As if we needed any more proof the game was rigged...

Here's The Email That Bloomberg Sent To The University Of Michigan Back In 2006 Blasting Them...

Old thread but isn't it funny how it hasn't taken all that long for shit to hit the fan, basically in the same way I was expecting and predicting, huh?

Treasury’s Brainard: US supports Japan’s efforts to reinvigorate growth, end deflation

POMO

Why the Dow loves Tuesday

That's pretty schizophrenic. Isn't Japan one of the Group of Seven? If so, why would intervene now to go against their own efforts?

Yen Has Fallen Too Far, Study Says

1. I don't live in Detroit, I just don't wear rose-colored glasses. 2. I never said any of those things, so don't put words in my mouth. 3. Unlike you, I never got personal with you by telling you to take your meds, but... 4. You must really like ...

Moody's: U.S. banking system outlook changed to stable as economy improves

That depends on your viewing angle. I do live here, and nothing, and I mean nothing has changed fundamentally since 2008. Not to anyone who matters, anyway. QE did its job, alright. Trillions $ more in liquidity, higher stock index levels, fewer but ...

Moody's: U.S. banking system outlook changed to stable as economy improves

Everything is positive, stocks are surging yet cheapest they've ever been, dollar is undervalued - sell everything you own and invest!

Moody's: U.S. banking system outlook changed to stable as economy improves

He seems to be implying to go long on Japan because the trend is about to be broken. Foolish advice, IMO.

Nikkei Downtrend (1982-Present)

This is an easy one. Paul Krugman is the next one, he's like Bernanke on crack.

Who Will Fill Bernanke’s Shoes When He Steps Down?

How the hell would OP know who the sellers are? Do you have some private attributed order book view nobody has access to?

Australian dollar still getting sold

LOL, while I have some respect for this guy, his timing has been notoriously bad, so I hope he's not trading on his statements... this last one may very well be a nice contrarian indicator.

Roubini: Why I like stocks, for now

Lehman was supposedly not too big to fail, yet another miscalculation that almost sank the entire system. Plus, their CEO had his head up his ass until the very end, squandering viable options to keep at least a portion of the company going past ...

Paul Krugman's call to arms against austerity

Not sure if there's any logic there to this buying frenzy. The NFP report came in better than expected, presumably raising chances of decreased stimulus. And if the Fed did reduce the size of QE, that would be pretty catastrophic to the "recovery" ...

Historic Day on Wall Street: S&P Breaks 1600, Dow Touches 15000 on Jobs Report

Hey, how's that long working out for you? Still feeling cocky?

Why Shorting the Aussie Is 'Trade of the Century'

Does anyone here read past the headlines? Maybe a 40% crash is not in the cards, but the guy does make some good points, such as: - speculative flows into AUD-based assets are not sustainable over a long term. - concerns over exorbitant exchange ...

Why Shorting the Aussie Is 'Trade of the Century'

Is she smoking crack?

Merkel: Higher interest rates would be better for Germany

I got a better one for you: "The emperor has no clothes!"

Stocks tumble as copper enters bear market

HFT would be extinct if exchanges adopted progressive execution fees for back-to-back trades, e.g. depending on the interval between consecutive trades for the same security, charge for each 1K shares traded: - between 1 min and 1 hour: $3 - between ...

The Last Time The Dow Was Here...

What an idiot this writer is. Investors stopped pushing markets higher or lower years ago. It's all about HFT.

Stocks Push Toward Record

Good shorting opportunity before they (probably) cut the rate next week.
