This Can't Be Helping Real Estate [view article]
We bought our home last September & closed @ 6.5%. So it's where it was a year ago. Relax folks. The sky is not falling. ReplyThis Can't Be Helping Real Estate [view article]
Rising rates will greatly exacerbate the crisis. Right now, the problem of ARMs adjusting higher has been muted by the drastic rate cuts; as these cuts are reversed, the number of forced sellers will only increase. Further, tighter lending guidelines will mean fewer people able to get a mortgage, particularly to buy a home at today's still inflated prices. The only thing that will eventually turn the market around is when deep pocketed speculators come in, and they wait till there is blood in the streets, and when the cost of carrying a house again begins to remotely resemble the amount for which they can be rented, and prices have a good bit to fall before either of these is the case.

The supply-demand argue for high crude price, the key questions is how high crude should/would be if we only consider the today's fundamental factors ($50-$70 cited in some media outlets). If tomorrow is today and so on, everything is constant and grows in linear relationship, I would agree the crude could go higher from current level, but reality is the crude was trade as commodities prior to 90's, and today much more asset than commodities, market sentiments and psychologies may have outweighted the supply-demand.

Whatever!!!I just lost a king's ransom when the Fed changed the rules of the game: I have August puts in 7 of the 17 banks where Bush said that you couldn't short them anymore for 30 days.
The rules CAN and WILL be changed to suit longs so don't bet on the market going lower anytime in the future...regardless of logic.

Housing and Financials as well as India and Retail rallied strongly as part of the Freddie Mac And Fannie Mae Rescue Rally which came via a rotation of the yen carry traders selling oil to take profits. Yet this "rally of the dogs" will soon be over. In the linked article I recommend that one short sell or better yet day-by-day, dollar cost average invest in gold. Replyng

bla bla bla, how many of readers or posters of this article, or the author himself can time the market, better stick to a longer time perspective, I would not be short anymore, if the market goes down, get some more long positions. I am however, 70% liquid. ReplyThe Oil Bubble Will Meet the Same Fate as Tech, Housing [view article]
I gaurante that if oil goes down to 40-50 dollars a barrell ,there won't be any oil or gas .We have been hearing this nonsense for 7 yrs , the last time oil was 20 dollars a barrell . These people were saying then that oil was a bubble .Just another uneducated writer suckering the public and people who will believe anything .

Agree with general market broad trend is lower in the months ahead. Good idea to trade which means long and short as deemed fit. Key is portfolio risk control in a weak/bear market. ReplyMarket Likely to Continue to Head Lower [view article]
We have seen a drastic turn in the Fed's stance on the economy in the past month and a half. I believe that they are focusing more on inflation than economic growth. ReplyMarket Likely to Continue to Head Lower [view article]
Nice article Andy-You touched on a lot of important sectors and trends. I read another article this morning about the housing sectors that others may be interested in: www.greenfaucet.com/fa...
This guy thinks we may be close to the bottom here and beleives that the economy's recovery hinges on not just financials but also housing and builders. Reply
