Treasury Bonds: The Short of the Century [view article]
My timing on this article was clearly off as it is now patently obvious and as pointed out by several of the comments (fxtrader07, djzvue and others). clerly inflation is of the table for a while and while the US government creditworthiness look even worst know with all the bailouts and the recession looking much worst, there are really not much safe alternatives to treasuries right now. There will come the day to short them but it is probably many months/year(s) off. ReplyKey Asset Class Returns of the Week [view article]
Andrew, I would if they had public funds with prices my software could download. Mostly I focus on passive index funds in these tables. There are passive index and rules driven commodities funds in the list from Barclays and Deutsche Bank. Sorry I don't have the active managed futures funds. ReplyAbraham

S&P 500 Safety Over 5-Year and 10-Year Periods [view article]
It looks to me like we are staring down the barrel of a long term double top. Look away folks, this is not going to be pretty. ReplyS&P 500 Safety Over 5-Year and 10-Year Periods [view article]
We must be getting close to some kind of a bottom. Everyone is Neg and everyone is talking about the big drawn out bear.Could it be the age profile of peopl writing these stories is such that this would be a nightmare?

Pimco's Bill Gross: Bailout Plan Benefits Main Street [view article]
There are three thousand community banks that are capital starved or near capital starved.When Wall Street absorbs the $700 billion, Main Street banks will pay dearly to maintain their capital ratios.
It makes more sense to distribute the $700 billion to American community banks so they can lend for local transactions or use it to recapitalize Wall Street. Reply

The problem is: They won't find that 700B money who wants to buy T bond at 3 or 4%. Japs? Chinese? Arabs? They will walk away.If the Treasury can't bring foreign dollars back into America, this plan will be USELESS!

Makes excellent sense to me. As for his offer of free service intelligence, so long as it is complemented with appropriate oversight, it sounds like a good offer. ReplyPimco's Bill Gross: Bailout Plan Benefits Main Street [view article]
You'd think that the vast amounts of money sitting on the sidelines would jump at such a great opportunity. How much did Pimco make again on the Fannie Freddie Bail out -- was it $6B or was it $7B - I guess one good philanthropic turn deserves another -With the announcement of the Fannie bail out Gross stated that the Category 4 financial storm had been downgraded to a Tropical Storm -- what a difference a week makes...

RF is up 30% from last Thursday and over 100% from the middle of July. The market is anticpating that Congress will approve this bail out so I beleive that "sell the news" will be the reaction.RF will see $10 before it sees $17. And that is without the shorts in the market. Reply

The otherside of the coin is, if you are playing it for a quick trade on the bailout news, then you can rest assured more SQUEEZE is left in that puffy RF charmin. Me contridicting myself is sorta like this market: maddening. ReplyHoping Regions Financial Runs Up Again [view article]
RF had one the largest % of shorts (as of last Wednesday before the rules changed) with about 12% of the available float in play. Was thinking about playing RF myself like DUDE above, cause I bank there and am generally impressed, but that short % spooked me. Of course we dont know how much of that run up to near 20 he mentioned was short covering...I suspect a lot...but even so I will pass. Shorts generally are smarter than the average Joe. ReplyDaltorio
A Black Hole Nearly Swallows Wall Street [view article]
Scared Stiff is right - our country seems headed toward more of a socialism mix like Mussolini's. ReplyA Black Hole Nearly Swallows Wall Street [view article]
The etfs FXE and FXA offer protection from a run on the dollar and both give a decent money market yield over 4%. Over the last 2 years, the USA lost >700 billion each year overseas to trade. The Euro union lost 15 billion this year but gained 10 billion euros the year before. It may be time to start thinking of a safe place to hide. Reply
