    Breaking Up with ETFs is Hard To Do [view article]
    I guess it depends on whether you're a momentum investor, a value investor, or an income investor. Momentum investors love trailing stops, altho 8% seems a little tight. Value investors are more into long term capital gain than short term price movements. Income investors are more concerned with maintaining and increasing dividend and covered call income than with day-to-day, or even month-to-month share price variations. Reply

    What signals can be used to get back in after getting out below the 200-day or 8% down? How do you keep from getting whipsawed? Reply

    The $64 Trillion Question: What's the Dollar Really Worth? [view article]
    U.S. has a strong military? You have got to be kidding me. George and Dick have squandered it in Iraq, We're over extended, the equipment is getting used up, and the troops are on their 2nd, 3rd or even approaching their 4th deployment. Recruitment is down, and where it is up, they are taking in those with only 1 conviction, and lowering the standards for education. We are spent. Printing more 'paper' money is the only thing keeping us alive. We couldn't take on another war like against Syria or Iran without massive investment of our own capital (people, new equipment, etc ).
    Just my own humble opinion, but with Cheney talking WAR over in the Georgia and Ukraine, Putin knows we don't have the muscle to back up his pronouncements.
    Good Luck, we'll need it.

    While I applaud your can-do and hope eventually that we won't be talking about carbon-producing vehicles -- their are better future alternatives -- cos100 pointed out correctly that even the home delivery option requires two investments -- a nat gas storage capability and in-garage unit that costs an additional $1600 - $2000 AND takes the 16 hours for a re-fill. Honda and soon Toyota are forward-thinking companies that have stepped up to the plate, and they are to be applauded.

    My point was that a nat gas conversion and delivery system depends on many variables before diffusion can extend down to the individual vehicle -- early adopters as yourselves aside. Pickens simply points out that the Port of Long Beach and now the Port of Los Angeles are two high-impact, immediate examples of those with the resources and desire to move ahead with conversion. Since trucking is the other carbon-belching major problem, that's the direction to place the initial emphasis.     Reply

    I couldn't agree with you more, paultaut.

    My take is, since folks in Asia are bigger savers, and as their economy expands, they will want a lifestyle more like ours' in the US and Europe. I think there will be more intra region trade in Asia. These countries will divest from US dollar in the long term. I just doesn't make sense to hold on to a perpetually depreciating currency.

    Also I am sure they are keenly aware that the US has an increasing aging population, just like Europe and Japan. Therefore consumption will be shifting, and a net divestment in the stock market will occur. Their net investment strategy will be adjusted downward accordingly.

    I believe the rest of the world will be increasingly reluctant to finance our trade deficit after seeing our gross mismanagement in the financial sector, irresponsible government bailouts, and a general population of net spenders instead of savers/investors.

    As a nation we had achieve much, and rightfully we should be proud of it. However, over the years we had been prideful in our ways. Look at the government, we think we can solve the financial fallout by manipulating the market through artificially holding interest rates and injecting liquidity into the economy (i.e. encouraging spending). Our energy policy is to send our troops (children) to middle east to 'secure' oil there. We think the rest of the world should [rightfully] finance our lifestyle, because if they don't they will not have jobs - how laughable!

    You know the age old saying:

    "Pride comes before a fall"

    I think this fall is coming, and it will be a hard one.

    SOLUTION:
    1. Smaller government, lower taxes
    2. Get rid of the Federal Reserve
    3. Start saving more     Reply

    Conservation plus the above will have to prevail. Public transportation, centralized population clusters and many other innovative strategies for existance in concert with the planet is manditory.
    Did I mention term limits for government offices? It will never happen unless the voters make it happen. Vote out the incumbents.     Reply

    It's called a long term horizon. You know, one that is slightly more than a week or a month. Find the Bogleheads forum and you'll see what I mean.

    My ETFs can drop as much as they want. If you're holding for a 30 year time horizon a small blip now is nothing to get that excited about. I just keep buying according to schedule.

    The $64 Trillion Question: What's the Dollar Really Worth? [view article]
    A Japanese style Bank implosion is still possible since our Financial Institutions insist on playing Shell games with their "Assets". They are afraid to Bite the Bullet and continue to place their hopes on the suspension of the FASB's Mark to Market Rule.

    The longer this continues, the greater the chances of another few cockroaches appearing.

    Mutual Funds are going to start their Annual Sales to meet their distribution requirements. Insurers will have to raise funds for liabilities incurred this Hurricane season. Financial Institutions are raising capital however they can, going wherever they can, from asset sales to sales of themselves. None of these bodes well for the Stock Market, toss in dollar strength, declining commodity prices and a new weakness in the Tech Sector, what were the last bastions of strength in the S&P are gone.

    I have seen sundry Bull comments about "since we were the first to experience weakness, we will be the first to climb out." Global Strength emerged in the Emerging Market Sector and led the Developed World upward. Weakness there has led to Developed World declines. As a service based economy, we are dependent on expansion elsewhere. We will be amongst the last to recover.

    A stronger dollar will not bring our Manufacturing Complex back to life, we are Dependent on Foreign Oil...definitely. We are also dependent on all of the Manufacturing Facilities whch are no longer on US soil.     Reply

    The biggest threat of US dollar is the national debt. I am not sure why you didn't mention it in your article. Reply

    Let's play this out if interest rate is cut to say, 1.75%.

    If I am a major holder of US$, I would probably want to seek out higher returns, or buy something of returning value with my depreciating dollars. Better yet, store their wealth in precious metals or assets in high demand like oil or within the energy value chain.

    Who are the major holders of US$?
    - Saudis
    - China
    - India
    - Japan
    - Singapore
    - EU

    I think we will see a lot of these dollars coming back to America - HYPERINFLATION!!!     Reply

    Once again your comments are exceptional. Thank you...and I too believe an interest rate cut might be coming quickly because everything is beginning to smell and look deflationary (of course that's an illusion) and we know Chairman Ben does not like deflation. I can just hear his helicopters revving their engines...know what I mean? Reply

    AEB, BRAHM--

    right on! NG, like any commodity will sell at price well above production cost, if it has little competition. the EOPs aren't in business to lose $$$$. unneeded wells will be shuttered, awaiting another day. or exported if good business[ LNG at $12-16 lately--$25 plausable?]     Reply

    most of the above commentary was true/stated about most empiric communities since many years BC. for reasons common to those offered above, these same have come and gone[some would say, risen/fallen].

    this all reminds me of words by Cicero in 50 BC-- "... we owe too much to foreign states....we consume too...our savings ...poor. etc etc.... what is it about--"the past is prologue...?

    sachapp464, your right about Honda and for the commuter and in-home retrofit kit to your compressed home gas line lets you fill over night. A near empty tank will take almost 16 hours to fill. I'm not sure how convenient to fill on the road with CNG vehicles. Maybe they fill at a quicker rate due to their source pressure. Here's a link to the vehicle Honda is manufacturing. There are tax credits and the like, HOV use in California and other incentives.
