You really are about as IGNORANT as they get on ET, aren't you? Roughly 80% of the stimulus package won't go into effect till 2010. Everyone is well aware of this . . . except for you.
Please post a screen-shot of your bearish positions that seek to benefit from such a decline. Thank You.
7 handles for the s$p and Dow in due time, then we take a test and see if that holds, im thinking it wont and a retest of the march lows will be certain over the next 6 months.
Stimulus, Smimulus. Japan did about 20 Stimulus packages from 1990 until now and look where that got their markets, 39,000 down to 7,500. Now I think everyone knows thats a bad return . . . except for you maybe. Just be careful in what you know.
I agree. That's two members. Now, you gotta produce the goods. Btw, I'm short several positions in my Client accounts. Just want to see a shot of what you're basing a falling knife djia on.
I have been selling into this rally and have only about 10% yet to go if we go higher 1 more time. I have no shorts at this point.
We are hanging around this 8200 area too long. If we break 8200 convincingly this down move may gain momentum. Obama may have a tough couple of years coming up. The public seams to base their spending habits on how the stock market is doing and so it could be a hard winter coming up. ------------------------------------------------- ap Consumer loan delinquencies continue to rise New study shows consumer loan delinquencies edge up to record high of 3.23 pct in early 2009 * By Stephen Bernard, AP Business Writer * On Tuesday July 7, 2009, 10:22 am ED NEW YORK (AP) -- Consumer loan delinquencies edged up to another record high in the first quarter, according to data released Tuesday by the American Bankers Association. A continued rise in unemployment has been the main culprit for the continued rise in delinquencies, the trade association said. "The number one driver of delinquencies is job loss," James Chessen, the ABA's chief economist, said in a statement. "When people lose their jobs, they can't pay their bills. Delinquencies won't improve until companies start hiring again and we see a significant economic turnaround." The composite delinquency rate among eight types of closed-end installment loans rose to 3.23 percent in the January-March period, according to the ABA's consumer credit delinquency bulletin. That is the highest recorded since the ABA began tracking the rate in the mid 1970s and tops the previous record of 3.22 percent set in the last quarter of 2008.
