billy: re: ["Actually it is THE THING he needed to do because he was in this box. Not at liberty to say why at this time."] We agree to disagree. The moneychangers already had one foot in the exit door and one eye on the rest of the herd all sneaking closer to the door. That Barron's cover ("Where's The Little Guy?") set off more blackberry transmissions and weekend phone calls that perhaps any media headline, or article in the last decade. It will go down as one of the great market "markers" of our lifetime. Paulson didn't do anything to trigger this. Quite the contrary. American Home Mortgage imploded on it's lonesome. Bear's 3rd Fund implosion... happened all by itself. Paulson not only created, but supported this massive leverage of financial engineering and liquidity. And he and his cronies benefitted beyond their wildest dreams. It's not about what Paulson "did" here... it's about what he's going to have to do...about his only way out of what's unfolding...and most importantly, it's about why 90% of all traders will get it wrong. ...dead wrong. Think about that incredible finish that Boise State had last bowl season. When all seems lost... sometimes a little "misdirection" play...even something as sandlot simplistic as the "Statue of Liberty" play works...and works better than anything else. Beware the "The Statue of Liberty"... Hint: She'll be wearing a yellow dress. Don't take these guys for granted. You won't find the answers in the normal playbook. What they've got in store is brilliant and the sad part is... that they, just like Boise State, just might pull it off. That's all you get for now. SOTB Above all else...remember and apply this: ”Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.” -- Napoleon Bonaparte` That's why my "all you need to know is this" chart worked so well... for so long. -- be patient & get out of the box. -- you must ask the right question - if you seek the right answers. -- and start thinking like a fish - not a fisherman, if you really want to catch more fish.
