      It's usually people on CNBC, when I watch it. Which is usually Squack on the Street and between 2 and 3 pm Eastern. Sometimes it also includes traders and guests on Fast Money, if I watch it. When more than 75% of all these people are bullish, it's a bearish signal for me. And vice versa. Not scientific at all, subjective, but worked lately for me.

      Well, that's what I do. Musing, I mean.

      Uncle Ben Signals the End Game
      So far, there is no problem with demand for treasuries, only with supply. Although it might be a good idea to short treasuries in the middle of the next year, they are at Great Depression level already. I mean, if you don't think we are in Great Depression 2.0.

      Fed buying treasuries is a SOP. Fed does it any time it wants to inject money into the world.

      Lemmings follow each other for a reason: it's evolutionary trait which improves survival chances. Sometimes they drown together, true.

      U.K. Times Gets It Wrong - No Planned Microsoft / Yahoo Deal
      I doubt Yahoo! search is worth 20 billion. Company capitalization is a little bit over 15 billion. There is also a small fact: Microsoft doesn't have 20 billion cash right now. Of course, it can easily get debt financing, but why?

      How Wall Street Has Failed the Individual Investor
      Don't get mad. Get even. Look for opportunities. Research markets. Make your own decisions based on your own convictions. It's your money, you are responsible for it.

      First of all, my apologies. Local bottom was on Nov 20, not Nov 24.

      Ramzi,

      I don't say that 951 is bullish and 949 is bearish. When I say "break above 950", I mean that S&P should go well above 950 and stay there for a while. For example, couple of days closing in 960-970 range or higher would be bullish. And of course, it's just my opinion and I can always be wrong.

      Jerry Yang's Blunder - Worst Business Decision Ever?
      Yang saved Yahoo! and possibly even Microsoft. But this decision also robbed shareholders of a lot of money. No, it's not the worst blunder, not even in top ten.

      By the way, in 1999-2000 there was a lot of talk that Yahoo! market cap cannot possibly be higher than that of GM and Ford combined. It's still higher, and for a good reason.

      Reasons to Give Thanks for Capitalism
      Agree with author. Almost. My 2 cents: I give thanks to capitalism and democracy. Both have huge problems. And both combined together are better than anything you can try to put in their respective places. Reason? Simple, really: both systems have good negative feedback systems. Market in capitalism and elections in democracy are those feedbacks. They are not perfect, but they work. Those who studied automatic control systems know that only system with negative feedback loops can be stable and controllable. Why we need both? Sometimes markets fail, and government has to take action. But undemocratic government might start making moves which might destroy the market. And democracy without markets can deteriorate quickly (who controls media in absence of markets?)

      The Fundamental Value of Real Estate
      I agree with author (sigh). We are paying for 2000-2006 real estate bubble, when everybody was talking about real estate investments. Lots of people, even some people I know, speculated on real estate. Now bubble is popped, leaking gas which doesn't smell good.

      House is the shelter.

      The Broken Treasury Market
      Feels like supply is too low to satisfy demand. Everybody and his dog is buying treasuries. Financial world is scared to death.
