For your stinky $ to go up the Fed must rise rates to 10% and even then it will be too late as you are all,as a country just went bankrupt.
Look for ECB (European Central Bank) to begin rise rates as we,Europeans,know what your economy is worth.
EUR will rebound soon to 1.70 and USD will stay at this or lower levels before you will not open your cards as you are bunkrupt.
Bankrupt currencies are not worth much.]]>

Natural Gas Prices Set To Surge - Canaccord http://seekingalpha.com/article/90974-natural-gas-prices-set-to-surge-canaccord?source=feed#comment-230654 230654 Price of NG (don't have position today) will rise,I think the fall was because bankruptcy of Sem Group LP,big Nat Gas trader who had to liquidate positions to repay bank secured debt,when it's trading book was on the margin call.Same happened to Amaranth Advisors hedge fund 3 years ago,when they bought short term expiration futures and sold long term,those long term was when hurricanes Katrina striked,bad luck.Then they went long again after losing on the shorts in expectation of higher prices but it seems there is bigger players than 3$ billion hedge fund,and those players together with Nat Gas producers sold to Amaranth so they had to liquidate again and lost all 3$ billions.
Also Oil (supply/demand driven only) helped now to crash Nat Gas prices and the even more with Sem Group LP liquidation.
Now good news for long NG trader,Barclays Advisorsof UK bought trading book from Sem Group LP for pennies and I believe there is too many longs to let it sit at this prices.
I am positioning to jump on the first buy signal to buy NG,when it will happen?
I expect it will happen on a day when NG price will go up nicely even if CL (Crude Oil) will be little changed or even trading down.It is when then they will start to taking shorts out as it is too much billions puted on the table to make it lose,you can not believe me but don't try to play against Barclays trading desks.
But be careful,there are too many pikers on the long in NG so maybe we can see 1$ move down before rally.Be prepared.]]>

Changes in P/E Ratios During the Current Bear Market http://seekingalpha.com/article/90996-changes-in-p-e-ratios-during-the-current-bear-market?source=feed#comment-230558 230558 When stock price falls/rises so is P/E.
If company earns 2$ per share per year at the average price of 50$ per share then P/E equals 25.
If the same company earned 2$ per share and price of the stock fell down 50% so P/E will be halved too to 12.5 but the valuation didn't got any cheaper as investors don't believe the same company will deliver in the future.And the future nobody knows,what is cheap,what is expensive?Who can tell that?
The only true is that when stock price fall,investors lose and nobody cares about the P/E ratio when your bank statement shows your money been wiped out.
Don't buy into this article,your brokerage statement is the best proof of what you are worth today.
Dump this bloody market,take your money and run before it kills you.
I promise till this December the Dow Jones will be below 9000 at most best possible scenario and P/E of your stock will get even cheaper,so you must chose to take the loss and get burned or buy more to average at lower prices.But this new money will be taken from you too,as bear knows no fear,he will eat as long as you will feed him and there will be many more victims who will show you how nice is P/E of your loser looks when you will lose 50-80% on your best in the world blueest of blue chips.
Dump the grizzly bear before it sucks your blood and soul.]]>

And such stock must have a profit,because if Oil/Gas firm is losing money then it is junk like Warrior (whatever they call it,assholes) or it may be established big firm too that have same stress like very big debt,too much hedging (Sem Group LP latest fiasco) or other liabilities.
Such cases may be a good investment,like Sem Group LP, but it is not suitable for individual investor as big guys can buy whole firm,all bonds,etc.,etc., and investor will be left with nothing.

Oil Will Only Fall So Far http://seekingalpha.com/article/90716-oil-will-only-fall-so-far?source=feed#comment-229190 229190 I am Russian,only living in Frankfurt far away from the waste and industry in FSU.
Mr.Medvedev (or Mr.Putin as you quote) really catched all the Western European and American politicos on the balls and Russian bear will not losen his grip.The power have already shifted to the East,THAT'S IT.
The best thing would be for Americans to learn from Europeans,which is to shut up,sit put and buy Oil/Gas from Russia while it is still available at acceptable prices.And soon to learn to pay more and more but still sit put as nothing can be done about it,the Oil/Gas belongs to Russian federation and there is no legal framework o take it away,Russia is not stupid Iraq,it will never let it happen,never.
The author is right to point out that one day probably very soon Oil/Gas will continue to go back up and it have sense to hold Oil/Gas other resources stocks,but I would advise to buy this stocks directly from the company not through the bank or broker,as FDIC guarantees each American's deposit up to 100,000USD is insured and only if it is CD's,cash or Treasury Bonds.
All else is not guaranteed,even if investor have 50,000USD in Exxon or in Newmont Mining that he bought through his/her bank or broker,in the event broker goes bankrupt or bank,this investors will be left with nothing.As stocks they helded with their bank/broker is on the books of that institution and be written down with everything else if bank's debts exceed it's equity,capital base.
So if one prepares for Dow Jones at 5000 points (it will not take too long,already by December we will see the animal at 9000 at best) or lower,please inquire how to buy your big cap Oil/Gas/Mining stocks directly fro the company as only then you will have the prove that you are direct shareholder,not a holder of shares that are sitting on bank's balance sheet together with CDO's and other atomic junk.
Great article,you must write for the WSJ,FT and Barron's.]]>

Bear Comparison: Today's Junior Resource Sector vs. 2001's Nasdaq http://seekingalpha.com/article/90713-bear-comparison-today-s-junior-resource-sector-vs-2001-s-nasdaq?source=feed#comment-229154 229154 Now regarding small cap resources stocks,do they have real profits regarding their market cap,I have checked few and 90% at least are losing money on their expenditures for many years already,so the question is:Why somebody must support other persons ( company's )
losses.The answer will be same in every case: My stock is the best positioned to capitalize on rising price of Gold,Silver,Uranium,Co... etc.,I don't believe the answer will be different.
So was it worth to hold those small caps or microcaps last few years when prices of commodities increased and many of average investors mining stocks are down well below 40-50%.
Results tell for themselves,it was not worth.
Conclusion:
Almost everybody of investors would make much,much better buying gold coins,platinum bars,big cap mining/oil/gs stocks as many of those seen quantiple in their stock prices for the last few years,and if you take 10 years then one can retire being bought into any mid/big cap resources stock.
Advice:
Keep your small caps,as it have no sense to sell the loser now,especially if we are still very far away from the peak in oil/gas/gold/silver/pa... but then don't make a mistake selling it too cheap.As in every bubble before the crash,such small caps will rise many times over their proven/probable reserves.
So in the end all of you will be lucky and it have nothingto do with valuations as valuations are down 50% ans stocks are losing money.
I do the same as small cap investor,only I trade commodities on short term basis so my profit will not be so big but the losses too.
Good luck,let your loser fly!

U.S. Session Wrap: Meredith Whitney Does It Again http://seekingalpha.com/article/90703-u-s-session-wrap-meredith-whitney-does-it-again?source=feed#comment-229147 229147 I am a trader and watch markets every day and have a feeling for it as my account goes up and down in regard to the market movements.
All the commodities bulls become bears suddenly,it proves again nobody have an idea what is happening.
From traders perspective,for short term I can see that Crude Oil have strong support at 113$ as rising price have good volume while declines are made by pikers.I am positioning for rebound in Crude Oil and Nat Gas (I don't trade metals and don't have an opinion on that) as big balls guys are accumulating now and the ood thing is that this kind of biggest Oil/Gas traders don't buy it to make a buck,they must see the market to the future as liquidating big position in energies is not economic,with big selling volume prices will crash.They can sell only when prices go up 5-10% or more as then pikers already get bullish news and buy so big funds are nicely selling some of their positions.
Look what happened when the main traders started to sell Crude Oil from 145$ it took prices more than 30$ down,I think more than is accepted by their valuations.So I think their selling will come at 135$ at least as accumulation happened to build at around 125-115$ level.
Even if Oil may decline more in the future,first the Mafia will make their money from your shorts.
Don't listen to any analyst/expert who writes about things he don't knows about and don't trades.If would not advise a driver how to drive if would not have a driving license.
Good trading day everybody,follow your killer insticts.]]>

Somebody who wants to sell today Crude Oil at 113$ per barrel,better go and hung himself,as he is going to lose everything.
In real terms CL is at the same price it was in the 1970's,if one thinks since then there are more oil on the planet earth and nothing has been used since then and dissapeared into the atmosphere forever by burning,must be at least crazy.
The global oil reserves probably declined since then by some little change and even if demand stayed the same (did it?) the 113$ a barrel is more than the undervalued.Think again if you want to make money going short energies,already if you are bear in nature,like me,use your money shorting the Dow Jones with 20% margin required to sleep well at night and I promise you will have a lot of fun.]]>

Hedge Funds: Bigger Is Not Always Better http://seekingalpha.com/article/90234-hedge-funds-bigger-is-not-always-better?source=feed#comment-227563 227563 The big funds managers are enriching themselves only and most of their starategies are down,the Tremont Hedge Index is so volatile,it shows let's say some strategy is up/down 2% and many investors don't realize what it means.
It means that from let's say 1000 funds it is tracking,500 funds were down 99% and another 500 funds were up 100%.
That's called window dressing.Then the funds that were wiped out open new funds with different style and name to attract investors again and the winning funds are raising capital showing their super results before they will be bust too.
My advise to institutional investors would be not to invest a penny to any hedge fund if it's 10-20 years record didn't beat SP500 index.If it did,then it is OK to allocate 5% of total assets to such stable fund,all the rest is waste of time and money.]]>

Weekly Street Sentiment: Energy On Top, Financials Weakest http://seekingalpha.com/article/90273-weekly-street-sentiment-energy-on-top-financials-weakest?source=feed#comment-227550 227550 I was in the Commerzbank AG this morning in Frankfurt,Germany.Neve... European bankers looked so grim and destroyed.
My sentiment derived from my brain shows Dow Jones below 10,000 in September and below 9,000 in October.Yes,this year,of course.
Don't trust researchers,the reality is rude and if your average mutual fund holdings didn't scare you yet,the market will show you the hell very soon.Just don't sell,sit put and wait to see how money slowly dissapear somewhere.]]>

Commodities Still Well Shy of 2006 Correction http://seekingalpha.com/article/90181-commodities-still-well-shy-of-2006-correction?source=feed#comment-227234 227234 Now we are in the increase that started in 2001 that took CRB Index up 300%.
The time frame is the same if one considers we are on the top and are headed for big fall.Maybe.
But I belong to realists camp and can somebody of you count how many barrels of oil,natural gas equivalent,tons of coal,copper, metric meters of lumber,tons of aluminium,gold,platinu... etc., we have consumed since last CRB Index rally ended in 1980.
Do we have more available resources today or all of them become more depleted and where we will get new ones?
The planet earth is not a magic ball and can not give more than it has.In this perspective we are on the fair valuations for all of the CRB Index components.
Looking at Fibonacci ascending numbers I found number 610 (last CRB peak) followed by 987.
I believe we are headed for another decade of increasing CRB at least till 987 and then who knows how many commodities will be available in the quantities we need.]]>

Three Rolling Correlations in the Current Market http://seekingalpha.com/article/90105-three-rolling-correlations-in-the-current-market?source=feed#comment-226891 226891 The Friday's rally in stocks was false,we will witness it next week.
I expect bonds volatility to increase starting next week too,check your correlations again,but include there only days with at least 2-3 percent up/down in the time frame you are using.
Otherwise your research would be excellent.THANKS.]]>

A Closer Look at the Dollar Rally http://seekingalpha.com/article/90107-a-closer-look-at-the-dollar-rally?source=feed#comment-226887 226887 The real thing is not what happened,but what will happen.
The USA economy is in the great depression with banks falling and companies going bankrupt,peple losing their houses and jobs.
The only thing Americans can do is to export their goods at the discount,same Japanese do with their Toyota and Sony etc.,and even this didn't helped to bring Nikkei225 back for almost 20 years it is 70% below it's high o 45,000 points.
We are in the bear market for USD,US stocks to last at least another 10 years.One day of USD jump made you crazy,it is a dead cat's bounce.Look for EUR to be at 1.60 very soon (till September) and 1.70 thereafter.Dow Jones at below 10,000 till September and in October below 9,000.Oil reached it's bottom for sure,maybe there is more technical selling to come by and we see it few bucks lower,but it will be braken immediately as fundamentals are here and everybody fights for energy future resources (Iraq war before,next move Iran-DISASTER),Natural Gas so cheap,is like buying new Diesel jeans for 1$ forever...
Forget about charts,look into your neighbours bank statement,who will must sell his mutual fund (bonds,stocks everything goes) shares to pay for gasoline.
Technicals are good for day trade and history we know anyway.
