the Nikkei is now back down to the level it was at in 1982!

and it took about 20 years.

so Dow below 1000 as it was in 1982 is not out of the realm of possibility.]]> Tue, 03 Mar 2009 23:44:27 -0500

1. You could have written this same article in late November when AAPL bottomed at about $79. RSI and MACD both diverging. Only to ride AAPL up to about $105 and back down again to $78.

2. What is your comment on AAPL now? Looks to me like a double top or at lease resistance at $105. also the RSI is looking overbought and MACD is weakening.

You're right. i sent this thing off before reading the whole post thoroughly. He does mention the tracking error problem towards the end of the article.

My bad.]]> Thu, 12 Feb 2009 13:06:39 -0500

I have a small position in TBT, about 25% of what i plan to invest, read speculate, in. When it becomes more clear that the bubble is bursting i will add to the position.

During the summer i went both short and long oil because i wasn't sure how when the bubble would burst. I lost a little on the long, but more than made up for it on the short.]]> Sun, 28 Dec 2008 14:54:04 -0500

I am not crazy about the negative wording of the question. If 22.7% of the respondents belive that there will not be a crash in the next six months, does that mean that 77.3% believe that there will be a crash?

What is the definition of a crash? Would a grinding out 1-day up/2-days down move for six months be a crash? If not, we could end up just as far down as if there were a similar move over a few days.]]> Sat, 27 Dec 2008 13:54:41 -0500

That in mind, the WLI has been negative for over a year now. But no declared recession.

My conclusion is that the reported economic statistics upon which recessions are based are distorted. That we have been in a recession for at least six months if not longer.]]> Sun, 19 Oct 2008 20:07:23 -0400

But you left out one very obvious possibility. It doesn't have to come from any one stock or any one sector. Isn't possible that they could ALL drop by 20% more or less to take the averages down?]]> Sat, 12 Jul 2008 01:15:35 -0400
