Sobering Stat: ARMS Index Indicates Market Is at Peak, Not Bottom [View article]
Look, this is a trader's market. FORGET LOGIC!!! When you see a stock starting up, follow it 60% then sell, sell, sell. I bought in March. I now sold enough stock, which was only 20% of my holdings, to recoup my investment. When my other stocks go down 15% i will sell them all and wait for a bottom...and buy again....and again....and again! My total gain on this trade will be around 340%. Tha'ts the way you play this market. I suggest you learn the rules.

Derivatives are used to increase earnings. Let's take for example a house you buy. You have three components..the interest you pay, the property and the insurance on the property. The bank takes each instrument and sells them individually. Then it insures each component by putting a rating, which, BTW, the bank pays for..as a type of insurance. So there you go. The you have 6 SIV's and the only item that has value is the house. The rest is air. All these SIV's are bundled, so that gives you a small idea of the mess these banks made. What's in each bundle? Care to guess?

The Real Truth:
All they had to do was switch the MBS from M2M to Mark to maturity and they would not have had any losses, This was all a short selling scheme to ripoff your retirement.
