12%ayear's Account Talk

There he goes again, opening his big MOUTH!!

Agree - makes me wonder if he didn't just buy a boatload of put options on some of the market indices. Thankfully, the market does not seem to be reacting to his blather quite as much as it did shortly after he retired.

Agree. Yesterday didn't work out as "they" wanted, so hey, lets dust off crusty Al! Sorry, but its all gettin' so tired, and the markets know it (IMO).

12%, Is it too early to make a call for the smart money to step in and start buying to mind the gap between now and close of business today? Theres alot of doom and gloom out there....Greenspud blather....core CPI inflation1/10 point higher than anticipated...I am thinking alot of investers are selling right now and the smart money slowly buying in to position themselves for the end of year rally.....TSP talk survey came in as buy signal in S fund for next week...its up over 20% this year....and finally, Kudlow and his charts are more bullish than ever...whats your take today?

By the way, as a history lesson, the idea of shorting the market before pronouncing the bad news was perfected by none other than Joe Kennedy, Sr. He heavily shorted the US markets prior to making his infamous "democracy is pretty much finished" speech as ambassador to England (circa 1939) and made buckets of money as the markets tanked. However, that speech pretty much finished his higher political aspirations, as he was recalled by Roosevelt and replaced.

They are the dictators and thou shalt not argue because they better.

 

[Bullitt]

Kudlow and his charts are more bullish than ever

Is that possible?!

 

[Procure]

Nice one Bullit.....but the thrust of his charts are that this suprime mess is way over blown and that unemployment is low, profits and earnings are good not bad..were in the midst of a global boooom for god sakes.....inflation was at bay until today...and the Fed blew it this week and the Dow should be above 14,000....

After this bad week of downside, I strongly think we are heading back up. Too many negatives are telling me to be fully invested. Many are bearish. The Subprime news is almost all out in the open. These finanicials are just too cheap. Hedge and Mutual Funds will be scooping them up for short money. It seems Europe and Asia is starting to notice they have to cut in order for the USMs to gain momo. I love the I Fund for tomorrow based on the sharp push with the US DOLLAR. Nikkei is way oversold and along with the OSMs in Europe. I went to the I Fund for Thursday for a one pop and then I will go back into the S FUND for the small-cap rally heading into the new year. I see 14000s before 12000s.

Mandelbrots! I'd rather have grilled Brats!

Looks like I will be staying in the I Fund one more day. Japan and the EURO oversold

THE LAST 2 MONTHS HAVE BEEN A BAD DREAM??

I was really glad to see this post. Yesterday I had one of those discouraging moments - feeling like a loser. Then I went through the AT on this site to see how the long time Mega Gainers were doing and felt a whole lot better. The last 2 months have indeed been very strange - especially for the bulk of us who have typically been achieving consistent excellent gains. The way I see it - this is just a fluke - especially compared to the last 5 years (or more). Despite the disappointment - I've only lost a few thousand - so will stay in S Fund. On the other hand I'm thrilled for WV-girl, who was #80 towards the end of 9/07 and now is at #4. Also in these kaotic - troubling times - Griffin stands out as very solid. Anyway, the important thing to remember 12% - is that we were solidly ahead before the past 2 months - and in the long run we'll always end the game with a good score.

ot...please sign this ......... Pet Safety and Protection Act..
There are 15 Class B dealers left who round up dogs and cats from various "random sources" and sell them to research facilities. The Humane Society of the United States firmly believes that it is time to stop funneling dogs and cats—often times stolen family pets—into research facilities....It could be your lost pet!!! https://community.hsus.org/campaign/FED_2007_pet_safety_protection?source=gac4ly. The Federal Government should arrest these bastards and give them hard time.

Instead, some participants might have to be charged thousands of dollars in fees, depending on the amount and size of their trades

TY for the post and cross-post 12%. Another animal activist.

DITTO that from me -- Big Time

I've never known love on the level my dog gives me - ever -and if anyone does something to her - please dear God, don't let me know the one responsible.

Amen Brother, The love that a dog or any pet gives is priceless.My heart and my soul get ripped apart when I read these stories about animal abuse. They need our voice to help them.

looks like a +fv to me..plus we are due for one

 

[12%ayear]

Looks like Barclay mushed us last night. That is ok because the I Fund will start today with no -fv and we are up already over 1% as I type. I plan on staying in the I Fund just because the EURO is still oversold along with Japan. I will go into the small caps for the new year 2008. The I Fund is lagging about 4-5%. Looking for a new week for the I Fund next week.
