    Friday's Outlook: Stick a Fork in Mr. Market [view article]
    Great analysis David, I do also think a rally of some sort is inevitable. But still not enough panic. Reply

    Don't Buy (Sell) The Bear [view article]
    True, earnings have doubled since 2001. But more interesting, earnings are almost double those of 1999 when the index was at a comparable level to 2007. As to whether that 100% will repeat again in the next so many years, that's quite an assumption.

    Interesting to see a combination of technicals and valuations.

    as to the f sharp minor, this reader would prefer to see the bear march to the tune of op.53.

    There were tons of pundits saying surprise rate cut. Not much of a surprise if you ask me. 1280? 1250? Not enough panic yet, and the shorts are carrying the ball here with lots of powder. Reply

    I don't write the headlines here. A rally wouldn't be a surprise but how long lasting it would be is another thing. Bear market rallies can be powerful. Reply

    On Anna Schwartz's Scathing Criticism of the Fed [view article]
    Mr. Greenspan made it very difficult for me when I was in business. One of the reasons I sold out and retired in 1999 was his lack of reality. Even in retirement he does not know enough to keep quite, thus affecting markets, rather than playing golf. Reply

    U.S. Index and Style ETFs Currently Oversold [view article]
    The bottom of a waterfall is more than one standard deviation lower than the top.

    Just because something is "oversold" doesn't mean it won't go down more.     Reply

    On Anna Schwartz's Scathing Criticism of the Fed [view article]
    It is heartwarming to read of intelligence in action. Usually these types of analyis are found in post-mortem notes and diaries; or uttered by those who have quit, retired or otherwise been outsourced and downsized to the fringes where their commentary can produce the least amount of change. We can't all afford to build personal economic arks - the 1950' bomb shelter mentality applied to present day money woes - so articles such as this should also present a list of probable steps to be taken by the more or less uninitiated to mitigagte the damage. Between "evil" and "stupid" there exists a segment of populace that needs to be provided with valid, reliable, and timely information to protect itself from the MSRP philosophic mentality of our economic leadership. I can always chase the deer and trap the rabbit - at least until 240 million other people decide to do the same. What we need here is the mindset that turned Japan from a 5 and 10 cent country into what it is today. They have a concept of inclusion that doesn't really exist here. As long as any captain of industry is able to find sanctuary elseware (despite the few sacrificial executive lambs), there will always be a crisis of "confidence"... I don't think we're bankrupt. I do think that we are no longer a country; just a whole bunch of people living on some land trying to survive. I belong to the shrinking-what-used-to... I am beyond being baffled and dazzled by cow pies. I need fiscal advice that goes beyond: When the going get's tough, the tough go shopping! Reply

    Markham, you're right and this Fed-worship nonsense is simply the Wall street magnates stoking the ego of their incompetent but doting befefactors to keep their wheels turning. We are bankrupt, having seduced our populace into unsupportable debt. Floating more IOU's, foreign or domestic, isn't going to stop the carnage of their "more cheap credit to fix failing credit" policy. Reply

    ETF Fund Flows (Week Ending 1/4/08) [view article]
    I don't know. But here is my guess: the short is done with futures (or options when no future market exists), with the bulk of funds in tbills against possible drawdowns. My guess is based on the surprisingly large dividend that some of these short ETF's pay. Hopefully, somebody who knows the answer will tell both of us. Thanks in advance. Reply

    ETF Fund Flows (Week Ending 1/4/08) [view article]
    Participants will deliver/receive the underlying securities of the ETF when creating/redeeming an ETF. Does anyone know what ETF specialists deliver/receive when they create/redeem on an ultra long/short ETF?
    Thanks     Reply
