Geithner on a Fool’s Errand in China / InvestorEducation / US Bonds
By: LewRockwell
Bill Bonner writes: This week brought an entertaining episode. Wall Street’s man in Washington, incidentally Secretary of the US Treasury, was sent to Beijing. His mission: to convince the canny Chinese of something that everyone knows is untrue – that US bonds are safe. But if the Americans keep faith with China, it won’t be for lack of trying.

Fed Credibility Bubble Bursts as Too Big to Fail General Motors Goes Bankrupt / InvestorEducation / US Bonds
By: Money_and_Markets
Martin Weiss writes: General Motors used to be among the giant companies widely considered “too big to fail.”
Almost all of Wall Street said a GM bankruptcy was “unthinkable.” Most Americans didn’t even consider it as a real possibility. And as recently as February, outgoing and incoming administration officials were still insisting they would never let it happen.

By: Money_and_Markets
Nilus Mattive writes: Last week I talked about Social Security. And given the problems with that program, along with the toll the bear market has taken on many portfolios, it’s clear why there has been a renewed interest in annuities lately.

Successful Financial Markets Day Trading Brief / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: Christopher_Quigley
Judging from the contents of an increasing number of emails more and more investors are choosing to "actively" trade the market rather than "buy and hold." In the main, this is due to the fact that in a bear market the latter strategy creates losses that are difficult to accept long term. However another reason is that with limited business opportunity available investors are seeking "income" rather than capital gain from their investments.

Portfolio Hedging Strategies Against Fresh Stock Bear Market Lows / InvestorEducation / Stocks Bear Market
By: Andy_Sutton
While it may seem rather inappropriate to talk about hedging strategies while the markets are retracing at least a portion of 2008’s devastating plunge, common sense continues to support the position that the worst is yet to come. Granted, focus has shifted to ‘less bad’ economic data and the anointing of government spending as the elixir that will return the American economy to prosperity. Yes, that whole “We’re going to spend our way to prosperity” mantra is once again in play. Make no mistake about it; what we are witnessing right now will be viewed years from now as the biggest suckers rally in history – so far.

Warrants: The Devil is in the Details – A Follow-up / InvestorEducation / Options & Warrants
By: Lorimer_Wilson
This is the promised follow-up to my earlier article entitled “Warrants: The Devil is in the Detail” regarding the merit of my decision to forego buying a particular warrant at the time of issue. What can I say other than that I was dead wrong in my assessment of the buying opportunity it presented. It has turned out to be a ‘grand slam’ of an investment rather than the possible ‘bunt’ that I feared.
