  • Wednesday Outlook: Commodities, Global Markets [View article]
    Just a comment from the trenches:

    This time of year, (open-end) mutual funds declare and get ready to pay out their year end cap gains. The folks who hung in there through the melt down will get a rude awakening. In spite of this year's market rally, many of the well-known funds will not be declaring/paying a cent in cap gains! My five cent's worth: folks will not be happy....

    Dave, what about an Indonesia ETF?
    See this in Bloomberg today:
    >>>>On September 16, 2009, Moody's upgraded Indonesia's local and foreign-currency rating to ‘Ba2' from ‘Ba3' with a positive outlook (which was revised from stable in June 2009). Ratings upgrade was due to the resilience of the Indonesian economy to the global recession, political stability and credible government policies. The re-election of President Yodhoyono will "ensure policy continuity and possibly lead to a deepening of policy and structural reforms." (Bloomberg)<<<...
    Thank you.

    Why not start adding a couple of bearish options (SDS, DXD for example). If nothing else to replace something like UNG.....

    At least I think it's time......

    Thanks, as always.

    Adam, appreciate your thoughts in the ratios mentioned.
    BUT: what about real wages? Who in the end will have to
    take the cut? Manufacturers can only take so much of a haircut to profit margins (if they exist at all, for ex. production cost of a barrel of oil reported to be $50-$55). If we see a deflationary spiral, it will be in goods, services and labor - whatever jobs are left.

    Best regards.

    When will people stop wishing for the "magic bullet" that will solve it all immediately? It has taken years of irresponsible behavior on the part of
    Wall Street as well as individuals over-commiting to more than they could afford to create this monster. Let's all get real.
