  1. Hang in there. Sucker rallies never last... the economy isn't getting any better.. so it can't last long.

    You could've said the same thing a year ago. Yes, we had QE2, but employment, GDP, etc., never made any serious improvements. Despite that, you would've gotten killed trying to short the markets after the summer doldrums correction ended.

  3. I agree Gordan and Wolfgang....

    CEO expectations in this country are super low.... The majority believe we are heading into a Recession. So, who is more on the front lines? Clowns on the NYSE floor, Idiot news casters, Gov clowns or CEOs? Confidence among the US CEO's is very low.

    Let's not bring up the SWISS FRANC and the soon to be currency war between the Franc and the Dollar.

    All the idiots are yelling for QE3, from CNBC to Bloomberg.

    Yet CEO's are telling the Fed and Gov to get out of the way.

    Bottom line, until the Socialist Mentality is defeated in this country..including Corporate Socialism's idea of "TO BIG TO FAIL" is defeated....the US ECONOMY will only continue to get worse.

    With that said....shorting is very risky but the reward is huge. With many of the Global Markets looking to pass a no-shorting rule...we could see outflow of money from the US to those "Non-shorting" markets...which would be a gift to the shorts in the US.


    Wolfgang....good name...I have a friend who is famous in the Techno world and goes by Wolfgang Gardner ...you should look him up.

  5. What exactly will that do? The 'computer that controls interest rates' will be the Taylor Model, which will say at this point: negative fed funds rates. So it would not have done anything the fed isn't doing.

    The market is forward looking. So you want to buy a market when everything is fine? You would be buying a top.

    It's funny, I remember how traders who stayed short after 2002 kept on railing at Bush and how the whole rally was fake, blah, blah, blah.
    It's a market, trade it. don't mix politics, the market does not care.

    u are right.

    they will destroy the $US. however, ownership of stocks is ownership of assets and cash flows. therefore the market must go up.
