I've been remarking lately that we haven't yet had the second market correction. People forget that after the stock market crash of 1929 the market seemed well on its way to a recovery before crashing a second time. It then took decades to recover. Investors would have to wait until November 1954 to recover to 1929 levels. It won't be pleasant but we need that second correction so that we can get...

The Mole submits: Wednesday will be remembered more for incompetent visually impaired Swedish officials and Messieur “Thieving” Henry than any price action on the markets. For the record, U.S. Stocks fell as profit forecasts dragged tech shares lower. Equities slipped, pulling the S&P 500 down from a 13-month high, as technology companies slid after profit forecasts at Autodesk ( ADSK...

In recent months, we've heard a refrain from some professional investors that it's "time to go to cash". The premise is that the Market has gone too far too fast amidst a still struggling economy and is now set for a major decline this week, or next week, or the week after (or maybe next month?). One such prognosticator is Robert Prechter, who we mentioned back in August . He was back again...

The rationale for the market rally since March 09 has been liquidity pumped by the Fed. The interesting point is that the market decline from summer 2008 to March 2009 has been also explained by the disappearance of liquidity. The disappearance of liquidity was caused by over levered banks. [More...]

I got two smart responses to my assertion that there's no safe haven for investors these days.
