Direxion to Reverse Split 3x Financial ETFs After Steep Fall in Price

your idea is true for a NORMAL security, but FAS and FAZ are different vehicles. this is the first time where a RS will be BENEFICIAL for people trading it.....

Roubini the Revisionist

when did roubini predict the end of the world?? what he does is give a more SOBER view of what can happen. i would rather hope for the best and prepare for the worst than to trade as if everything were fine and that this market were going to go straight up. according to your s/p predictive numbers, this will never correct.

now THAT scares me.

Roubini the Revisionist

funny, too - this is REALLY what he said:


"Because I said the recession is going to be over by year-end, people say I am an optimist, but I've been saying the same thing for a while," Roubini said.

"I would say compared to current consensus, I am much more bearish," he said. "Compared to other people that say it's going to be a doomsday, I could be considered an optimist."

Roubini stood by a recent article in which he mentioned the possibility of a "perfect storm" in 2010.


but then i guess the point of your article would be moot if you had originally quoted the above, right? LOL

Roubini the Revisionist

i guess time will tell....
things change and i respect anyone who can "revise" his opinion based on new developments.
your article would have had more punch if roubini had made an about-face and started singing happy songs and rainbows started shooting out of his ass, but, alas, this is not what happened. he changed his view of the near term future of the economy. big whoop.


yawn.

next time write about something with a bit more oomph.

A Summertime Short Play with SDS

if people who think that this market is going to continue the rally on through the summer and that the market is going to close the year markedly UP, please tell me when you think ANY type of correction will occur? without any correction this "recovery" will have NO FOUNDATION whatsoever and we will crash even WORSE later on in 2010, correct?

A Summertime Short Play with SDS

no offense but mid november FAZ was about 85 bucks a share and FAS was 35. (and i think you mean "respectively"...?). decay of 50% and another big drop in RIFIN on a correction - if it were to get FAZ back up to 30-40 would be a gift....LOLOLOL

Why This Rally Is Unsustainable

Hedge-fund manager Doug Kass, who this year was bullish on U.S. equities, now says the stock market could drop between 5 and 6 percent given the magnitude of its rally in recent weeks.

"Given the scope and duration of the recent market advance, I believe that the U.S. equity market is vulnerable to a short-term decline of 5 percent to 6 percent," Kass said in a note to clients on Monday. -

sounds like he is predicting a correction to me.....



look, i am no bear, but are you people so deluded into thinking that this is the end of it; that this market is going to rise unfettered?? get real, peeps!

The Swine Flu Swoon: What the Markets Didn't Need

wow. kind of smug, aren't we? don't tell me - you didn't vote for obama and you still can't get over the fact that he is president....

well, luckily for him, a Gallup average showed Obama with a 63 percent approval rating for his first three months, the highest rating for a new president since the 1970s.

i guess the rest of america doesn't think that he's doing all that bad a job.


get over it.

Stewart vs. Cramer: A Cheap Shot

ummmmmmmmmm....anyone ever hear of COMEDY?? did you not laugh?? what is wrong with you people? yes, they cherry picked. THAT IS WHAT COMEDY WRITERS DO!! newsflash: the daily show, on COMEDY CENTRAL, is a COMEDY SHOW.
lighten up, frank. this would have been a one-bit segment had cramer and cnbc not gotten all bent out of shape and dismissed stewart as an insignificant clown. it looks like they called him out and he answered. and BOY DID HE ANSWER. i think that they will leave well enough alone this time. 3 spankings is about all they can take.

Was the Global Equities Crash Related to Obama's Election?

so amusing. you are kidding, aren't you? what's worrying markets around the world is the collapse of the banking system in the US, which began well before obama was seen as the next possible president. your two and a half paragraph dissertation needs some work, chum. i am surprised that seeking alpha even allowed this article to be published. SLOPPY work, pundit.
