Grab Your Shorts, The Correction Has Begun

Sorry, but to me, this article screams of someone who's been short since March........

Time to Take Profits?

The bears have been harping that we're due for a monumentous correction since April..........
They've also missed out on much of the rally. So yeah, if it were me, I'd be a little bummed out too....LOL

UNG Hasn't Changed the Laws of Natural Gas Supply and Demand

Seems clear UNG has reached a 'theoretical' floor, give or take a bit. Not clear on the timing, but way more upside than down over the next 12 months.
Yes, I'm long......

Are Stocks Way Overbought?

I'd say yes, a correction is overdue and will probably hit early Sep/Oct timeframe. But my bet is on a smaller one, not the doomsday crash everyone has been posting about for some 5 months......

Market Cycles: A Look at the Historical Evidence

Spot on about all the name calling. Generally, I believe that in psychology, they refer to that as "a defense mechanism for someone on the wrong side of an argument or line of thought."

There's always someone, somewhere on the wrong side of the market, and it will punish you handily if you think otherwise.

Friday Jobs Report Discounted: Why the Rally Will Continue

Jasper must be shorter than Danny Devito!! LOL

Sentiment Driving Prices Higher: Bull Is in Full Stampede Mode

Can someone explain the competing factors of 'high investor emotion' and 'light trading volumes'.....???

Confidence doesn't appear to be there totally, but yet the market continues to ignore the 'less bad' news....

Dow Target 6,617, October 25, 2009: Here Is Why

It's interesting that you say 'earnings estimates are way too optimistic' when there's a stampede of folks yelling that the reason some 77% of companies BEAT expections this quarter was becasue they were too conservative.....

For every yin....a yang I suppose.....

Q2 GDP Advance: -1% vs. -1.5% consensus and -6.4% (revised) in Q1. GDP price index +0.2% vs. +1% consensus and +1.9% in Q1. Q2 Personal consumption -1.2% vs. -0.5% consensus and +0.6% in Q1. In a nutshell: production fell less than expected, inflation was nonexistent, and consumption plunged.

Looks like 'buying on the rumor' gets whacked by 'selling on the news'.....
Interesting to see if the reality of the underlying GDP component changes (consumption especially) mean to the market as we move along today......

The Age of Turbulence: Preparing for the Crash

Who would have predicted so many predictions that really don't claim to be able to predict anything.....

But for anyone who will listen.....

24 Trillion Reasons to Buy Gold

The American people got what they wanted last November.....irrational spending in the government.

So now, we must all pay the price for this...in an ever smothering tax burden that forces the consumer to save just to pay the government!!

Well, at least our spending will grow something.....

U.S. Economy: Everything Is Good, And the Bad Isn't Applicable

Wow, a lot of gloom and doom in this thread. Hey guys, why not just ride the wave and be ready at a moment's notice to go defensive. You really CAN make money in any market. So don't dwell on the end of the world so much. Sit back, take a deep breath and enjoy life. I recently lost my job, so I can say that......

RealtyTrac: Q2 Foreclosure Activity Highest on Record

All the data coming in smacks of S&P 800, here I come......

Today in Commodities: The Double-Edged Sword

Can't believe NG move yesterday....fundamentals say it has nowhere to go but down. But then, who cares about fundamentals??

Highest Returns: Gold, Silver, Platinum or Aluminum?

Interesting data, but at the end of the day, people make money on PM's, they lose money on PM's. Kinda like any other investment. Yes, you can even make money during a 600 year bear....
