Trust in Business Down in 13 of 15 Industries [view article]
why anybody would trust anyone about anything is beyond me.the small-smaller print is king.all have an agenda meaning their hand in your pocket.weghts & measures are reduced as prices are increased.there is no confidence in the products sold to you.buy the warranty they say.(watch out for the small print on that paper).there is little or no accountability by the failures of our govt.the crooks & scammers get reelected even though they have a 9% approval rating.how is this possible?too late to fix.sad.

Wasn't there talk awhile back about a retail bubble? If not methinks this may be it, even if it qualifies as a microbubble. ReplyRetail Sales Are Weak, But No Towel Being Thrown In [view article]
Bill ~ Didn't the economic stimulas checks help out in May-July, lets wait until the August-Sept numbers are in. Without them last couple months your numbers may have been a LOT weaker.Retail is the trade right now, pity the last guy buying before the turn. Reply
Retail Sales Are Weak, But No Towel Being Thrown In [view article]
The arrogance of over consumption in a credit economy has final reached a tipping point. High end retail has to rethink merchandising because everyone rich and poor is being hit by higher inflation. If one has to choose between nesessary living staples or Chanel and Prada food, gas and rent win.. This was a long time coming.

nyka, I was starting to worry about you. It's been over a week since your last comment here, and we just had no idea who of us was losing credibility due to our typographical wrongdoing, or what sins of wordiness we were committing.Glad to see you are back at your post, pointing out the transgressions of our copyediting ways.

Eh...adjust those numbers by the devaluation of the dollar over that time period and you'll see that today's $385 billion isn't all that great.~X~ Reply

Do you mean that Walmart is moving up in quality, or Macy's has moved down? The Macy's I go to looks much different than the local Walmart Superstore, in both layout and quality of merchandise. ReplyJPMorgan Mortgage Losses - Fast Money Recap (8/12/08) [view article]
JPM had said racked up...Confusing; word omitted. Edit your copy so as not to detract from your credibility.The financials are rallyling DESPITE THE FACT THAT...WORDY; try rallying, EVEN THOUGH.....

Today K+S AG a European specialty fertilizer supplier reported fantastic earnings. They more than quadrupled the year ago quarter. This may be the impetus to turn around the POT, MOS, and AGU trades. They moved to the upside yesterday when the dollar weakened. However, they are continuing to move up today even with a relatively strong dollar. Grain futures are up today. Oil futures are up slightly. Things are boding very well for POT et al. ReplyNielsen: Expect U.S. Back-to-School Sales of Nearly $1.6B [view article]
i agree, back to school supplies are different from gift purchases, but even now, i'm being surprised by how many people have told me they're waiting til the week after school starts to buy school stuff, ie, even cheaper ReplyWhat Goes Up... Short-Term Reprieve Likely in August [view article]
Andrew,Very helpful article. Now that we've given up much of the gains, do you anticipate a continuation of the ST move up, or a big trend move down?

If a short squeeze started to develop in an ETF, wouldn't an institutional invester simply deposit a large amount of money and "create" a large number of new shares? That should collapse the squeeze. ReplyMost Heavily Shorted ETFs [view article]
6 times outstanding shares? Wow.Those the buying and selling of these ETFs actually impact the price of the underlying index somehow? Does a short squeeze in the ETFs entail a short squeeze in all stocks represented by the ETF? Reply
