... begabter Dummschwätzer, der lange Zeit vor einem mässig zahlenden Publikum gerne lustvoll auf die Kacke gehaut hat. Aber auch seine mediale Zeit ist vorbei.
Ich finde ihn sogar dann ätzend, wenn er zufällig mal 'was sagt, was mir in den Kram passt...
Das einzige nachhaltig charmante an ihm ist sein Schweizer Akzent im Englischen ;-)
Ich bin Gold long bei 1095,7.
Grund:
Bernanke und Obama haben heute beide einen großen Auftritt. Man wird der Welt versichern die Zinsen (Bernanke) niedrig zu lassen und weitere Schritte zur Stimulierung (Obama) der Wirtschaft unternehmen.
Beide werden die Welt wieder kurzfristig beruhigen.
Permanent
We agree, that we disagree ;-)
"short Call in Verbindung mit short Futures ist die aggressivste und unter bestimmten Umständen lukrativste Form des Bären-Daseins."
Hier sind wir noch einer Meinung...
"Wenn überraschend eine Fahnenstange kommt, ist man pleite. Für den gemeinen Kleinanleger ist die Strategie daher eher nicht geeignet."
...aber hier beginnt die unterschiedliche Sichtweise: es ist vor allem eine Dimensionierungs- und Timingfrage. "Timing" im klassischen Sinne kriegt man sowieso nicht hin, ausser bei Zufallstreffern oder Jahrhundertgenies. Also muss man sich bzgl. Timing defensiv positionieren, und short Call ermöglicht das vielleicht sogar besser als andere Techniken, weil man Zeitwert kassiert und nicht verliert.
Wenn man zu gierig ist (Dimensionierung und/oder Timing), dann kann einen in der Tat die Fahnenstange ganz böse erwischen. Aber da gibt's nur einen Unterschied zwischen dem gemeinen Kleinanleger und dem grossartigen Grossanleger: der erstere legt eine gemeine Kleinpleite hin, der letztere eine grossartige Grosspleite ;-)
Wirklich überraschende Fahnenstangen kann es bei Einzelaktien (Volkswagen :-) geben, ein bisschen auch bei FX oder Commodities, aber deutlich weniger bei Indizes wie DAX oder SPX.
Trotzdem: ich gebe zu, dass sich der eine Raufbold halt lieber ein Klappmesser einsteckt, und der andere lieber einen 38-er. Das kann man nicht wirklich argumentieren, und in den Knast kommen können beide.. ;-)

The Bears Have the Upper Hand

A few days ago, I wrote that a failed bounce would be the tip-off that this market is undergoing a change in character. Over the last six months, nearly every time we pulled back and started to bounce, we just went stronger. The bears were squeezed and under-invested bulls were forced to chase entries higher in order to add some long exposure.
The action today was much different to what we saw in the big rally last year. We did rally off the morning lows, but we never saw any really vigorous action, and other than Apple (AAPL) , Priceline (PCLN) and a few oils, there wasn't much leadership.
Then, instead of gaining strength at the end of the day, like we did so often last year, things fizzled and the selling pressure intensified. Even AAPL and Google (GOOG) gave back big chunks of their gains.
It was the banks that led the big reversal. There was talk circulating that the Treasury Department is already drafting up some of Volcker's bank restrictions, as discussed by President Obama last week. Both Goldman Sachs (GS) and Morgan Stanley (MS) sold off hard on speculation that they would have to give up their bank charters and could go private.
The overall action is quite different to what we have enjoyed for a long time and not in a good way. We are suffering some significant technical damage, the news flow is negative, even though earnings are quite good, and the dip buyers have suddenly lost their joie de vivre.
Tomorrow, we have the much anticipated announcement of the Apple iTablet, the Fed interest-rate decision and President Obama's first State of the Union address. We also have plenty of earnings reports to move things around....
A lot of the pundits on CNBC are trying to explain why the market has weakened. You don't need an explanation. All you need to understand is that the market was technically ready to correct and, therefore, the news will be viewed with a negative bias.
We are undergoing a correction. We will likely see some bounces, but this time it is different and the bears are gaining the upper hand.
- but this time it is different: Ja. wir haben Winter
- bears are gaining the upper hand: und im Winter dämmern sie in der Höhle vor sich hin.

U.S. mortgage applications fell for the first time in four weeks, reflecting a dramatic drop in demand for home refinancing loans, data from an industry group showed on Wednesday.
Demand for loans to purchase a home also fell, albeit on a smaller scale. Nevertheless, a continuation of this trend would not bode well for the U.S. housing market, which remains highly vulnerable to setbacks and reliant on government intervention.
The Mortgage Bankers Association said its seasonally adjusted index of mortgage applications, which includes both purchase and refinance loans, for the week ended Jan. 22 decreased 10.9 percent to 513.0.
The four-week moving average of mortgage applications, which smoothes the volatile weekly figures, was up 2.6 percent.
The MBA's seasonally adjusted purchase index, a tentative early indicator of home sales, fell 3.3 percent to 215.6.
"Refinance activity fell substantially last week," Michael Fratantoni, the MBA's vice president of research and economics, said in a statement.
Indeed, the seasonally adjusted index of refinancing applications decreased 15.1 percent to 2,260.4.
"Although rates remain low, there appears to be a smaller pool of borrowers who are willing and able to refinance at today's rates," he said.
The lowest mortgage rates in decades and high affordability helped the hard-hit U.S. housing market find some footing in 2009 after a three-year slump.
The MBA said borrowing costs on 30-year fixed-rate mortgages, excluding fees, averaged 5.02 percent, up 0.02 of a percentage point from the previous week. An all-time low of 4.61 percent was set in the week ended March 27, 2009. The survey has been conducted weekly since 1990.
Interest rates were also below the year-ago level of 5.22 percent.
Interest rates are expected to rise when the Federal Reserve stops buying mortgage-related securities at the end of March. The Fed's agency MBS and agency debt purchase programs, aimed at lowering borrowing costs, will have reached more than $1.4 trillion.
The refinance share of mortgage activity decreased to 67.6 percent of total applications from 71.7 percent the previous week. The adjustable-rate mortgage, or ARM, share of activity increased t0 4.7 percent from 4.1 percent the previous week.
The MBA said fixed 15-year mortgage rates averaged 4.34 percent, up from 4.33 percent the previous week. Rates on one-year ARMs increased to 6.84 percent from 6.72 percent.
Caterpillar Inc.'s fourth-quarter earnings fell by nearly two-thirds, but the heavy-machinery maker said it is seeing demand pick up. "We're encouraged by signs of improving demand," Chairman and Chief Executive Jim Owens said. "Dealer sales to end users are up, order rates are up, dealer inventories came down in 2009, and we're seeing stronger service parts sales.
