and excellent exchange of ideas also- compliments ZH-
"When I was younger I lost 10 years of my investing life following doom and gloom and Austrian economics."
response-
"how did you invest in doom and gloom and lose 10 years? The doom and gloomers are the precious metals folks who've been in a 10 year bull market."
game, set, match
Everyone catch the breakdown in the commercial REITs today (-1.5%ish)? Not sure what it means, but it sure was a nice treat.
these flippin' peep, characterized by: ""When I was younger I lost 10 years of my investing life following doom and gloom and Austrian economics."", think that Life and the Script of http://bickfordmovie.com/ , are one and the same..

@ Anon, Other thread
I-Man would certainly not be long the aud against my fav dog Bucky!
There are better ways to max that trade...
Well that's two reversal candles on the SPX: shooting star followed by a hanging man. The weekly SPX is making an evening star pattern (needs confirmation). Also at this rate the 10yr should hit 4% and the 30yr hit 5% in a week or two.
Ben had a post disappear today also, Ahab. Blogger.
I-man-
for a second- I thought it was some kind of wikileak suppression going on
Why are futures so giddy? Trying to force down 30yr yields before the auction? Last day of POMO before the next schedule? Assange locked up? Congress adding to the deficit with no cuts in spending? Thursday night football? Blythe knocking silver down?
This is an interesting "wonky" type interview with Richard Epstein.
This guy is a clear thinker in my view. I couldn't have answered these questions any better--only wish I could be this lucid with the ideas.
The first two minutes are particular fascinating as he sheds some light on the "O."
AmenRa: The market was pretty resilient today in the face of a collapsing debt market and crashing metals.
Wonder which one is the more important market? US Debt or the Equity Indices.
If you don't know the answer to this question, then you haven't paying attention.
Ha!
I dont trust the reversal pattern, Ra...
The market passed a test today. Even if it does reverse hard into the bearish scenario in the next week or so (and its running out of time,) it will likely go up and overtake that last high by a few ticks.
Wasnt enough volume on yesterdays reversal imo.
Which of the following does not belong (re: hacking)

C) Mastercard

ok I give up-
must be some kind of double secret shit going on regarding those HW posts-
diappeared twice no less
Future contracts are rolling over to March which could explain some of the giddiness.
than you, AR.. all you need to know about tonight's giddiness is this:
SYDNEY (MarketWatch) — Australia’s unemployment rate declined in November, data out Thursday showed, with the news giving the Australian dollar and the share market a lift.
Next up is Chinese interest rates..
and, thank you, AT.. I am quite taken with Richard Epstein.. i've never listened to him before.
LB stirred from hibernation for a post at Macro Man today..

" Agreed in general. Most punters only notice bonds when they blow up and granny calls about her munis and then they all start running around shouting "Don't Panic.. Don't Panic.."
This is not The End of Treasuries As We Know Them, not a sign of Imminent US Bankruptcy... blah blah blah. What this is, chaps, is a rather tasty correction of the QE2 "mini-bubble" in bonds and a hasty retreat by leveraged players (Cough: Hedge funds) who aren't generally fixed income participants and obviously they "don't like it up 'em, Captain Mainwaring" when the market turns.
LB has fancied a nibble on TIPs but isn't yet ready to lose multiple digits in USTs until we see what tomorrow's auction looks like. Other dirty ducks (mini Black Swans) include what China might or might not do this week, and a PPI number on Tuesday morning that might be a shade over-heated- that could send the TIPs spread soaring... (he said, hopefully) and provide a nice entry point into the long end, before the CPI restores order.

Ron Paul will be chairman of the Monetary Policy Subcommittee. May have to start setting the DVR for their meetings (just to see BB squirm).
@ examiner.com
"Confirmation of Congresssman Spencer Bachus will help Ron Paul's chairmanship"
"Taxpayers want to see for themselves what their government is doing with their money. And that includes specifically the Federal Reserve..."
re-inforcing the conflation of the two in the little peoples' minds. batmando commented,
"part of the government, since when?
and all along i thought the fed was a private bank"
