    Germany Declares War On Wall Street

    This guy was worried until he realized - What the hell, I'm not German. JTS

    Germany Declares War On Wall Street

    Okay, the title is somewhat of a bold statement, but the unilateral actions Germany took today are sending some serious shockwaves around the globe tonight. We are certainly living in interesting times. This is from Jesse's site: Link Merkel to The Banks and Hedge Funds: Sprechen Sie...

    Survivor: Heroes vs Villains

    Perhaps Mark Burnett should have a show where 20 or so people are stranded on an island with spears, knives and a mace or two and then each week a couple of them face off and battle each other to the death. Personally, I like the name PSurvivorX. This way we would never have to worry about a...

    Gold! WTF????

    Of course, you always need to be on the watch for black swans, and one certainly came wandering by today. :) It is looking like Germany has outlawed the naked short selling of gold, along with many other financial instruments; which if I'm reading this correctly would be very bullish for PMs...

    Gold! WTF????

    Perhaps it is my contrary nature, but I suspect that the current correlation between gold and the dollar is going to be short-lived. While the world is preparing for a hyper-inflationary whirlwind, the bond markets and the dollar are telling us to be looking out for something totally different...

    EU agrees on a Euro defense package

    Both Great Britain & Germany's voters have told their respective governments to stick it, and yet this weekend's bailout is announced anyway. Just like the US voters who called their representatives in droves to protest our bailouts also fell upon deaf ears. The reason behind this is clear...

    EU agrees on a Euro defense package

    Today is a short covering rally, but as we all found out last week, the market is a total scam right now. Trade at your own risk. Bruce Krasting has a good article on ZH titled "It's One Of Three Doors" that falls fairly close to my thinking. Link The 3 options are: -The first is that the...

    EU agrees on a Euro defense package

    I sold all my short positions on Friday when the market was just slightly down, because I was fairly certain that something like would happen over the weekend (and then spent the rest of the day kicking myself in the butt for leaving so much on the table). I fully expect the market to be up...

    Dow plunging

    Dow plunging

    Perhaps being missed in all this is the fact that the market was plunging today all on its own. The Greek crisis, when coupled with the news coming out of Washington about the breakup of the TBTF's, was far more of a culprit than anything being posed on CNBC. I for one added to my FAZ (3X short...

    Dow plunging

    A less trusting person might think, "hey, I wonder if someone knew in advance that a HFT algo trading program was going to dump all at once and create a once in a lifetime buying opportunity?" If we had someone at the SEC who actually gave a crap, you might see them looking at who was trading...

    Is Greece a Canary??

    I think we are seeing the answer sooner than many might have thought. Here is an interesting article by John Taylor by way of ZH that basically says the Euro is dead. By John R. Taylor, Jr., CIO of F/X Concepts Dead Man Walking May 6, 2010 One of the incidents that I remember from my youth...

    Lost - The Final Season (Spoilers)

    If I knew that my kids were safe at home with family to look over them, then I'd stay with my wife. Of course, I would have never have been in this position in the first place, because the first night on the beach when the smoke monster appeared out of nowhere would have caused me to run...

    Interested in purchasing stocks but never done it before

    It's kind of expensive if you take the entire program, but Investools gives you a great foundation for investing in the market. JTS

    Question for out of state fans

    As I drove around the past two days, I did a little informal observing of cars and trucks that I saw sporting NFL insignias, and this is what I saw: 3 San Diego Chargers, generally on more expensive cars. 4 Pittsburgh Steelers, generally on older, less expensive model cars. 3 Oakland...

    Finally picked a winning stock

    Conrad, are you still in your shorts? (that sounds kinda personal, doesn't it? :)) I've been accumulating VXX, TZA & FAZ for the past several weeks, just in case the Euro thing blows up. Or the GS thing blows up. Or the the new TBTF legislation gains some traction. Or any one of a hundred...

    Dockett on Bickley & M.J.

    You can always do what I did with my old Plummer jersey and cover up the name with duct tape and then write "Blake" on it. Then you can cover that up and write "McCown", and then "King" and "Navarre" or really almost any other name in the phone book until either the duct tape gets too thick...

    Chickens beginning to roost?

    This is a civil filing - it'll be interesting to see if criminal charges are leveled by the Justice Department. The market has been waiting for some event to start a correction, IMO. This could be it. It's funny if you subscribe to Fibonacci retracement theories that you would have circled...

    Breaking: Joey Porter arrested

    You could be on to something here that perhaps everyone is missing. This event occurred in Bakersfield CALIFORNIA. The cops are obviously freakin' 49'er fans! It's just another blatant case of DWC - Driving While being a Cardinal JTS
