    Global Market Roundup: Will the Bailout Work? [view article]
    The rescue package will take time to work its magic. And while people watch for indicators of success from implementaion of the rescue package, there is a possibility that better opportunities might emerge. This is time when perceived risks are higher than real risks. In the short term, corporations may well find earnings potential fall below long term earnings potential; and this might cause better entry points. However several economic risks are already priced in. This is a market for long term investors (5/6 years). Sector allocation is important, overweight positions need to determined based on which sectors will benefit most during the next cyclical upswing; also to consider is over-weighting the presently undervalued sectors; and finally consider the sectors which outprform based on where we are in the economic cycle today. Investors should also not forget to rebalance portfolios more frequently than in normal times. Finally, do not forget diversification across asset classes. Its a good market for traders too; volatility is high which is good for day traders. Positional traders can also look forward to an up quarter followed by a re-test of lows. This is one of those times when there is opportunity for everyone, regardless of style - short term/long term/trader/bull/bear. The only styles I would say might feel a bit left out is growth; because I think this is a time value will outperform and off course, small caps should lag large caps. Reply

    Excellent review! The Doom & Gloom scenario seems almost universal - indicating that perhaps the worst has already been discounted. But "hold on" for more volatily until the dust settles and investors begin looking past the devastation to the inevitable economic and market recovery. Reply

    Market Nosedive Pushes Dollar Down [view article]
    me too ... but I was considering converting my US dollars into another hard currency with high interest rate and the AUD fits that requirement. However my question is is there a credit risk or default risk by Rydex (the institution that offers FXA). what if Rydex goes under? is the FXA gone with it, or do we, as investors, maintain owenership of the AUD deposits at JP Morgan? can comment Mr Nilsen?

    I probably should not post here as I am not a trader .. and have absolutely no business dealing in FX.
    As such, I rely on the "basic fundamentals" and have had some positions in FXA, FXC and FXM .... NOT because of some magic formula but for the yield and the underlying fundamentals of the US dollar.
    The world is awash in US dollars. Deficits (trade and budget) are beyond any level of reason. There is no sign this trend will NOT continue. The "printing presses" are going 24/7/365 so .. dare I apply the laws of supply and demand? .. the trend for the greenback can only be down.
    For yield and some comfort look into the FX series (Canada, Mexico, Australia.) They are deposits in New York banks, provide nice yields and offer, in my opinion, some price appreciation potential if one has patience and a time horizon beyond tonight's dinner.
    I currently hold a few shares of FXA. Have done rather well in the past (mostly dumb luck) with FXC and FXM... but I liked the yield along with the luck.

    Windinthedust, I was hoping someone else would bring up those questions, since I'm hearing more and more about them every day. They are interesting questions, but so far only talk radio and the conservative papers are discussing them. Gee, I wonder why...? You don't suppose... nah, really? (insert snicker here...) Reply

    The rescue plan are nothing more than A,B,C simple step of progressive economics. However cleaning bank and other firms balance sheet is NOT enough to solve the crisis.
    Citizens (sorry, we call them consumers) with students loans, debt, and 20%-30% credit card interest rate ) , can not barrow. If banks lend them any way, the cycle turn again with net results.
    people lose homes due to Bidden Clinton vote for the Bankruptcy law, and banks end owning the land and homes again.
    NEED to Revise the bankruptcy law again and students loans waiver law.

    andyn; A brief quiz for you to research, to help you be more informed;

    Who has been in charge of Congress for the last two years?

    In 2005, who was it that voiced concerns over Freddy/Fannie and who blocked those reforms?

    Who are the former Freddie/Fannie execs, how much money did they make, and who are they now working for? (hint: they are working for one of the presidential candidates)

    Which Congressmen/women, received sweet heart deals for personal gain, and or donations to their re-election campaigns from Freddie/Fannie and other financial & mortgage institutions?

    dailymusings.spaces.li...

    As far as socialism, goes, which vice presidential candidate, recently stated, that it is the "patriotic duty" to be taxed, and that money be given to the government for redistribution? (Hint: it wasn't Sarah Palin)     Reply

    Noe there's a comment that makes real sense and if you don't agree, ask yourself this question:

    Have you traded currency through a $700 billion to $1 trillion government bail out?     Reply

    I'm neither bullish nor bearish on the dollar, I just don't think Friday's news justifies taking a big long or short $$ position. With the current volatility you can get wiped out, so it is not worth the risk. Reply

    The dollar bulls are pretty amusing to still be disparaging other currencies. The world is flat and getting flatter,and the US has finally pretty much managed to bring itself down to the level of everyone else out there what with its gigantic bailout costs that will ultimately show up (or not show up) on the US balance sheet. Look forward to a game of "let's pretend" the bailout costs are off book even as Mr. Bernanke runs new fresh new batches of Treasuries on his printing press. The Chinese will now slowly but surely diversify their dollar reserves into other currencies and demand higher rates of return on US
    paper due to its riskier balance sheet. Can you blame them? An era has ended. What hath Wall Street wrought?     Reply

    bearfund: "The dollar is going over a cliff; short it now if you haven't already. Other paper may follow at slightly lower speed."

    I just don't see it.
    You are presuming that other currencies/gold are now all-of-a sudden healthier because of what happened Friday. Really? I thought other central banks were pitching in to prop up the banks too. Buy gold? Yes gold has a short term up-trend, but it is still near its all-time high and has a long way to fall. I wouldn't be placing any big bets in this market.


    andyn "The US is becoming a socialist state..."

    No more than ususal. The government must intervene when faced with a run on the banks. Massive government intervention with taxpayer $$ to prevent a run on the banks has little-to-no effect on the level of US socialism.

    When I look at the 8-year IWM chart and current P.E.s, I have to believe stocks have alot further to fall before any sustained rally.

    Nothing has really changed, most stocks are down on the week, and cash is still king.
