Tice is a shorts, short. One sided yes, not such a great long term performance, yes. But one of these years he will make 90% again. The tick is picking the right year! ReplyGannon On Investing's July 2008 Blogger Roundtable [view article]
With the DJIA trading near it's 50-min highs, I am very BULLISH, going into Tuesday. I look for the market to continue setting new highs, over the next few hours... Long-term, into the late-morning, I expect some profit-taking, as investors lock-in profits. By afternoon, I believe that this BULL will continue to run, setting more new 50-min highs, but a lot can happen in four hours, so I'm keeping an eye on the exit. I used to "buy and hold," allowing certain positions to carry over from one day to the next, but since January of this year, I've found that to be rather unprofitable. My portfolio is up over 30% YTD, even though I've lost about 5%, since July 1. Today, I'll be watching to see if the action in solar and fertilizer stocks, continues. Yesterday, some performed very nicely, but that was yesterday, so I'll be looking into other sectors, as well. I *still* think that solar, fertilizer and materials are part of a bullish mega-trend, which could continue for a very long time, perhaps, even into next week! That will afford many opportunities to trade in and out, as they continue to climb, albeit unevenly. It's almost 6 hours until the markets reopen, so I intend to take a well-deserved vacation, then get up early to read the news. The future is very bright, if you can just ignore the flickering.

Excellent artical ReplyStock Markets Nearing Important Bottom [view article]
galewhitaker, its NEVER different. The charts do not lie and they are not lying this time either. This market is very close to a very robust rally that will most likely run it higher for the next 9 to 18 months ahead.Energy, financials, etc. Didn't we have the same sentiment in 2002 2003 timeframe: war, worldcom, enron, stock market crashing from 2000 highs, overbloated earnings, etc? We then witnessed a gigantic rally that lasted 5 years and didn't look back. This pattern repeats itself at almost every bottom.
I am here to make money, not to pontificate on economic conditions that have no bearing on price movements in the market. Remember, the market is a discounting mechanism. When I see panic, which I have seen, I see the sale coming to an end. That time is near.
Please re-read my post. I am NOT long this market. It is quite the contrary. If you review my history, I have been bearish all the way down from 12700 on the DOW Jones, calling for this financial debacle every step of the way.
I suggest in my post that the market is CLOSE to a significant bottom that I will buy with a 9 to 18 month time horizon. That is CLOSE but not here yet.
"I will be a heavy buyer from 1200 on SP all the way down to 1182 for an intermediate term (9 months to 18 months) hold"
This is precisely my plan

i wish somebody would demonstrate how this is the same old sh*t happening. yes, yes, yes.....market down, investors gloomy, etc, etc. historic cycles, blah, blah.but if you examine the universe of data present today, it seems a lot different. we are running too close to our energy threshold to continue economic expansion, the dollar is no longer the currency of refuge. the center of economic power is shifting from west to east. these are not temporary issues the market can simply rebound from (such as credit crisis and a simple recession).

The 2 top internet gurus are Dr Options an Short Jester both who post exclsuively on my free website. Interesting article though ReplyProtecting Your Wealth and Profit During the 2008 Crash [view article]
Wall Street organizations, banks, and other financial companies do not operate for the benefit of their customers, employees, stockholders, or the country in general but rather for the express benefit of the board member/executive good-old-boy clique. To expect anything else is naive. Of course, this is also true of other corporations and large organizations, especially the government. ReplyStock Markets Nearing Important Bottom [view article]
galewhitaker, Kunal is a daytrader, he doesn't give a sh*t about your long term forcast he is just speculating about the short term.aSpadaSpade, get grip, this guy could probably buy sell you a dozen time over Reply

Furthermore, it's in the banks and investment houses best interests to wind down their derivatives positions as slowly as possible...we're already having panic....therefore, things are going to spiral down in a more "orderly fashion" rather than a straight trajectory. Either way, there's going to be a lot of pain...spread out either sooner or later over time. ReplyProtecting Your Wealth and Profit During the 2008 Crash [view article]
I don't believe this is the end of the world or the end of the US banking system. I believe that the news will get worse for financials when we fall deeper into recession and the banks haven't even come out with those figures. More people who were living too high on the hog and bought property within the past 5 years that need to sell and don't have substantial savings behind them (including those that have jobs will lose them thereby exascerbating the situation). Monsieur Paulson our treasury secretary has already warned us about months of pain: READ 1.5-2 years; Oil cannot drop to the ground - but it must come down because growth is going to go down.I'm seeing lower global growth...we are in the information age aren't we? Since when do backward countries call the shots with our economy? Tech is going to slow down too but not grind to a halt. Business investment can't remain as high as it has with a global recession coming. Europe must lower the euro eventually otherwise they'll have more strikes and more riots. They don't even work there and internationally, people are not going to be buying their overpriced goods. We may not even buy as much from China...aren't we their #1 customer? China needs us as much as we need them in my opinion. A cheap dollar is good for exports and eventually the dollar will become stronger once Paulson gets enough nerve to raise interest rates to curb inflation and work the housing debacle out. Step 1 is to shore up the banking system to stabilize us financially. Step 2: Raise interest rates to take care of inflation.
I bought Tesoro and Valero last Thursday. The companies are both at lows and are climbing paying a 1.9% yield. I also bought SKF on Thursday because I firmly believe the worst is not over yet in the financials. I don't day trade. I'm a long term investor and have been in the market since 1984. Reply

Hey double-click, real intelligent post. Shall I say, 'takes one to know one', to be equally intelligent? ReplyGannon On Investing's July 2008 Blogger Roundtable [view article]
These guys are shortsighted ReplyU.S. Markets: Is it Time to Throw Caution to the Wind? [view article]
You made a good point FRIEND. This is a gods and clods economy with the middle being squeezed into the clods category. The story always end up the same though, the clods all get together and overthrow the gods, an external enemy brings down the gods or the money runs out from the clods making the clods Bastille party that much easier. I am disgusted about our socialism for the rich government, but all things do change. Empires do receed but most find there way as permanent cultures, ours will be no different. Reply
