One year into the credit crisis, and one year after Cramer's rant. I decided to take a look at what I was thinking in August of 2007? On August 28, I said the following: > So you see Tom, I can’t be optimistic. There are too many crossed signals floating about. I will still be trading, but I feel...

I am tired of Cramer... I am tired of Fast Money...  I am tired of the drivel called CNBC America...  CNBC America you just converted me to Bloomberg TV. CNBC Europe I still like for the most part. CNBC America has jumped the shark. CNBC America has turned into a sort of show that is akin to...

I decided to take a look at my S&P prediction that I made in February. In specific let's look at the chart from February. | | | --- | | | Let's compare that to the actual S&P chart. | | | --- | | lookingback | The black arrow on the S&P is the time when I wrote the blog entry that made the...

Wow, to watch Fast Money one last time I decided to flip to CNBC, and what happened? Whitney talked with Maria... Wow, my two favourite ladies (NOT!) I am SO GLAD I watched Bloomberg... Objective information and not drivel... So Maria asked her, "what do you think of these shorting rules?" Her...

In February I did a simulation of the market. And if you look at how I predicted things, it has turned out to be pretty much on the money. My tops and bottoms are not completely right in terms of values, but pretty close. Closer than I expected. Along comes RBS and says the following. > A credit...

Ok I have officially turned bearish on Apple. Has the iPhone been a success? Yeah it was ok, but pretty good in general. I turned bearish because iPhone2 is not a cheap deal. The iPhone at 399 was a cheap deal because you could jailbreak your iPhone. And this was the exact reason why people bought...

So here is the question who is at fault? Is it demand or is it the speculator? I decided to find this out once and for all what is going on. In Michael Masters testimony he said that the Index Speculator is making things worse because of the calendar spread that is being created. The question...

Tom at Neural Market Trends posed the question on how one would build a neural network model of the US Dollar. I added the following comment: > My answer is you can’t. I am dead serious here.
