Too kind, dala

You're truly one of the finest posters ever to grace this message board.


Been an unbelievable September so far

Could see some profit-taking on Monday, tho … and a correction sometime next month … but we're still hoping to see that broad market index sitting around 1,200 or so by year's end…

Oh my God.

Insider selling last week was 1400 companies to 1 buying. Nothing to see here.

An investor who bought 759 bullish AirTran Holdings Inc. options last week captured a 14-fold gain today after Southwest Airlines Co. agreed to buy the company. ... Excluding commissions, buying the contracts at 15 cents each on Sept. 21 would have cost about $11,385, compared with about $163,000 to sell them at the open of U.S. exchanges today, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

^^^ Wendy's Employee-of-the-Month

Keep runnin' with "the herd", randy … and stay out of the market.

You'll be working that night shift at Wendy's till you're 80...

…the TrimTabs numbers show, instead, that over the past decade it was actually quite easy to time the market. All you had to do was buy when the public was selling, and sell when the public was buying. … Human beings are hard-wired to run with the herd. … And that's how they act on the stock market as well. But when it comes to investing, it's a bad idea. Your feelings are a bad guide. And there is no safety in numbers.
...

All you had to do was look at the latest numbers from the Investment Company Institute, showing whether the public was putting money into their stock-market funds or taking it out. And then do the opposite.




Take a few minutes and read this WSJ article posted on yahoo.com today, randy

You'll learn something...

Oh give him a nice kissy-poo!

although past performance is no guarantee of future returns, i have to give it up for the one consistent market bull on this board the last 15 months.

dala had the class to be first. i'll sheepishly join in.

i think it's time for those who called the last year a sucker's rally to throw in the towel.

That's downright hysterical. The economy is in shambles, if you think it can be papered over, so be it. Gold hit 1317 this morning smart guy, try and explain that. There is zero confidence in this recovery and the fact is, all you are doing is losing purchasing power right now....You've been wrong for years on anything economic, for you to chime into this thread is priceless.

Randall is right. The big boys are just setting the table trying to drag mom and pop back in before the rug gets pulled out. Without coal to stoke the furnace (jobs) this is simply putting lipstick on a pig.

And how in the f.uck do we know if he's making money?

Stop being such a democrat.

Because it's the internet and he says so....duh.

Now if you'll excuse me I have to go bang a model in my Bugatti Veyron.

is it problems with reading comprehension or math?

me: stocks are up the last year. one poster has consistently made that call.

the chorus: durr...the economy.

i never said a word about the economy and i don't give a f if he made real investments or not. he made the call in the face of all you geniuses who have been wrong for more than a year.

and randall: when it comes to equities, you've been rht since the beginning of this thread. i was wrong about gold and admitted it publicly a long time ago. time for you to do the same here.

Buzzz, incorrect. My thread is the one on the demise of the dollar. And as I said in that thread what happens with equitiies is meaningless if the worth of a dollar is so much less. Which is exactly what has happened. The Weimar gang in here has no clue on history or economics. They will be thrilled when they get a 10,000 dollar bill to buy a loaf of bread b/c they will feel rich? Where am I? Who cares

And prices will rise because?? There is no pricing power whatsoever in the country at this point. De-Flation is the biggest risk.

They are currently collasping margins at an increasing rate. Deflation will and has to happen. In the meantime, who knows where peoples breaking point will be when they have no job, no prospects, and yet the value of the things they actually need, food, oil goes up. They can print all they want, they can't make it go where they want. They are crushing middle class people and starving out the poor...We have 48 million people on food stamps and I have to read about cartwheels over the where the Dow is? :zz:

Some math at 3pm

Dollar Index down .83% (not cherry picking b/c that's against all currencies)

S&P up .5%

You lose for the day.

Better yet, since no one has any faith in the dollar you get it in the butt---how you ask? Well that .83% decline has resulted in oil being up 2.04% on the day....Do you drive? Do you like food? How does that food get to where you buy it? How do the tractors run to get the food? Do you travel? Do you heat your home?

randall when does doomsday arrive ? 2 , 3 , 5, or 10 yrs?

:tro:


Usually don't bust Rock's chops … but that first sentence to randall was LOL hilarious.

Can you predict when a terrorist attack is going to happen? Watch what the market does if they hit us again.

no

bin Laden and his Doctor friend still alive. It's been over a decade and they still can't catch the guy. They've had 9 years of recruiting and now they're getting white guys to join the cause so profiling goes completely out the window.

Bailout after bailout. The housing market dead. Jobs slowly recovering but mostly double-minimum wage or less.

Yeah go all in on the market. They already f.ucked millions with their 401k. Credit dried up. People carrying ridiculous amounts of debt. Hardly any saving enough to retire.

Yeah it's peachy.

obama to save us all in his 2nd term coach , kinda like oaky st last night , right?

Yeah think it's a lock with 12 to go and end up sweating it out for a push.

GMAC and another lender are practically being forced to halt foreclosures. But then again the market doesn't deal in reality nowadays. Everyone on board!

Randy..you're a pretty smart guy.

Small losses on the week:

Dow … 10,830 … down 0.3%

S&P 500 … 1,146 … down 0.2%



By the way, last month was the best September in over 70 years with that Dow gaining 7.7% and the S&P 8.8%.


:wf

:baby::baby::baby:

Bringing in the USDX kind of defeats your point though doesn't it? The dollar is stronger today than it was when the bull run started in march of 2009.

Any way you paint it, if you followed Smooth Operator over the last 18 months, you would be ahead. Is this not correct?

Mr. Snot...don't answer her.

It's tape recorder bait.



Besides,she's become a Quasi al Jihadist.

God Almighty, the idiocy around here never ends. Maybe some charts of the past month will do you well.

" (Never mind that priced in dollars when adjusted for the debasement, they're not actually going up at all.... and your salary sure as hell hasn't gone up 7% in the last month either. Incidentally a 7% monthly rate compounded over the year implies a 225% annualized inflation rate, which is the gain you'd have to have in your salary to keep pace with this crap.)"

1. …gold could go to $2,400 an ounce based on the fundamentals--and that momentum could carry it to $4,000 an ounce.

2. …get out of bonds while you can: You're much better off investing in blue chip stocks with good dividend yields…

3. …buy a home. Now…



According to the hedge fund manager who made a fortune betting against subprime mortgages…

:) Just so my simple mind understands- You are saying that if I had put $1000 USD in the S and P 500 on March 9, 2009 and cashed out yesterday, I would have lost money. Is that right?

you aren't factoring in the magical 225% annual inflation visible to those in the know, moron.

On a day when gold hit 1350, you'd think you'd have enough sense to just keep your mouth shut.

but everyone that invested in gold the last 18 months has lost money according to my secret rainbow unicorn club.

i have charts.

More like 50%. Keep poo pooing gang. You see where this fun race to the bottom leads.

The thing about the market/commodities/etc. is that you don't have s.hit if you don't sell it. Whoopity f.ucking doo if the numbers are up and you're still sitting like a pompous cartoon bullfrog with a tophat and cigarette.

Sometimes not losing money is all you should be concerned with. And with ETFs you can sell it anytime you want....Took my tophat to the gas station today to see that gas is up nearly 20 cents in 10 days. This while the economy sputters. Nothing pompous about that.
