    What Does Moody's Downgrade Warning Mean? [view article]
    Perhaps "Moody's" is a becoming or presenting a "Threat to U.S. National Security." Your comment or opinion on that, if the "Executive Branch" were to take such a position or stance? Reply

    When an index falls into bear market territory, is that an indication of a bottom or continued decline ? Reply

    Decoupling is Happening; Still Hope for Global Growth [view article]
    The world economy goes through cycles, each repeating the pattern but starting from a different point, the end point of the last cycle.

    This is the last cycle where decoupling still doesn't fly. The "3rd world" is still too dependent on exports to the US and related economic activity to escape a US recession unscathed.

    Next time it will be different. Not this time.     Reply

    Recent ETF Performance Shows Weakness Almost Everywhere [view article]
    You're looking at the wrong ETFs for this time/market. Look at the ultrashorts. I'm up 15.6% YTD primarily because of them. There's nowhere else to be at the moment. Reply

    Baltic Dry Freight Index Indicates Impending Recession [view article]
    I have been short EXM since 12/3/07. My puts are up 164%. All of what is said above is true, but short-term, decreased economic activity is going to continue downward pressure. On the upswing, some months from now, this area is a big winner. But not today. Reply

    Are Margin Loans a Major Cause for Concern? [view article]
    Margin goes both ways these days-long and short. If you went out on margin and bought SKF or SRS or SDS or really any ultra-short etf, you have no worries at this point. Reply

    Fed's Indecisiveness Under Pressure Is Cause for Criticism [view article]
    Cutting rates is far less inflationary than a higher deficit that would be the result on increased government spending / rebate checks.

    There is a severe liquidity crisis and it is being caused by this Federal Reserve Bank. There is no money in the system period, except with Foreign holders of US Treasuries who get a tax free return of 5%.

    The interest on US Treasury Debt of $9 trillion is now $450 billion a year. If rates are not cut to zero% ASAP that $9 trillion is going to become $90 trillion soon. There is no need for the US Treasury to be paying these usurius tax free payouts, engineered by The FED.     Reply

    The fall is so steep. Hopefully it is a sharp and quick one. Fed needs to set back interest rate to 2%. Somehow, he is still dreaming. Reply

    Baltic Dry Freight Index Indicates Impending Recession [view article]
    Given that part of the run-up in the BDI was due to congestion at one Australian port, here's an article explaining why many ships will be "out of work" for a while. It helps explain the see-saw in price, maybe.

    From Mineweb
    www.mineweb.com/minewe...

    In the meantime, Forbes reported Monday, that "with an iron ore port closing outside of Rio de Janeiro and increasing uncertainty around upcoming iron ore negotiations, the demand for dry bulk ships, as well a charter rates, have fallen." Vale announced last week that the Itagui maritime terminal in Rio de Janeiro would be closed for a few weeks for repairs after an accident last month damaged the facility.

    Jefferies & Co. analyst Douglas J. Mavrinac told Forbes that "by not having the volumes on the water it has caused the spot price of iron ore to increase and created a tighter market which benefits the miners when it comes to negotiation." Maximum Group analyst Charles Rupinski said a lot of ships aren't getting hired because of the upcoming iron ore negotiations because companies want to know how much iron ore will cost before hiring a ship. If prices increase with iron ore comprising 25% of all dry bulk trade, Rupinski forecast that more ships will be hired.

    This is an over-reaction to the economic downturn. China and India (and the rest of Asia for that matter) aren't going to quit importing dry commodities. The iron ore has to get from Brazil to China somehow. The majority of shipping stocks are selling at very reasonable pe multiples. Take a look at EXM - you buy it now and you will be happy by the end of the year. Reply

    the only questions then, are:

    how long before his credibility wears off?

    is the market's assumption of a .5% cut and 30% chance of a .75% cut realistic or is Ben just fooling us again?     Reply
