The Current Market Atmosphere: Easy Money Hard to Come by [view article]
The word from the nypost is that J.P. Morgan has Washington Mutual on the top of its wish list of buys. I looked back to March of this year. J.P. Morgan's first offer for Bear Stearns was for $2.00/share. The buy out was finalized at $10.00/share. Does anyone know what the purchase price of WaMu might be. It traded as low as $5.05 (for good reason or not) today down from about $40. not too long ago. ReplyThe Current Market Atmosphere: Easy Money Hard to Come by [view article]

This excellent report, being more concise, is getting better. Still, I would offer a minor suggestion. Lead off with world market, then follow with pre-mkt earnings report, then company writeups. ReplyThe Current Market Atmosphere: Easy Money Hard to Come by [view article]
I was beginning to take the comments very seriously until Mike said the CEO of JPM was "Dillon." This might be a small thing, but if he is such an expert, wouldn't he be able to get JPM's CEO's name right? It calls into question the rest of his comments.

Remove yourself from the noise is the best advice from this article. Don't follow the media hype and read all these posts with a grain of salt as EVERYONE has their own agenda they are pusing one way or another. Nothing is usually ever as good or as bad as the media and/or pundits would have you believe. Stick to your time proven principals and disciplines and you will survive the financial crisis now as well. The market will recover, just a matter of when, and that truly is something no one can predict with real certainty. If they claim they can, they are probably getting inside information and breaking the law, so don't believe all you hear and read. Keep piling up your cash during this downtime and do your homework to buy the few stocks out there that are bargains and not just junk disguised as a bargain and you will be fine when the market decides to roll again. Bottom line, know your risks, know your timeframes, keep saving money and keep investing also, just be selective and use your own brain at the end of the day. ReplyAnd If Subprime Ends Up Not So Bad?

The most important statement in this article is: "The "experts" made available to the public have and will never alert you in a timely manner". This is why the average investor can never make money in the market. The people who do make money understand this concept well and pay no attention to the investment advice offered through the media.

There is simply no quick fix to the fact that we are VERY over levereged as a nation and as individuals. It will take years of savings to unwind and that saving effort will tap out the consumer and reflect the gross misapplication of capital into consumption (e.g. SUV's and lavish homes). Essentially we are in a marcoeconomic Chapter 11.Those who sell investment products do so to generate income for themselves NOT to help their clients. All of Wall Street knew the last few years were based on lies, but they let it happen (with help from Republicans AND Democrats).
I think the future will be dark. Reply

As Marc Faber has said the next bubble is that of earnings. Watch the S&P500 reflect disappointing earnings over the next year or so. ReplyPoint of No Return or Perfect Buying Opportunity? [view article]
As Congress looks to bailout the bad loans made by companies like CFC, the banking sector will rebound because the risk of write-offs will alleviate in the short term. However, next year we will see the beginning of another spike in adjustable rate mortgage resets which will be followed by increased defaults followed by increased writedowns etc peaking into 2011. With the some tech favorites hurting from pressure on the consumer, we may begin to see funds rolling money back into some of the financials trying to catch the bottom. So a short term trade in the financials may be a good idea (maybe up to election???) but long term I wouldn't touch them with your ten foot pole.Quick side note: Home equity loans (which make up billions of dollars on the balance sheet of many lending institutions) become virtually worthless when a borrower defaults.

I'm with Sophisse. Can't speak for everyone, but I think it'd do me a world of good to disconnect for a while; seperate from the "noise", and clear my head. Too much info - my circuits are about to short. ReplyDon’t Buy What Wall Street Is Selling [view article]
