the majority of voters.
You might make a better argument that we could marginally improve our supply potential at some point 10 -15 years in the future - but that is not as sexy as low gas prices.
Prices are coming down for a variety of reasons driven by oil - investors : The biggest being the probability that the US demand for oil will continue it's downward trend as our economy slows down. Speculator's actually cause more oil to be held above ground in developed countries, and that also is driving the recent price decline.
US consumption for gas declined 2.4% the last month measured - a huge number caused by many being forced to drive less.
The quickest and most effective thing we can do to lower the price of oil is to change our consumption on US roadways - where 1 out of every 7 barrels of oil consumed in the world take place.
If you listen to the CEO's of big oil, they will tell you that they sit on many oil leases and do nothing because the the cost of oil has been too low to justify the costly risks of trying to produce. They need stable, high prices to take on projects in the global economy. With the exception of Saudi Arabia, OPEC has done nothing to increase production because they could simply sit back and watch prices rise.
If US companies are granted new leases, and we subsidize them enough so they actually move forward, OPEC may just cut their production to maintain price stability.
In the short term, OPEC may finally increase their production to prevent further erosion of demand and development of alternate sources. LIke in the 70's, a lot of the demand decline today represents "demand destruction" - it is not sure term and will not come back as people abandon SUV's, drive less , hopefully drive more intelligently, and new better technology rolls out very soon.
If our huge demand slows down more quickly than anticipated emerging market growth, OPEC may increase their production and hope the US stays the world's biggest waster of global oil.

Is the Global Economy Drowning in a Sea of Black Gold? [view article]
The nuclear waste disposal argument is only really trotted out by those who don't understand it or are pushing radical environmental causes. Using Chernobyl as an example of how unsafe nuclear power is only holds up if all reactors are built without an outer shield, which none of the Western reactors are. It takes socialism to achieve that sort of environmental hazard.You could hold your entire family's lifetime of nuclear waste in the palm of your hand. The USA's entire nuclear waste since the 1950s would fit in a football field to a depth of only about 4 feet. All that needs to be done is find an agreeable site and stick it in there.
With increasingly safe nuclear technologies becoming available it is really the only way forward. Reply
