note there was another story today about some boston lawyer suing mortgage writers for making loans they "knew" would default.

If the legal proceedings ever get any legs, watch out.

Expect Big Improvements in These Three Chinese Steel Companies

As I said on yahoo a month ago, in a few months when GSI is 8 to 10 a shares people will look back at when GSI was $3 and wonder how they missed something so obvious.

Everybody Hates Leveraged ETFs

i have been short both FAS and FAZ since late April and it returns about 7% a month, although you do need to rebalance from time to time. I will never cover these positions.

The 3x ETFs are the greatest thing in the world. I hope they come up with 5x ETFs. It just means that much money for me when I short both sides.

FAS and FAZ are the gifts that just keep on giving!

The Great Credit Crunch Continues Unabated

if you are going to crow about your prior predictions, can you at least provide a link to where / when you made them for the record? Otherwise you come across as just another after the fact gas bag.

Direxion's Leveraged ETFs Triple the Risk

kkerr, it is not fire and forget technology but it's still a sure winner if you know what you are doing.

Direxion's Leveraged ETFs Triple the Risk

i am short both of the ETF's. I was trying to do it for months and then in April all of a sudden there was just a mass of availability of shares. Now that the reverse split has gone through you don't seem to be able to short them anymore, but I still have mine from april. The more volatile the trading the more you make on any given day. FAZ tends to decline more over time than FAS, so I try to stay short 40% FAS 60% FAZ. It's the closest thing to a sure winner that I have ever seen in my life.

Direxion's Leveraged ETFs Triple the Risk

I will be very sad if they pull the plug on FAS and FAZ because I have been running about 10% gains monthly by being short both. The reverse split was a huge bonus as it lowered the margin requirements for the position immensly, so thanks Direxion for that.

I think if your timeline is 3-5 years out, $10 is a very low target for GGWPQ.

Bankers, Bond Insurers Suing Each Other

Bankers, Bond Insurers Suing Each Other

>>Meanwhile, there are increasing reports of bond insurers defaulting,

Jeff, I have not seen any of these reports. Which insurer (MBI, ABK, RDN, etc) has defaulted on any coverage?

Hartford Financial's Risks and Alternatives

there is a really big difference between AAA and AA in CMBS.

That being said, I agree with the $15 price target analysis. Infact, I think it is low.

Barron's Calls a Bottom

it's not a bad time to guess. Some of the prices are insane. The perpetual securities of AEGON are trading at 12 cents on the dollar. Look at AEH, it is yielding 50%. I am not making this up.

I know things can always get worse, but, really?
