TheInflationist Weekend Summary: 201209
Our last weekend summary was a month ago - since then markets have gone up about 5%. It is humiliating reading through previous posts shorting so eagerly at every alternate post - we fired shorts when Dow was at 9980, 10200, and finally 10520+10540 (hooray!). Our topside heavy approach and day-trading makes up for our 5% margin of error, keeping our portfolio value now at $107852. Shorting against the tide feels like bailing water out of a leaking boat - we are keeping afloat even though markets are 5% higher from our initial (short) position. We will keep our shorts and hope to ride this down to retest the lows.

The Debt Potato
no responses - Posted 03.12.10
The past year has been all about shifting debt. The financial crisis drove American homeowners into debt. Homeowners defaulted on their loans (or threatened to), driving the banks into debt. The U.S. government bailed out the banks, shifting debt to the public balance sheet. And over the last few weeks the "hot potato" has once again begun to move. From ... continue -
DOE stimulus grant throws spotlight on growing need for energy storage
no responses - Posted 03.11.10
A new stimulus grant of $100 million from the U.S. Department of Energy that includes support for grid-scale energy storage projects is the latest sign of the growing need to find ways of storing energy from electricity production. While traditionally storage has focused on balancing peak and off-peak usage, the need has become greater with renewable energy forms like wind and ... continue -
Will Greece Fall
no responses - Posted 03.11.10
Headlines yesterday has the ex EU chief saying Greece crisis is over. Other EU leaders are also putting the blame on banks with credit default swaps. They are setting the crime scene - pointing fingers at hedge funds. If and when Greece fails, the blame would be on hedgefunds/banks even though they had nothing to do with it. The fact ... continue -
