    Energy Less Liked Than Financials [view article]
    Don't go short on financials - look back on all the years in the past when banks and financials were down and we thought our bank account and stock value was dead
    What happened, they rose to levels higher than ever
    If you didn't buy something today (9-3-2008) when the market took a 300+ nose dive YOU LOST OUT

    OK, so why can't you construct options plays (straddles, strangles, and the like) between options on ETFs of commodities, stock and/or currency indices, and capture the shift that way?

    Pretty much everything is monetized in the form of ETFs today, and in many cases, there are options on those ETFs.

    Or did I completely miss the point here?     Reply

    Like all bull markets, there are many 'reasons' for a rise. The high-cost-cull also supports our argument for higher prices.

    There will be a rise in beef but not for the reasons you cite. It is because of an early cull a few months ago in response to high corn/feed prices, their inventories are now extremely low and will put upward pressure on beef prices this fall. In fact, given the pullback in feed prices, the 4th quarter may be a banner period for the beef producers if costs trend lower. Reply

    I profiled several wholesale food distributors(like SYY) and dining establishments (like BOBE) and they all were unable to hike the price past the ceiling already in place. If they raise prices further to pass on costs, they're going to lose revenue and if they don't raise, then they're going to lose revenue anyway. Catch-22 Reply

    Implicit in all the talk...(cycles, resistance and support levels, reserves, borrowing more money to pay off bad money, housing bottom, ...... is the absurd notion that financials will ride the same horse that took them up the mountain and down....back up the mountain again. In case it has escaped attention, that horse (READ BUSINESS MODEL) is dead and stinking to high heaven. Financials are only half way down the mountain. Right now they, and the dead horse, are on a cliff way
    above the rocks and river below. Happy landings and happy trails.

    I appreciate the compliment, as at 43 I don't often get called "young". I also appreciate not only yours but also the many other accusations of insanity, as it helps me to get a feel for the psychological state of the market. Reply

    Insanity is not catching I hope.

    What is it about bottoms and young men? They seem to always see them and go overboard. In this case: today's market is not a bottom, and you may have lost your mind if you like this bottom.

    Just a ladies view for what its worth.     Reply

    The volume will return when we know that the government will no longer interfere with the market. A lot of the short sellers are staying out of the market because they don't know when the next "stick save" comes from the Fed or Treasury.
    The volume will stay thin until we feel more comfortable that the "free" market is back!     Reply

    As with everything else, there is good retail and poor retail. Long TRLG, BWLD, URBN which have done good.

    Then there is poor retail like CHS and CROX.     Reply

    I think it would be instructive for you to learn how to read a mania chart.

    Then go look at the dow.

    Then look at the mania chart example again (Prechter's book has a few good ones).

    Then look at the Nikkei 225 over the past 2 decades.

    Then glance back at the mania chart examples like tulipmania and south sea trading.

    Then review the dow one last time.

    See a pattern?

    Now look at all the charts of financial stocks one at a time.

    See a pattern?

    Now look at the FDX chart.

    See a pattern?

    Now look at DE.

    See a pattern?

    If you haven't gotten the point by now then you are not very good at pattern matching.     Reply
