To many traders are waiting for a crash. Whether it comes or not-most likely yes, but when. It is much easier just trading these big moves.

If the SPX was to crash say 20%..many have been waiting for that forever-when you could have made 20% by selling high and buying low.

I follow Woody and have pretty much made as much in the last 2 months than any crash waiters will make-if and when it comes. Good luck-but I strongly suggest follow this guy. He is amazing!!

J.H.C. - some trollop on CNBC making the "lower gas prices = more consumption" argument.

The U.S. has the most corrupt financial system and government on the planet with the biggest lies.

Art Cashin talking about Paul Singer's letter to investors this morning...

"There is a current set of delusions that is powerful and dangerous: that monetary debasement can be infinitely pursued without consequences; that the financial system is now solid and sound; that the low volatility and high prices of stocks....are real; ... they will only enter the history books as mass delusions..."

I like how they didn't even include Canada but included those big powerhouses like Mexico. I guess Canada doesn't exist to those in the UK.

Sell Puts ....Wear Diamonds!

I would NOT buy diamonds -- which are way overpriced -- unless I could convince a member of the Diamond cartel (a Hassidic Jew) that I'm a Tribesman, and thus haggle for a Tribal-price (40-50% of Retail price).  Easier said than done, unless you have a gift of the gab, a flair for languages, and a Tribal-sounding name (ends in "er" or "man").

A profitable portfolio is smartly diversified portfolio:  With assets and available cashflow invested in a mix of... Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Wealth.

PRIMARY = Paid off home, Strategic RE, PM, Valuable Art and Appreciating Real Assets.

SECONDARY = Shares in a profitable business (to generate Cashflow and Equity)

TERTIARY = Paper assets = Global private Bonds, Global Stock from undervalued markets only, Private Loans

SPECULATION:  Never invest more in Speculative Assets more than you can afford to lose, and still sleep at night.  For most people this is 5-10%.  Else you get what you deserve for letting emotions and greed get the better of you and your Risk Mitigation Plan:  losing your ass(ets).

A home is only an asset if you're renting it for a profit, after expenses.

even Ivy League idiots regard a home as an investment.
Far from reality. It.s simply consumption or a govt. tax collection item.
the qualification for an investment is future cash flow, else it,s speculation.

Or the payments are less than what you would have to pay in rent, unless you live in your parents basement.

 In addition to manipulation by the government-financial complex other forces are converging to further distort and disconnect Wall Street from the American economy. Why American equities continue to rise is very important, more is at force here than the usual causes which might include a pre-election and post-election rally. This is more than the continuation of a double down and let it ride mentality that has been ratcheting the market higher while reenforced by media hype.

Most analysts agree that money from countries with weakening currencies is flowing out of the troubled areas and the U.S. is receiving most of the benefit. The Japanese as well as many Chinese and Europeans know with so much money floating around and few safe harbors America is becoming the most comfortable option for temporary investing their money. More on why this should be viewed as a sign of instability rather than a reason to celebrate in the article below.

It could be that or everyone is trying to move their dollars into the USA before they issue a new currency and freeze out the suckers with dollars outside the borders.  Now with all the dollars flooding in you would expect the dollar to weaken but hey we know that the govt reports the exact opposite or what is true.

Well we know everything in the EU zone is complete garbage, untouchables.

Asia is somewhat tempting.

Russia is a pretty nice looking safe heaven.

 

And we all know to stay away from southern continents, because thats where the Illuminati plan to wipe everyone out so they can pave it all over to make parking spaces for their inter-stellar motherships.

I hear Jon Corzine got his mothership in Ferrari Red and Jamie Dimon got his in Metallic Blue.

Ben Bernanke couldn't mortgage his Mothership, so he opted to just rent a condo on Jamies ship.

Yellen was rumored to have modeled hers to look like a Giant Rubber Ducky.

BTFD bitchez. The exchanges run on the FEDs application software. Except maybe you want to hold off until the software stops and they bring it back up on a new platform.
