Fundamentals, News and the Market

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 20:59:35 -0800

We all hear from all possible stock market advisers and economists that the market discounts all news in advance, essentially validating the tradition to call news “newsnoise”. And I totally agree with that. However I also hear as many times that the market discounts fundamentals well in advance. And here’s the problem. It turns out that many [...]

All about Program Trading

Sat, 24 Oct 2009 18:09:02 -0700

All you need to know about Program Trading but were always afraid to ask. There is a lot of confusion on the internet about program trading and I have the impression that many people who seriously discuss it in fact are not directly involved in it. So what is program trading? In the past, when you needed [...]

The single Fed mandate

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 20:04:43 -0700

Every time I hear about the Fed dual mandate I feel it’s part of some kind of “find hidden words” game. The real thing is not what they say The dual mandate says “maintain price stability” and “empower the maximum employment”. Immediately confusing, because I see nothing dualistic here. It never happened in history of any [...]

Should I believe oil contrarians?

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 19:56:17 -0700

I’m very confused. Usually the press is a big contrarian indicator. For example the euphoria about economy makes me think that the stock market is a toast. But the abundance of bearish materials on oil (like this one) is very confusing. It would suggest that oil should keep going higher. But I don’t believe that. You [...]

Ben and China – the deal is done?

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 16:52:11 -0700

There are two stories that I’ve posted in my feed (the link at the navigation bar) – one is that China just made a bold statement about Ben printing money and another that monetary aggregates just turned into freefall mode (i.e. we are witnessing the start of the classic deflationary spiral). What to make of that? [...]

The recession is over

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 18:46:02 -0700

As the market just (most likely) formed an important intermediate top it is the good time to celebrate the end of this recession. The bear market rally always ends on perfect news. The end of the recession seems good enough to me to mark the top. The article I’ve linked above is the perfect example to [...]

The Fed statement

Wed, 12 Aug 2009 19:26:27 -0700

If not, we will monetize it and have FASB board bring back stricter accounting rules. Do you f*** understand? Now get a move on selling your $2 trillion in equities, you don’t have much time. Regards, Benny P.S. Jamie and [...]

Please keep in mind that United States is the only country in the world, which is not trying to push its currency [...]

Nostalgia: Cramer is calling the market bottom

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 20:48:28 -0700

Jim Cramer is the wisdom of CNBC, I love to citate him again and again. First link: Pushing toy stuffed bears through a meat slicer, the screaming, peripatetic CNBC anchor Jim Cramer declared that he “had unbelievable guts to call a bottom,” and said: “I am indeed sticking my neck out right here, right now, declaring emphatically that [...]
