  • 10 Contrarian Reasons for a Bottom [View article]
    Mr. Hui - You're the one who called 'Oil at $50 before $150' during the summer. Unlike some of the other articles around here with no sort of track record (Tacitus - cough, cough), I'll take yours with a lot less skepticism. Thanks!

  • Thursday Outlook: Wipeout? [View article]
    'Just when I thought I was out, you pulled me back in.'

    Isn't that also Al Pacino in one of the Godfather movies?

    Enjoyed the article as usual. Thanks.

  • Chasing Unicorns: The Cycle Gods Are Still Playing with Us Mere Mortals [View article]
    Not that it's important or anything, but percentage-wise, how high did that 900 pt rally end up ranking in biggest 1 day gains for the DOW?

  • The Cramer Crash? [View article]
    Bah, it's silly to think that Cramer caused this drop. If he had that much clout, then why didn't the stock market soar when he was calling a bottom a few weeks earlier?

    He's an entertainer. Listen to his advice at your own risk.

  • Playing for a Bounce? [View article]
    Wow - I just read an AP article where Britain is completely banning (temporarily) shorting all together.

    See:

  • Playing for a Bounce? [View article]
    @Marvin - psst, it's paradigm, not paradyne. But seriously I hear ya and am also feeling the pain.

    In regards to the article - I thought naked short selling has always been illegal, but only now are they finally going after the perpetrators. And I fail to see how this prevents *all* shorting, nor how it is making it illegal for stocks from going down?

  • The Long Case for U.S. Equities [View article]
    I agree with the basic premise that the market will go up in the next 3-5 years, but I have to take exception with using a 3 year and a YTD chart for your analysis.

    You wouldn't look at a 1 month chart to trend for next month, or a 1 week chart to predict next week. And to use a YTD chart to predict the next 3-5 years is like using a 1 day chart to predict what's going to happen next week or a 1 week chart to predict next quarter.

    And finally, just because markets tend to go up in the long haul, there's still a chance that it might not over the next 3-5 years. SPY certainly didn't do so well if you bought back in as the dot com bubble was gradually bursting in 2001-2002 rather than the true bottom in 2003.
