Great Depression vs. Great Bubble

"In short I see a higher probability of being able to buy at lower valuations sometime over the next five years"

great prediction but useless in a market focused on the next 5 minutes

Will the Market Crash?

I'm tired of reading these negative articles while seeing stock prices surge. The market will drop once the greatest short coverage of all time is done.

Profiting from Friday's U.S. Non-Farm Payroll Report

Thanks for trying Cliff but no one cares about the truth. A some point though, they will pay the price for their stupidity.

CRE, Banks and the Case for Regulatory Forbearance

Kind of odd to notice a positive correlation between the number of negative articles and the performance of the REITs indices.

S&P 500 at 1002 - What's Driving This Market Comeback?

It's funny, I can't find any reason to go long GE. This is got to be the worst compnay in the world. It lucky however that it is too big to fail cause failed they have since Immelthas taken control of things. I don't know how they managed to keep their AAA rating as well but if they ever lose it then, kiss it good bye cause it their only real asset.

Will 'Cash for Clunkers' Bring the Feared Double Dip?

Don't you worry that this government will find a way to manipulate things and save the too big to save to give the illusion that this a V shape recovery. Obama's first councellor should actually be David Coperfield.

Are REITs and Utilities Good Dividend Investments?

I like your model but for the Utilities I would use other debt metrics instead of the % of debt to capital. I'd use net debt to EBITDA levels instead and interest coverage. I'd make sure that the companies generage sufficient EBITDA to maintain their credit ratings. In the case of PGN you'd see the company is a little bit stretched over the next couple of years, especially given their nuclear projects coming down the road.

Illinois gets the California treatment from Fitch, which downgrades the state's bond rating two notches to A.

As the FED says, things are stabilizing...lol

Are Green Shoots Wilting or Growing?

Are Green Shoots Wilting or Growing? Neither, they never existed

Fed's Beige Book: The recession seems to be growing less severe. Some regions say the downturn's pace has moderated, others that activity is stabilizing. Retail sales are still sluggish, and wages and benefits are steady or falling in most districts.

This sure does not sound like a "V" shape recovery. Actually folks, we are pausing before the "h" recovery.

Why 'Investor Intelligence' Is an Oxymoron

The average investor is a trend follower

Insiders Selling at Alarming Levels

Let me try a shot at this question:

Could this (insider selling at all time high while insider buying at all time low) be a sign that the underlying economy is still in fact very weak as we continue to see in the trucking data, weekly rails data and weekly same store sales?

YES!

Large Bearish Put Options Spread Possibly Placed

Yeah, like everybody else, he is not impressed but has to be aware of the momentum freaks.
