  • dudemetro: Very seldom do I have time to review forum due to my job. Been a member for many years. Most trades of mine are longer term BUT I bet to the side of @Dan the other day that our BFF pal $BEN would save the day(make the rich even richer today and not add any jobs except maybe for bankers). When people make you money they are your BFF. I seldom make an aggressive large move short term but I got in $FAS short term #options the other day and it is up monster huge today. sold enough to have the houses money only in play. With plenty of easy Ben money now. Is it worth adding to some more $NBR,PBR,$MRO here due to the violence and Obama getting involved. market pull back will happen but this oil sector may not. @Dan what is your thoughts.

  • dagdog: Asset Managers Tell / question? D. Kass has been saying that he's looking at $BEN and $TROW as his market "tells". If they are down/up, the market will be down/up. I'm asking for clarification on this...might be a dumb question, but do these two go up when clients are investing money into their funds or just buying the stock?
  • Henry: $BEN TROW Their assets grow as do their fees, when stock prices appreciate. Their assets also grow when people buy their funds, but there is no public real time info on the later, so the price moves are related to supply and demand for their stocks. I believe there is a correlation but I don't buy Kass's logic that they are the tail that wags the dog. @Henry long $TROW edited to remove double negative
  • dlylis: $BEN TROW - @Henry, I would have to agree about the tail and the dog. I don't see mutual funds as a barometer for the market and $TROW stock prices would seem to me to be a proxy for the mutual fund market. But then again, I may be wrong.
  • dagdog: $BEN TROW - Thank you everyone for your input. I thought it to be a curious correlation but then again, I often find comments of Mr. Kass to curious.

  • taylor: Re: Market Tone today - apparently the 'risk on' trade is back, and the mo-mo stocks rally hard. Notable in its absence from the list is Netflix - NFLX. The stock rallied back to 160 resistance, then gave it all back and went negative with the DJIA up 125 points. We will see what the close looks like.

  • Dan: Posted by Pat(rick) Dec 05,2007 8:57 AM Asset Managers could be vulnerable over time- Friedman Billings Friedman Billings notes with the market's 6% to 8% correction, November was not kind to most asset managers. The firm says in a slowing organic growth scenario, asset managers--trading at a 17.6x average forward P/E multiple (21% premium over the S&P 500)--could be vulnerable over time. Furthermore, they believe that the group has benefited from recent rotation out of credit-sensitive financial stocks into those without balance sheet issues, such as asset managers. Firm says the rotation could reverse itself quickly if/when it is viewed that the banks have bottomed or if market conditions start having a meaningful impact on the earnings of the "safe" asset managers. (tickers associated with this note include $FII, $BEN, $JNS, $LM, $TROW, WDR)

  • Yachtsman: Money Managers Along with Fannie Mae, another group within the financial sector that I believe has been unduly tarnished are the money managers. Stocks such as $BEN and $TROW have been caught up in the wide net of the selloff in the #financials even though they have no direct exposure to the subprime lending debacle. Hopefully, as the extent of the subprime exposure becomes more obvious and specifically confined, other groups within the #financials and related sectors will be better quantified and their lack of direct relationship to subprime mortgages will allow them to lift or at least not be tarnished with the same broad brush. Long: $BEN

  • Brick: Bortner $BEN, my $0.02 for a 20 year old Investor / Trader During this pursuit, be patient with yourself, and your progress. Eliminate any type(s) of # pressure to perform# . Choose not to compare yourself with others. Compete only with your previous level of knowledge, experience, and understanding of the Market. You have plenty of time, over the rest of your life, to make mistakes. Allow yourself the luxury of youth to just learn and reflect. The demand to achieve will soon be omnipresent. Capitalize on this opportunity to gently grow into the Trader and Investor you can become.
