Re: Corporate bonds will lure money from Treasuries 01/22/09
The reason I closed this is because I did not buy early,so making it only a trading option.But I learned one thing -when the government is actively manipulating the markets,buy what the government favors.Bill Gross is bullish on AIG,on the face of it seems laughable but the logic is impeccable once explained by the master -the government has put in 200 Billion in AIG and therefore it will not l...

Re: Corporate Debt 01/20/09
Contrary to what I thought no many people on SocialPicks are very bullish on PHK.It is up 17% as I write this.

Corporate Debt 01/20/09
Corporate debt seems to be the latest fad on Wall Street.The argument is the high yield will compensate for the "few" companies that will default.I am not too sure about the "few" but this looks like a trading opportunity.What is your opinion on owning corporate debt ?

Re: Bullish on EEV ... 01/06/09
I am going to be in a world of hurt here -emerging markets will rally strongly in early 2009 but I am not selling because they will fall after that.

Re: SRS 12/20/08
Real estate and financial services are going to be in a world of hurt when interest rates start rising again when inflation hits.Buy on dips and hold.Wait and watch. Disclosure-interested in Austrian economics,believes that we are going to face hyperinflation,owns gold -you get the idea :).

Re: Commodities Rally!!! 12/09/08
Inventories are still high,mining juniors are still alive,farmers are desperate but still farming - we still have a long way to go before supply is fully crushed.As with all booms(trouble ?) this would coincide with China recovering and the money printers will continue to run.Just as in the seventies when everybody prepared for inflation and there was a recession.After wards everybody prepared...

Re: Nibbling at a good company 12/08/08
An Obama bounce caused me to sell.28% over 5 days is nice.I am sure I will be able to buy it back at lower levels.

Re: time to buy crude? 12/01/08
It depends on how long your holding period is.Is crude undervalued ? Yes,it is.But the problem is it can go even lower next year.Marc Faber is predicting a rally in asset prices and given the oversold conditions it may well occur.But it will be short lived (if it occurs) and there would be a falling off the cliff kind of fall.My point is crude and hard assets could go down with it.One must have...

Re: 10/31/08
Thank you for your comment.I am very bullish on China but since global deleveraging is going on,it is better to wait to add on to positions.

Re: Mining major - close to 52 week lows 09/12/08
At these levels I dont think anybody can go wrong in the long run,the current bear market will last as long as central banks are tight.But sooner rather than later India and China will refocus on growth by loosening monetary regimes and commodities will soar again.
