Birchtree's Account Talk

[Birchtree]

Think about money rocket fuel waiting on the sidelines - this from my WSJ. "Investors plowed $149 billion into U.S. based money market funds between the start of November and Jan, 30, bringing total assets under management to $2.695 trillion, close to the most since mid-2011. The average U.S. money-fund yielded 0.04% on an annualized basis as of Feb. 3, the lowest since October 2011." It just makes my mouth water.

Individual investors still nervous about stocks - Feb. 5, 2013

NASDAQ 100 is getting a bid, if APPL would get off its azz, this market could thrust into the next level...

I have more good news to share today. My peach tree is starting to show blooms and the female red tail hawk continues to build her nest. I would bet the Transports are parabolic today.

Wow, attack mode huh. Well played. A little to close to pulling the wool off I guess. Wolves are gaining in popularity, particularly werewolves. Dont be ashamed of truth.

As for the bond bubble discussion, let's do it the BirchBiden way...
Step 1. Google topic
Step 2. Copy and paste most pertinent info into talk thread.
Step 3. Remove all names, links and references.
Step 4. Sprinkle a few of my own words in.
Result...I look smart.

Well my dear you do look smart except you are being nonproductive. Anyone who owns bonds today is in a dangerous situation buying what they thought were safe bets. You will see money flee the bond market and surface in equities - remember the bond market is ten times larger than the stock market - there is no return in bonds. The slightest hint of any interest rate going up and woosh the slide starts. I don't want any risk exposure to the F fund. Please stay away from Uranus.

"Not only has the Chairman of the Federal Reserve guaranteed that current bond holders will get destroyed once the soveriegn debt bubble bursts, but he has also began to inflate yet another massive bubble in U.S. equity prices." That's purrfect.

Don't worry Tommy Gun I'll not get profane with Ms. Sugar.

"The fact that individual investors are not grossly over allocated to stocks at this point suggests they still have a fair amount of liquidity to invest," Mr. Ritholtz said in his blog. "As long as liquidity remains favorable stocks should not experience any deep setbacks."

Its amazing! No wonder your the man here Birch. Your "opinions" are word for word like the professionals. Gotta keep the flock fresh....Baaaa....Baaaa

Need the link Birch?
Didnt think so.

Haters gonna hate.

 

[Birchtree]

Did I see the Nikkei was up over 400 points overnight. That could mean we are not far behind. I would bet the A/D line in Japan is nothing short of spectacular.

 

[sugarandspice]

Haters gonna hate.

Lemmings gonna jump.

Lemmings gonna jump.

Yawn...

Yawn...

Awww how cute! Your showing Birch that you also think that I am "boring, boring." Just like he told you I am.

Dont worry, you will get further guidance on how to act on future posts.

You did prove the point to the highest level without even realizing it though.

You're neither amusing, funny or cute - one of which would at least make it worth perusing your posts. I suppose there are a few members who find your "Is it Sugar?" or "Is is Spice?" routine entertaining, and that must give you some strength to carry on such an utterly useless banter.

Oh, but wait, you've latched onto Birch and have taken on the mission to expose his faults to the masses (If only we had listened to your gospel sooner!) I wouldn't ascribe too much influence to Birch as you seem so eager to do. While you flatter Birch, you insult the rest of us on this Board by implying that some or many of us blindly follow his positive perspective on investing. By doing so you only make sure yourself look that more juvenile (a tall feat, indeed, considering you speak with two voices). As the good Sergeant Hulka once said, "Lighten up, Francis."

I can feel the passion and emotion in your words. But really its all a game Birch and I have been playing long before you ever were here.

And yes I know you have read my thread.

It is cute how you staunchly defend your independence though.

Whitney Tilson says; "Investors, looking backward, will once again realize they missed opportunities. Playing seasonality is the worst thing you can do. Markets simply don't work that way all the time, or even close, really." Chance favors the prepared mind.
