SEC's Meagan Chung Pleads Innocent

Gawd, Felix you can't even copy her name from an article correctly and you call yourself a "writer."

It cracks me up to read how many people KNOW how easy it should have been to catch him. The same people that will know on Monday who should win the Giants-Eagles game. Even though his investors never raised a brow, and Goldman never took their suspicions to the SEC.

Everybody is looking for someone to blame and I guess it is going to be this mother of two, ex-employee. At my job, we always blame the people who leave also-it's so easy.

I just don't understand why people care about this case so much. Everyone of these "investors" who thought they were getting something too good deserves to lose it all.

TWM: An ETF Arbitrage Opportunity

< A common misconception is that ProShares should also provide 200%, -200% or -100% of index performance over longer periods, such as a week, month or year. However, ProShares' returns may be greater than—or less than—what you’d expect over longer periods. >

Apparently you have never read any of Proshares material regarding their ETFs. Shocker...

Dollar Delight

Actually, I didn't see anything about its implications in either article. If possible, please prepare a study that compares dollar uptrends to the stock market.

Is This a Recession? Wrong Question.

Piggybank, I'm sure where you live, in Underyourrockville, all that you wrote makes sense. I think the author's America-centricity can be explained by the fact that he was writing about the USA.

Corporate profits (as per S&P) are down 4 quarters in a row--in the USA. Over here, we don't consider that fairly good--and that hasn't happened outside of a recession. Meredith Whitney is on, gotta go.

Bill Miller on This Tough Market

Boo hoo. What a whiner. Here's something obvious:

"Investors need to avoid managers who "believe the market is wrong and they are right," says Mark Salzinger, editor of the No-Load Fund Investor newsletter. In a radio interview, Salzinger defined that type of manager as one who is unwilling to bend, losing objectivity about what is happening in the market, and falling in love with investments in their portfolio. Accordingly, Salzinger said he would sell Bill Miller's Legg Mason Value Trust"

Gold Should Continue to Outperform; Dollar Should Fall

"One does not want to be short the oil ETF, USO, over the weekend, as it could easily gap higher on opening on Monday March 4, 2008."

March 4?? How often do you write this piece...every other month?

Crunching the Numbers: It's Not a Recession

Yes, please spare George Bush this recession call as his list of failures has used up both sides of a page.

Let's blame it on all on Obama--even if he hasn't been elected yet.

Yes, Financial Companies Can Be Analyzed

Incidentally, I recently learned that another person who bought Wells Fargo then (as his first investment) was a young Bill Ackman...who decided, more or less as TKB does, that Wells was able to earn its way out of the hole.

What Does a Hold Rating Really Mean?

"But analyst ratings still serve as a valuable tool, and that includes the cryptic “hold” rating."

Seriously, how did you come to that conclusion?
