Actually, increased domestic energy supply would be a far better alternative then deep, multi-year recession or depression but considering government hasn't done close to nothing on this front in 30 years I am preparing for the difficult times until the pain forces change and I am not talking about Obama's version of it either. ReplyQ2 Economic Commentary: Buyers on Strike [view article]
Oil prices would not go down if the US economy can avoid a recession. Increased supplies? How can that happen? Seriously I believe OPEC will cut its production if oil price falls below $120.This economy NEEDS a severe recession to bring an end to this commodity boom. That is how stagflation ends up with every time. Reply

Agreed papagiki...overbought conditions can remain in place for quite a while, and oversold doesn't mean it's time to buy.The writers are factual and non-committal, merely pointing to conditions that possibly warrant stop loss protection, or positions to montior for entry points. Reply

So, what's your point? Buy more, sell, or what. We value you opinion so don't just present data. We can do that on Yahoo! ReplyKey ETFs Furthest Above and Below Their 50-Day Moving Averages [view article]
What is the point? Sell the overboughts? Buy the oversolds? What kind of historical record of buy/sell signals can you get from this info? Dave ReplyBear
Mortgage Rates Fly Higher [view article]
The two posts above are right. But add on top of that higher risk premiums. It's not about "wanting" rates to go down or "hoping" for the housing crash to end. The housing crash will end when home prices return to the fundamentals. Interest rates are one factor, but they are still at historic lows. The issue isn't that interest rates are too high, the issue is that homes are still way too expensive. They won't stop dropping until regular people can afford them at interest rates much higher than 6.25%. Let's not pretend there's anything anyone can do to stop that. Let's ask ourselves what we can do to mitigate the fall out and remind ourselves that millions of renters and first-time home-buyers will BENEFIT from lower home prices. Replyl.com

Thanks for these graphs.One could argue that long mortgage rates are up to force down the size of mortgages placed on homes which in turn forces down the home prices. Banks are looking at more and more mortgage defaults and want to make the loan back fast and force down its total value.
However, interest rates are exploding upward on 5 year US Government notes too. One could claim that US Government debt rates are pushing all US debt rates for all maturities up.
And what is pushing US Government debt interest rates up? Lots of people who own them want out of them and sell them at lower and lower prices to reach their goals. The world is awash in US Dollar denominated debt and the only way to sell it is to take lower and lower prices and that moves yields higher and higher.
If this latter explanation is correct,the USA has lost the ability to set its interest rates. Its creditors have taken that job over. Reply

rates are up because treasurys are way up ReplyKBE's Forward Yield Pays You to Wait [view article]
We bankers admire men like you. True Yields of 6%, but still below real inflation levels. You are not even keeping up with headline (adjusted), but who is counting? You can win only if you think you will live long enough to see equity appreciation. That will be a while. You found a jewel, but it is just glass, look again.

Sir, did you really mean ...long-term earnings being permanently impaired... "due to lack of an irresponsible lending market"?I thought we had one of those.
I assume you meant "due to the lack of a responsible lending market"... but as stated, the comment really tickled my funny bone... and humor can be such a rare commodity. Reply

I'm actually surprised stockholders aren't going all French Revolution on these CEOs with the golden parachutes.I'm still waiting to see who's going to limp away from the trainwreck known as financials. I'm staying away until the mess sorts itself out (or until Uncle Sam uses up my tax money to bail everyone out). In my opinion, it's still got a while to go. I'm not about to jump overboard with anchor to flee a sinking ship.
In the meantime, there are safer ways to get decent yields without the risk of financials.
