I like that new attitude. There is a great article today in my WSJ regarding margin - "Investors rediscovering margin debt." I got a very strong urge to lever up to the hilt. "With margib debt, investors pledge securities - stocks or bonds - to obtain loans from their brokerage firm. The money doesn't have to be used to just buy more investments. The funds can be used in what ever way the account holder wishes." It's better for me to borrow funds than sell stocks to raise cash - thus I eliminate the tax demands from capital gains. It's a sweet deal while the sun shines - but dangerous if one doesn't have deep enough pockets to absorb pain on occassion.

Yes, that was interesting. It took me by surprize. I should have known better, though. The Netherlands have always been under water. :laugh:

Small caps are still heading up, up, up

Glad to see we should be hitting new highs on the broader market soon, since they are currently lagging.

Gold is down

USD/Yen is up, way up

Bond are way down since Big Ben talked this morning (aka the F-fund is getting pummeled), which makes stocks the only place to find returns !!

What is this, a risk triangle???

Seriously, what is this?

 

[RealMoneyIssues]

Woohoo, clear sailing for 5 more years!!!

Bubble Friday? FRBNY Economists See No Bubble

 

[burrocrat]

what is a risk triangle?

i think the map is trying to say something about long term price stability and relative value. gold is always worth gold. it can vary a little how many dollars it takes to buy gold. it can vary a lot how many dollars you can get for real estate. by the time you get out to credit default obligations one day you could be rich and the next day they wouldn't even make good wallpaper for your house. like anybody still uses wallpaper anyways.

clear?

 

[RealMoneyIssues]

clear?

As mud...
