Cruising for a bruising is the thought that came to mind. I think they are becoming a bit too broad, they have thier fingers in too many cookie jars and somethings gotta give.
Reminds of the intermittent fasting analogy, and what happens to the bodies cells when this happens. In short they repair and get strong contrary to what one thinks would happen from a restricted diet. It has some economic implications for tapered growth being healthier for economies and companies.
thats thes cary part dude, just looking at the charts IBM sets up more like a perfect short than a long position. The whole discussion board seems to be like people livinging in the Matrix (discussing IBM as a company) vs those looking at the code of the Matrix (the charts).
Interesting comment Alpine, spoken like a true consultant. Me think I know you ???
In defense of Arne, I dont think he means IBM is a disaster in the making, but WB's position at such a high cost basis ($170) means its a risky position. My charting data is limited but IBM is trading at near all time highs and only took off from the $120 level as recently as 2010. SO Buffet bought in on the high, and as we know about tech, change is constant. WB is not a typical tech investor and the big ones usually move capital around. WB being conservative, may pull the plug if things dont pan out his way. I don't think he is going to ride a loss down, hoping it gets back, it's not his style. Furthermore him being a big buyer at the prices above 150 may have influenced the price and drove it higher so it could also be a case of supply and demand, no more huge buyers for IBM just as thier business model undergoes some changes and you are left with WB maybe wanting to get out, lighten up or think things over with the stock at 150. Tricky situation that can turn into a disaster real quickly. Like i mentioned bfore if agressive funds know this they can force his hand. This has nothing to do with IBM as a company. I'm sure they rock, Watson and all.
I was surprised when i heard Buffet was in tech, of course IBM which has been around forever is the only tech stock that matches his style. It's looking like it could hit 140 no problems, wonder what Mr B will do then, him pulling the plug could brink out the sharks. Interesting case.

I wonder which brave politician will take up the task of enacting these emergencey measures ??? Chances are they will still stick to the dogmatic creed and think they can "create growth".
Deposits over €100K at the Bank of Cyprus will be taxed at 62.5%, sources tell Reuters. The figure is far greater than officials originally indicated. Customers will get 37.5% of their deposits over the €100K threshold in bank shares while the remainder of their cash "may never be paid back."[View news story]
so there are lots of small business owners with such accounts, what if you were a diligent saver. It aint right dude.

Dr D, what say e about the impact investors and private equity are having on the market ? apparently they are not only buying disstresed property but regular sales and new homes as well from homebuilders. Is this a case of shifting the inventory around, or is the inventory really disappearing ???

When the market moved up on Friday AMZN was standing still- Looks like the bulls are getting cold feet at these levels, so your position is perfectly structured.
Cam - the markets know that there is always a last minute deal, some hero always comes riding in to the rescue. Hasn't it been that way over the past 3 - 4 years. Ben, Mario - last minute fiscal cliff fix. It all works and the market keep going higher in the end,so why worry, why worry ? You are a winner for buying all these worries over the past 4 years so, don't worry - be bullish.
of course I'm being cheeky but that's how it has played out eh.
