Better dun. RIM tablet dying, HP tablet dead, Asus tablet dead etc. Samsung surviving strong. New Ipad and iphone coming out with virtually no rivals. Market dominance. Recent announcement that Iphone 8g coming out targeting 3rd world country. I do not think Apple will die without steve job for a few years. However google recent purchase of motorola may end up with some real nice hardware but that may take another year. So for now, not a good idea to short apple. |

Just a gentle reminder, If it is really the C wave down in DJ. Some stocks might not recover in a few years to the level that is bought. Even with dividends the return will be on the low side. Better to stay on the side and watch the show unfold till it is near the end.

The news, or whatever event, usually confirm the chart... By the time the news is out, it is too late to respond... Thus, chart reading is the only way to go...  |

As a TA traders, why so concern on the what strong financial news?? Charts tell you even before any news been published.... To be a successful TA trader, we MUST not let any news or remarks to affect your judgment... Only natural disaster or terrorist attacks we can listen or else just listen to only charts.... |

USD rising and Oil sector is getting a hit today. Strong Financials today are keeping the index from further tanking at the moment.

We all know that whenever Buffet puts money into a company, it is because that company is in deep shit and he gets value in this investments. It could be a long long time (maybe a 5-10 year horizon) for BAC to return to healthy state. He will have the backing of the US govt and the taxpayers money to go along with his bet on BAC. As retail investor point of view, I still prefer to look at the stronger financial like JPM at this point.

Sorry for the interruption. Just sharing my amateur views. During this market, i believe everything will go down and Gold is dangerous as u dun earn interest or dividend from it. It is a pure gamble. However there will be mini rebound. I believe we have to identify a few very high volume stocks which are very defensive, good prospect, good dividend and extremely high volumes( always on the top 20 volume list ). Buy them whenever the market drop consecutively for a few days. Why? Cos after a few days, BB got nothing else to sell. They got to buy to sell again. Just dun invest in pennies and low volume stock cos they will just keep going downhill. |

Warren Buffett is a well respected investor in the world. He has been given away billions to charities in recent years. If you are following his recent interviews, you'll know that he is Pro-America and optimistic about America Economy. Obama is looking towards him to support the American Companies. He has no choice but to Support BAC. He's 81 years old, I don't think he is doing this for the money. You may think he's betting, but I think he's fulfilling this obligation as an America Citizen to help his follow countrymen. If BAC is to fail, it's like our POSB failing. How many ordinary people in the country will suffer if the national bank fails. For this, I really respect him. The only true Businessman, Investor and Citizen I know.

I am afraid there will be no rebound..... The questions is whether it will drop 200 or 300pt tonight.... I have confirmed (if stop) to profit at least 100pt from shorting dow.... Most likely I should gain 300pt of profit tonight.... | ||||

Be careful, markets super volatile. Worth having some puts on the US techs just to protect your portfolio. Just think, everyone wants you to believe that it isn't as bad as 2008. No... it's much worse. In 2008, the US government could fiscally stimulate and monetarily stimulate, ie spend government money and cut interest rates. Now it can't do either, except through QE which has proven not to work very well. Meanwhile the US consumer is on their knees. 18% of all mortgages in Florida are in arrears according to the Business Times today. And Europe is far weaker than in 2008. In 2008 we had some banks unwilling to lend to each other. Now we have Portugal, Ireland, Greece, Italy and Spain all teetering on the edge. The UK and France don't look much better. In 2008, Japan wasn't trying to clear up the mess of a tragic earthquake. And if you think China is going to come to the rescue, call three friends with businesses in China and ask them how sales have been in the last two months. If they tell you something positive, tell everyone on this site. But my friends tell me sales have dropped off a cliff. Take care, friends, and keep some powder dry for when valuations get attractive. Just think of when all the REITs yielded over 10-15% in 2008-09. Now that was a proper bargain. |

The major US financials gapped up on open due to the spill over effect on BAC news and tanking now. Support should comes in pretty soon. I am looking at JPM now bouncing off the gap fill support area. Will go long if the next 10 mins candle can confirm the reversal. Good Luck :p |

Buffet's previous bets on GS not doing well. I wouldn't jump in on BAC now at $8. If it gets back to $3, perhaps I would consider to place a bet on the long side.

Market wants Bernanke to be Mighty Mouse...http://money.cnn.com/2011/08/24/markets/thebuzz/index.htm?iid=HP_LN Stocks may recover. But don't expect much.So what could Bernanke say that won't freak out jittery stock traders and investors?, earlier this month following its last policy meeting. At that meeting, the Fed controversially pledged to keep short-term rates " exceptionally low" until mid-2013. Some market experts (not to mention 3 Fed members) disagreed with the notion of spelling out a specific time frame for raising rates. Fed also said that it " will regularly review the size and composition of its securities holdings and is prepared to adjust those holdings as appropriate." It added that there is a " range of policy tools available to promote a stronger economic recovery" and that it " is prepared to employ these tools as appropriate." And it's that language that market strategists said they are hoping to hear again from Bernanke. In particular, they would love for Bernanke to give more details about those tools -- even if one of them is not QE3. Economists surveyed by CNNMoney said that lowering the rates that the Fed pays banks on excess reserves could encourage financial firms to lend more. There also has been chatter in the bond market about how Bernanke could bring back a modified version of the 1960s " Operation Twist" program. The Fed could sell short-term debt and buy longer-term bonds in order to further flatten the yield curve (even though there is some concern it's already too flat) without adding to its already overstuffed balance sheet. NOTE: " Bernanke is the market whisperer. Whether you agree with him or not, it's clear that investors are going to follow his every word. And he needs the markets to be higher," she said. " If a higher stock market inspires confidence, that could be a key way to help the Fed indirectly fulfill its jobs mandate."
