      Not a global slowdown; just a reversal to mean. The chart clearly shows how overextended the index was. Sep 28 11:14 AM

      Great comments, professor!

      I also wonder if market looked FORWARD - and forecast - the the dotcom meltdown 6 months prior to it ;)       Apr 02 08:53 AM
    • Stocks Rally on Financial Writedowns: Overly Optimistic? [view article]
      Why go back a year? Just last quarter, AAPL stock fell; even with "better than expected" earnings.

      And mind you, it is not just write downs with banks, they also have losses for the quarter.

      I am stunned with the market's steep rise yesterday and it forces me suspect a newly hatched conspiracy among the large investment banks around the world.

      After LEH press release, its shares fell 5% that evening they waited to announce after the quarter end). Than at about 1:30 am, the wires flashed the UBS story and Asian markets fell. By 8:30 am everything was hunky-dory. By the end of the day, "everyone" had a logical rationale that big write downs and big losses are good for banks, especially IBs.       Apr 02 08:35 AM

    • 4 Reasons To Be Bullish on Chesapeake Energy [view article]
      Chad:

      It appears that your #3 reason "Extensive Hedging Program" doesn't seem to hold for CHK. When natural gas - along with all commodities - fell on Mar 19/20, CHK fell right with it - reaching a low of 42.15 on 3/20 (-5.76 from the close of 3/18) before recovering to close at 44.29; but still -3.62 from 3/18 close. I should also note that the broad rose significantly on 3/20!

      I would very much welcome your interpretation of this movement.

      Thanks.       Mar 23 01:53 PM

      Is the "High" in the table "52-wk" high or "All Time" high?

    • 8 High-Yielding Stocks for Income Investors [view article]
      Often, articles about high-yielding stocks don't warn the readers enough about the danger that such stocks can drop in value substantially. The author, Robert Nabloid, finally mentions that fact in response to comments rather than in his main article.

      Comment by "I'm a moron" is indicative of this. Buying GOOG for dividends??? That's the first time I have heard of this.

      Chasing only dividends is hazardous to your portfolio. In many cases, especially in a bear market such as now, the dividend yields look tempting only because the share prices have tumbled and *NOT* necessarily because those are GOOD companies paying GOOD dividends.

      Some commentors have echoed this reality in this thread.

      I am also very curious to learn about the pros and cons of Canadian Royalty Trusts. When I look at one such as PGH with great fundamentals up trending "stock" with 14% dividend, I ask myself: Is it too good to be true?

      Seeking others' wisdom,

    • The Problem With BRIC in 2008 [view article]
      The author is warning us more about China than any other BRIC countries...may he should have entitled his article: "The Problem With China in 2008".

      Some of us may remember the "Goldilocks" scenario in the US everyone talked about: Low inflation, low interest rates, high GDP...well some of the BRIC countries have that now.       Jan 09 01:39 AM
    • The Next Credit Crisis Will Originate in China [view article]
      Great but scary insight. The following in the article may be an oversight:

      "The Chinese NPL market is one of the largest in the world with a total outstanding principal balance of over a trillion dollars."

      You probably don't mean "NPL"?

      I would be more scared if it was.
