      Shorting Treasuries: What's the Rationale?
      I think that shorting government bonds is a good idea. But I do not see how these funds are going to provide the counter party shorted position. IE how do they pay for these shorted profits? I do admit that my knowledge is limited here. Could someone please explain?
      One assumption that is being made is the foreign governments will continue to purchase US treasuries at the same rate that they are currently doing. The first problem with that assumption is that the US will not be importing at the same rate that they have historically. That means that the funds available to purchase US treasuries will not be available at the same level that they were before. The second problem is the ever increasing amounts of money that the US must borrow. Even if the foreign governments were will to keep purchasing Treasuries at the same level, not going to happen, US deficit is exploding. IN the end interest rates will explode and inflation is the only way out of this mess since default is unthinkable.

      Post-Election Stock Massacre
      I think that you backhanded slap against Obama is BS. For example GGP went from over $60 per share to below $1.00 per share during the Bush administration. AND NOW it drops from around 1 dollar to 36 cents since he was elected and you blame Obama.

      Most of your posts are useless statistics and this one is worse than useless.

      I would hate to see how much money you have lost for people.

      Back at the Bottom
      "it also means that unleveraged, long-term investors should be buying, since prospective returns are better. They must be able to suffer through further mark-to-market losses, and not have recession-sensitive jobs or businesses."

      I AM AMAZED THAT YOU GUY ARE STILL YELLING BUY BUY BUY.

      Don't you get it this is going to be a f-in depression! The market may not recover in real terms for 15 years. P/E ratios mean nothing when no one will be able to buy your product in the future. The SEC is the bitch for the hedge funds and naked shorting is going on in a massive scale not seen since 1929. Those shares will never be covered since the SEC will see no evil.

      This is the greatest rip off of the typical American EVER. Their 401k/IRAs will be wiped out and their SS has been stolen with huge tax breaks for the wealthy.

      Those 5k charting packages are worth nothing. The manipulators know how they work and are paying with the suckers who follow.

      We have NOT seen the bottom and when we do it will be a very long time until stock/economy recovers. I see at least 7-10 years for the economy to recover and even then it will depend upon things being handled correctly by the FED. FAT CHANCE given their history

      Stop thinking with a 1-2 year horizon that will not be long enough.

      REITs: Spreads as Wide as a '70s Necktie
      Well you took some statistics and threw them against the wall and came up with a conclusion.

      I do not like the stopping of your chart in 1998. It is as if the recient years and yeilds have been realistic. You also do not look at the debt or the area that the reit is in like GGP.

      Why Short Sellers Are the Heroes of Wall Street
      I like the new ID called mountainXXXX. Very creative for a first time use to discount the impact of naked shorting.

      Give me a break
      "Basically, the SEC banning short-selling is socialism. Plain and simple."

      You must think every one on this board is an idiot.
      Again you suck at this issue so take you carpet bag and get lost

      This Is What Happens When Everything Is Undervalued
      Yes technology has improved. The naked shorters are no longer Paper Hangers they just use digital imputs to fake shares instead of printing the fake stock certificates.

      It is the same in that the naked shorters will have all the money and the rest of you suckers will loose all of your retirement.

      It is the same in that we are entering a great depression.

      It is the same that there wil ne no enforcement of the laws for fake shares.

      Take your money off the table while you still can.

      More On Rising Dollar, Declining Gold
      What you are forgetting is that inflation is nearly 14% already. See shadow stats.com
      Additionally the banks with the FEDs help have been driving the price of gold down so that the mom and pops will be forced to pay for the inflation tax. This cannot go on forever.

      Could the Uptick Rule Save the U.S. from Financial Terrorism?
      He is mixing the health of the economy with manipulation in the markets.
      When manipulation gets to the point of where new companies with new technologies are crushed in our financial markets due to fake shares (naked shorting) and manipulation of the markets. We then are looking at this unregulated criminal activities participating in the destruction of the US economy.

      It's Only the End of the Beginning
      “Unless America is ready to roll back its social safety net - and not extend it to universal health insurance as many people want - then the need is for higher taxes.”
      Keep propagating the fairy tale that the entitlement programs are the problem.

      Tax cuts for the wealthy are the problem.

      Tax breaks for the Corporations are the problem

      Tax breaks for those oil/timber companies that eat our resources are the problem

      Propaganda from the media and your disinformation is the problem.

      The republicans have run up 9.5 trillion of the 10 trillion in the total
      federal debt. Reagan had 3 trillion and Bush senior had 1.5 trillion and this Bush will have 5 trillion by the end of his term. LOOK UP THE NUMBERS The game of the uber wealthy is to drive the budget into the ground so that any social welfare programs cannot get funded.

      Trickle down was a lie except if you think of the middle and lowers classes as peons. The top 1% are 50% wealthier since Reagan began his tax cuts and the bottom 25% are 20% poorer. LOOK it up, these are Heritage foundation numbers.

      Enforcement of the tax laws are not being applied to the uber wealthy. The poor schmuck that has a salaried job carries the entire burden. He has no 6 figured salaried accountants and lawyers to keep him from paying his taxes.

      The tax breaks have force the use of our social security to be spent on those uber wealthy tax breaks. Now that they have ripped all of the money out of the system to increase their wealth by 50% then they say you must cut Medicare and Medicaid and social security and by the way I want my social security check. This is even though social security taxes for the wealthy peaked at about 80K income after that they do not need to pat any more Social Security.

      Welfare represents about 3% of the federal budget.

      This time they were not able to pass this disaster off to the next Democratic president. This system of corruption and no federal enforcement of the banking and SEC laws have resulted in a collapse of the system. Bears bulls and pigs. The Wealthy been bad little piggy’s and they are using mouth pieces like yourself and the corporate owned media to blame it on the folks who got screwed by this disaster.
