Good morning and good evening, wherever you may be reading!
The S&P 500 Index was down for the week, FRE and FNM fell below $5.00/share, simply a very troublesome development that may create hedge fund problems. Could the huge drop in crude on a Friday be related to hedge funds screaming for liquidity, especially after Goldman Sachs called for crude to rise to $150/barrel by year end? That's what we call a dislocation. The strange actions from Russia will not go away easily; even Vice Presidential candidate Joe Biden agrees: http://biden.senate.gov/press/press_releases/release/?id=36fe9293-3b03-424d-8dbb-2a969b5e30f9
Add the hanging potential for an Israeli strike against Iran's nuclear facilities, and do you see obvious reasons for bullishness? POTC feels the bear market rally on Friday is a good lesson in market mechanics, as FRE and FNM's precipitous price erosion has caused a market dislocation. We remind you September has historically been the worst month for the stocks. Next week also brings the three day Labor Day weekend, so great caution is urged late in the week, but especially on Friday.
From an economic perspective, Monday-Thursday looks to be...

Are you guys doing this for charity? I paid for thestreet.com's services for 3 months, and I sadly admit, have evolved more here, very funny and very good site.
You’re too kind. We’re working on a service site as well. It takes 18 hours per day sometimes to do research and bring educational and timely ideas. We appreciate the comment, as we also subscribe to thestreet.com and seven other paid services. Research is critical, but interpretation and timing are monumental. We always try to remind readers of patience and the fact that cash is king (never force trades).
I visit 5+ times a day to check for updates on this site. You all do a great job. Thanks! I'm curious to know if there are any other forward thinking blogs (such as yours) that you all visit/track.
