How Much Are You Paying Per Trading Course?
Even in these tough economic times companies are still trying to exploit people’s desire to expand their trading knowledge!
They are charging hundreds and even thousands of dollars for access to 2-3 hours’ worth of mediocre education. If anyone has actually paid for the education, they quickly realize that in order to continue and get the “expanded education” they need to continue to spend even more! It’s a vicious cycle to separate you from your hard earned money without actually providing you with worthwhile material.

Why Am I Bearish?
Here is some great post from some of my favorite bears. Do the bears really have a case considering the recent market?
From Zero Hedge......
"The One Trillion Commercial Real Estate Time Bomb"
Imminently, Zero Hedge will present some of its recently percolating theories about some oddly convenient coincidences we have witnessed in the commercial real estate market. However, for now I focus on some additional facts about why the unprecedented economic deterioration and the resulting epic drop in commercial real estate values could result in over $1 trillion in upcoming headaches for financial institutions, investors and the administration....Complete Story
From Atilla at Xtrends....
Modified "P-Index"
Do you remember this custom index I created back in August 2008 which helped me to capture the crash. The following chart belongs to the new version of that index. This modified P-Index contains an additional sector and all of its coefficients are adjusted accordingly. I have been following this new index for the last few weeks and it was another reason I called 850 area intermediate top. It doesn't matter whether SP overshoots 10 or 20 points above 850, we are forming an important intermediate term top here....Complete Story
From "The Slope Of Hope"....
"Post Test"
Well, I'm done with my exam, and wow, it was a tough one. I'll be kind of stunned if I actually manage to pass it. I'll find out in a few weeks, I'm told. Speaking of stunned, that's how I felt (mildly) when I saw this in today's Barron's, which I've scanned in for you I honestly thought it wouldn't be until autumn that we say this kind of public sycophancy. I mean, seriously. "Thank You"? Isn't it just a little premature? But Sy Harding might be right in this respect - - maybe 2009 will be the bottom of the bear. I've tried to look at the long-term charts with fresh eyes, and I'm starting to question my oft-repeated notion that we're going to claw our way to 1,050 by autumn and then plummet to the 400s on the S&P....Complete Story

Is There A Gold Conspiracy?
In the short term, the precious metals, especially Gold, are trading counter to the stock market, but we have also seen precious metals rally along with stock market during the 2003 and 2008 bull cycle. Regardless, in the long term, precious metals should rally because of currency debasement and the resulting inflation which follows. I have recently inaugurated the VR Gold Letter (which covers most other metals as well) to focus on the unique opportunity ahead in the natural resource arena.
Heretofore, Gold has been rallying recently, even when the US Dollar Index rises, as investors seek its safety because both stocks and bonds are falling. A stock market rally and any greater intervention by ‘Helicopter’ (or is it ‘B-52′) Ben Bernanke could change this. Overall the bear market in stocks, huge budget deficits, increased government spending, and nationalization of the banking system has led many investors seeking the safety of gold. Ultimately, the objective here is to protect ourselves from fiscally irresponsible central governments, not to mention the risk of their bankruptcy. Gold will never go to zero and history shows Gold as the ultimate and longest lasting store of value - not worthless fiat currency. I want to be long on the day when gold gaps up $500 an ounce and you can’t buy it at any price.
The world’s largest debtor nation is trying to solve its debt created crisis with more debt! The risk is on the table that our own US Treasury could default on debt and even greater risk that the rest of the world will not buy our debt realizing our country may never be able to pay them back. Skeptics says that is nonsense as they can always print more money. It is clear this cannot go on for long without paying the consequences for such irresponsibility. Once central governments (ours included) realize that running the printing press 24/7 debases currency and ultimately leads to significant if not ‘hyper’ inflation - the only solution is a Gold standard. Alan Greenspan himself has said that “You didn’t need a central bank when you were on a gold standard.”
The United States has the largest gold supply in the world, estimated to about 261 million ounces, unless there is another huge fraud being perpetuated on the American public at Fort Knox. I have gone out on the limb in the absolute belief the United States will return to the Gold standard which was abandoned back in 1971 by then President, Richard M. Nixon. If the United States allows the Gold price to rise (or drives it higher) and then pegs the US Dollar to an inflated Gold price, a great deal is accomplished. The ever-growing United States debt now has collateral. The national debt would now be on its way to being balanced. If the national debt is 10 trillion dollars and Gold is trading at $10,000 an ounce, the United States now has 2.6 trillion dollars in Gold or roughly a 25% backing. My belief is that the size of the United States Gold reserve is much greater than reported and what the United States doesn’t have it can easily confiscate either by demanding redemption of Gold from private holdings, or by creating a new North American currency (the rumored ‘Amero’) which would then include very valuable mineral resources of Canada and Mexico. Though the latter event currently.....Click Here For The Complete Story

Must Read - Bill Miller "Value Funds Bury Quants"
This is a must read from Bloomberg News, "Bill Miller Not Dead Yet as Value Funds Bury Quants"
Companies with the most debt and lowest returns on assets are turning the biggest six week rally in stocks since 1938 into a bloodbath for last year’s best performing trading strategy.
Investors in so called quantitative momentum funds -- which speculate that the worst stocks in the past 12 months will continue to decline -- have become this year’s biggest losers after banks and companies that rely on consumer spending surged.
Quant momentum managers may have tumbled 27 percent this month in the U.S., the most since at least 1993, while those in Europe may have lost 20 percent in March and 24 percent in April, according to data compiled by JPMorgan Chase & Co.....Complete Story

"GM Exec Says 1,600 Will Lose Jobs In Next Few Days"
About 1,600 workers at General Motors Corp. will lose their jobs in the next few days as the troubled automaker accelerates cost cuts in order to qualify for more government aid. GM North America President Troy Clarke said in an e-mail to employees sent Monday that the layoffs are needed to ensure the company's long-term viability. "In these unprecedented times, GM is reinventing every aspect of our business, including our organizational size and structure, to create a lean and agile company," Clarke wrote....Complete Story
"Bank of America Posts 1Q Profit, Surpasses View"
Bank of America Corp. managed to avoid a loss in the first quarter, surpassing analysts' expectations and providing further evidence the banking sector might be improving. But the bank also took a hefty $13.4 billion provision for loan losses and its shares fell 55 cents, or 5.2 percent, to $10.05 in premarket trading. The Charlotte, N.C.-based company earned $2.81 billion after paying preferred dividends, or 44 cents per share, compared with a profit of $1.02 billion, 23 cents per share, in the year ago period. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expected profit of 4 cents per share....Complete Story
"PepsiCo 1st Quarter Profit Edges Down"
Beverage and snack maker PepsiCo Inc. said Monday first-quarter profit edged down 1 percent, hurt by the stronger dollar and continued weak demand for soft drinks in the U.S., but results surpassed analyst expectations. Separately, Purchase, N.Y. based Pepsi offered $6 billion to buy out remaining shares of its two largest bottlers, PepsiAmericas and Pepsi Bottling Group. Profit for the quarter ended March 21 fell 1 percent to $1.14 billion, or 72 cents per share, from $1.15 billion, or 70 cents per share, a year ago. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters, on average, expected a profit of 67 cents per share....Complete Story

Citi Trade, Missouri Bank Closed, West Va. Bank Cuts Ties To Feds
"Citi Trade Profitable But Now Tough To Execute"
A popular trade involving Citigroup shares could yield fat profits after the bank said on Friday it is not changing terms of a preferred share exchange, but new investors could struggle to get a piece of the action. The trade involves buying Citi preferred stock and simultaneously selling borrowed shares of common stock (C.N), known as short-selling. The preferred shares can be converted into common stock in a few weeks, meaning they can effectively be used to buy Citigroup shares at a much lower price than the level at which they can be sold now, potentially yielding a 200 percent profit....Complete Story
"Regulators Close Bank In Missouri, 24th This Year"
Regulators on Friday shut down American Sterling Bank in Missouri, marking the 24th failure this year of a federally insured bank. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. was appointed receiver of the bank, based in Sugar Creek, Mo. It had $181 million in assets and $171.9 million in deposits as of March 20. Metcalf Bank, based in Lee's Summit, Mo., was chosen to assume American Sterling's deposits and buy about $173.6 million of its assets. The FDIC will retain the rest of the assets to sell later. The Missouri offices of American Sterling will reopen on Saturday. Those in California and Arizona will open on Monday....Complete Story
"West Virginia Bank Becomes First To Cut All Bailout Ties"
A West Virginia bank has become the first to completely cut its ties to the federal government's $700 billion financial rescue program. The Treasury Department said Friday that Centra Financial Holdings Inc. of Morgantown, W.Va., has given the government $750,000 to buy back warrants Treasury was holding that gave it an ownership share in the company. That transaction means Centra Financial has now paid the full costs of participating in the financial rescue program. On March 31 the bank returned the $15 million in capital infusions the government had provided.

Could The S&P 500 Be Running Out Of Gas?
After a spectacular rally from the lows seen last month, the S&P appears to be running into overhead resistance.
Is this the pause that refreshes, or is this the pause that reverses the market back towards the lows?
We have said for some time that we are not that confident that this rally would continue as our long-term “Trade Triangle” remained in a negative mode. In our new video we outline the key areas that we believe will shape this market in the coming weeks and months.
The video features our “Trade Triangle” technology as well as our Fibonacci tools. We will also remind you of a concept that has been around for a while, but one that you might not be aware of.
No matter what happens, you are going to see some extraordinary markets and some wonderful opportunities to make money in the next 6-9 months.
Some investors may be hoping for the best, but be prepared as we might see another dive. I highly recommend students of the market to take a few minutes and watch my latest video. Even if you’re a seasoned pro you may find what you see interesting and therefore profitable.
As always, the video comes from us free of charge with no strings attached.

The Fibonacci Tool Fully Explained
The Fibonacci tool fully explained in this video, it’s a technical tool that can make you rich.
You may have heard about Fibonacci, the man who discovered a set of numbers who that have a major affect on the market. So who is this Fibonacci fellow, and why are his findings so important in the market place?
The mathematical findings by this thirteenth century Italian man has yielded a useful technical analysis tool which is used in technical analysis and by scientists in a large array of fields. Born Leonardo of Piza, he is better known in the trading community as Fibonacci. Fibonacci’s best known work is Liber Abaci which is generally credited as having introduced the Arabic number system which we use today.
Fibonacci introduced a number sequence in Liber Abaci which is said to be a reflection of human nature. The series is as follows: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144 and on to infinity. The series is derived by adding each number to the previous. For example, 1+1=2 , 2+1=3, 3+2=5, 5+3=8, 8+5=13, and so on.
We use the Fibonacci series mainly for retracements (see today’s video) and to show us where support and resistance might come into the market. We also use this tool to enter or add onto a position.
In our new video, we show you these exact retracements and how they affected the market at that time.

The Question Is, Can They Get Away With It?
With buy and hold basically dead, for now anyway, all of my trading has been extremely short term. I do continue to maintain and add to one position, FAZ. The 3X financial bear ETF. At this point it is obvious, the banks are worth zero. But their friends in Washington are doing everything they can to keep the public from knowing that. So really it is not a matter of if the banks are worth zero, it is "can they get away with it".
Here is a great video of Bill Moyers interview with William K. Black. One of the few people speaking the truth and I have a new found respect for Bill Moyers for airing the interview.

Why "Mark To Market" Is A Fantasy
This is exactly why you can not invest on the news, you can trade on it, but not invest on it. Check out this great article "Let's Play Pretend" by Peter Schiff of Euro Pacific Capital......
When elementary school kids want to escape the confines of their circumstances they pretend to be pirates, princesses, and Jedi knights. Now, with the relaxation of "mark to market" valuation rules announced yesterday by the accounting trade's self-regulatory body, our bankrupt financial institutions can escape their own reality by pretending to be solvent.
