I received an e-mail today about housing market: Please talk about your predictions about housing market (both for buyers and sellers)…. I said on the show that I will post an article that analyzed this better than I can ever do… Here it is. This very reliable information comes to you via Caseay Research: Should […]
Making predictions is a suckers’ game. (Believe me, I know). But Brett Arends of WSJ summarizes some serious concerns faced by the market. This week’s bone-rattlers may be making you wonder” and says: “way too many people are way too complacent this summer. Here are 10 reasons to watch out.” And without further ado… The […]
Long before Before Jim Cramer became a TV icon, he used to participate on Silicon Investor bulletin board. Circa 1998-2000 I had a few nasty exchanges with him. I once told him (paraphrasing), “Jim, when history is written about the Go-Go 90s, you will go down in the books a icon of the cheer leading […]
With current financial turmoil entering its fourth year, it is time to reflect on things that got us here. Today Ben’s bandits at the Fed announced that they will buy US debt (“in small quantities”, yeah – right!) to stimulate the weakening economy. Call this quantitative easing 2 or plain old printing, it only means […]
Aug 5, 2011 Update On the heels of the 512 point drop in DOW yesterday, one would be tempted to tune to CNBC for hand-holding – forgetting the fact that CNBC is one of the enablers of bubblonomics, a cheerleader for failed policies, and a mouth piece for fraudsters. First, listen to what Jim Cramer […]
Jim is a straight shooter. He is one the best minds there is who has uncanny knack with commodities and macro trends. I pay attention whenever he talks. You too should pay attention to this veteran and ignore other pigs who always promote the Street on CNBS. He echoes my sentiment, “European Stress Test is […]
Watch it in its entirety. Don’t know if you remember Tiger Woods crashing the car while wife chasing him animation, it has become normal for thes chinese media channels to animate few popular news 🙂
Guts, or kahunas as some would call it, look like this: In this video, Dylan raises temperature on the congressman who does nothing but divert the topic to criticize the Govt and spew Republican talking points. Talking point #1: Indict the Federal Government Talking point #2: Divert the topic to all Republican talking points And […]
When Congressman Alan Grayson asked this question, Bernanke said in a written statement, “No!” But a lot of market participants believe that the government does in fact intervene in markets in many overt and covert ways, one of which is to buy S&P futures. CNBS guys debunk this. [This via Zero Hedge] A highly amusing […]
She is baaaaaack! You may recall one of my earlier posts in which I featured a Frontline documentary on Brooksley Born. Well, this visionary and caring woman got to take on the chief criminal himself. From Huffington Post: The panel created to investigate the roots of the financial crisis escalated the government’s assault on Goldman […]
This guy doesn’t mince any words. With exception of a reference to ‘teleprompter’ (what does got to do with anything he said?), and a vicious attack on Obama, – he is right on. ———-
William Fleckenstein is a great resource of sanity in the midst of bubble. He is my erstwhile blogging buddy on Silicon Investor before he catapulted into mainstream punditry. In fact, I got schooled a lot from him about Greenspan’s follies. Bill weighed in today about markets. Watch and think. “after having completely ignored the bursting […]
Folks Here is an excellent summary on GLD. Please be careful and read the fund’s prospectus, if you are invetsed in it. The emperor is naked. “The Gold ETF is an excellent conduit to redirect physical demand into paper. The Gold ETF is similar to a fractional reserve bank. As long as customers don’t fear […]
IN the past few days, I have been occupied on several fronts, which is why lately I am not able to post much on TG. Today’s market action deserves some mention from me. Add to this, Japan is at new 52 week low. 2.5 to 4% losses in a day don’t come that often. Tomorrow […]
