Look, I try to have no preconceived notions. I try not to pick fights with guys bigger than me (or if I do, I try to smack him across the forehead with a bat at least once before we get down to business :-) I've been both taking advantage of the Fed's largess in this country with bonds I picked up late last year and with stocks since March as well as abroad in foreign bank accounts. While I am not against owning precious metal...

that's an important chart for all the "dollar-is-falling-apart" chatter, it is important to notice that while the US dollar index is at 74 now, it was LOWER at 72 a year and a half ago before it went up all the way to 88. I consider that a warning sign of what can happen with the next financial system hiccup.

< Indirect bidders, a group of investors that includes foreign central banks, bought 62.5%.> I don't see how anyone can tell how much (if any) of the indirect bidding includes bidding by the Fed to keep a cap on rates. I further don't see how anyone can tell how much of the foreign central bank buying represents either a "gentlemen's/gentlewomen's agreement" between the central banks and the...

ah Qaz, in plain english that was easier to understand.....but the market on those days is still bigger than any hedge fund.....the individual issues though are always being screwed around with by the black boxes..... ...and the govt in all honesty is trying to up the deficits and lower the dollar......as for the Fed....they are into monetary policy....they can barely lower the dollar enough without the central govt's fiscal policies...

On the contrary there is less transparency today than there was before. The government's balance sheet is expanding, and the abuses that have led to the one cause of the crisis have continued". "I think eventually there will be a big bust...

I've always suspected this but nice to have someone confirm it for me. No argument from me. Once I grabbed mine and started punching buttons while on the freeway in heavy parkic. (What do you call "traffic" that doesn't move?) It told me the way home, which I already knew. Then I pushed "Detour" and it got me around the blockage.

Unless the Dubai thing immediatly goes away, government backed bonds may become less of a slam dunk bet. what's that I hear? something threatening American asset prices? just bail them out! we can't afford a systemic domino effect no need to negotiate... just them 100 cents on the dollar for those bonds

The "Obama" heading makes it political, but actually the program wasn't about President Obama, but many of the powers that be in the government's financial system. It was an interesting program, but it wasn't a debate. The strongest anti-administration debater was Eliott Spitzer, who is a Democrat. There were no Republicans or strong conservatives (such as from the American Enterprise ...

I had massively liquidated yesterday, fearing precisely this kind of Dubai thing. It could have been something much smaller than that to trigger a decline. Actually, Dubai is kind of a big deal - a real new economy, hot money kind of place, in the middle of the oil patch. If they have a debt problem there, then every place in the world is at risk the market is the same circus that is had been...

Wish I could correct the above post. The software fix will be in all Toyota models by the end of 2010 - so some 2011 vehicles will have the fix in them. It will be full deployed and 100% guaranteed to be on all 2012 vehicles.

>> So I fixed both of these issues about 6 months ago. Now, only ~20% of my portfolio is denominated in USD, and the other 80% of it is roughly split between the AUD, JPY, EUR, SEK and CAD. This move alone has saved me 10% or more in depreciation losses that the USD has seen just in the last 6 months. But most importantly for the long-term, I am now diversified in several currencies so ...

I wish I could think this report just alarmist ... but sadly these things are for real ... and the consequences will be real. US (and UK) national debt is becoming society-threateningly large. There are solutions - close the trade gap so not as much fiscal stimulus is needed, and tax the idle wealth of the rich* ... but it doesn't look like the ruling elite have what it takes to do ...

Krugman then shockingly states that this might reduce the public's trust in their gov't officials. Well, David, it clearly won't reduce YOUR trust in government officials. Nor mine. We both trust said officials to choose the worst available option.

Hi Milligram, I still stick to my guns, no meaningful recovery until 2011. <SNIP> Until the growing hidden housing is sold off at dirt cheap levels, the needle just isn't going to move.

Pontiac -- Nearly 35 years after taxpayers spent $55.7 million building the Pontiac Silverdome and a year after a $20 million sale fell through, city officials have sold the arena once called the most desirable property in Oakland County. The price: $583,000. ... Such sentiments weren't uncommon Monday, after city officials unsealed bids showing the property that was home to the ...

a few other points: not included in the 203 total, are the puts that expired worthless the past 4 months - probably another 20 contracts total for those. also, I re-read my post and didn't mean to imply that these contracts were never in the money, only that they aren't in the money now. But only 3-4 underlyings have been in the money the past few months - they are GBCI, NAT, TBT, and ...
