There are so many ways to learn about the market. But if you did not know where to start, it would be very hard decision to make. As I mentioned, there are more than one ways to learn without spending 24,000 dollars to learn about the market. I have learned a hard way. I have started out with Investools. There are tons of sources that you can go to. Just google them. I just went to MoneyShow in NY. I have learned that there are tons of educational sites are availble to learn about fundamental of the markets, technical, options, futures, and forex markets. Just do not think that Investools is the only way. I now moved to learn more option strategies from TOS and other sites including OptionsXpress, CBOE, OIC and a private organization which teaches option strategies.... Good luck to all.
US and Asian Markets Jump While Europe Stumbles [View article]
DOW and Nikkei 225 have been moving like twins recently... Unfortunately, the Japanese market is closed so you can not see the action. But I am very curious to see how other markets are going to move tomorrow nights in Asia.
Why Oil and Gold Are Headed Much Higher [View article]
Just do not chase after the past performance. And GS analysts predicted the oil price to rise to $200 per barrel... Look where the prediction went. I do not trust the rating agencies and the Wall Street analysts estimates any longer. They need to do more diligence to do their jobs.
The Market's Disassociation with Reality [View article]
I will consider to invest my money when the DOW goes down to the 1/3 of October 2007 high. Since the economy runs on the highly leveraged pace of 1 to 30, it might be a O.K. number to get back to the normal leverage of 1 to 9 ratio. It is still high for me since I do not need any credit to manage my fianance, but commercial banks are running on that rate. I am going to wait to see where and when this credibility issues of the financial institutions and the U.S. government are going to settle.
Three Reasons Not to Sell Indiscriminately [View article]
The fear is the emotion created by the people who do not know what they are doing. I am also sorry for the people who are still in the market to believe that the buy and hold strategies and modern portfolio theories work under this environment. The U.S. market dropped down about 40 percent in average from October 2007 high.

I agree with xsuddensam. All the government regulatory agencies need to look into any white collar criminals who created all the mess and put them in jail. The U.S. government did not protect everyday people from the crooks stealing money systemically through insurance, mortgage, and charity organizations. It is a time for all the regulatory agencies to clean out the house of thieves so that they do not repeat this same stupid mistakes again.
Is the dollar strength coming from the U.S. investment abroad back to the U.S.? All the investment companies including hedge funds and banks need to sell ASSets abroad to bring in the money to the U.S. to save their companies? The money flow is shifting. The commodity rich countries are suffering with the dollar strength. However, according to the price pattern of the DXY, the resistance is 81 rather than 80. I believe that global deflation might happen after all the busts.
