Wednesday Outlook: The Fake Rally Follies

Why all the anger when we're in the best money making opportunity since the 90's. You can protect yourself with options and let your profits ride. Some folks won't admit a recovery is in the works until it's too late, which mainly seem to be disgruntled republicans. Others will make fortunes. The last 10 years was the real fantasy land, not the past year. The securitization market, derivatives and the resulting housing bubble was manipulation to the Nth level with its corresponding stock market rise. This is a recovery rally from Armageddon lows with the Armageddon priced out. We're still 4,000 points below the DOW high.

Are Financial Stocks Preparing for 'The Fall'?

Obviously one of the pissed off ones. Too bad, so sad.

John Paulson: Long Financials

"How long between his actual trades and reporting? Cause when he sells it will signal the coming disaster that is bearing down on us. Too bad he isn't forced to release his positions daily. Then we all might have a chance in hell of avoiding the brunt of the next crash."

I doubt he committed $3 billion with the thought of pulling it out in a month or two. The Fed doesn't plan on raising rates for at least a few months. With the decreased competition in the banking industry, the spread in interest rates and a bottoming of the RE market, Paulsen made a very smart move. Too bad the doom and gloomers are missing out.
