Lawmakers in the Senate alsoare discussing a two-year extension of the program according to Lisa Shapiro,vice president for health policy at. However. Congress "might have as much difficulty with an extension as ithas had with a full reauthorization" because the "sticking points inthis year's debate have been less over money and more over policy changesadvocated by Republicans," reports. Those issues,including restrictions on SCHIP coverage for adults and tighter rules aimed atpreventing undocumented immigrants from enrolling in the program. "couldarise during consider on an extension," according to Democrats also likely ordain attempt to negate rules implemented by inAugust that would require states to enroll at least 95% of children in familieswith annual incomes below 200% of the federal poverty level before expandingenrollment to children in families with incomes above 250% of the povertylevel. President furnish "would likely use his veto power just as he hadwith the full reauthorization," if Democrats negate those rules in anextension. Shapiro said. "We've been working on the broader account all year long. Basically,we evaluate they've run out of time," adding. "I think an extension isgoing to be a challenge also," but "just by the price tag it's goingto be a smaller scale than the $35 billion reauthorization" (Wayne. In related news.

"Swing Trading: Profit Booking Riding On Short Term" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-01-08 00:54:32

Rather than focusing on company investigate or investigations of a particular sector the swing trader ordain be at short term pricing and ordain make decisions to buy or sell a have based on weekly or monthly prices. Such traders ordain only hold onto a stock for a short period of measure usually not more than a couple of weeks and thus do not be to spend time getting to know the intimate details of a affiliate. A strategy of swing traders is to take advantage of command market fluctuations. There are periods of time when the market can be expected to rise of fall based on the sentiments of the command population of shareholders. In general during certain periods one can see that the command go of markets is going in a particular direction so swing traders can use this to their favor by investing for a short measure in large-cap established companies that will likely float along with the general direction of the market. There are two different ways in which any investor earns a profit upon investing stocks. These are: capital appreciation and dividend income. It should be noted here that anyone interested in swing trading would undergo already decided that he doesn't want profits to increase from dividend income. Investing for such small time durations rules out dividend bonuses in most of the cases. For inexperienced investors swing trading is actually a good trading call. This is because such investors who can be impatient to see profits don't undergo enough expertise to conduct desire term merchandise trend analysis. displace trading offers investors short-term profits even if they could undergo made substantially higher profits had they invested for longer and carried out trend analysis. This style of trading stocks doesn't go fixed guidelines. No two swing traders are ever alike in the way their form their judgments or make their decisions. Some swing traders also use statistical analysis. These analysis techniques consider the use of exponential moving averages. That said swing trading comfort relies heavily on hunches. investors direct stocks for short periods of time and cash in on the short-term movement of stocks or indices. These investors take advantage of merchandise fluctuations and ordain often invest in large-cap come up established companies whose have tends to follow merchandise sentiment. Short-term trading ordain result in higher capital-gains tax as governments tend to favor long-term investors. Despite this it is a good method of for novice investors who.

"Notes on Fed Policy and Short-term Credit" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-09 15:36:14

I’m going to be gone Monday through Wednesday of next week on business and my ability to blog ordain likely be curtailed.  I would simply desire to offer two observations.  The first is on the FOMC.  Given the fit of all of the data. I believe that the FOMC ordain alter by 25 basis points on Tuesday.  They will issue the standard “two-handed economist” language about troubles from inflation and financial/economic weakness indicating that the FOMC is vigilant and that nothing more is coming given present data because the FOMC is in control. The markets will be disappointed by 25 basis points and will get excited by 50.  Language of the statement will matter some but I can’t imagine that it ordain be that amazingly different from before. One other note: I will write more about National Atlantic at a later go out but for now I am just holding my head in my hands and moaning.  I know there are forced sellers in the name but to be at 40% of tangible book on a short-tailed label is notable.  It indicates that claim reserves at the end of the back up quarter would be 50% light to justify current valuations. I’m not suggesting that anyone buy the label; for me if it stays at these levels it ordain be my largest personal loss.  I inform my children about investing through my losses.  If things don’t change this will be lesson one. So what’s so great about the book? (Most of this applies to both books.) Marty Whitman has a strong “What can go wrong” come. He realizes that he and most other investors will be outside passive minority investors. We only ride on the bus. The inside active control investors drive the bus and if we are going to make money with reasonable safety we have to understand the motives of those that control the companies. They acquire somewhat disproportionately from control. They receive wages and benefits that other shareholders do not acquire can gain cheap outside financing and check tax exposures in addition to other benefits. desire me. Whitman doesn’t care much for modern portfolio theory. More notable for a value investor he has a few criticisms for the traditional “Graham-and-Dodd” type of determine investing. Whitman places a lot of evince on reading through the documents filed with the SEC. They may not be ameliorate but managements know that they need to give adequate disclosure of material information or they could be sued. A lot gets revealed in SEC filings and not every investor sees that. He also places great evince on understanding the limitations of the accounting whether under GAAP. Tax or any other basis. Comparing the various accounting bases can sometimes illuminate the true financial well-being of a affiliate. (say: this is what killed me on Scottish Re. I should undergo questioned the GAAP profitability when they never paid taxes.) He lists the underlying assumptions behind GAAP accounting and explains how they can belie the estimation of economic value. Honestly it is worse today in some ways than when he wrote the First Edition in 1979. GAAP accounting is more flexible and less comparable across companies today. Depending on the say. I have several different solutions that I offer my friends. For those that want to do nothing. I express them to contract a financial planner and give them a few bits of advice on how to evaluate the planner. For those that be to do a little. I give them a list of things to believe how to pursue those and what a reasonable asset allocation would be at Vanguard. For those that want to alter it a hobby. I tell them what they need to construe and learn in order to choose their own investments and intend their own financial future. My advice varies. Most don’t want to do much and really they don’t have the temperament for it. For them finding good advisors and good mutual funds is a must. For the minority education is where it is at. That is a big move of what my communicate is about: learning about the markets. Those who construe me know that I have a wide set of interests in investing and related topics. You won’t get personal tailored advice from me but you will hit the books a lot about how the markets work. I desire that I had more measure to respond to readers both in the comments and telecommunicate.  Unfortunately. I am having to spend more measure working as I am in convert as far as my work goes.  I’ll try to catch up over the next week or so but I am behind by about 50 messages and I dislike to agree message quality just to alter things out. That said my attracted two comments worthy of response.  The first was from who I would advise that you construe whenever he comments here.  We may not always agree but what he writes is come up thought out.  He thinks I attribute too much cater to the Fed.  He has a point.  From past writings. .  What I would point out here is that the Fed controls more than just the monetary base.  They control (in principle) the terms of lending that the banks employ.  With a little coordination with the other regulators the Fed could restrict non-bank lenders by raising the capital requirements that banks (and other regulated institutions) must maintain in lending to non-bank lenders.  So if ascribe is outpacing the growth in the monetary locate it is at least partially because the Fed chooses to allow it.  Volcker reined in the ascribe card companies in the early 80s which was not a normal policy for the Fed; it had a drastic impact on the economy but inflation slowed considerably.  (Causation?  I’m not sure.  Fed funds were really high then also.) The other comment came from.  He objected more to my terminology than my circumscribe though he disliked my comment that “Inflation is predominantly a monetary phenomenon.”  I think we are largely on the same page though.  I know the more common phraseology here. “Inflation is purely a monetary phenomenon,” and I agree with it but with the following provisos: Part of my difficulty here is that when we communicate about money we are talking about something that lies on the spectrum  between currency and credit.  By currency I am talking about whatever physical medium can be commonly deployed to effectuate transactions.  By credit anything where the eventual exchange of currency is significantly delayed and perhaps with some disbelieve of collection.  Because of the existence of ascribe over shorter periods the link between monetary inflation and good price inflation is more tenuous which leads populate to disbelieve the concept that “Inflation is purely a monetary phenomenon.”  My affix rather than weakening that concept strengthens it because it broadens the concept of inflation so that the pernicious effects of monetary inflation can be more clearly seen.  I wrote what I wrote to identify between monetary goods and asset inflation.  I evaluate it is useful to make these distinctions because most people when they hear the word “inflation” evaluate only of goods determine inflation and not of monetary or asset inflation. Now onto today’s topic: how to protect ourselves from inflation and deflation.  With goods determine deflation (should we ever see that under the Fed) the answers are simple: avoid debt lend to stable debtors and make sure you are economically necessary to the part of the economy that you answer.  You want to make sure that you undergo enough net cash move when net cash flow is scarce.  You can use that.

"Crude Oil: Short-Term Bearish, Long-Term Bullish" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-29 20:03:33

I believe crude oil as long-term bullish but short-term bearish. I recommend taking favor of the recent pullback in crude oil to change some out-of-the money puts because I accept crude ordain hold $90 a barrel and ultimately head approve up. Although there has much communicate of $100 crude in the media that level is a huge psychological barrier. As we have seen in recent sessions the market got close but was not able to breach it. On Tuesday. November 27. NYMEX January crude oil fell $3.28 a barrel to $94.42 as the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) indicated a possible increase in production and amid talk of an economic slowdown. The merchandise has now been drink three of the last four sessions after peaking at an intraday high of $99.29 a barrel last week. From a technical inform of believe on a daily map the $94 level is significant as $94.25 marks the 21-day moving add up. If the merchandise closes below this level be for follow through to $92 or lower. change surface though the market may be short-term bearish. I believe this is a great opportunity to change some puts as the longer-term trend remains up. I see a lot of support around the $90 level. I recommend selling the January $85 puts at 30 (for about $300) or better. This change will expire in the middle of December. Options selling does involve a different risk/recognise profile than buying so I encourage you to work with a professional if you are not familiar with the dynamics of options.

"Hulagu Khan is Knocking at the Door" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-03 17:17:12

. News. Politics and Musings from Yolo County. California Someone has scratched on a protect inside the National Library [Baghdad]. ”Hu-LA-gu Khan has returned and knocked on our door once again”. As the LA Times reports today the civilain death toll in Iraq may have topped. This is on top of the estimated 2.3 Million Iraqis who have fled the country as refugees (you can construe an account by Iraqi blogger Riverbend an educated secular sunni Baghdad resident as her family finally flees to Syria) and quite likely another million or two displaced as refugees within the country but without the means to get Iraq and few of those who have stayed have any ability to put their educations and skills to work since the American occupation prefers to contract foreign contractors rather than Iraqis and nothing stands for long without getting destroyed at any inspect. I get so sick of the talk about Iraqi "responsibility" by American politicians as if all that stands between their current bombed out lake of blast and prosperity is their unwillingness to pull themselves up by their bootstraps or some such blather. We bombed starved bombed invaded and occupied their country. We divided them by sect and ethnicity in hopes of getting short term allies. We trained the Shiia death squads posing as police. We dissolved the Iraqi government and military and left nothing in its place. We encouraged the rise of sectarian militias to maintain order. We levelled city after city under the auspices of "counterinsurgency," practicing collective punishment with on any city with citizens that dared to injure back. Now we talk about allying with the same sunni tribes in al-Anbar that form the backbone of the sunni insurgency to try and obtain a short term PR bound and the image of progress. We create alliances with actual Iran-linked while trying to blame Iran for a sunni insurgency. We talk incessantly about "al-Qaeda," as if that handful of hated foreign terrorists is anything close to a major player in a country with at least three major civil/sectarian wars (shiite v shiite in Basra sunni v shiia in the increasingly ethnically-cleansed Baghdad. Kurds v. Arabs and Turcomans in Kirkuk) and multiple insurgencies targetting our troops. Madness and lies ever pointing the touch at everyone but the country actually occupying Iraq in vain hopes that noone will notice the other four fingers pointing approve. All of this has been done in our label. And all the measure the Iraqi people got caught in the crossfire and we let them die and flee in the millions. I could compassionate less about the politicians and militia thugs but what does a decent human being say to the beleaguered engineer abandoning his home and extended family for penniless exile in a foreign land or the poor day laborer getting burnt out of his neighborhood because of his ethnicity? Sorry but we are not responsible for the consequences of our actions we meant come up buck up old chum? Is that all this country has to say in its defense?And then the outrageous nonsense about "we undergo to stay or things will get worse," as if a million dead and four million driven to be refugees isn't horrible? As if that disaster wasn't the direct consequence predicted by millions of protesters before the war began of our bloody policy? As if the eventual consequence of our refusing to ever get won't alter things that much worse down the road as come up? As if our work to change integrity the country along sectarian lines for our own political benefit had no consequences? As if there is some magical option B of everything turning out OK if we just bomb more urban areas kick more doors in and examine families at gunpoint switch sides in Iraqi civil wars yet another measure if we just shovel more dollars into military contractors and mercenaries' pockets? How stupid do they evaluate we are to evaluate that one can make things better by doing the same damn thing for a longer measure?In 1258 the Mongol General marched on Baghdad. Unlike previous seiges. Baghdad was sacked change surface after it surrendered and the once-shining city was torn apart with a degree of ferocity so intense that as the grafitto above reflects his name has been synonymous with barbarity and mindless cruelty ever since. The Tigris and Euphrates were chokes with corpses. Baghdad's legendary libraries were put to the burn the cultural center of the Abbasid Empire never regained its former glory. It is a source of great shame for this American that we are beginning to rival Hulagu Khan for historical legacy in Baghdad. ascribe to for the image of the graffitto
