US Treasury: Estimates Tarp Losses At $105.4 Bln, Down $11.4 Bln From Previous Estimate
Lower TARP losses due primarily to rise in value in government stake in Citigroup
I don't know about Catnip's friend's analysis...but what I've seen in today's Dow, S&P, gold, oil, Euro - the volitility & subsequent collapse (VIX 36!) - points towards an impending bloodbath...as early as tomorrow! Add to this Europe's disagreement over austerity measures & the German shorts ban...and we have the perfect Hitchcock thriller (w/ only the result foreseen).
I'm grateful for all the money that the market has given me in the recent months. I'm backing myself to sit out this bloodbath in patience...and (hopefully) reenter in a few weeks time.
Call it contradiction or indecision...but I might be a winning loser than a losing winner! Through the eve, I've traded (manually) and cut my entire position by about 85% of what it was yesterday. I'm in the market now only as a formality...and to keep in touch w/ you guys. ;)
O/wise, look at the volumes (good in falling) & look at the liquidity. I may be proven wrong...but I'll be happier if I can keep in earnings intact. G'luck!
