Sobering Stat: ARMS Index Indicates Market Is at Peak, Not Bottom

My knowledge of technical indicators is marginal at best so I wont speak to the TRIN index but I will say that all the comments written here have been the same since DJI 7500. No market goes up or down in a straight line so of course there will be a pullback somewhere in the future but IMHO this market is not being driven on fundamentals including the TRIN Index, it's all about perception and the perception is that the worst of the recession is over. Even if the recovery is in the distant future people don't want to get left behind and hope to recover their losses eventually. The question is "will those who have been buying panic on a correction and sell, it has very little to do with fundamentals

Seething Over Liddy's AIG-Goldman Connection

Well said. I was so disappointed in Obama's choice of advisers. The hope is gone, gone, gone and "business a usual" is alive and well

What are you talking about? Is this some kind of religious philosophy? These bandits are living high on the hog and apparently will do so for the rest of their lives. Wheres the "just reward"? A just reward would be to spend some time in a lock-down until they get sent to prison.

User 396757 Who is this "liberal media" your talking about? Maybe Pacifica Radio but the rest of the media is owned by conservative and right wing individuals or conservative organizations.

how does one complain to SA about this new format? It SUCKS!

AIG: Geithner's Outraged? He Should Be Embarrassed

skeptic44, try and remember that most of Obama's "financial team" are holdovers from the last Republican Administration and therein lies the problem-sos.

AIG: Geithner's Outraged? He Should Be Embarrassed

yeah, probably Summers (wretch wretch)

The Financial Supermarket Is Dead

I expect the midterm elections to be a non-event. There is enough pork in all these bailouts for most Representatives to survive, it's always the other guys Representative that "should be sent walking", not mine.
I wouldn't venture a guess as to what will become of the banking industry as we see it now but I will predict that BofA will survive. When CEO Kenny Lewis got cold feet in the purchase of Merrill I am sure the Government, maybe Paulson, promised BofA would survive no matter what if they went ahead with the deal. The promise may not have been worded quite that way but BofA will go down even after JPM if at all.

So what would comprise the industrials today if the DJI hadn't been corrupted with financials? And what difference would it have made to the "signals" over the last two decades?

While Financials Drag Markets Down, Five Ways to Stay in Play

I guess we don't agree on what's coming down here. I am long FXP, SKF, QID, DOG, RWM and the ETFs that short consumer goods and consumer services (cant remember the symbols) and have been for some while. If we do get a little rally here I will back up the truck for more. I do have a few small long positions in energy and a few tech stocks in Taiwan (a la Jim Rogers)but other than that I see more "blood in the streets-Wall that is" and I remain short.

AIG: Paulson's Folly

We, the punters will never see the final bailout bill as the books will be cooked like about every Government financial statistic put out these days..

This Is Not "the Big One"

Regarding the political observations, hell yes they are relevant, incompetent people were placed in the regulatory agencies by politicians which exacerbated this crisis and perhaps even caused it-people SHOULD be pissed at the politicians and SHOULD voice their displeasure at these corporate bailouts.

America Buys AIG

For those of you that thinks that the Fed made a 'great investment' I have a question for you: did you back the truck up and loaded AIG into your portfolio at 2 buck and change-after all it shows a 24%+ dividend-yeah, great deal, hope it works out for us taxpayers
