top may be in today on the IYF and IYF (and UYG at $24.76). Looks like the financials may be turning since their up move seems a bit exhausted... ReplyHow High Leverage Has Brought Down the Whole Banking Industry [view article]
When banking gamble with their money an loose we are all affected in hte way of higher interest rates. ReplyLehman Brothers, R.I.P [view article]
I really cannot believe how ridiculous this "article" is. I planned to address the merits and not making this personal but there are no merits. This is clearly an attempt to get "published". Before writing this I took the time to read your other entries and your website. Your writing is not only filled with spelling mistakes but also incorrect uses of idiomatic expressions.At times it appears that you are just trying to drop in buzzwords to fool the layperson. At other times the writing is so disjointed I am reminded of a drunk at a typewriter. You clearly do not understand these issues with any depth.
Example: "However, due to better Fed policy management, inflationary pressures never really set in this decade. As a result, the Feds kept rates for longer than it should've."
Was the Fed's policy good or did it keep rates too low for too long? Disjointed much?
Here's another: "With the advent of global demand and the US consumer, firms prospered from unprecedented economic growth. Demand kept profit margins at a healthy clip this decade."
The advent of the US consumer? Did you mean that profit margins GREW at a healthy clip? Another poorly turned phrase.
Your writing is severely lacking. Your lack of intellectual depth is obvious. Just a really poor effort.

Puts on financials are very risky these days. Consider shorting via the SKF. No time decay and you can keep a tight expense stop. Replylingham

I agree Freddie and Fannie and the 17 other financial organizations that were placed on the "unavailable to short sell list" should be allowed to fail; and that no Fed intervention be made.Washington Mutual was up 6% on Tuesday. It a long list of other short sellers is available on the linked article. Yet I make a case for investing in gold as well. Reply
SEC Shorting Restrictions: Are Some Banks Being Set Up? [view article]
Thje advice has alway been "buy low, sell high" but these analyst had strong buys when bank stocks were at $60 and now that they bottomed out at $6, they issued strong sells. At the same time, you see buy orders from someone for a million shares at a time. Obviously my old aunt Mable? Couldn't possibly be these hugh institutions accumulating.

I agree with most of what you have to say but I have no time at all for the shorting of stocks. It should not be allowed in any form. It encourages manipulation because it is much easier to engineer a negative result than a positive one. If you think a stock is going to head down you should take your money out or not invest in the stock in the first place.As for the above fans of WaMu, I suggest you put your money where your mouths are and I am sure you will get everything you deserve.

The writer of this article clearly has an agenda. It is based on a lot of negative opinion and not on pure facts. I agree with the other posters. Naked shorting is already illegal and this guy is stating it is going to hurt the market to prevent naked shorting? Huh?! ReplyFinancials Are Having a Dead Cat Bounce [view article]
I agree with all the other post here, the author is clueless !! If the author looked at the volume and price gains over the last 4 trading days he would notice there is some serious money coming to the table, smart money!I still do not know how some of these idiotic posts make it to yahoo finance. Would like to know what experience this author has and how much money he manages, but if he did short we won't need worry about his stupid statements much longer. Reply

This writer is really off the track regarding short selling!! Any large institution/hedge fund can destroy the share price of any company it chooses to if it doesn't actually have to borrow shares. In general, regulation of short selling is long overdue - my personal take is that the volume of short selling should be severely limited by SEC regulations.

Yes, clearly the market is irrational to be snapping up these equities at a cheap price. After all, these companies will lose money forever, just like they did in the past. ReplyFinancials Are Having a Dead Cat Bounce [view article]
WaMu has more than 40 billions in available cash and more than 7 billions in excess capital!I think the author of this article shorted WaMu and now he is angry because lost a lot of $$$$$$!WaMu fair value is 20$,it is useless to invent bad news to send the stock price down!WaMu was over 40$ several months ago....how can you short now that is at 5.82$ and financial crises will be over soon?

Sentiment, sector rotation, and squeezes. Those are all that matter. Earnings? If the market is determined to go up, it will. If it is determined to go down, it will. There's always something in an earnings call that can be spun whichever way the wind is blowing. Just remember, we've seen this movie before. ReplyFinancials Future Still Uncertain [view article]
