The bag and the luck factor

The other day a friend commented that I had to bring someone very close to him to point to in the Register of Forbidden Game, and so do not allow it to enter into bingo, casinos and gambling. Of course until you get to that point this person went through all stages of the disease of gambling addiction and talking about this issue we could not avoid comparing his situation with that of many people who know who have ended up ruining in equity markets (myself I ruined by the first time with future debt in 1994 but I was able to recover) and surprise that we in the Register of Forbidden Game does not include the stock market or futures crude for example.

And all this is that conversation occurred on the day of presentation of results from Lehman Brothers and its opening to finish at +17% -7% in closing (the next day down more than 40% and then declared bankruptcy) in a day extreme volatility and giving the impression that sometimes the actions behave like the roulette ball: by chance. It is true that sometimes the bag resembles a casino, and more this year where the bearish trend is clear and it fosters more moves (upward trends tend to be statistically more quiet). To make matters worse, those who have no right to such a trend can be reassured as to the wise in the period bullish as they have several enemies on the lookout, especially the FED. And is that the authorities are happy but the bullish stock market-liability or political interests, that is another matter-the damage it causes in the real economy, a bearish stock market them to try to reverse the trend and therefore damage to investors / speculators who rightly the bearish side.

In any case, I refuse to believe that the stock market is moved by chance in the medium term and I think that when it comes to investing there are objective factors that help us make the right decision. Among the key tools for me is the best PER cheap, that is, when the relationship between the price of a share and its profits (or their prospects for profit) is favorable: An action is never cheap: its price is cheap whether the benefits are kept low and its price rises or if trading but much less than its benefits. And by the same reasoning is not because they face rising prices but because its price rise more than their profits. Not long ago I read that the main stock exchange in the world, the SP500, maintained the same PER that when I was at historic highs last year although prices have fallen so much because in the same proportion had fallen profits. The stock market tends to anticipate what the figures will change in the trend when they expect a rise in corporate profits.

But if in the medium term and to invest the time to see that many tools (such GBR, technical analysis, patterns etc statistics.) Conferred to the fact buy or sell on the stock appearance true sense, we must also see that in the very short term and not talking about speculation and investment there are many factors similar to those of gambling: rumors, unforeseen data, information which is unknown, even falsehoods as happened the other day to the shareholders of United Airlines ... This year we had a very clear example on January 21 when the European stock market plummeted by Societe General's decision to unravel in a day of celebration for being less involved in USA-all future of Dax and € Stoxx purchased irresponsibly and without permission by a Jerome such. It is clear that without that factor the trend had remained bearish and that day would have probably dropped the bag but not on the scale that it did, and it is also possible that over the next day that the FED would not have taken the urgent decision to lower interest rates coup three quarters of a point. In short, if lucky enough to influence the decisions of central banks ... which will not influence us if we decide to speculate in the short term.

That's why the Internet has helped a lot that we all have good tools to work in the markets: from speed to the information and general financial institutions have adapted very well to the environment and also have created many products (futures, options, CFD ' ... s) that are accessible to the general public but nobody, not even the most skilled and experienced speculators, is immune to errors and bad luck. That is why it is essential the use of stop-loss (limit losses where rid of the position taken and we are dedicated to something else) and humility in trying to earn money which, let us not forget, is leaving to win another that can to be smarter than us.

And of course, be informed and for that I leave with you a summary of news:

Hello everybody.

Years ago, circulating a story that posed the following course:

A marriage with five children of alcoholics are mentally handicapped. The woman becomes pregnant again. ¿Dejaría you. that the pregnancy came to term or would favor stopping?

Of course there were views to suit all tastes. In the end, what came to say that story is: If you. is of the opinion that it would not fail the end of that pregnancy, you should be aware that you. would not have stopped the birth of Ludwig van Beethoven.

Over time I discovered that the story was not very faithful to reality. The father of the musician, in fact, ended alcoholic, but after the death of his wife, because it could not overcome. She was kind of sick and died of tuberculosis. Several brothers died of Beethoven being small (nothing unusual thing at that time) without, for anything, whether they were poor, and Ludwig himself, was the second of seven or eight siblings, but in no event, the sixth son .

But, despite the historical inaccuracies, this example serves to explain something to me about what I think of the current economic situation and all in relation to the impressive commentary, in my view, yesterday my dear Carsola (# 249) .

A few days ago I commented that one of the essential things that must be done at this point is to safeguard jobs. As rightly said Carsola, who stays in the strike, little is going to import everything to the Euribor. (I'm the first to participate in the daily batons to regard going to be the Euribor).

I share, one hundred percent, the need for state intervention, the cuts in rates and any other measures that could help restore some confidence in the markets. But I also say that if we stay alone in that, we are doomed to more of the failures. We would only prolong the agony. If the measures do not serve to preserve jobs, to provide financing to businesses and individuals, we will be doing a simple "remake" of that famous scene from the movie of the brothers Groucho Marx in which it repeated that famous phrase of "more wood !, While he was going to pieces by burning the train itself to feed the insatiable boiler and thus allow the train moving forward. Only this time the timber would be huge amounts of money from all of us. The insatiable boiler would be the "pantheons bank" (with the term coined by Carsola so well). And being the train, of course, the economy itself.

The resources of the states are finite and we risk squandered without contributing to overcome this difficult situation.

In all that I do not agree with Carsola is that I have not lost the hope that such a grimy among politicians, bankers, financial analysts, presidents of central banks, and so on. may not be able to put together four kilos of brain, whose neurons, serving the citizens, are not capable of leading this train of the economy to a station safely without burning their own wagons, and even the boiler of the locomotive, in the attempt.

Put another way: I am one of those who fail to follow their course of pregnancy, to the wise nature, to see whether, with a little luck, we created a new Beethoven we compose another ode to joy. (But be aware that perhaps the creature can be a new Chikilicuatre, nature sometimes makes mistakes, we put his head like a bass drum with both "perrea, perrea"). Let that be the outcome, as Droblo said, to decide.

Otherwise, over time, the economy, the bank pantheons and all of us, we may apply the words that are engraved on the tomb of Groucho Marx as an epitaph: "Excuse me lady who does not lift ".

Because all of us we will be more than tumbaditos.

Salu2

PS: Of course the story of what Beethoven is not at all to open a debate on abortion and less in this forum. XDD, XDD.

NOTARIES: By turning a blind eye to money in B in the notary, they do not want to see. Difference between selling price and real pv fictitious.
REAL ESTATE: For failure to advise either the price to be sold to real estate owners, for wanting to become rich and because the profession has been filled with rats speculative. Ex estates Co ...
ADMINISTRATION: People with power that has recalificado land for their own profit, has purchased rustic knowing they were going to do this or that thing in advance and then add value to their interest. EJ. Julian M .... And not to have looked very closely at the VPO and whom they gave.
PEOPLE IN GENERAL: Poor workers (not working poor) who have dreamed of what they had robbed the rich and selling apartments before writing, robbed in the bloated business hours, and so for pillage have 4 by 4, the duplex penthouse with a swimming pool and scrub the fronts of siblings, neighbors, etc., Bone's death, we are new snobs. (90%)
AND MANY OTHERS: As the change of currency (cost of everything), black dinerito brought to light at that time and so on.
All of this together is called CRISIS, and above the government does not know where to throw it all do not have an idea on conditions.
Well now, to see how we go out of this.

With the injection of capital to ING, it has gone up quite a stock market listing. Just this morning I read in a newspaper of paper (of course I can not put link) that Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero announced yesterday at the Congress of Deputies that the Government will invest this year to a maximum of 30,000 million euros in buying banking assets. The initiative will be activated in early November and its ultimate purpose is to acquire the titles of "high quality", said the chief executive, to restore confidence and ensure the smooth flow of credit

The news follows, but I do not want to copy the entire brick. But at the same press release also appears in a box about the Merrill report on the injection of capital to BBVA and Santander, which they said would require 6600 million (BBVA) and 2,400 million (Santander). If this is so, my personal opinion is that it would increase confidence between banks.

And changing the subject, what do you think the news that has been raised to extend the term of housing accounts for 4 to 6 years to deal with that banks do not give credits?

Good morning!.

I read that these individuals are still giving turns to the same nut, that is, that if the Euribor low, that if they have to lower floors, that if the bag is opportunity / trap, if that is true ... ..!, I feel good, but the straw (mental), do not let us see the beam (real).

I would say that what really screwed us, apart from the high mortgages, are the high prices of everything, including commodities.

I do not know if most people know as walks the bag, the bag of purchases. This is where we are sticking with the hook.

That housing has to lose is obvious, and the sub has to disappear. But what is that you can not pay what you pay for basic services, the taxes go up, politicians (with charges) that are multiplying, etc. ..

Anyway, we're with macroeconomics not miss gout and in the meantime we continue with salaries that are not up to date.

In the current crisis, many futurists, preventing a rebound in 2010, middle or end, if not rightly current crisis and the rawness of it.
This crisis, this is behaving the most typical American style, which is a great downhill and a sharp rise much more quickly and in short time, so my opinion is that the economic recovery of the current situation will be for the second half 2009, when the families will begin to review the mortgage interest rate to a more reasonable or see their next renewal and the Euribor behave in a stable way to the bottom.
That if the job take to recover another year.
Since we're throwing all odds, it is not going to be just as valid mine, the other "economists" who failed to see that coming, but that if a bull know very well the past because there has been. , And I think everyone is still wrong in the diagnosis.
Well my forecast for the Euribor today is as close to 5100%.

All agreed that the ball was so big that if resale the government would save them, with the money of all. Among them people like me who never wanted to enter the circle of success without foundation.
In January this year, we came out with the opportunity to go to work in the USA, good condition (home + car + insurance + gasoline + + travel to Spain twice the salary ... ... ... .. it was great, no?)
Only 9 months later we are in the street ... .... At least we have stopped in a street Spanish and have something of social coverage.
Now we have to look for work, fortunately we are not settled to a particular place, so we can go wherever they are better things ... .... But where? In times past the Spaniards out of work seduced us to go south of Madrid, Barcelona or north ... .. the more adventurous could go to Germany or Switzerland ... but in the current crisis Where you going? Dubai?

About what you comment on extending the term of housing account for 4 to 6 years, I feel good, but basically is a measure of the desperate. There are many people who have a house about to expire and watching to see who is falling is not the time to buy.

I do not intend to give any advice, but it does count my own experience. I also did a house and I lapsed at the end. At first it was hard, I had to return a lot of money, but today I can say I did the right thing. At first it was a handicap added to the desire to buy a flat, but the accounts I am not leaving. I thought, it's worth mortgaged for life for not only losing the account housing? Well today I tell you is not worth it.

If you think coolly, you are returning a hubieseis money paid to the Treasury, that is, that really was not yours, but yes, the penalty interest are unavoidable.

I think that the housing conditions of the account should be reviewed not only by duration, if not by amount. The most that can lead to deduct in 4 years is approximately 6000 euros, or one million pesetas. What does one million pesetas on the current prices of the flats? Nothing, not given, nor for the roles. To think that years ago, back in those days, when a flat second-hand might cost 12 or 14 million pesetas, with the housing account for nearly sacabas roles, but now "or pa pipes."

In short, I think we should revise its conditions for a return to be useful. And those who have a about to expire, a recommendation, not presionéis you to buy an apartment because of her. If you buy one, if not you going to put a rope around his neck by a cash payment, perhaps later with a little haggling can get.

Minotaur, you're right but I would not only change the conditions of housing savings account (so that all communities were the same) but the important thing would be to speak the maximum number of years for mortgages.

Iceman already said at the time.

If the broad term for 6 years, we will all have a lot more money and "ready" to utilize this savings in the end affect the prices of housing.

If we put a maximum of 25-30 years of mortgage BY COJO.NES will have to lower prices that is what is needed here so that the mortgage market returns to logic.

Can we do anything but act within the mortgages? 30mil prefer this to the millions of eggs that banks will be left to plug their holes.

Anyone who has no home, you can access a at a lower price.

Which takes "to live" gives you the same thing that gives you the same thing (or should be, but since it was moved to the next group)
