    Sell the News, Buy the Rally [view article]
    Written by a person who is incapable of the same type of innovation that Apple and Job's have consistently provided since the very beginning of the companies inception. When you can no longer grow by learning and adapting, the problem is your own. I find the scope and creativity of my new iMac to be nothing short of amazing. I marvel every time I turn on my I phone and realize that I have an internet connected micro laptop in my hand that is far more powerful that the Star Treck communicators I wanted as a kid. Sorry you don't seem to be sharing the same planet as me. Reply

    If you want to see a very funny and informative cartoon look at the whole subprime mess informationarbitrage.c... it's a ppt. And it is a nice metaphor for your island. Even though I'd like to see some bank presidents sent to jail. Reply

    Bloomberg Consensus Estimates Show Flat GDP, Likelihood of Recession [view article]
    Consensus? Since when is a blue string of pearls a consensus? Consensus: "An opinion or position reached by a group as a whole or by majority will." Those graphed opinions are all over the place and show the irrelevance of economists' predictions. Reply

    Timing the Market With the 200 DMAs [view article]
    For Ricky: the "D" stands for "Day" as in 200-Day Moving Average instead of 200-Week Moving Average or 200-Month Moving Average.

    For aaCharley: Mr. Nusbuam has provided two excellent "data" examples to back up his article. You may need to re-read these charts a little closer at stockcharts.com to realize the true benefit. Having used a similar strategy during the 2000-2002 Bear market, I can assure you that a substantial amount of money was saved by sitting in cash. And, this strategy can be utilized in other asset classes as well. Remember, this is investing where no strategy is an absolute. But using the 200-Day moving average, as Mr. Nusbaum has suggested, may provide you with another tool that can save your client's money in a down market, reduce their portfolio risk (Standard Deviation) substantially and increase their overall return.

    Why the U.S Dollar Won't Die [view article]
    "... And one way to do that is what the U.S. has done - deflate the currency."

    Uhhhh ... don't you mean INFLATE the currency? When you deflate the currency, it becomes more valuable, and thus stronger. It is when you inflate the currency that it becomes weaker.

    And you are otherwise correct, as if we look around we see central banks everywhere inflating the bejeesus out of their national currencies, in a desperate race to the bottom.

    Whether this is being done as a means of national economic warfare or a frantic attempt to replace humongous (nay, ginormous) amounts of destroyed credit, it matters little, as the currencies are dropping at increasing rates as money gushes out of them into commodities of every kind.

    at what point is the market ahead of events and to what extent. s&p had a comment on the amount of writedowns by the banks saying they were more than adequate. the rest of us should be able to buy with some confidence our favorite investment ideas. stp, ldk, yge. these companies have been dragged down by the index arbitrage yet now present compelling values. i dont care how bad the sub prime is.

    Timing the Market With the 200 DMAs [view article]
    I understand that the "charts are what they are." Except, if you are advocating this be used in practice, you should provide the data to show that it is effective over the entire period, not just for a couple of periods with large declines. Both charts seem to show many whipsaws that would have cost the investors money in the generally rising periods. Sure, some losses would have been avoided in the big declines. Are those larger or smaller than the whipsaw losses over the other periods? You might want to check that out before rushing to implement this - or recommending it. Reply

    Analyzing Business Cycles: It's All in the Timing [view article]
    Very interesting, and very important for investors to understand and keep in mind. Too little attention is paid to this concept, which you call timing, but I call maintaining contextual awareness. No investment decision should ever be made in a vacuum. What seems like an ironclad bet today may turn out to be a disaster if you get the context wrong. Reply
