Shorting Treasuries: What's the Rationale?
One assumption that is being made is the foreign governments will continue to purchase US treasuries at the same rate that they are currently doing. The first problem with that assumption is that the US will not be importing at the same rate that they have historically. That means that the funds available to purchase US treasuries will not be available at the same level that they were before. The second problem is the ever increasing amounts of money that the US must borrow. Even if the foreign governments were will to keep purchasing Treasuries at the same level, not going to happen, US deficit is exploding. IN the end interest rates will explode and inflation is the only way out of this mess since default is unthinkable.
Post-Election Stock Massacre
Most of your posts are useless statistics and this one is worse than useless.
I would hate to see how much money you have lost for people.
Back at the Bottom
I AM AMAZED THAT YOU GUY ARE STILL YELLING BUY BUY BUY.
Don't you get it this is going to be a f-in depression! The market may not recover in real terms for 15 years. P/E ratios mean nothing when no one will be able to buy your product in the future. The SEC is the bitch for the hedge funds and naked shorting is going on in a massive scale not seen since 1929. Those shares will never be covered since the SEC will see no evil.
This is the greatest rip off of the typical American EVER. Their 401k/IRAs will be wiped out and their SS has been stolen with huge tax breaks for the wealthy.
Those 5k charting packages are worth nothing. The manipulators know how they work and are paying with the suckers who follow.
We have NOT seen the bottom and when we do it will be a very long time until stock/economy recovers. I see at least 7-10 years for the economy to recover and even then it will depend upon things being handled correctly by the FED. FAT CHANCE given their history
Stop thinking with a 1-2 year horizon that will not be long enough.
REITs: Spreads as Wide as a '70s Necktie
I do not like the stopping of your chart in 1998. It is as if the recient years and yeilds have been realistic. You also do not look at the debt or the area that the reit is in like GGP.
Charts of the Day: Gold, and Baltic Dry Index
If you do then I have a great condo in Miami, it will go up in value, TRUST ME.
Why Short Sellers Are the Heroes of Wall Street
Give me a break
"Basically, the SEC banning short-selling is socialism. Plain and simple."
You must think every one on this board is an idiot.
Again you suck at this issue so take you carpet bag and get lost
Gold ETFs: What Went Wrong With Conventional Wisdom?
This Is What Happens When Everything Is Undervalued
It is the same in that the naked shorters will have all the money and the rest of you suckers will loose all of your retirement.
It is the same in that we are entering a great depression.
It is the same that there wil ne no enforcement of the laws for fake shares.
Take your money off the table while you still can.
Why Short Sellers Are the Heroes of Wall Street
We know you are a mouth piece for the hedge funds.
More On Rising Dollar, Declining Gold
Additionally the banks with the FEDs help have been driving the price of gold down so that the mom and pops will be forced to pay for the inflation tax. This cannot go on forever.
Could the Uptick Rule Save the U.S. from Financial Terrorism?
When manipulation gets to the point of where new companies with new technologies are crushed in our financial markets due to fake shares (naked shorting) and manipulation of the markets. We then are looking at this unregulated criminal activities participating in the destruction of the US economy.
Why Short-Selling Bans Cause Problems
5 Failures of SEC Chairman Cox
Bush said keep the laws at bay while my rich friends steal everything they can from the markets. HE DID WHAT HIS BOSS TOLD HIM TO DO
I hope all you folls out there get it. But I that is most likely not going to happen.
St. Joe Company: A Clear Case of Overpromising
It's Only the End of the Beginning
Keep propagating the fairy tale that the entitlement programs are the problem.
Tax cuts for the wealthy are the problem.
Tax breaks for the Corporations are the problem
Tax breaks for those oil/timber companies that eat our resources are the problem
Propaganda from the media and your disinformation is the problem.
The republicans have run up 9.5 trillion of the 10 trillion in the total
federal debt. Reagan had 3 trillion and Bush senior had 1.5 trillion and this Bush will have 5 trillion by the end of his term. LOOK UP THE NUMBERS The game of the uber wealthy is to drive the budget into the ground so that any social welfare programs cannot get funded.
Trickle down was a lie except if you think of the middle and lowers classes as peons. The top 1% are 50% wealthier since Reagan began his tax cuts and the bottom 25% are 20% poorer. LOOK it up, these are Heritage foundation numbers.
Enforcement of the tax laws are not being applied to the uber wealthy. The poor schmuck that has a salaried job carries the entire burden. He has no 6 figured salaried accountants and lawyers to keep him from paying his taxes.
The tax breaks have force the use of our social security to be spent on those uber wealthy tax breaks. Now that they have ripped all of the money out of the system to increase their wealth by 50% then they say you must cut Medicare and Medicaid and social security and by the way I want my social security check. This is even though social security taxes for the wealthy peaked at about 80K income after that they do not need to pat any more Social Security.
Welfare represents about 3% of the federal budget.
This time they were not able to pass this disaster off to the next Democratic president. This system of corruption and no federal enforcement of the banking and SEC laws have resulted in a collapse of the system. Bears bulls and pigs. The Wealthy been bad little piggy’s and they are using mouth pieces like yourself and the corporate owned media to blame it on the folks who got screwed by this disaster.
