Note to the spooks: Sorry, I meant to say I am very offended by the insults to dear leader of this board. I do not find any of them amusing in the slightest. I am so patriotic, I even have stars and stripes pajamas so I can have patriotic dreams. Please don't send me to Cuba. I don't even like Cigars.

zensmoke Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 =DJ FOCUS: Fund Managers Now As Bearish On US As In 2002 By Sarah Spikes Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES LONDON (Dow Jones)--Global fund mangers are now more bearish on U.S. equities than they have been since 2002, Merrill Lynch said Tuesday, summarizing findings from its monthly fund manager survey. The survey found underweighting of U.S. equities is now as widespread as it was two years ago because of rising oil prices, poor second-quarter earnings performance at many companies and a mounting consensus that China's economic growth is set to slow. "Investors continue to have a deep-seated dislike of U.S. equities, and are choosing instead to overweight Japanese equities," Merrill Lynch anal cysts David Bowers and Sarah Franks said in a research report. Worldwide, the survey found rising pessimism for economic growth in general, and for corporate earnings growth. Managers became bearish on profit outlook for the first time since April 2001, the study found. "There has been a real twist down in both the growth and earnings outlook globally," Bowers said at a press briefing. In the U.S. and the Pacific ex-Japan region, there were more bears than bulls - for the profit outlook - for the first time since 2001.

machinehead Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 A new vehicle to short? http://money.cnn.com/2004/08/06/real_estat...dging/index.htm It's very late in the game for real estate when they start writing derivative contracts on it. I would be afraid of the liquidity and the data quality underlying these contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
