re: When does this bull market end?

That's why I posted the comment yesterday about he/she not being a dick like Rivers.

I am a woman.

Not copping out KFIZZ, but I said I JUST WATCH. THIS is what I see. Am telling you I am not running numbers. Today after 11:30 saw upticks in the the US markets. Well, guess what? Europe exchanges close at about 11:30 eastern. Money coming in from Europe I would imagine that would be because of the Euro debt situation. Just very unscientifically connecting the dots. Anyone here who is interested can look at it and see if they see anything.

Our of respect for the very anal KFIZZ, I won't discuss anymore correlations or charts and that will solve the problem.

That link that I gave this morning doesn't work for me now about the Fed hiring traders. So, let the black helicopters fly


Just as an example, I remembered that in the summer of 2009, I think it was, there was a lot of discussions on the financial boards about the FRBNY hiring extra traders. Say if you were a skeptical person and you questioned the reasons for hiring so many traders. One could have put say $10,000 in a S & P index fund and what would you have today? I'm just saying. There were a lot of people at the time that questioned that.

There is all kinds of info out there and you just have to do your own due diligence.

Now from zero hedge today...Pimco Total return

Left to everyone to decide whether it means anything or not.

I told you I don't care what you write about, its not my board. I'm not sure what's anal about pointing out that you're contradicting and discrediting yourself within every post, but by all means, keep going.

This thread is why I am hesitant to post on the money talk board. I have an amateur interest in the market/finance, but I afraid of getting ripped up by the "pros" on this board.

Just my 2 cents,

For the record, I do love the quality of the discussion on this board!

Joe, I am not a pro, but I know what you mean. It is a stimulating group.

I'm just hanging out now cause I am having to do a lot of reading and I get bored. I want to see what happens when QE2 ends. I will never be able to be a step ahead of the big money guys, but I don't want to be 10 steps behind them.

I try to position for 6-9 months at a time in most circumstances and then forget about it. I want to be free this summer.

We are living in unusual times and I don't think a true book on this financial crisis will be written for decades. We are witnessing history in the making and I find it exciting.

The financial crisis has been very personal for me because I have seen many people I know lose everything. Three men of my acquaintance have committed suicide. The human toll has been the real loss in all this.

You are doing the right thing by being interested. reading and learning. It's all any individual investor can do.

will sell massive amounts of UST vol to dampen/replace the effect of QE ending in June.

I don't understand this comment. If the Fed were to sell "massive amounts if USTs" wouldn't that directly compete with the Treasury to fund new debt? And where are all these buyers of USTs coming from?
