    Defining a Set of Core Asset Classes [view article]
    I thought I was doing ok with a managed futures RYMFX fund but not now.

    It seems that commodities have disrupted any benefit, in the short term, at least. How can this be prevented?     Reply

    Defining a Set of Core Asset Classes [view article]
    Hi Geoff,

    I great, helpful article. Thank you for it.

    I have a question about core asset classes. I see that you have used the DJ Utilities index as a surrogate for what El-Erian terms as the infrastructure asset class allocation. What other etfs do you see as adequate surrogates? Would railroads or natural gas pipelines count? Should this infrastructure investment be international or domestic etc.

    A second question: I notice that pimco has a bond fund that invests in emerging market debt denominated in local currencies. Would participation in this constitute a different asset class or would it be a subset of the bond portion of the portfolio?

    Thank you,

    Sentiment Review: Bullishness Rising [view article]
    I expected criticism for my bearish view on the market,thanks,sorry for my english (I live in Frankfurt,Germany) but I know that there is no new money on the table.Some say money come from commodities back to stocks,I disagree,as average american investor sits on losses above 20% on those too as many of you like to buy things at the top.
    Regarding money is flowing from money market into stocks,I disagree too,as money that is invested in fixed income usually stays conservative,investors that go for low interest are smart investors,they know market is broken they will wait at some extreme valuations before buying beaten bleeding stocks,as I expect Dow Jones to reach first bottom at 7000-7500 next year for sure,probably some short term money will be reinvested from bonds to stocks but only short term,as we enter biggest crash in american history (thank God Federal Reserve is buying index futures,selling short commodities to stop panic) that will get us to 2500-3750 on the Dow Jones.But even then nobody will make any money buying big caps as indexes will stay flat for 115 years with very small yearly change.After we will have gray hairs our children and grand children will ride next big bull wave,but we will never see a bull again.

    Casual - please don't criticize one's use of grammar and spelling with the following sentence:

    I would suggest you dig up some childrens' level economics books, which you seem to be all to familiar with.

    What is your point? I read your postings/ research which must be classed as obvious, at best, and wickedly boring at worst , and I always wonder what I am doing looking at your work again?

    Responding to 'User 244491' who is obviously widely read and well educated (the hints are in his fine command of grammar, spelling and prose), new capital inflows into markets originate from a variety of sources. One only has to look at the decline in the gold and commodities markets to recognize one possible source. Rather than mock the authors' investigative interpretations, which appear on target, I would suggest you dig up some childrens' level economics books, which you seem to be all to familiar with. Reply

    Any coincidence between the VIX under 20 and the light volume that always marks August? I read in the New York Times that many people take these things called "vacations" during this period. I wonder if that may have an effect on the sideways nature of trading patterns in the last two weeks? Anyone got one of those Magic 8-Balls they could shake for an answer? Make sure the article contains a minimum of 100 words. Thanks in advance! Reply

    For the capital to flow into the market,this capital must be made somewhere,as average american investor sits on losses of 40% and bigger,where tha capital will come from.Better write tales for children as you are too uneducated to comment on investing,honcho. Reply

    S&P 500 P/E Ratio Now Stands At 16.85 After Last Week's Decline [view article]
    Great chart, how do you calculate the present P/E of the S&P500? Do you use total earnings from the previous quarter for the index and use that as the denominator below current closing price? If so, where do you find total earnings for the 2Q? Thanks for your help. Reply
