Anbei die neuesten CoT- Daten vom 6.12.2008
Bez. des S&P 500 - Futures haben die Commercials ihre Netto-Short - Kontrakte weiter aufgestockt (auf nunmehr 150.000). Das ist der absolute Rekord - Wert der letzten 12 Monate. Gleichzeitig sind die Netto - Long - Positionen der übrigen Händlergruppen (Large und Small Specs) auf einem 12 Monats - Top.
Ich hatte schon in einem anderen Posting (#2134) darauf verwiesen, dass entscheidend die Commercials !! sind. Deren "timing" war bei der letzten "baisse 2000 - 2003" geradezu optimal. Die diversen "kleineren Rallys" der letzten Tage haben die Commercials also überhaupt nicht überzeugt (i. S. einer Trendwende), eher noch skeptischer gemacht und sie haben ihre Short - Positionen weiter ausgebaut.
Auch sei auf einen von einen von mir auf posting # 2487 eingestellten Artikel verweisen. Dieser Artikel deutet die derzeitige Extrem - Diskrepanz in den Positionierungen zwischen den Commercials und den anderen Händlergruppen dahingehend, dass ein grosser Sell - Off wahrscheinlich wird.

John Maynard Keynes als einer der herausragenden Ökonomen der neueren Zeit dürfte bekannt sein (derzeit wieder aktuell). Er war aber offenbar auch ein recht erfolgreicher S p e k ul a n t und Fondsmanager, der an den Börsen eine Menge Geld gemacht hatte. Nachfolgender Artikel beschäftigt sich mit einigen seiner E r f o l g s r e g e l n. Diese können mit Kostolany wohl mithalten.

The World's Most Successful Depression-Era Investor
By Chris Mayer, editor, Capital & Crisis
You probably know John Maynard Keynes as an economist, but may not know that he was also a great investor, maybe the most the successful of the Great Depression era. And for that reason, given all that our own markets are going through, it may be a good time to look at his investment career.
Keynes managed Cambridge's King's College Chest Fund. The Fund averaged 12% per year from 1927-1946, which was remarkable given that the period seemed to be all about gray skies and storm clouds – it included the Great Depression and World War II. The U.K. stock market fell 15% during this stretch. And to top it off, the Chest Fund's returns included only capital appreciation, as the college spent the income earned in the portfolio, which was considerable. I think it must be one of the most remarkable track records in the annals of finance.
Keynes also made himself a personal fortune as an investor. When he died, he left an estate worth some $30 million in present-day dollars, which surprised his contemporaries.
How he did it is the subject of this essay. A new book by Justyn Walsh, Keynes and the Market, is our chief guide on the subject. Keynes began as a run-of-mill speculator and trader, trying to anticipate trends and forecast cycles. The Great Crash of 1929 sent him back to the drawing board. Keynes was, in fact, nearly wiped out in the Great Crash. His personal net worth fell by more than 80%. He then had a great conversion. Trading the market demanded "abnormal foresight" and "phenomenal skill" to work, he concluded. "I am clear," the new Keynes wrote in a memorandum, "that the idea of wholesale shifts [in and out of the market at different stages of the business cycle] is for various reasons impracticable and undesirable." After the crash, he became an investor, rather than a speculator. His new ideas on investing began to presage those of value investing icons Ben Graham and Warren Buffett. Keynes now focused less on forecasting the market. Instead, he cast his keen mind on individual securities, trying to figure out their "ultimate values," as he called them.
He summed up his new philosophy in a note to a colleague: "My purpose is to buy securities where I am satisfied as to assets and ultimate earnings power and where the market price seems cheap in relation to these."
He also became more patient. Paraphrasing from his own analogy, Keynes described how it was easier and safer in the long run to buy a 75-cent dollar and wait, rather than buy a 75-cent dollar and sell it because it became a 50-cent dollar – and hope to buy it back as a 40-cent dollar.
Keynes learned to trust more in his own research and opinions, and not let market prices put him off a good deal. Keynes developed a fierce contrarian streak. One of his greatest personal coups came in 1933. The Great Depression was on. Franklin Delano Roosevelt's speeches gushed with anti-corporate rhetoric. The market sank. America's utilities were, Keynes noticed, extremely cheap in "what is for the time being an irrationally unfashionable market." He bought the depressed preferred stocks. In the next year, his personal net worth would nearly triple.
In a note, Keynes laid out his understanding of the quirky, contrarian nature of investing. It is "the one sphere of life and activity where victory, security and success is always to the minority, and never to the majority. When you find anyone agreeing with you, change your mind." He also learned to hold on to his stocks "through thick and thin," he said, to let the magic of compounding do its thing. (In a tax-free fashion, too, by avoiding capital gains taxes.) "'Be quiet' is our best motto," he wrote, by which he meant to ignore the short-term noise and let the longer-term forces assert themselves.
It also meant limiting his activities to buying only when he found intrinsic values far above stock prices. Keynes came to the conclusion that you could own too many stocks. Better to own fewer stocks and more of your very best ideas than spread yourself too thin. At times during Keynes' career, half of his portfolio might be in only a handful of names, though he liked to mix up the risks he took. So though five names might make up half of his portfolio, they wouldn't be all gold stocks, for instance. "For his faith in portfolio concentration," Walsh writes, "Keynes was rewarded with an investment performance far superior – albeit more volatile – than that of the broader market." How to Let the World's Greatest Investors Make You Rich What You've Got Wrong About Value Investing In the depth of the Depression, Keynes lost a friend, Sidney Russell Cooke, who took his own life after suffering severe losses in the market. Keynes, perhaps reflecting on this experience, wrote that investors need to take losses with "as much equanimity and patience" as possible. Investors must accept that stock prices can swing wide of underlying values for extended stretches of time. Keynes' investment performance improved markedly after adopting these ideas. Whereas in the 1920s, he generally trailed the market, he was a great performer after the crash. From 1931 to 1945, the Chest Fund rose 10-fold in value in 15 years, versus no return for the overall market. That is a truly awesome performance in an awfully tough environment.
zog der Nasdaq den Dow wie angenommen hoch( #2520), allerdings darf der Dow sich nichts auf seinen Anstieg einbilden. JP Morgan stieg auf über 5%, auch noch zwei weitere legten etwas zu, der Rest hielt sich vornehm zurück oder landete im Minus. Für Montag: Dax-Hündchen wird wohl erst wieder dem DOW hinterherlaufen; bin aber skeptisch, ob der Dow seine Richtung beibehält.
Zu meiner großen Überraschung war Wal-Mart einer der top Gewinner. Ich hatte in der letzten Woche einen Short auf Wal-Mart im Depot (siehe Postings im Bärenthread) der sich für mich positiv entwickelt hatte. Somit kann ich nicht nachvollziehen weche Daten ihr hier zugrunde legt.
@Keno77 Posting 2546, woher kommen diese Informationen?
