A: The DXO is the PowerShares DB Crude Oil Dble Long ETN. It appears to have moved up with
the price of oil today. However, Deutsche Bank is liquidating the ETN, possibly due to its
size of its position in the oil futures market. I wouldn't hang around; sell and find
another oil ETN or ETF. See the liquidation article at

- Q:
I'm thinking of investing in some Health care REIT's. My thinking is that they
will do well over the next few years with the influx of the baby boomers
retiring, and their need for assisted living facilities. I'm just looking for
some input on my thought process. Any sort of feedback either positive or
negative that either reinforces or shoots down my thinking will be welcome.
Thanks in advance.

A: Anectodely, the logic may be flawed, the senior living stocks have been decimated look at
Brookdale (BKD) and Sunrise (SRZ). Unless the REIT's are government funded nursing homes,
I think occupancy is a problem. more - Post your own answer

The market seems to be trading down over the past week or so. Should we expect
to see this trend continue, or is this just another short term fluctuation,
before we start trending upward again? -

wonderful man

- Q:
When a business needs capital, and when their money is tied up in receivables,
the process of acquiring financing can be difficult and demanding. When
conventional means of lending just aren't available, that's when Factoring
services) can turn quality invoices into immediate cash.
By FACTORING credit-worthy receivables, factoring services can generate working
capital for any business without the need to borrow. FACTORING is a viable
financial bridge. It allows a business to get back on track with existing
lenders and offers a realistic opportunity to stabilize financial situations.
Now that I have provided some background on my research I have to pose the
question...Does anyone on here know of any publicly traded factoring companies
or services? I think they could be profitable in 2009 with the ongoing credit
crunch. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thanks ahead of time! -

A: The only other thoughts I have is to reiterate what I already said. There are very good
reasons for the credit criss. On top of that, consumers have made sales unpredictable.
Will Apple meet forecast for iPhones? Can oil inventories sell? Will the apparel
inventories sell? the list goes on...it is very risky to lend money in this economic
situation, whether its done with fancy factoring or not...I would not want to be a part of
any company that is attempting to make a profit from handing out loans in this climate.
The climate is far worst than it appears YOU are aware of.
Would you hand out a $10K loan to a relatives business that just seen his sales reduced by
50% and is completely uncertain if inventories will sell (during a horrible recession that
is near being called a depression). Would you do a little factoring and hope to make cash
off the relative? Instead you are more likely to find your $10K getting written off when
your relative files bankruptcy.
Anyway...no one looks at questions that are not on PAGE ONE...I just happen to see this
one because there is not much going on today (lol). You need to repost, if you want to
seek further input. more - Post your own answer

- Q:
When will it be time to pull the trigger on the oil trade? I'm looking at DXO
getting cheaper and cheaper by the minute and thinking of getting in soon. Will
oil really go to $25 a barrel? The Demand problem is not as bad as they are
making it out to be, and OPEC cutting supply will figure into the equation. The
Dollar is bound to fall as inflation is all but imminent...so when is the right
time to pull the trigger on this trade? -

- Q:
New Question: Also taken from Wikipedia
Themes from Bailouts
From the many bailouts over the course of the 20th century, certain principles
and lessons have emerged that are consistent:
Act quickly and decisively
Let insolvent institutions (i.e., those with insufficient funds to pay their
short-term obligations) fail in an orderly way
Loans help the system cope with liquidity concerns, but bank solvency issues
require recapitalization (i.e., new equity investments and debt
forgiveness/elimination).
If taking over an institution due to insolvency, take effective control through
the board or new management, wipe out the common equity shareholders, but
protect the debt holders and suppliers.
Government should take an equity interest to the extent taxpayer assistance is
provided, so that taxpayers can benefit later.
A special government entity is created to administer the program, such as the
Resolution Trust Corporation.
Prohibit dividend payments, to ensure taxpayer dollars are used for loans and
strengthening the bank, rather than payments to investors.
Strong oversight.
What insight can we gain from the major bailouts of the past, in regards to
todays market? -

New Question: Taken form Wikipedia...
Consequences:
While not part of the savings and loan crisis, many other banks failed. Between
1980 and 1994 more than 1,600 banks insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC) were closed or received FDIC financial assistance.[13]
From 1986 to 1995, the number of US federally insured savings and loans in the
United States declined from 3,234 to 1,645.[7] This was primarily, but not
exclusively, due to unsound real estate lending.[14]
The market share of S&Ls for single family mortgage loans went from 53% in 1975
to 30% in 1990.[2] U.S. General Accounting Office estimated cost of the crisis
to around USD $160.1 billion, about $124.6 billion of which was directly paid
for by the U.S. government from 1986 to 1996.[1] That figure does not include
thrift insurance funds used before 1986 or after 1996. It also does not include
state run thrift insurance funds or state bailouts.
The concomitant slowdown in the finance industry and the real estate market may
have been a contributing cause of the 1990–1991 economic recession. Between
1986 and 1991, the number of new homes constructed dropped from 1.8 to 1
million, the lowest rate since World War II. [2]
A taxpayer funded government bailout related to mortgages during the savings and
loan crisis may have created a moral hazard and acted as encouragement to
lenders to make similar higher risk loans during the 2007 subprime mortgage
financial crisis.[15]
Anyone see similarities here with what is happening today? History tends to
repeat itself, can we learn from the past and predict what might happen in the
future from an investment standpoint? -
