Biggest Gainers, Losers Since 9/29 [view article]
Buy and hold is bogus we are back to 1999 levels. I am down this year but far less than the averages because of watching stocks, taking profits and cutting losses. In retrospect I should have cut even more losses. The most frightening thing I am hearing in the media is just sit pat and hold, it will come back and even worse one so-called financial expert on TV advising to only looking at your 401K statements once or twice a year! I learned something from the tech crash. I am working on educating my friends who are now willing to pay attention about having some cash and at least knowing what you own and not to blindly trust so-called financial advisors.

Let this latest crisis teach all investors - ALWAYS have your Protective Exit Strategy in place from the start. Do your fellow American a favor and show him that Buy&Hold is the riskiest approach to investing and can be shown so. Put something in place that ensures that one can protect profits and keep losses to a minimum. Use an approach smarter than trailing stops, moving averages etc. Use an approach that will adjust itself continually to the stock's behavior and market conditions. Be smart! Replycharlie

Nine Months Later: Some Annual Predictions from the Financial Press [view article]
Root Problem: FRE & FNM used up to 100x leverage, AIG & LEH used up to 30X leverage; and that's after the banks used up to 10X Leverage on financial debt. This has to be stopped. The root problem going back to 1912 has to be fixed.WWW.GrandfatherReport....
Richard Fuld, CEO of LEH, admitted to 30x leverage contributing to the problem.
Now I read on seekingalpha.com about FRE and FNM doing 100:01 leverage on their debt insurance.
Most investment banks were leveraged by a ratio of 30 to 1, and they were dealing with billions of dollars instead of thousands. Government sponsored mortgage giants Freddie (FRE) and Fannie were using leverage closer to 100 to 1, because of their supposedly stricter lending standards and implicit government backing.
seekingalpha.com/artic...
How can "we the people" know the root cause is being "fixed" if we don't know about the root cause. Most of the news is telling us the root cause is a lack of confidence about all those mortgages being paid as agreed.
And are we sure we understand what happens when 100:01 leverage is applied after the fractional banking reserve requirement is applied? Maybe if this subject needs a spotlight to get people's attention. Then maybe the "lack of confidence" could be better understood.

Please just remember that if you are going long that you are truly gambling if you don't have your exit strategy in place from the start. And make sure its adjusting to the market as it needs to. Don't rely on a lame trailing stop which is not at all reflective of that stock's behavior and market conditions. ReplyRisk Isn't Just About Volatility [view article]
Mr. Shaw makes an excellent point and one that should be remembered, but which the big Wall Street banks seem to have overlooked of late.Return OF capital before return ON capital.

Risk Isn't Just About Volatility [view article]
Looks like Wachovia got rid off the prior toxic risky wasted bank subsidiaries and kept the good ones. Now it can start from scratch to build a new banking subsidiary with safe practice together with its remaining good outstanding subsidiaries. The current subsidiaries of Wachovia make it look like "Merrill Lynch without the toxic risky waste", good job from management it separated the good bank from the bad bank overnight, plus its CEO Bob Steel is one of the top rated mutual fund managers. Wachovia will keep the valuable human resources and the talent that have expirience in the banking business saving them for the new banking subsidiary. Buying the municipal bonds or the auction rate securities will give the inflow of cash as long as its hold even to maturity, so the prospects are good.Reply

The root cause of the current mess is housing price slide. There is an enormous over-supply. To fix the problem, among other measures, the most important maybe a temporary prevention of new housing supply coming into the marketplace. Let there be a one year ban on new housing permits. This will help put a bottom on the falling housing prices. Mortgage Backed securities will begin to have renewed value. Does anyone think Congress can or will enact the ban?

marxbites. read every word you wrote. Well done. To some people,the truth hurt, you know. As we all know, the Democrates have been trying so hard to turn this great country into a Socialist country. The way it goes now, it may well be on that path some day because the lazy, the poor, the brainwashed, the blindfolded, and the extremists are all pushing this country to that direction.We call these bunch "The blame others except themselves group." Not good. Reply

marxbites: <<Bush & Co ???; as criminal as this admin is - it is NOT responsible for what was built by Democrats & done by the FED.Clinton, Kerry, Gore, McBama ALL work for the same masters; the CFR/NWO/Fed'l Reserve/Int'l Banking cabal.>>
You know, I was waiting for "someone" to blame this mess on Clinton. LOL. Where have you been the last eight years, in a cave?
And you don't think Bush & Co. are not CFR/NWO? Get a grip. Bush is the NWO. I do agree with the statements re: the FED and banking cabal. To put the blame of this mess on the Democrats is absurd.

Kinabalu - long before the latest "bailout", the Fed opened its "discount window" splashing a tsunami of cheap credit on an inebriated, hung over financial industry. I call that "bailout", and Lehman sucked up a wholse bunch of that money. It was reported that Lehman paid midyear bonuses using some of that money. If they did, in my personal opinion they should be PROSECUTED.There's way too many fast buck artists, casino gamblers and just plain con men on wall street these days. They make Gordon Gecko look like a choir boy. And that our Congresscritters are even considering bailing these immoral, unethical "financiers" out is unimaginable. How about a little jail time ?
Hopefully they'll get Tyrone as a cellmate. He''ll give them what the Congress won't - payback.- Reply
