Today in Commodities: Waiting for Confirmation

'bullish engulfing candle'

seriously???

Recession Is Over; Depression Has Just Begun

to have something you just mentioned would take some catastrophic event to pull the trigger. A nuke somewhere, 'the big one' hitting cali, kayne west putting george soros in a bad mood..

there is going to be some serious debt relief to balance this out. It it doesn't come sooner, then it comes later where assets are so low people can buy back in and screw the holders twice

Report from the Real Estate Front: Appraiser Calls Increasing; Banks Worry About Losses

i see a huge shift of the deleveraging moves protecting most of the economy from a major meltdown due to the CRE abyss.

Before everyone was caught with their pants down.. now many banks are shaping up any way they can.

i still worry about the CDS, CDO markets though. Those are bets against planned failure.

you option guys just love it since it is a legal online craps table

Dollar Denominated Assets: Get Out Now

she's tight with Soros' clan so of course it is all about china and burn the benjis

but I'll follow her since i rather hear this point of view from her than old frog soros

I've been telling people to buy art for the past year.. i don't have the coin for it but i do have the wall space.. can I lease some?

thats why i took this alias.. for comments above by sjs

are you a fool?? Lehman workers were blue collar right?

The Wisdom of Half Positions

i'd like to know how much are the transaction fees these guys who write the articles pay?

I seem to be a nomad and go from broker to broker to take advantage of their 'free trades for a month' or sometimes go to the expensive ones if i want to stop myself from overtrading

Citigroup Stock Drama: Capitalist Conspiracy or Profit Pursuit?

retail investors can go after the small, outer scraps that aren't in the main body of the economy..

things like STSI that has a lawsuit going against big tobacco and commodity plays.

Researching China's market would be good time spent during this phase as well

Oracle Buys Sun, Becomes a Hardware Player

a lot of things are designed to work with MyToast. Oracle has to corral, not bury, that sector

will be interesting

Sucker's Rally Approaching an End

People do not really need good credit ratings as much as everyone likes to preach

In fact - if you took someone out of highschool and prevented them from ever having credit and then gave someone else as much as they have been, you can probably bet that the first person would be way more financially sound 20 years later

Thursday Outlook: Commodities, Global Markets

if China is stock piling, i guess they are really ready to finally step up and be a strong economy and throw the USA and the dollar down a few notches

we won't crumble but in most people's minds it will feel that way

i wouldn't be surprised to see our cities overran by asian buyers and only the small towns that can sustain themselves be left alone. We'll be like the Amish are to us in the eyes of the new cities

Unloading Skype Is Good Move for eBay

if i remember right, eBay was the one of the first dot coms to post a profit on their first quarter. i think it was a penny a share and that was huge news since all the 'new economy' kept making excuses on their burn rates at the time


anyway - i do not know why eBay just doesn't focus on auctions. did they grow to big?? well trim the fat and stay profitable

being a middle man between people's closets and garages was genius and a pure internet play. why ruin it?

New Mark-to-Market Rules: Playing Pretend

yes - we are all funding a busted basement gaming parlor. This isn't even a casino since they are fair and transparent.

Was was that rule allowed (by someone who worked for Enron no less) to let other people insure against your debt?

so if my neighbors buy home insurance on my home I am suppose to feel safe?

the market is too rigged for any fundamentals these days.

remember how people used to say that currency markets aren't that safe since governments can cause too much change in a matter of days??? how did ALL of our markets get to this phase?

no wonder so many people are just buying guns and ammo. It is something they can understand.

Sucker's Rally Approaching an End

one thing I am tired of hearing is the "future generations are going to pay for this and that"

GenX'ers have been hearing that our whole life.. what did we pay off? weren't we stuck with some bill to pay? does anyone really think we are going to pay for this with same value dollars? inflate away the debt and we won't miss it. China, etc will be mad - so what's new?
