What fire? We're drowning, you idiots.
"Overall, selling by S&P500 insiders was 8,279.5x times greater than buying (per Bloomberg). There were 5 insider buys for a total of $150,673, and 117 sales for a total of $1,247,500,249. "
“managed” mutual funds?
You mean some morons still have some money left in them to pull out?
Are you sure?
>You mean some morons still have some money left in them to pull out?
I have a couple thousand in one, squirreled away leftovers from my deployment overseas.
My investment strategy is, put it in, and then “forget” about it.
I’m glad you took no offense.
Truth is I still have some remnants in such “investments” from many years ago.
“Forget about it” or cash out and buy a slurppe, What to do?
I scanned the list and didn’t see AT&T on it.
29 weeks of outflow and the Dow has gone up 10%?
We’re not in Kansas anymore Toto.
I smell a Spooky Dude.
And fresh, steaming piles of unaccounted-for TARP and "stimulus" slush-cash.
Bad strategy...IMO.
Maybe, but it is better than the OHMYGODIHAVETOLOOKOUTFORMYPORTFOILIO [stressful] or THEMARKETTOOKADIPOFXMAGNITUDESELLSELLSELL!! [foolish considering there will ALWAYS be market fluctuations] strategies.
I wonder what THEY were BUYING???
Never and Always.
But that's just me.....

>FRegards,
While they may be good rule-of-thumb, especially for predictions, there REALLY are cases where NEVER and ALWAYS are entirely appropriate, one specific case is that of Logic.
There is, in Logic, an axiom called The Law of Non-Contradiction which states:
“No statement may be simultaneously true and false.”
Restated, it is saying “It is NEVER the case that a statement may be true and at the same time false.”
Now, given my statement regarding market fluctuations it is hard to ‘see’ on the macro-scale, but becomes entirely obvious on the micro-scale. Imagine that you and someone else are trapped on an island somewhere, you know how to fish and your neighbor knows how to make alcohol so you both engage in those and sometimes trade one for the other. We have here the smallest possible economy, in fact because a market can only exist when trade occurs there are times when the market DOES NOT EXIST!
Now, zooming back out to the macro scale, we keep in mind that it is made up of these discrete micro-economies; and we learned from statistics that the bigger the population the more likely that grabbing a single point will yield an abnormal data-point. So the more/bigger our economy the more likely that a single random trade will not be abnormal. Now if we were to take a large random sample from those points it would yield a normal distribution. What this means is that when the market-sample is [more] homogeneous (less volatile) there are lots-and-lots of trades going on, and when it more volatile there are less trades going on. {A wide standard-deviation and a narrow standard-deviation respectively.
Remember because we are dealing with discrete units, at some particular interval in time, the only ways that it can be ‘constant’ are:
1) By being at the zero state; that is nobody is trading anywhere.
2) By some sort of mechanism that returns the state to its previous setting.... like this:http://radio-weblogs.com/0104693/stories/2002/11/17/directive10289.html
Don’t ever attempt to trade stocks.....
Anecdotal evidence from some friends in finance:
1) Farm and retreat property away from the cities
2) Gold and Silver
3) Overseas property
I still say we have Freepers who are aware of biggies locations.
We SHOULD be able to have a tab and when XX numbers of them leave the country . . .
But I’ve never been able to get FREEPERS that interested in such an early alert tab.
This proposal yet again, group . . .
