Are Financial Stocks Preparing for 'The Fall'?

Theyre trading them up to then short them. It's not new money in the market, It's Uncle Sam's (YOU'RE money) being traded. Suckers :P

Where's the Derivatives Exposure?

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?

Forget the 1930s; We're Reliving 1975 (Part 1)

Personally, i hope it does. Gives me time to accumulate for retirement. I am also of the opinion that this market will ramge trade for 10 to 12 years.

Barron's Big Money Poll: Bullish, But with Little Conviction

I do hope the market jumps next week. That means gold goes down and i can accumulate more. However if gold rises with the market BEWARE!!! That means there is little belief in the market.

Despite Fed, Money Supply Contracting

People, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to buy stocks, before the banks can roll in. Go in easy. I am all cash in my 401K. However i am buying good dividend paying stocks and gold/miners. Started buying like i would have 25 years ago. Taking it easy while my cash is safe. Slowly rolling in, especially Argentina and Brazil.

Despite Fed, Money Supply Contracting

So why do you buy them? I'm buying stocks paying 5.9% dividend. I'm putting away 15% of my salary in my 401K. gives me a 33% tax break and lowers my tax bracket. Buying gold and gold mineing stocks. To hell with CD's and banks. I also get 7% dividend from my Credit Union on my shares. Why the heck would any idiot buy CD's at 1.5% when even 30 year treasuries provide 3.75%. At least try savings bonds.

Mark to Make-Believe

My 175,000 dollar house i bought in 2002 is now worth $1,000,000 USD because i say so. :)

Stock Rally Built on Fundamental Sand

Now we can value assets however we want and leverage all stocks at 2,000,000,000:1. S&P at 40,000!!!! WOW. Jump in the waters fine, just a few sharks in the water :)

Government Intervention: 'Kill the Chicken to Scare the Monkey'

You want to know what's really funny? So many complaining about Govt intervention in the markets and then they go buy chinese stocks. Who the hell you think owns the stocks in a Communist country? Dang people are dumb.

FASB Unlikely to Suspend Mark to Market

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. Now in a depression their dollars will be worth much more and you will be in the doghouse. Congrats and remember if anything goes down more than 10% GET THE F#$% OUT!!!! Me, i made 4000 last year trading. Thank you for your contribution to my retirement!!!!

S&P Set for 50%+ Gains? Not So Fast, UBS

Everyone forgets the Dollar. The dollar is about to unwind and go down to 62. Equities will rally. Then its doomsday. Dow 3000.

S&P Set for 50%+ Gains? Not So Fast, UBS

It's going down to 550-600 after a bear market rally to 1200. Look at the head and shoulders formation coming in from 2000 to 2009 and project it to 2012. The banks will make out like big dogs since they are buying japanese, chinese and UAE money. When the dollar goes to hell they will be ok but the average folks will be wiped out.
