That reminds me yesterday (on these freudian slips which are funny)...

It seems that Thor and dss (from the other blog) have gone off to do their own "bloggeteer thing"...

Yesterday there was a link to their new blog domain... and the link said:

ANONYMOUSETRADERS. yada yada

Yeah... I'll "cya real soon"!

Also... After months of efforting to come up with a new identity (and never an actual slogan) the best you can come up with is to REVERSE "traders-anonymous" (which was karens idea in the first place)...

That's like if Obama had instead just changed his name to George Barack Hussein ObaMA BUSh...

Oh no! I said MABUS!

mcHAPPY said...: CV,

You have a great blog with great conversation going. It is your blog but if you want my advice (which you probably don't as you didn't ask) I'd leave it. This whole situation is kind of ridiculous given the amount of time that it has been going and the insults being hurled.

Basically, you have a great blog, forget about the others.

Do as you wish as I know you will.; October 29, 2010 at 8:51 AM
Jennifer said...: Basically, you have a great blog, forget about the others.

Well said. I agree.; October 29, 2010 at 9:13 AM
cv said...: @mcHappy

You're free to express that if you wish, and I'm sorry if that aspect of the process bothers you...

However, I'm of the the devout philosophy (in all parts of life - not just blogs), that a little bit of controversy needs to exist to keep the juices flowing...

You should note, that when I hurl criticisms around, I do it AT GREAT RISK to how my own personnae is perceived (it's a VERY BIG RISK which I'm acutely aware of - I don't just do it willy nilly)... Generally speaking, people DON'T LIKE IT when a person seems to act negative all the time...

But I do what I do WITH PURPOSE... And that purpose is to expose people to the darker side of things (or aspects that tend to get glazed over because people tend to avoid looking at things deeply)...

Frankly, I know myself (and my communication skills) in ways that aren't easy to express over a blog... But I know that, OVER TIME, people will either come to either

- know me as a COMPLETE person (which is my goal)
- abandon me in the process (which is also beneficial to me personally because I get a better idea for who is truly thinking, and who is only glancing

The bottom line...

I'm not simply looking for "conversation"... If I wanted that, I could go stand around the grocery store aisles and yak away with people...

I'm looking to "stand in" with a group of individuals who can express themselves boldly (in a world where most feel that they are TOLD WHAT TO DO)...

I don't want to "stand in" with a bunch of "agree-ers"... Those types won't stand the test of time... They will not SURVIVE...; October 29, 2010 at 9:22 AM

karen said...: Jenn.... this is too much to bear:

Coinstar Inc.'s (CSTR) third-quarter profit dropped 53% as the prior-year impact of discontinued operations masked core earnings growth that topped expectations on sharply higher revenue.

Shares were up 15% to $53.09 in after-hours trading as the DVD kiosk operator raised its earnings target for the year to $2.14 to $2.20 a share from $1.88 to $2 and tightened its revenue estimate.

Coinstar has seen its Redbox business grow rapidly and has sold ancillary operations to focus on the unit and its coin-counting operations, including its electronic-payment services business earlier this year. DVD revenue, the vast bulk of the total, jumped 54% to $305.5 million in the latest quarter.; October 29, 2010 at 10:18 AM

I agreed with him 100% when he was basically talking about how equities are DEAD here...

When I say DEAD... I mean, really untradeable... It's kind of silly that we spend so much time talking about it...

I'm getting very close to just pulling everything out, holding cash, and buying more silver & gold on pullbacks (physical)...

I have enough gold... And I have a decent start with silver, but I'd like it broken up (vis-a-vis coins)...

It's all going to be about FX going forward... & I probably can't stomach the swings of electronic commodity trading...

I'm liking less and less the idea of these masterminds knowing the position sizes of everyone in the universe...

Anonymous said...: "as the prior-year impact of discontinued operations masked core earnings growth"

That's a recipe for earnings manipulation. When they have a big loss from discontinued operations, companies sometimes try to hide continuing operations losses in the discontinued operations losses.

Basically, the way I learned to raise a red flag is this. Watch for a spike in core margin ((Sales - COGS - SGA)/Sales). When you see one, look to see if there is a simultaneous spike in non-operating expenses. If so, then dig deeper to see if any operating expenses have been reclassified.; October 29, 2010 at 10:27 AM

I'm glad you agree with that... Not that I'm trying to build a consensus on things, but REALLY that's a thought that's been building in my mind since August...

They always say "You can't fight the Fed"...

I wholeheartedly DISAGREE with that notion, and frankly would be willing to trade AGAINST the Fed any day of the week...

But trading AGAINST the Fed doesn't mean you have to sit here and short S&P futures...

I'm a practical guy... & I know what the PRACTICAL ways to do it are...(fight the Fed)

- don't botrrow money
- don't hold your money in banks
- hoarde necessary assets before your so called "money" loses it's buying power

Everyone laughs at me that has been using their CHASE cards for purchases all summer where the BIG DEAL is that your purchase gets ROUNDED UP to the nearest dollar and that money gets deposited in a savings account that gets paid 1% interest...

Whoop-de-fucking-doo!

I pay cash, ask for my change back (round up to the next dollar), and ask for change back in nickels... Toss em all in a huge 100 gallon garbage can...

The copper value of the nickels has gone up 25% over the summer...

If you walk in to a bank today with $10 bucks and ask for 5 $2 nickel rolls, you just made yourself 20% right then and there TAX FREE...

McFearless said...: CV,

but here's the thing, as I'm to understand it if you were motivated enough, you could purchase similar technology to see the orders, KidD has talked about this several times over the last few months, it's sort of an empty argument when that is considered. Also, if HFT's/Algo's are quote stuffing, just because they can see "orders" doesn't mean they know for sure if they are real or not, the most sophisticated technology couldn't capture that.

my point was that all companies are going to have an advantage over an individual when it comes to information, in every single business, this is not exclusive to wall street.; October 29, 2010 at 11:07 AM

McFearless said...: "Chances are, he's not bought himself a ticket onto the Ryder Cup team..."

Exactly, I often think about it in terms of opening a burger joint that competes for business with McDonalds. Easy? Hardly. Are you likely to miss things they wouldn't? Probably. Could you do poorly and claim McDonalds rigged the burger market? Well, you probably could, but it sounds a little silly this way, it makes more sense to just say the odds were stacked against you competing with a behemoth like McD's.

maybe not the best example, but the point is, markets aren't rigged, most people crying this, well I think I have a good idea about what sides of the market they were on in 2008 and 2009.; October 29, 2010 at 11:21 AM

Who am I to say no to Barny? Anyway, he got stuck, so I have spent the last half hour extricating him from my bum. But no worries, this wasn’t his first spelunking expedition and he will clean up nicely, but until then. He is just going to have to sit in the sink.

So, I finally got a chance to re-read the 8:33 post about that cute name Anon-O-Mouse, great one liner, but it did sound a little like Nanny Nanny Poo Poo.

I hardly go at all anymore (maybe about twice in the lat month)...

Not that it's a bad blog... But it's just that these minute waves that DAN is trying to dissect is a bit like sitting outside knitting in a hurricane...

I'd rather be in touch with what's going on in a larger realm... The LARGER REALM is that we happen to be in a period where we're going NOWHERE FAST...

Light, sweet crude for December delivery lost $1.01, or 1.2%, to $81.17 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, after hitting an intraday low of $80.56. Brent crude on the ICE futures exchange gave up 76 cents, or 0.9%, to trade recently at $82.83 a barrel.

The decline follows the U.S. Commerce Department's report of 2% growth in third-quarter gross domestic product, slightly below the 2.1% expected by economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires.
