V Bottoms and the Twin-Peaked Bear

He's probably confusing the so-called 45% contraction in global wealth with a relatively small drop off in global output..

Your Oil Stocks Aren't Coming Back

Too right you're no analyst.
And yes it's not about getting it right or wrong; we certainly all manage to do both.
But you could at least *think* before committing pen to paper (so-to-speak).
The fundamental premise for your argument, which is not even hedged with 'probably', is flawed.
Surely even you can see that.
Yes you touched a nerve, and yes you deserved the insult, but my ad hominem doesn't make your argument any less leaky.
And yes I do have one oil service stock, FTI, which bought about 3 days ago, and which frankly I'll be holding for about as long as it takes to get up to around 30-40 dollars, which could be 3 days or 3 weeks, 3 months or maybe 3 years.

Your Oil Stocks Aren't Coming Back

Another load of old tosh masquerading as insightful analysis from some self-serving publicity-seeking halfwit.

Comparing dot.coms not even out of nappies on p/e's of 1000 with multinational oil service companies drilling wells miles beneath the ocean, just so that we the world can feed its addiction to the black stuff.

Fcking idiot.

Financials Getting Slaughtered

Geezus these SA articles really are getting worse.

I mean, who is this guy, to just real off a bunch of stocks and their prices to us?

"United States Oil ETF (USO) is down to $23.45. Oil demand has fallen off a cliff. I don’t know how long this will last but it looks cheap at these levels."

LOL!!!

Depressed Oil Prices Approaching Good Point for Speculation

"When the time comes to buy oil, look to the oil futures or oil futures related ETFs. They’ll give you much more bang for your buck than most oil stocks."

Justification or rationale for that comment?

The Stock Market Continues to Heal

A more accurate headline would shurely have been "The Stock Market Continues to Tread Water".

Furthermore, going nowhere after a steep move in either direction fulfils the imporant function of working off overbought or oversold conditions, creating the setup for either a continuation or a reversal, neither of which can be forecast with any great degree of confidence.

Would You Pay $1,000 for This Book?

fatcat, not everything in life is about making money.

Using DBO, USO and OIL to Play Crude Oil

Fantastic article. Many thanks for sharing.

Behind the Numbers: Problems Loom for OPEC

What a useless addition to SA this is.
Next time you write something perhaps ask yourself the following before you submit it to SA:

1. Does the piece tell us something that we don't already know and have not known for months
2. Will the information or insigths contained in the piece allow us to make money in some way.

I submit that had you asked those questions of the above piece, the answers would be no, and no.

Options Expiration Week

How meaningless is this?

Forecasting a Year End Rally for the FTSE 100

I've seen your stuff on marketoracle.co.uk. It's good stuff. Thanks.

The Bull Continues to Run Backwards

7150/10600. Sounds like a good way to make money, provided you're the one selling the trade to the potential mug who buys it. Isn't that the inverse of a strangle or straddle?

Similarities to U.S. 1937, Japan 1998

Interesting. About 870 weeks you say. The trouble is, at this rate, the Dow will be at 1000 within a fortnight.

Why Libor Is the Key

Good piece.
