I’ve been publishing The Wall Street Examiner and its predecessor since October 2000. I also publish LiquidityTrader.com, and was lead analyst for Sure Money Investor, of blessed memory. I developed David Stockman’s Contra Corner for Mr. Stockman. I’ve had a wide variety of finance related jobs since 1972, including a stint on Wall Street in both sales, analytical, and trading capacities. Prior to starting the Wall Street Examiner I was a commercial real estate appraiser in Florida for 15 years. I was considered an expert in the analysis of failed properties that ended up in the hands of bank REO divisions, the FDIC, and the RTC. Remember those guys? I also worked in the residential mortgage and real estate businesses in parts of the 1970s and 80s. I have been charting stocks and markets and doing analytical work since I was a teenager. I’m not some Ivory Tower academic, Wall Street guy. My perspective comes from having my boots on the ground and in the trenches, as a real estate broker, mortgage broker, trader, account rep, and analyst. I’ve watched most of the games these Wall Street wiseguys play from right up close. I know the drill from my 55 years of paying attention. And I’m happy to share that experience with you, right here.

He has a November column up at SmartMoney.com where he writes:
“I’m the only guy in the world who thinks the U.S. economy isn’t heading into […]

Lessons Learned

by Lee Wheeler
A lot of bears scratch their heads at the action we’re seeing and say, “Didn’t these fools learn their lesson from 2000-2002?” You could turn the question around and deduce that the bulls learned their lessons well indeed. Not from 2000-2002, but from 1998-2000.

During that 1998-2000 period, the mo-mo bullz saw that valuation […]

A Deviant Market

Jeff Saut of Raymond “You Can Call Me Ray” James has an interesting Mohel chart today showing that risk-taking behavior in the market is a tad stretched—now nearly three standard deviations away from the norm of the past six years and, by far, more euphoric than any other time since 2000.

He adds: “Verily, since the […]
