How the U.S. Financial Crisis Resembles Japan’s 'Lost Decade' - And How to Play it

Your extrapolation of Japan to assess the US market is flawed and basically TRASHES your theory weak theory. The US has low unemployment, even including your 20% increase reference. Japan had a 0% savings rate and interest rate that made their Central Bank ineffective. Guess what, 5% increase in the US savings rate and the rates will head higher once stability in Financials is concrete. Also, due to your lack of Real Estate knowledge in the New York, foreigners have always invested in the NY for years. Even in the bull run up, you have investors for every nation from Israel, Russia, Europe, Middle East and South America. Please dont scare people bec they are not scared bec you have no crfedibility.

These Days, Preferred Stocks Are Anything But Dull

Thank you Mr obvious!

As Merrill Reports, Short Squeeze in Financials Continues

The writer knows what, based on this article prefers to quote yahoo blog posts. The writer is not a real writer and Seekingalpha is a glorified blog. Do you take any credence in what he says, no. I think bankers understand the market has changed and are mitigating the situation as has the SEC, the Fed, the government and the treasury. Writedowns will continue and the banks will improve their books as well.

Why I'm Committed to the UltraShort Financials ETF

Stick to being a lawyer. I think that we have a turning point. Look a the volume on the ETFs for financials on tuesday, at all time highs. Capitualtion with an exclamation. Granted we may need another quarter to move thru the write downs but, as Barrons claims, the real estate is at a bottom. Look for interest rates to rise in october after the focus shifts from real estate/financials. We cant exist without financials!!!!!! All this gloom has affected your judgement.

Preferred Stocks Get Crushed

look at anything from insurance giants PUK & AEG. I thought preferreds were somewhat immune with the 5 year call option and better than any instrument in terms of yield and have been burned the last month. Every time i think it should stop. losses accelerate. I mean its ridiculous with 10-15 prices on these stocks???? I love the analysts who compared financials to pets.com (henry blodgett, a real tool) so we will all just leave money in our desks. And why losses on AEG?PUK, what risk do they have but to pay for ever high rates. I love how the media uses words like CAN or COULD or rumor. These guys are using this as a reason for all of us to read. Remember Bill Gross of PIMPCO says they havent stopped trading with LEHMAN yet every media outlet claims rumor of large institutions not trading with them. Why feed the fire.
