Quantitative Easing: The New Fad in Banking

unprovable not unprovalable, Why make the correction? Because you have gone that route before, picking on a misspelling without answering a single question.

Quantitative Easing: The New Fad in Banking

As usual the Author mixes a bit of truth with a corresponding opinion and then proceeds to print statements as if they were all Factual.

"SDR Illusions", This is definitely not an Illusion. The Basket which currently exists is comprised of USD 44%, Euro 34%, Yen and Pound 11% each. There is no other definition presently.

What is Illusionary about this announcement?

"Fair-value lying" is a term coined by the author. It is "baseless" because it is the Author's opinion and is not supported by facts.

"Miscreants" I'm quite sure you are familiar with this term as it ties in completely with your usage of "fair-value lying". You Are calling the Governor of the Bank of Canada a Miscreant, is this just your opinion or do you have proof?

"The Treasury is delaying the reporting of the results of the federal report stress tests until Q1 earnings have been reported." This is taken from an unsubstantiated Article, the author of which states so specifically. Your opinion is that this is True, based on what?

You quote Avery Goodman's article as if it were Proof of something or other. Avery makes a lot of suppositions which he acknowledges he can't prove.

But you can?

All in all, what you have presented are unprovalable allegations as if they were facts. You have cast aspersions on people you haven't met. You claim to know more than the Article writers you quote.

And you have yet to retract a statement made in a previous article which was wrong.

So why don't you tell me how "incorrect" my statements are. Lead me to some repository of Truth that only you can access.

Last Week the Markets Partied, This Week Sobriety

Gold continued its "slide" today while the Markets managed to go down slightly. I picked up FAS, DXO, DAG and DYY in equal amounts and am using Closing Prices.

This was done inspite of the Fact that when push comes to shove, Fear of Lowerer lows still Rules.

Who Bought in March, I did. One of my purchases is up almost 100%. Whether its BAC PFDs or an LNG Trust or even a Tax Free Muni, they are almost all up( still up by less than 10%, Silver Juniors and a couple of Specialty plays)

I will continue buying on the Dips, because no one has any faith whatsoever in this New Bull Market.

"The Sky is falling" continues to be the Mantra, There is no Future, etc. What do you think you know that No one else does?

FASB Changes Perpetuate Fair Value Lying

Monday1929: Governments Are The Market at this point.

Or did you miss the Obama change from Bear to Bull in March. I know history quite well, especially Market History.

So why don't you tell me how this particular Recession is the same as a previous one?

Better yet, why don't you point out the Last time a concerted worldwide Governmental Intrusion into the Markets occurred?

There is No History to use as a Guide.

FASB Changes Perpetuate Fair Value Lying

wakeup call and trendsrus: Thanks.

The Transport sector has led economic recoveries before, but it has never been as ignored as the Current focus seems to be entirely on market manipulation of this or that.

The DJTA had an intraday high today of 2976, that up from an annual low of 2121. 40% up.

But hey, its just an unnoticed piece of market manipulation. If its not going to be noticed, why manipulate it?

FASB Changes Perpetuate Fair Value Lying

citez: Agreed, but let's carry it forward a tad.

All of the World's Governments are now focused on "fixing" the problems and will do Whatever it takes to do so. If anyone actually believes that any kind of credit contraction will stand in the way of their concerted efforts, they have fully deluded themselves.

The US no longer stands alone in this effort.

FASB Changes Perpetuate Fair Value Lying

You know a little and think you know everything.

FASB 157 did not exist prior to 2006 so there is nothing Historical to back your assertions. As a matter of Fact, the financial meltdown started Because of its implementation.

The Financial instruments created prior to that time were not designed to be scrutinized Quarterly, once that piece of Financial Armageddon was forced onto the system, the financial system unravelled.

The FASB knew Squat about the derivatives already in place. This change is a piddly bit of relief after the horse has already left the barn.

But it may stem the future Commercial devaluations to come, here and abroad.(IMF will help there)

The Great Credit Contraction has come and Gone.
Too bad you missed it. IMHO

How to Profit from Market Manipulation

Stock Trading: the article Is useful as an opinion or proposed idea. Hanging what occurs on some "mysterious group" does not make it more credible.

As a standalone, without embellishment, I can work with it. Have worked with it all of my life. The Last Hour of trading takes in the news of the day and the membership of the NYSE acts on it via Programs.

The Membership of the NYSE has been averaging above 20% of all trades made on a daily basis in the last few months. It used to be much higher.

Program Trades=20% of all Nyse trades, they Wag, we follow. Its quite open, you can track it for a fee on a Daily after the close basis. NYXdata.

Its not a Conspiracy to act on the News of the Day.

Big Banks: Pulling Off the Ultimate Bait and Switch

E Nuff Sed: very good comment. Any Article that starts out with cheap slurs usually translates into an author who has an "ax to grind".

The rest of the "article" continues with the same opinions, all biased in the same direction.

This weeks Barrons does a good write on the PPIP and Talf from what has been released so far. Its a much clearer explanation without the additional innuendos and "out of context" quotes.

Something Really smells, in my opinion.

Make that a cple of articles back, there's a verbatim ToU in there for you.

How to Profit from Market Manipulation

No problem Harold. Read Trace Mayer's last article.

How to Profit from Market Manipulation

It doesn't really matter if you have read them or not. Being the nice person I am, I have given you the opportunity to do so. But Like with the IRS, ignorance is not an excuse.

So with SeekingAlpha. If you do not comply with its basic fundamentals, included in the ToU, you are subject to dismissal, without prior notice, from the site. That is also included.

This not an opinion, this is a fact.

Goodman? Wait until Monday. My Ratings will change drastically. You will be pleasantly surprised.

I won't because this occurs every weekend.

Meanwhile, have you read the Terms of Use yet?

How to Profit from Market Manipulation

Harold: A few more comments please. I almost have all I need.

Of Course, there are ZERO articles. I have no wish to provide a sitting Target for all and sundry who have had problems with my corrective methods.

But what the hey, I gave a clear and fair outlook on what your future will be if you continue on this path.

Chris B? why don't you write Articles. Though, I admit your Comment would have made a great Article in itself.

How to Profit from Market Manipulation

Harold: your article is a fabrication built from your own opinions. You have no proof therefore you will not file a complaint. You will not provide a single trade because you do not have the experience necessary to even guess at a direction.

"Knowledge is Power".

But when you answer questions by people who expect the truth with more obfuscation then you enter my particular bailiwick.

I love finding people like you who write Articles without informing whoever reads them that they are just opinions. I especially like it when I find them early.

Keep on writing, I look forward to future Factual articles or Articles which plainly state that they are opinions. But before you do so again, I suggest you read the Terms Of Use for Seeking Alpha. The TOU.

Yes, I have comments which are opinions, but then they are opinions. Meanwhile you state that your opinions are Facts. That's a Major Misdemeanor when either writing Articles or answering questions about what is written under the TOU.
