Follow-Up10/30/08

Today was an interesting day for the market. The market tried to climb higher in an up-trend, but failed to sustain at the end of the day, regardless of the record-high rate cut announced by the Federal Reserve of 50 basis points (0.5%). This is overall bearish and stays consistent with the overall l...
A New Trend?10/29/08
—
The market reversed pretty hard today, cutting away quickly at my leveraged positions aimed at a further tumble in the market. I have closed all positions and I am waiting for a certain direction for the market to take, because as of right now it could go either way. It is very emotional and volatile...

The market has been dropping like a rock the past two days and I've been positioned quite well to take advantage of it. I was expecting more bank failures to come since the beginning of summer and it was just a matter of time to see Fannie Mae (FNM), Freddie Mac (FRE), Lehman Brothers Holdings (LEH),...

Market turbulence has always pushed market participants seeking safer investment vehicles to bonds.

Stocks are obviously a no-go for risk averse investors, so the question is what...

I've been bearish ever since the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) went below 12,800; putting up a huge bull flag for me. The Russell 3000 All Cap index (^RUA) hasn't been doing too hot ever since that January 15th plunge either. So what am I sticking to in this market?Two things:Gold & SilverS...

More write-downs for Citigroup (C) today, due to underestimation. C is talking of cutting dividends by 40% which is scaring fixed income investors away.
