    bmaclaverty: You are totally wrong on financials, Look into "BK" and tell me when they will be wiped out? Remember there are many different types of financials. Reply

    I thought exchanges are subject to trading-volume (and not credit) risks. The volatility on CME is extremely high. Reply

    This was an extremely well thought out article with the exception of two small points.

    1. This market has no rational relation to fundamentals
    and
    2. Americans will surrender their guns and their right to abortions before dark pools of liquidity are outlawed.

    Even though those two small points strike at the core of this well written article neutralizing its probative value, I enjoyed reading it.

    I would like you to explain why a company like Revlon which is described as "the makeup of last resort" by millions of women with the crummiest fundamentals is entering a bullish phase. If you can answer that question, you can shove Warren Buffet aside and be the new Oracle of Omaha. Because that's what this site is about - seeking alpha, not seeking rationality. Because a bet against dark pools of liquidity is a bet looking to get stomped flat.     Reply

    Why don't you just ignore the financial sector altogether. There are a lot easier plays out there instead of playing one of the most dangerous sectors. Reply

    "Berkeley Bob": Don't give up on a stock so soon and remember not to ever invest more than you can afford to lose. "bmaclaverty"... it would be hard to mimic Harvard exactly, remember they are only 12% in domestic stocks however with ETF'S and Sector Mutual Funds and Foreign Stocks you could come close, however a big part of their investment is in Hedge Funds and Private Equity.
    Remember Equity Investing just like Real Estate has to be managed it is not like a painting you buy and hang on a wall, hope this helps.     Reply

    I took a small nibble on NYX because I felt there was value at $71.75 (mid-May) but sold about a month later at $59.20 because share volume seems to continue in a long term decline. A lot of large transactions seem to happen after market close or "off books" by institutional investors Reply

    I think this is a well written article that reads like a story and not as dry financial analysis. A lot of financial journalism seems to be just facts and statistics, but I appreciate that this author took the time to work out a very well thought out, very logical analysis.

    I think that American Express has to be one of the best buys on the market if you are patient like the author suggests even though it's not his favorite pick.     Reply

    very interesting strategy for playing the financial sector. I have been really taken to the cleaners on some stocks I've held for years in the banking sector. I continue to hold Citi and Bank of America because I don't think they will go to zero but I have really been disgusted with the losses and I'm kind a stuck holding the bag.

    I like how you emphasize that investors are obviously tempted to jump in the market because "it looks cheap" and if they can't resist these were your recommendations on how to play the financial sector without unnecessary risk in case the market doesn't just snap back up like people hope     Reply

    One hears about free trade or competition only when that suits one's position -- down in a dominant country/industry/compa... heart, it craves for monopoly. Cynical? yes; valid, also yes. Reply

    Healthcare and legacy costs are partially to blame, but the UAW is, in my opinion, more of the culprit. I worked for Ford and experienced the ridiculousness of all of the red tape first hand. The UAW is nothing more than a leech. From the union reps who do nothimg more than walk the floor and shake hands, to the stupid rules pertaining to job classification, unions are a big reason why AMerican car makers are struggling. Hell, in my plant (Sterling Heights plant on Mound road for Ford) we had a guy making over 100k a year and he was a damn floor cleaner!
