In the hands of drug dealers AK47s and viruses in the hands of hackers and ID theft criminals are "efficiencies offered by technology and new communications infrastructure" . That does not mean law enforcement officers should say we just have to live with it. Nor should common citizens be willing to accept these advances in technology and communications as unrestricted muscle power that can be used against the common good.

Unrestricted high frequency trading should not be allowed. When computer trading will completely take over social trading by humans, it will not be a market anymore..just another jungle.]]> Thu, 30 Jul 2009 11:20:51 -0400

So if a company is attacked the attacker is likely to be a swarm of computers that take over the market. I believe this should be researched and perhaps limited by the regulators.

I also believe that a lot of the exaggerated trading was becaause of quadruple trading as was in March this year.]]> Sat, 20 Sep 2008 11:00:36 -0400

I was unable to find the SEC commission filing you mention. Could you give us a little more detail: type of filing and date perhaps.

Also the telegraph link is confusing. More detail please.]]> Mon, 24 Mar 2008 18:44:23 -0400

Why JPM and why Bear? Bear's investors would have done better in chapter 11 and let the market set the price for exiting bankcruptcy. Compassionate capitalism is putting the interests of political survivorship or powerful interests survivorship ahead of economic market survivorship.

Instead of remaining a lender of last resort, the Fed in this move and almost all other moves has become the lender of compassionate resort. In doing so it has raised all these questions of adverse selection and moral hazard.

We are beginning to look more like 'old Europe' it is not?

If you are looking to blame anyone blame the 9/11 terrorists who hurt the economy (Bin Laden was an economics student ) and led us into the inflationary Iraq war. The Five deferment Dick and Dubya show shares a lot of the blame for prolonging the inflationary spiral. Greenspan's Fed did the patriotic thing and the right thing at the time.

The Fed's problem is one of moral hazard. They can lend the money but cannot overcome the greed and other deadly sins of the borrowers. They cannot change human nature. That is not the business of the Fed.

It is unfair of Kedrosky and others to blame one single individual. What pray did any of these critics do when the economy froze in 2001?]]> Fri, 21 Mar 2008 14:44:15 -0400

I have never seen what happened to investors who listen to CNBC etc and lost or made mistakes based on what they heard/saw. Why not have a few minutes of time for the dreamers, losers, winners and strivers all? Their experiences are valid and true. Of course for a variety of reasons, investor experiences will never make it to the TV channels.

Seeking alpha and written analysis gives one a chance to evaluate the information and make decisions to research or reject the ideas. God forbid we get a seeking alpha internet channel!!]]> Fri, 21 Mar 2008 14:19:28 -0400

If private equity partnerships with SIVs from China and the Mid East take ownership away from US investors there will be a case for the democrats to investigate taxability and national security issues.

I for believe that Blackstone's CEO Schwarzman overdid the PR stuff that led to the angst regarding the industry. ]]> Fri, 11 Jan 2008 12:15:08 -0500

1. As the BRIC countries 'internetize' there is more demand for better quality of life products. The US multinationals such as PG, MCD, KO, PEP, DIS are well capitalized and out there building market share. Profits follow.

2. The ongoing battle between SIVs and SOVs (Sovereign funds) will be resolved in favor of SOVs in spite of populist sentiments. Banks and the financial sector rise from the dead like the phoenix reborn. C bottoms and races for its place in the sun. Very very BRIC baked!

3. China's much anticipated coming out Olympics party is a grand success. Its reverberations make steel stocks take off as ROW infrastructure expands.

4. Smart phones wow ROW! AAPL, RIMM, NOK, VIP... continue the market share battle.

5. As soy, corn, milk and wheat prices rise, US agriculture linked multinational cos (DE, POT, MON) and agricultural land and water resource prices continue to rise.(Have options on 'em). Wait till banks dump SIVs for SAGGIES! These are structured agri bonds. We may see a Saggie rush supported by SOVs. Better than the deserts. Good tax shelters too.

6. Arab SQUAK (Saudi Arabia, Quatar, UAE, Kuwait) funds are globalized and increasingly managed by Wall Street and Jewish expertise. Here comes world peace. GS makes a play for DOW Jones membership.

7. By the end of 2008 we are looking at Africa's commodity and oil wealth and investing in Africa plays. It is coming at us faster than we know.

8. Yeah solar fun and games continue. This is the tulips in the sun mania. Chinese, US and Canadian solar stocks may parallel the dotcom boom bust. Beware.

9. Geezer plays in pharmaceuticals, biotech, nutratech and nanotech creep into our portfolios. DNDN, ISRG are some crown jewels.

10. The drowning home builders become 'demolition builders'. Old polluted rundown homes are torn down and demolition becomes a new source of PROFIT.

Ah well that was a nice hour spent. I'll take 10% upside next year as the dollar falls another 10%. Thats where the opportunities are for me.
