Market Memory: Where I’m Invested Long-Term (Part Two)

the commodity sector seems so overbought but it keeps jumping higher.

I agree with you commodities are about a global currency hedge instead of real infrastructure demand.

China is acting like the world's smartest hedge fund by stockpiling real assets instead of paper.

How Does $9000 Gold Sound?

WTF? $9,000?????

That's as ridiculous as people thinkin GOOGLE will be the next Berkshire Hathaway and that the GOOG will trade over $100,000 per share

The idiocy of using a gold standard is that you have ZERO LEVERAGE so the idea of gold being a currency is like sayin our economy is going back to the barter system of trading 1 donkey for 10 chickens

FAS/FAZ: Dangerously Crossing the Ultimate Pairs Trade

I agree with this comment. It's a way to buy volatility which is the biggest risk in the market. Up or down! People seem to forget that volatility isn't just about mkts sinking and panic. Volatility is any big movement in either direction. Like now people are panic b/c they think they missed the bottom

My experience with options is selling volatility and taking advantage of time decay. But as the author pointed out with this trade you don't have the worry about picking the right month like you do when you buy options.

The author said it best that this trade might be too good to be true. But I think he emphasized using the trade as a way to hedge your portfolio--not something you dump your life savings into.

Stocks That Trade Like Binary Options: Speculative Plays Under $10

The entire market is speculation at this point, no one has the confidence the market can even stay up after a run. I do absolutely believe there are cheap stocks like some mentioned in the articles. Just don't try to time it!

The Honeymoon Is Over: Gauging the Market with an Obama Presidency

67.2% rise year over year in net revenue up over 1 billion!

Yes, they lost net in the quarter but I think the author is right on with this stock. LVS IS TOO CHEAP!!!!!

The Honeymoon Is Over: Gauging the Market with an Obama Presidency

I was merely pointing out that you implied the author was very negative on LVS and I think he made it clear he "owns stocks" with put protection in case the stock does go bankrupt.

I think hyour expectation of 500 on LVS is ridiculous b/c the mkt would have to have the DOW above 20,000 points to justify a high p/e like that!

Can I ask you a simple question? Did you buy LVS when it was trading above 100 a few months back?

I would be angry too if that was the case. Anyay I hope youre right and it does trade to 500 b/c i bought some LVS after reading this article. Looks like a good bet to me

The Honeymoon Is Over: Gauging the Market with an Obama Presidency

DAN KOWKABANY:

I think you should read the author's position over because he is LONG LVS !!! You don't buy shares in a company because you think it's going to tank or go bankrupt!

The author stated that the "put" options are pricing the stock for bankruptcy and that he own puts against his long position in LVS for protection.

I think the author made it clear that he thinks its a speculative bet and just doesn't want people to foolishly invest more than they can lose

What If Warren Buffett Is Wrong About the Markets?

"Warren Buffett can buy with impunity, unlike the rest of us with limited resources. Because he is rich enough that whatever decision is made to invest, he can, literally, afford to be wrong until the markets turn around and agree with him at some point or another."


NOW That is the bald faced truth...It's not that buffett is the smartest investor or that he can predict direction---he is just rich enough to be wrong until the markets prove him right

Trying to Catch a Falling Dollar

Nice analogy I don't really like the metals sector as much as I like oil
British Petroleum is very attractive because even if we are in a recession people still need some type of gas to fill cars Are people just going to stop drivin cars or stop living normal lives?

This sell off is way over done and I do feel you are right. I think the American public is being scammed right out their retirement savings and everything.

Putting these short sellers back in the market doesn't make sense because now financial companies are being traded out of business again Maybe short sellers aren't the ones to blame for bad company pracitic but if they serve no purpose why are they allowed to even be there in the first place?

Dividend stocks are the only thing that makes any sense because market value is only temporar

Can American investors get a bailout too? I want my refund!
